According to the boys story. while making
his route in the lower part OF town yester-
dry morning collecting from his subscrib-
ers, his father accosted him on lower Third

The boy became frightened and started TO
run, when his irate father struck him over
the eye. and then went through his pockets.
taking therefrom a small amount of money
which he had collected. Young Miller says
that he was afraid TO call for help for fear
that his father would do him further vio-
lence, so passively submitted to the pater-
nal hold-up, not knowing what to expect
next
About this time the boys father. he says.
started to the corner OF the street as tx
he had heard some one coming and looked
down Chihuahua Taking advantage OF
this opportunity young Miller took to his
heels and ran into the office OF the Gas and

up the police station, but a number of Mex

cupants of the office, refused to allow him

Miller was met on the street by his father
and another man and inveigled up into the
G.. III. yards. Here he was seized and
bound by the two men and thrown into a
box car where he was later discovered and
released. The father was never appre-
hended,. and until yesterday the boy, who
is living with his mother, had never since
laid eyes upon him.
shortly before the kidnapping the boys

mother married again. This fact. il Is sup

Anderson Man Has a Freak FOwl-It
Stays Up Late ~ Nights.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. BE. p. Gites,
OF this city, superintendent of Mapiewood
Cemetery, relates story of chicken that
is quite remarkable. From the start it re-
fused to associate with the other chicks and
was soon self-supporter. The chick stayed
up long after all the others had gone
to roost. and was a great hunter OF
insects and bugs. Recently, Mr.. Giles states,
he was quite surprised one afternoon to
find his freak chick running about the
yard with live mouse in it's bill. Giles
watched the outcome and saw the chick
play with the mouse much after the fashion
of cat. The mouse was finally killed and
picked to pieces. Giles has many times
since then watched the chick kill mice.
One evening last week Giles watched
the chicken and counted ten mice killed
during an hour and a half. The chick is not
afraid OF a rat and goes about the entire
range of the yard and cemetery hunting
field mice, on which is seems TO thrive.

GEORGE AIDES EPIGRAMS.
Points from the Dialogue of His New
Play, ''The County Chairman"
Chicago Special.


George AIDES new comedy, 1.-THE County
Chairman" which is in rehearsal by Mack
lin Arbuckle, has many witty 'epigrams,
of which the following are samples:
Even schoolma ans are human. They
have been known to love.
About the time man goes into politics
his wife starts to keeping boarders.
Some men are so busy regulating the
government they amt got any time to do
chores.
It's wrong to make a man do a woman's
work, such as splitting wood.
When destiny comes along and taps
man on the shoulder and says tag, you're
it, it's no time for poor weak mortals
to interfere
General sherman said .sWar is hell"
That's because he never was in politics
A woman. If she's any good, don't fall in
love with a gutter.
A political worker transacts more bust
ness and takes home less money than any
other kind of laborer.
A campaign is a godsend 1t creates a
healthy demand for kerosene torches, g.
cent cigars, and other paraphernalia of
government by the people.
There are two kinds of cigars-campaign
cigars and those that you smoke.
A woman hates to come right out and
say yes.
He says he's my friend, and yet he wants
to land me in Congress.
A politician can't night with boxing gloves
when the other fellow is using meat axe.
A candidates job is to lay low and follow
instructions.
The man who sits under shade tree
and talks politics always wants TO protect
American labor.
Every candidate believes in high priced
wages for the workingman and low prices
for the consumer.
Every man needs about two women to
look after him.
Ais fair in love, war and politics.
The torch of Liberty ought TO be repre-
scented by scent cigar.
The day after election people don't ask,
Ibid you make clean and dignified con-
teSt2' The only question is, did YOU
VIM"
Claim everything till the last precinct is
in. and then holler fraud.
It's the same in love as In politics; wait
for the last returns.
The worst thing about a man who can
be bought is that he won't stay bought
