BY THE POLICE
Opening of Unused Chimney
Flue at Station Reveals
a Surprise.
ACCUMULATION OF 20 YEARS
Officers Make an Equal Division and
Everybody is
SoOted.

The police put mp a stove yester.
day afternoon. The day men started
the job and the night men finished
it. The stove is now up and fire is
burning i'm it.
For years the back office at the
station has been cold place i'm win
ter and gas and oil stoves and foot
warmers have brought only partial
relief. The cold snap the other day
| set Chief Darnell TO looking and
thinking. He soon spied fiue can

cogitation he evolved the idea of put
ting up a stove. little $3.50 sheet

stage of the game he did not figure

the operation of putting il up.

Yesterday afternoon the stove ar
rived and with il a man to ofliciate
at the installation. All the members
of the force, even to Fitz. the big
dog, gathered about as interested
spectators. 1t was considered quite
an event i'm the tranquil atmosphere
proved.
Everything was adjusted and the
flue cap removed to insert the pipe
and here the fun commenced. When
the small piece of tin was displaced
the atmosphere grew dark. SCOT
Spurted into the room like oil from
Il Spindle Top gusher and about as
eNhauStless in quantity. Everybody
dove for the door. but the SCOT was
there first. 1t followed out into the
next room and whirled and eddied in
to every nook and corner. The base
boards i'm the back office disappeared
from view and still il came. When
ut last the deluge stopped the stove
and desk were half buried, the airy
PARTICLES of inky hue were ankle deep
i'm the adjoining rooms. and Rock Is

where 1t Came From.
After matters had settled down Il
bit a little figuring as to where it all
came from was INDUCED in and the
officers found that the only other
with the chimney was on
the third floor where big coal stove
used as heating a lodge room had !
been pouring out its smoke and SCOT !
for the past twenty years or more. |
The SCOT had collected in that time
till it evidently had entirely filed the |
twenty feet of chimney below the |
opening of the pipe.
When the officers undertook to /
clean out they found shoveling SCOT |
very much like shoveling feathers. |
When il was put into bucket il |
ioated out and when it was carried |
put into the yard it came back.
When at length. by actual count, 30
.oal bucketsful of SCOT had been
carried out and, ii is estimated, as
much more had been tramped into
he floor and rubbed on the walls and
furniture, the tired officers gave up
he job and declared the scrub wo-
nan would have to take the next
urn.

Miss Christina Kean Roosevelt. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Emlen Roosevelt and

An amusing incident in which Sena-
tor Dietrich Of Nebraska and Senator
Frye of Maine figured lightened the
monotony of numerous conferences and
caused the president and others to roar
with laughter. The Maine statesman
presented himself at the latticed door
to the presidents reception room wear
ing black derby hat which was
tauntily cooked to one side. In his
hand he had capacious umbrella.
These were deposited in the reception
room while he talked with Mr.. Roose-

Mr.. Frye fastened away from the
White House, oblivious of his umbrel-

jauntily on his silvery top he wore
black derby that rested we'll down over
his ears.
Later Senator Dietrich emerged with
much concern. The girth Of his head
is in keeping with his broad chest and
mighty shoulders, but his black derby
was nowhere to be found. White
House employees scurried hither and
thither in the search. but to no avail.
Finally a fiat white hat, owned by one
of the doorkeepers, was provided. 1t
was so small that it barely covered the
top of the senator's head.

Hundreds Of feet above the traffic
crowded waters Of the East river,
clinging to the cables Of the big bridge,
so far above the people on the footpath
that they look like flies caught In an
enormous spider web, says New York
correspondent. half hundred men are
busy plying paint brushes on the
weather worn Strands Of wire that sup
port the weight of thousands of human
beings going to and from their work.
The recent discovery that the Brooklyn
bridge was going to pieces in places
emphasized the necessity Of long de-
layed action. No steeple jack ever
climbed to heights as dizzy as those oc-
cupied by the fearless painters, but
they are used to such work and seldom
think Of the danger attached to 1t. The
painters are objects Of interest to peo-
pie in the skyscrapers and to the thou
sands who daily cross the bridge.

THE POULTRY YARD.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health, growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
Even when the fowls have an unlim-
tied range it is a good plan to feed
them ev' ~ evening.
One of the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
and free from vermin.
Peafowls ale handsome and subsist
with the least care of any kind Of
fowls. They are prolific layers and a
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part Of an
egg-white, yolk and shell. Therefore
1t should be kept constantly before lay
ing hens in the granulated form.
One Of the best ways of removing lice
from fowls is to make them do it them
selves by having lot Of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
eyer they feel like it.
The comb is always an index to the
condition of the bird. When the comb
is white or very pale or very black.
something is wrong. A healthy fowl
shows a bright scarlet color in the
comb.

FOR woMEN's TROUBLES TOO.

New Baden, ILL.,, August 12th:-Mrs.
Anton Griesbaum, Jr., has been very
i'll. Female weakness had run her
down so low that she could not do her
housework. She had tried many things,
but got no relief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills, new remedy,
which is better known here as a cure
for Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy,
and Rheumatis worked like a charm
in Mrs. Griesbaum's case. She used
three boxes and is now a new woman,
able to do her work as well as ever
she was. Her general health is much
improved, and she has not a single
symptom of Female Trouble left.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are making
wonderful reputation for themselves
in this part of the state.
