articles distributed this year in private
teams and the police officers who are
detailed for the work will go In citizens
clothes SO that there will be no signs OF
charity with the distribution. In former
years it has been customary to have the
articles taken around in the police team,
but two years ago Deputy Atkinson de-
cided to hire private teams, and the re-
suits have been better
The articles will be distributed by the
police department as far as Is known
and If the Associated Charities or any
other charitable organization know of
persons who are in need of assistance the
police win look after them, they say.
Last year there was some trouble about
the matter, 6but it is proposed to have it
go off this year without a hitch If posi-

PARKER'S PICKLE.
Over 5000 Counter
felt Labels Found
in His Shop.
HATTERS' AGENT SEIZED THEM.
Shop Closed and Under
Ban Of Hatters'
Union.

Joseph A. Parker, of the firm of j. A.
Parker & Co., manufacturing hattersr
80 Exchange street, closed his shop
yesterday and was placed under the
ban Of the United Hatters of North
America, through its representative,
William c. Hennelly of Boston.
Mr. Hennelly has been visiting local
dealers, and through the retail trade
he discovered that counterfeit labels
were swarming the local market. Yes
terday morning Mr.. Parker was tipped
off regarding the discovery of the rep
resentative Of the United Hatters OF
North America, and the manufactures
fastened to adjust matters to the salts
faction of the union men.
A conference was arranged to take
place at 10 o'clock in Labor head
quarters, GA Southbridge street. ]. D.
Pierce, president Of the local Central
Labor union, was to act as arbitrator.
Mr.. Parker reached the headquarters
Of local labor unions about five min
utes before scheduled time. They've
got me" They've got me" he NUT
tered, as he paced up and down the
hall His nervousness was so deep
rooted that he could not wait five min
utes, and when Messrs. Pierce and
Hennelly arrived Mr.. Parker had dis
appeared.
A visit to the Parker hat manufac-
tory, 80 Exchange street, followed.
Here Mr.. Parker admitted his guilt
and professed a desire to run a strictly
union shop. He claimed that his two
brothers, John P. Parker and Nelson
Parker, were the only employees of the
establishment, but Mr.. Hennelly insist
ed that at least four hustling hatters
would be necessary to fill the orders
which have been pouring into the
Parker company.
More than 5000 counterfeit labels were
discovered in the office Of the company,
and Mr.. Hennelly seized them. Mr.
Parker was sharply arraigned and
questioned. He admitted knowledge OF
the fact that the labels were not gen
uine, and that he had been unlawfully
conducting his business since he began
stamping non-union made hats with the
union label. Mr.. Parker swore that
he purchased the labels of a Hebrew
pedler; he claimed to have bought S4i
worth, and the supply has been suffi-
cient for the product Of several months
The hat-makers were given day off
and Mr.. Parker appeared willing ano
even anxious to make any concessions
With Mr.. Hennelly, he went to Boston
yesterday afternoon and appeared be-
fore the executive board of the Unior
Hatters. He expressed a wish to have
his shop unionized IF it isn't" sai6
Mr.. Parker, "Ill have to go out OF
business" In conversation with ]. D
Pierce regarding the case, Mr.. HennellJ
was advised to be lenient, and it i:
probable that Mr.. Parker will arrange
for placing genuine labels on his hats
by unionizing his shop.

TOWN TALES.

All sorts Of propositions are advanced
by delinquents, as reason for the nom
payment of tax bills. The city treas
urer and his assistants have listened to
all sorts of hard luck stories but the
argument put up by an individual a
few days ago, would have provoked a
smile from the sphinx providing
sphinx was acquainted with the work
ings of modern tax laws.
The individual owed a tax bill of sew
eral years standing, which he &C
knowledged with exception of one year
when he claimed to have been out of
the city and to have paid his bill in
another city. The tax collector assumed
his most winning smile, and remarked
in a gentle tone that he presumed the
individual had receipt to show for
the year in question. The delinquent
replied that he had lost the receipt, but
remembered paying the bill distinctly.
He was at work in New York state
during the year in question.
1t was then that the mild hammered
collector was forced to turn away to
hide a smile. 1t is a well known fact
that no poll taxes are assessed in New
York, hence the lack of diplomacy on
the part of the individual in question.
Several months ago an enterprisinS
representative of one of the Worcester
dailies propounded a problem in math-
ematics whereby he attempted to set
himself up as a census enumerator by
figuring out the population of Worces-
ter at upward of $4,000 souls. The
problem based on the assessors re-
turns of the number of polls multiplied
and divided, added and subtracted
from according to the enumerator's
own special system gave the above re-
suit. The figures were given credence
by few people who happened to be
possessed with an elastic Imagination,
but when the result of the annual
water census was made known and
the statistician was found to have
overshot the mark about S0O0 it was
the signal for round of merry ha has
which have not subsidized up to date.

Alvin B. Fisher Claims Second Honors
as His Hunter.

Alvin B Fisher of West Rutland is
claimant for second honors in the score of
the Worcester Fur Company. He sent
notice yesterday to the liver johnson
sporting goods house, where the roll of
honor is kept, that he killed three foxes
this week, which makes his total for the
season four. He is now tied with j. II.
Paul Wheeler, also of Rutland, holding
first position with five pelts. The total
score is now A., which is the highest 1t
has been this season.
Had the pelts of the Estabroooks of
Grafton been allowed to remain on the
board the half century mark would have
been reached The score, of the company
is a considerable number below what 1t
was last season at this time.

Put one quart of boiling water, one
teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoon
full of vinegar in frying pan. Pace
in the pan as many muffin rings as
there are eggs to be dropped and SET
the pan where the water will just Dub

fully and drop it into ring II an
egg seems not exactly fresh, or II the
voll breaks. do not use 1t. COOK untli
the whites of the eggs are firmly set
then gently pour off the water, remove
the rings and lift the eggs with cake

Instinct md Death.

During my II years Of hermit life
have run across many incidents that
prove that wild animals comprehend
thu meaning of death. Two years ago
I found the nest of "wild' domestic
cat in an old stone wall. There were
three live kittens and one dead one
left the dead aittcn as an experiment.
Whenever had found nest before
tnls n visit a few hours later would
End the nest deserted. the kittens re-
moved to some secret spot. When
again visited the nest III questloh II

If that cat had no conception OF ueath

beyond my reach, and for the same
reason that caused her to remove tne

Only nm Earthquake.

During his lecture tour In 1913 Il.
Marion Crawford. the novelist, had his
first experience with an American
earthquake. 1t was In San Francisco,
and the shock was one Of the greatest
known on the slope for years. Mr..
Crawford was lunching at the hotel
with his lecture manager when sud
denly the building began to tremble
with the sickcning motion which is Pc
culiar to earthquakes. Then the Ia
bles shook and dishes fell gathering to
the floor.
In an instant there was panic. Men
and women rushed from the room.
Some religiously inclined guest began
to pray. and several women tainted.
The manager rose and staggered to-
ward the door, but Mr.. Crawford
caught hun and pulled him back Into
his chair.
"What is it?' gasped the manager.
"Nothing," answered the novelist
reaching for another slice of bread.
"But the building is collapsing."
"Nonsense It's over now"
"But what is it?"
