The Setting Hen in the Buggy.

An incident showing the strength of the
maternal instinct in hens occurred in front
OF the Imperial restaurant. on Lawrence
street, about $3.50 Saturday afternoon. A
woman VINO lives on a ranch eight miles
east OF Denver hitched horse attached to
an open buggy outside the restaurant.
Wnlle she made some purchases next door.
After doing the shopping shewent into the
restaurant after refreshments, leaving the
store employees to stow her purchases away

The bundle was made UP and the store
man placed it under the seat. AS he did

Inc surprised store employee jumped away
ana then called into the restaurant:
You're hen is gone, ma ann
Inc ranchwoman knew of no hen being
IN her buggy, but when she went out and
saw the cause of the storeman's exclama-
ton running wildly around the street, she
at once recognized her ''speckle." After
an exciting chase the hen was captured
and replaced under the buggy seat.
The cause of her presence there was then
discovered. Struggled warmly together in

~ June 9, 1895.
San francisco Cdtt-DEAR SIR: We have to-day
made arrangements whereby the rescued men
from the wrecked steamer Colima are to re-
celye series of benefits at the Circus ROYAL
Reproductions of the scenes from the wreck
are to be produced upon the water and the
rescued men are to appear in the tableaux
AS the benefits are really charitable affairs
they should receive the support of our
citizens, for many of them Ego down to the sea
prietor Circus Royal, corner Mason and Eddy
streets.
This is the first step taken toward re-
lieving the survivors of the Colima who
lost all their worldly possessions when the
steamer sank beneath the waves. By the
benefits the survivors of the crew will re-
ceive % per cent of each nights entertain
ment during the coming week. That the
AFFAIR may be more successful, seven of the
shlpwrecked mariners have been engaged
to participate in series of scenes Of the
awful wreck. The arrangements will be
under the direction of the surviving sea-
men, and they will go through the awful
scenes which were enacted on the ocean.
The seamen will also take part in the
tableaux which will make UP the general
entertainment The survivors who will
participate are Third Officer 0. Hansen

SENTENCES OF CONV|CTS,
Edward McGreavy Given Ten
Years in San Quentin
for Robbery.
Several Other Criminals Receive the
Penalty Of Their Mis-
deeds.

A number of convicted criminals were
yesterday awarded the penalty of their at
tacks upon society.
Judge Bahrs sentenced Edward Nc
Greavy to ten years imprisonment in San
Quentin. McGreavy was formerly in the
United States navy, and last February,
having been robbed OF all his money on the
Barbary Coast, retaliated by robbing an
old man named Fitzgerald of check for
500, 81 in coin and gold watch. He was
convicted of robbery.
Several prior convictions stood against
him, and the prospect when he appeared
for sentence yesterday was that he would
be given term of twenty years in the
State Prison. Assistant District Attorney
Hosmer, however, obtained the withdrawal
OF the "priors," and Judge Bahrs made an
order OF the above-named sentence.
James Hanley, convicted of burglary,
and Gus Anderson, found guilty Of the
same offense, were each sentenced to two
years imprisonment in San Quentin.
Judge Beicher sentenced William M
Harris, convicted of burglary in the second
degree, to four years imprisonment in San
Quentin, after delivering q severe lecture
to the prisoner.
Charles Upperhouse and James Roe,
each charged with assault with deadly
weapon, were given four months in the
County Jail by the same Judge.
The case against Thomas Bowe, accused
OF assault with a deadly weapon, was or
dered dismissed, he having been COM
mitted to the asylum at Ukiah as insane.

Doctors and Doctors.

A certain lieutenant in one of the
Queens regiments stationed at Quebec
was the unfortunate possessor of habit
of sprinkling his conversation with
unique variety and an appalling quantity
of strong words. AT garden party in the
Ancient Capitap' he was presented by
his hostess to .Dr. Wright" from an up
per townships. The lieutenant, being some
what bored by the affair, opened the con-
versation with his new acquaintance with
remark to the effect that garden teas were
sthe -- bores that fellow had to
put up with" The doctor allowed that
possibly they were. The lieutenant, en-
couraged by the others concurrence, went
on to recount recent experience of his at
similar gathering, and had but ex-
hausted one-half his startling vocabulary,
when the doctor, excusing himself with
panied expression, hurried away. The
lieutenant hunted up an acquaintance and
said: 81 say, old chap, who the - was

"That, was the comforting reply, twas

And then it kept US busy holding on to the

I never saw such sunrise before. l never

we could see that it came from behind
mountains. Not even the first sight of the
San Juan was more welcome to me than
that sunrise after that long, long night
but the daylight showed US that we
were long way from the land and we had
no hope of reaching it. Then we talked
little about the chances of our meeting

of the coasting vessels and whether any

Then big wave bore US up high, and

Then down we went again and lost sight
of her. Now we wondered what we should
do to attract her attention. We did what
we could. l. tore the rag of the shirt off

on her, but she changed her course and

a man in the rigging-the lookout. I
thought he must see NE, and, thank
God, he did. By and by the

for our raft. Presently she stopped and we
saw them lower boat. We knew that
boat was for us, and we were wild with Joy.

wounds we had, and the thirst and hunger,
we forgot everything, and only Toasted our
eyes on that approaching boat. We kept

ENGLISH VINEYARDS.
Wine-Making n Lost Art About the City
of London.

