The merchant called to divide the
money said:
"You sold your thirty chickens two
for 81, and you sold your thirty chick
ens three for 81. That makes sixty
chickens at the rate of five for g.
Well, five into sixty goes twelve
times-twice twelve is twenty-four
That makes S24 your chickens
brought"
But as shown above the women
actually had S25 in their pockets. And
yet the merchants figures were right.
Do figures lie?

A Burglary,

City Grave Digger Scott Robinson
colored, who lives with his family al
No. 2 Starr street, was visited by a
burglar last night about o o'clock. His
daughter was sitting in a room of the
house reading, and Scott and his wife
were asleep. His wife was awakened
by some one, man, feeling her face
with his hands. She cried out and he
stopped down and laid fiat on the
floor. When she shook up her hus-
band the man rose and ran out of the
house, gettinga good fall over heavy
bar of iron, used as a window prop,
as he passed. Scott says the intruder
was a white man dressed in black
clothes and wearing a black hat.
