SwINDLER TURNS DETECTIVE.
Got $4,000 from an Insurance Conn
pnny, Escaped Arrest, and
Spent the Money.

After being chased about the world
for six years Fred l.. Titus, wanted for
swindling an insurance company of
Toronto, Canada, out of $4,000, has
been captured at Phoenix, Ariz., by
Detective Jack Pagan, of Chicago. At
the time of the swindle Pagan was de-
tailed to hunt down the criminal. He
traced Titus through southwest and
central Mexico, and found him at Lima,
Peru.
Titus had deposited his money in a
bank, and because of defective extradi-
ton treaty he and the money were safe.
Pagan gained the friendship of Titus
and finally induced him to deposit the
money with gambler, saying that the
bank was about to fail. The gambler
knew of Titus crime, and was to turn
the money over to Pagan that it might
be restored to its rightful owners, but
he came TO look upon the transaction as
shady and so returned the money to
Titus, with an explanation of the de-
tective's plans.
Titus disappeared and was seen for
the first time by Pagan in Phoenix the
other day. He had spent the stolen
money and was willing to accompany
the detective to Canada. But the in
surance company is now out of busi-
ness and Titus is not wanted. Titus has
impressed Pagan with an idea that he
will make a good detective, and Pagan
has secured employment for him with
detective agency at Chicago.

A phase of his carelessness is illus
trated by a fact in connection with his
arrest while upon one of his periodical
visits to this city. He was taken into
custody as a vagrant, merely because
he stood upon the street thoughtlessly
gazing at one of the public buildings,
and because he told policeman, in an
swer to his queries, that he had no
home and wasn't going anywhere in
particular.
When searched at the police station
large amount of money was found in
his pockets. Notwithstanding he
was sent to the workhouse, from which
place he was released through the eff
forts of Mr.. GIFT. Still Rogers never
returned to the police department to
ask for his money. and it remains in
the hands of the authorities.
Rogers has concluded to return to
Buffalo and secure possession of the
money and estate which has long been
held for him by his sisters. The inter-
est upon the several thousand dollars
which he had in a savings bank has
caused the amount to his credit in that
institution to double during his abb
sence. His mortgages have been re-
newed by his sisters, and his property
held intact so that he will have COM

months, but no tidings came from
Rogers. His suffers, with whom he
lived, waited anXiously for his return.
Finally they wrote to Philadelphia and
asked the authorities TO find their miss
ing brother.
No man who answered his descrip-
ton could be found; in fact. no trace
of him was discovered, and the family
continued to hope that he was still
alive. Still no message came from him,
although they could see no reason why
he should remain away and still less
why, if alive, he should be silent.
Year after year passed, but from time
to time the family continued the
search for the missing relative. Once,
during the first Inauguration of Pres
ident Cleveland, some Buffalo people
reported to Rogers sisters that they
had seen him in this city. Again hope
was revived and efforts were made to
follow up the trail, but to no purpose.
The police in large cities were asked
time and again to look out for him.
In his wanderings Rogers frequently
came into Washington. In fact, he has
been in almost every town of any con-
siderable size in both Maryland and
Virginia. Upon one of these trips he
went to the office of Mr.. Git, to have
him intercede for him in obtaining a
pension. The attorney, however, had
no knowledge of his clients wander
ings. In this city Rogers also met Capt.
Wooley. of the post office department,
who was the commander of one of the
companies in Rogers regiment during
the war. He, too, was in ignorance of
the fact that the former soldier was a
wanderer from home and that his fam
lily was endeavoring to find him.
After laying his case before the at
torney Rogers again disappeared, and
even his attorney did not know his
whereabouts for long time. One day,
however, he learned that one of the
Buffalo congressman had received
request from Rogers sisters. asking
him to make inquiries concerning their
brother. whom they had once more
learned had been seen.
Mr.. GIFT assured the congressman
that Rogers was still alive, and he made
renewed efforts to find him. For long
time he was unsuccessful. Finally he
again found his clients trail and fol-
lowed il to Danville, Va. There Rogers
was discovered, and induced to come to
Washington to meet his sisters, who
were advised of the success of the at
torney's search, and FASTENED to this
city to see their long lost relative.
Why Rogers never returned to his
home and never wrote to his friends
he himself is unable to explain. He is
q bright but somewhat eccentric old
man, amiable, but aimless. lie tells
many interesting stories of his travels
and experiences with people and af-
fairs For 20 years he has worked in
one place and another. both in cities
and in the country, although large
portion Of the time he has travelled with
circuses. For several seasons he was
with Rarnum & Bailey: then he was
with Adam Forepaugh, and again with
two or three other travelling shows,
and thus wandered up and down the
country. through many states and hun
dreds of towns.

FEEDING IN YARDS.
Birds In Confinement Need Different
Rations from Those Havinga
Free Woodland Run.

Poultry in confinement must be fed
4 differently from those which have a
| free run of grass or woodland, in which
latter they revel, hunting over all the
leaves, and scratching away, around
and under old logs for their fayorite
grubs and bugs. Ii you have not made
it business TO watch your chicks and
hens carefully, you do not realize what
a large amount of grass and green food
they will eat in day when il is at hand
and when they have not been overfed
with grain or scraps. Fowls need
coarse food or something that gives
/ bulk as well as nutriment. Even though
you feed the confined birds the same
| identical food they obtained for them
selves on good run it would not be
| the same, as they cannot select for
\ themselves and they would still lack
! the exercise so necessary for their
health, and, therefore, in confinement
| the same food would be too much for
them. This is why successful raisers
| of poultry in confinement always throw
| the grain to their fowls in straw, thus
compelling them to work for it. Exer-
else is necessary for th,ir health, but
If the food is composed more of nj
trogenous elements and less of the car
bonaceous Especially of the oils and
| fats) there would not be so many dis
eases to confront. There are people
who pamper their chickens, both old
and young. Corn is useful in the poul-
try business, as lard o. bacon is in the
kitchen, but not as regular diet. ii
! you want to fatten poultry or warm
them in cold weather, or when hen
| is poor, and on that account not laying,
and needs richer food, corn is excel
lent, but should not be given almost
exclusively, especially when fowls are
confined. 1t is not difficult to incur a
serious loss, where a good number OF
fowls are kept, by injudicious feeding.
All kinds should have sufficiency OF
food without being overfed. If the birds
are kept in a state of semi-starvation
the hens lay but few eggs, and those
intended for killing become so attenu-
ated that very considerable outlay is
necessary before they can be brought
into proper condition for the table, and
will lack tenderness and delicacy. To
feed too literally is wasteful, and in the
case of laying hens decidedly objections
able; for hen when it becomes very
fat ceases to produce up to the average,
and is subject to various ailments. Full
grown fowls should have just as much
as they will readily eat and no more.
Barley, either in whole or in ground
state, is fairly economical used either
alone or in combination with other
food. Oats and oatmeal are of espe-
cial value for fattening for the table.
Pieces of bread and vegetables of all
kinds may be utilized, and scraps of
meat chopped up rather small are of
great value in feeding fowls shut up
in small yards where they are unable
to obtain worms and insects. Potatoes
boiled and mixed up with a sufficient
quantity of coarse bran, when sealded
to form rather stiff paste, are useful
for helping out the corn.-Farm and