Though the practice of wine-making has
ceased in England for more than century
the remains and records of the old English
vineyards are abundant and suggestive,
says the Spectator. East Smithfeld was
converted into vineyard and held by
four successive constables OF the tower in
the reigns of Rufus, Henry and Stephen.
In the reign of Richard II the little park
at Windsor was taken for vineyard to
supply the castle, and it was asserted OF
the Vale of Gloucester that 'there is no
province in England that hath so many or
such good vineyards as this country, either
for fertility or sweetness of the grape; the
wine thereof carrieth no unpleasant tart
ness, being not much inferior TO the French
in softness."
1t is said that on the site of one of the
old vineyards, in park near Berkeley cas-
tie, tendrils of vines are still found SPRING
ing up yearly among the grass. Some cut
tings from these were planted and grew
into good vines. Apparently most of the
southern castles and abbeys had their
home vineyard, just as they have in France,
Italy, Germany and Hungary. The name
still clings to the fields, though the vine
yards are gone. In parts of Devonshire the
name of vineyard is given to land al
lotted to the poor under the Enclosure act.
Whatever the origin of this curious use of
the words, the cultivation OF the VINEYARDS
and the making of good wine were in some
cases continued to such recent date that
the land which still bears the name NAV be
said to have only temporarily passed out Of
cultivation.
The terraced vineyard of Beaulieu abbey
was used for wine making till the middle
OF the last century by John, duke of Mon
tagu; and the ''house of the wine press. u
built in the reign of Henry III, was kept
in repair after other buildings had gone to
hillside forms an ideal exposure for wine
growing, the manufacture did not cease
until the second hall of the eighteenth
century, excellent wine of the Burgundy
type" having continued to be made there
in the ancient vineyard. The last place in
which good wine was commonly made
from vineyard grapes on large scale was.

HIS WIFE WAS WAITING.
A Scene Which Was Better Than
y Temperance Lecture.

Temperance Lecture
A drunken man is an object of terror to
most women, and I don't wonder at it,
says woman writer in the New York
Recorder.
My lot has never been cast in the vicinity
of one and / am glad of it, for I don't
think my stock of patience would hold out
very long.
One of the wretched creatures was occu-
plying seat-in fact several seats-in an
"L" train the other day near mine and
every time he yawned or stretched out his
feet or hands made myself as small as I
could, for he was all over the place.
He fell asleep at last and his hat went
into the aisle.
The guard picked it up, rammed it on
the slumber head and then shook him
SO hard that / expected to see his teeth
drop out.
But there was no response.
Then the guard gave the poor wretch
several sharp slaps in the face, at which
81 gotter wake him up, amt I2' de-
manded the official surlily. AN dunno
where he gets off,"
So the shaking and slapping were re-
newed until the sleeping one arose in
awful wrath, squared off at his tormentor
and gave vent to string of profanity that
was awful to hear.
"What dye think you're doin'P'' he
screamed.
s.Say, you stop swearin' an tell us where
you get off, !" replied the official.
81 get off at Chamham square, and me
wife's waitin' for me there. If you wanter
fight come outside
But the guard thought better of it and
the inebriate resumed his seat, leering and
muJtering.
At Chatham square he had to be assisted
out OF the car, striking wildly right and
left and getting blows in return.
On the platform stood a white-faced,
poorly dressed woman, scanning each car
eagerly.
As she saw the drunkard her pale cheeks
became crimson. She rushed to him, took
him by the arm and guided him, swearing
and gestlculating. to the stairway, with an
expression on her face that I shall never
forget.
Talk about your temperance lectures!

blanket were six of "speckle's" eggs.
She had laid them there from time to time,
and as the buggy had not been used very
morning she had not been disturbed in
her hatehing-out operations until the man
from the store flung his bundle in upon
her. Even the hitching up OF the buggy
yesterday morning did not drive "speckle"
away from her embryo offspring, and only
for the bundle the ranchwoman might
have driven back home without knowing
that she had hen for companion trav-

He Finds Customer Who Is Too Much

He Finds Customer Who Is Too Much
for Him.
The inquisitive clerk is everywhere and
every body has had an experience with him,
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. One of
the genus was "called down" in remark
ably funny manner in west end drug
store this week. A tall, soIemn-looking
man came in and asked for half dozen
six-ounce hotties.
"Bottles?" asked the clerk.
Eyes, bottles" responded the man.
with or without corks?' asked he.
"With corks," was the response.
"Want 'em empty?'
Certainly"
"And new?'
''Do you suppose 1 want bottles you've
been keeping strychnine in2"
The clerk said such an idea never entered
his mind, and then asked:
What do you want them for2"
''To break" responded the impatient
customer, promptly.
The customer beckoned him to lean over
the counter, and caught hold of the lapel
OF the clerks coat and whispered:
81 wouldn't want the neighbors to get
onto it, but | rather like to hear 'em crack.
Just within of mine. It's better than
breaking windows, and gives me just as
much pleasure, but my supply has given
out and want a few TO hold me over until
the next carload arrives"
The clerk looked at the customer doubt
fully.
''Oh, WE'LL of course, it's nothing to me-"
he said.
Then what made you ask about t?''
The clerk made no reply, but got the
bottles. As he was making the change,
however, the spirit moved him to ask:
"What do you do with the corks?''
"Chew em," was the reply. "It's good
for the digestion. Try it some time"
Then the customer walked out and the
clerk shook his head and tapped his fore

In 1862 English ladies and gentlemen
wore the points of their shoes yard long.
and fastened to the garter with golden
chains, ornamented with bells. The custom
was prohibited under pain of being cursed
by the clergy, but, as it showed no signs of
abating, a fine of 20 shillings was assessed
for every public appearance in such shoes.
