FINED For CHEWING GUM

Judge Sidener, of the city hall po-
lice court, st. Louis, handed down a
novel decision when he fined Mary
Anderson, a witness in disturbance
case, for contempt of court because
she chewed gum in the court room.
When the Judge took his seat on the
bench the first face to attract his at
tention was that of Miss Anderson
actively engaged in masticating Il
large wad of gum. SummOnsing his
bailiif he sent word to the young
woman to cease chewing gum in the
court room. Miss Anderson blushed,
stammered acquiescence and put the
gum beneath her chair. For 30 min
utes she obeyed, but when the case
in which she was interested came to
trial she could no longer resist. She
was brought before the bar, severely
leciured and fined $40.

ONLY A NEBRASKA ZEpHYR-

Miss Mary KarOus, a pretty Oma-
ha girl, has made new departure in
the way of a parachute jump.
She was returning home from a
picnic, and as the train which car
ried the eXcursionists left Ashland
Miss Karouse attempted to pass into
another coach in order to say good
by to some friends. Just as she
reached the platform small hurri-
cane swept between the cars, and
sweeping beneath her skirts made Il
parachute of them and lifted the
young woman bodily from the plat
form high into the air-higher, even,
than the top of the coaches.
There the Mortified passengers saw
her suspended in the air and tossed
about by the wind as the train dash
ed on. Her friends hastsned through
the coaches to find the conductor in
order to have the train stopped, but
were unable to locate him until they
had neared the next station, three
miles up the road.
There a telegram was sent back to
Ashland and the crew of a freight
train following notified to watch out
for her. She was found in a corn
field, where the wind had. gently
dropped her without injury.

REAL WIFE STOPPED YANKEE
GIRLS FUN
A pretty American art student,
Miss Margaret Wells, aged 20, is in
jail in Paris.
When the commissary of police in
the Latin Quarter, accompanied by
Il woman, went to the Odeon theater
and asked to be admitted to his reg
ular box, the chief usher took him
aside, saying: II warn you that you
will have an unpleasant scene, be
cause your wife already occupies the
box with three friends" "
The commissary of police protested
vehemently: 'This is my wife"
Miss Wells, who occupied the box
was called into the lobby to explain.
She laughingly confessed that she
had noticed that the commissary had
never occupied the box, so she pre-
sented herself frequently saying {:
~ am the wife of the commissary;
show me our box" In that way, she
admitted, she had cheaply made re-
turn for all the theatrical entertain
ments, dinners, socials and courtes-
les rendered by her friends.

them. When the soldiers came UP
TO the supposed farmer they made
insulting remarks.
Corbett heard, alighted and tied
his horse to d tree by the road

soldiers. He overlook them before
they had gone far and asked why
they had used such language to him.
For answer one of the soldiers struck

the soldier down. Then the others

GIANT DUG UPIN OHIO

The skeleton of a prehistoric giant
was eXhumed near Bowling Green,
Ohio, recently by a cOlored laborer,
who, terrified by his find, ran breath
less to the nearest farmhouse and
notified the neighborhood. A large
crowd gathered and viewed the pc
culiar remains and the huge bones
now lie at the home of Charles Witt
ner, where people go constantly to
see them. The skeleton, when plac-
ed together as it was in life, meas
ures nearly 8 feet in length. The
skull measured almost II inches in
diameter and there are two distinct
rows of teeth in the massive jaw.
The bones are well preserved, with
the exception of the pelvic bones
which are considerably decayed. The
bones were at first thought to be the
remains of some giant Indian, bul
the shape of the head is not the shape
of the skull peculiar to the Indians
and the age in which the man lived
is still in doubt.

Henry Peterson, a farmer residing
a short distance north of Veroqua.
Wis, purchased from an agent tin
rooster which was guaranteed to
turn red six hours before each and
every storm, thus giving him plenty
of time to prepare for the blow.
The storms came and went, but the
rooster did not change color and
Peterson started an investigation in
an attempt to recover the $50 check
which he had given for the device.
He found the check at the village
bank. It had accomplished what
the rooster failed to do. 1t had turn
ed to $500.
