VETERANS TRAVEL CRAZE
Soldier Would Go as Far as Half His
Pension Allowed

II used to know an old soldier. prisoner,
who was just crazy to travel about, and
when he got his quarterly pension allow
ance, sos. he would divide 1t in halves, put
$4S in one pocket and $4S in the other Then
he'd travel till he'd spent all the money
in one pocket. When that was gone he'd
head for home and pay the bills out Of the
other pocket. l suppose he calculated that
the last $4S ought to bring him back from
any place the first SiS would take him to.
He owned farm, but his son lived on IL
and worked it for him. 1t didn't cost him
anything to live between times, and as soon
as he'd get his pension money off he'd go.
The old man wouldn't have missed those
trips for anything. marquette, Mich,

They Wouldn't Let Woman Be Boss

Because a woman has been employed as
a timekeeper there was a strike In r. G.
Solomon's foundry in Newark Sunday. The
entire glazing department Of twenty-four
men went out The woman is Miss Garrity
who came from Philadelphia four weeks
ago. John Allen, one of the strikers, was
turned over to the police on the ground
that he had interfered with and threatened
men who were about to seek work in the
factory. He denied the charge, and Judge
Lambert warned him and let him go.
The men say that. although there is a
male foreman in their department, Miss
Garrity exceeded her authority, and or
dered the men around as though she were
the foreman. The factory manager says
the strikers will not be taken back, and
that their places are being filled.-New

viciously. But the blue was alert, and,
dodging the blow. 1t delivered counter
peck which knocked the white pigeons eye
out. The white pigeon shook himself and
hoped a few steps away. The blue still
stood on guard, waiting to see II there
would be a renewal of hostilities, but the
fight had been taken out of his adversary,
and. after a pause of several seconds, the
blue pigeon flew back to his post on the
cornice. The white slowly flew around the
hall and was lost to sight. Mr.. 0rout and
his secretary turned back to the contem-
plation of their cobweb- filled office and the
crowd melted away.-New York Times.

Here is a little volume which we want
to say at the outset is fine bit of book
making, rejecting very great credit upon
Its publishers. In all ways its makeup is
excellent, and is proof that a fine book can
be made in our own city.
We are not told anything about the
authorship of the volume. 1t is anonymous
ly sent out, and We may never know
whether 1t be the wit of one and thought of
many or otherwise. 1t would appear more
probable however that several hands have
wrought at it, although with a common
purpose, and as the representatives of a
common cult. That there is variety is
plain and Intentional, as is limited in the
preface:

the essays vary in style: some Of them

A Big Crowd Watches Blue Pigeon
Thrash a White One

Two warlike pigeons engaged in fero-
cious combat yesterday in front of the
Brooklyn Borough hall. One was white
and the other was blue. While the fight
lasted it was severe, and a crowd of about
500 persons assembled to watch the con-
test. Bets were freely offered and taken,
and for a while the issue was in doubt.
Borough President Grout and Private Sec
retary Stevenson came to their windows
and suspended their official duties long
enough to watch the fight.

Austin, Texas, July 1.-The construc-

be erected and equipped for work in
biology and botany, with museums,
herbaria and aquaria, and also that Il
separate building be erected for the
schools of physics and engineering,
with suitable work shops, machinery
and laboratories. He hopes that these
schools may develop into large and

wherein the youth of Texas may be
trained in all branches of engineering.
