JACK GIBSON HURT
Thrown From Horse and His Collar
 Bone Broken.

Jack Gibson was very severely, all though probably not dangerously in- jured late yesterday afternoon by go- ing down in D mixup while roping q horse in the Norton pasture e mile east of the Brill addition. He was rendered unconscious for 9 time, but recovered sufficiently to ride home and place himself in proper surroundings for the reception of his family physician.
 Mr. Gibson and Phil Wharton were intending to leave this morning for q trip to Gibson's ranch on New river and to that end they went to rhe pas ture to catch a driving team. They were accompanied by Wayne Davis and AIr. Benton. the Nveryman. When the unfortunate incident happened the last two gentlemen named were near est to MT. Gibson, Phil Wharton being at the other end of the pasture. Jack got his rope on horse he wanted and was himself mounted on an animal known as Craps" Craps is something of race horse and when he gets start ed he is hard to stop After the driving thorse was roped. Craps kept up his speed till he ran into a hign wire fence

income is about $6,000 a year Is cited by the countess Besides the rent of ten rooms. about S750: servants wages and Christmas fees, St70; provision TOT food and wine, $72O, and for fuel and light S110. this budget includes items which make it an interesting study. It pro- vidcs in advance for ten afternoon re- captions, called ''coffees." which are to cost $75. and for four evening parties, "suppers." at an expense of $150. The wife may have four new party dresses and two house dresses. the elder daugh- ter three party dresses and two house dresses, the younger daughter one new gown, all to cost S255. For a summer tour with three children $500 Is allow ed. Toward the daughters dover $500 must be put aside. For concerts, op- eras, club dues, etc. there is $125. Washing-twelve times a year-may cost $75, and should be worth it.
 There are items for insurance. va rious charitable and church funds and strange to American id~as-rensi0ns for a sister, a decrepit former tutor and an old servant. A son who is a lieu tenant must have $500 a year for spend ing money, while a younger sen gets E30 pocket money and $112.50 for tu- ition. Pir money for wife and daugh- ters amounts to $129. With cigars. doctors and dentists bills and sundry expenses allowed for, the budget-maker preceives a surplus of something like s1OO fer the year.
 Against the German housewife's dis advantage, according to the American view. in being for the sake of careful management her own head servant, the countess urges the busy frau's freedom from trouble with "the ser want problem This is an argument that counts. But it is suspected that most American wives would count it a trifle arduous to live on a penny by penny schedule, even for the certainty of keeping the same cook two success sive years-at S54 per year.-Nev York World.

THE FRAU's HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
A More Exact and Specific Listing Than the Average American Desires.

A curious contribution to the litera- ture of household economy is made through the current number of Good Housekeeping in an article by the Countess Aida von Krockow. House keeping Among German Gentry is the title of the paper. ''I believe" says the countess, "that have never known a family, except among the working classes, in which a fixed sum was not allowed for housekeeping expenses; and have known no mistress of such q family who has failed to restrict ex- penses within her allowance"
 An explanation of the exactness in balances lies undoubtedly in the mi- nuteness Of expense detail provided fer In the family budget. The actual item ization for years housekeeping set down by a Berlin gentleman whose

SparTow's First Call.
Inc English sparrow was first introduc-
Ell into the United States by n res;don.
OF Brooklyn. who brought over eight
pairs from Europe in the fall of 1870
and liberated them the following spr,nr.
These did not thrive and in IS,2 a SEC
ond Importation was made. In 1854 and
1858 the sparrow was introduced at Port
land Me, and in the latter year at
Peacedale' r. J.. and few birds escan-
Cd at Boston, Mass. During the next dec
ade 1t was imported direct from Europe
into the eight other cities. and in one
case thousand birds were sent to Phil
adelphia in a single lot; birds were also
distributed from the colonies already
started IN this country.
BY 1870 It had become established as
far South as Columbia, s. C.. Louis
vile. KY, and Galveston. Texas; as far
West as st. Louis, Mo-. and Davenport.
Iowa. and as far North as Montreal.

States. the District of Columbia. and
two provinces of Canada.
Between 1870 and 1850 It was estimated
that its range had been extended by
nearly 1900 square miles. and isolated
colonies were established at San Fran
cisco 0s71-72). and Salt Lake City, Utah

spread over more than 10000 square
