tPlEDY' WANDERED
SHE PERAMBULATED ON THE
STREETS AND LANDED IN
CITY POUND.
She Is Owned by Chief Of Police
Stewart, and the Joke Is Now
on the Chief.

Chief A. J. Stewart of the city po-
lice department has been busy treat
ing the boys during the past twenty
four hours. Chief Stewart does it
gracefully and good-na turedly, for he
realizes that the treats are his.
During the past month or SO the po-
lice department has been exceptional
" industrious in executing the pro-
visions of the city stock law. The
chief has determined to clear the
streets of the nuisance of loose stock.
and in doing so he has perhaps in

zens: but that all goes in line with an
officers duty. and he has not permit

ceeded to do his duty as laid down by
the statutes.
Last Thursday morning the chief

chief hasn't but one COW and when
she goes astray it creates some con-

chiefs peace of mind and the equanim-
ity of his home life was jeopardized
bv the rather mysterious disappear
ance of his faithful old animal. HE
looked everywhere about the place,
but couldn't find head nor tail. AS
Mr.. Stewart lives cut in the suburbs
of the city. he very naturally came TO
the conclusion that she had wandered
off into the woods outside the city
limits somewhere. and would probably
come home in time for supper. But
she didn't come. and the chief reck-
oned without taking into considera-
ton the Industrious officers he had ap-
pointed to look after just such strays.
In fact, the chief never suspected that
his officers were SO industrious as
they proved to be on this occasion,
for it seems that they extended their
field of operations even as far out as
his home, and when he came down
town behind the old ex-patrol horse
Thursday afternoon he was some
what chagrined to discover his COW
peeping over the fence of the city
pound and casting longing eyes to-
ward him. He saw he was up against
II and asked Police Judge Toney to
make out a warrant for his arrest tor

QUARANTINE EFFECTS
POLICE COURT

The quarantine is not only having
its effects upon the business interests
OF the city, but also upon the police
court docket. Whether the people are
being scared into being good by the
yellow fever at New Orleans or
whether the business stringency re-
sulting from the quarantine restric-
tions causes them to withhold the u.s.
ual expenditure for booze, is a point
in dispute; but certain it is that the
police court docket will show the
lightest volume of business in many
a month unless things change very
much during the remainder of the
month. There was not a single case
reported Friday Notwithstanding
so seldom as to be considered a nov
city in police circles.

Weiqht of a Dinner.

1t has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after meal, and they have
even gone the length Of explaining
this by the amount of gas that is de-
veloped from the food. Average OBJ
servations, however, show that we lose
3 pounds and ounces between night
and morning; that we gain 1 pound II
ounces by breakfast; that we again
lose about IA ounces before lunch;
that lunch puts on an average of !
pound; that we again lose during the
afternoon an average of 10 ounces, but
that an ordinary dinner to healthy
persons adds 2 pounds ounces to
their weight.

The New Millinery.

The new millinery is always most
attractive part of the toilette for the
coming season. We have become &C.
customed to "airy, fairy" hats all
through the winter. often showing
the saving touch of fur, it is true, but
positively summary for all that, keep.
ing pace with the topsy-turvy vogue
of lingerie waists worn all through
this cold term. The changes are,
therefore, mostly in the shapes and
in the use of straw in place of felt
in hats for general wear. Although
some of the winter shapes are simply
repeated in spring and summer hats,
there are many pleasing new ideas
and revivals of picturesque old styles.
An illustration of this is the dainty
little dress hat of white crinoline with
its long plume, giving an impression
of the Henry ii style, with twentieth
century art and chic added.

Sprinq Hats.

The typical spring hat has a f1ex-
ible brim which is turned up sharply
in the back, perhaps in broad and
simple fold, quite as likely in series
of irregular and frantic pinchings.
This doubled-up hat is tilted down
over the face by means of an extreme
ly wide bandeau, the resulting atti-
tude contributing to the general effect
of inebriatiOn.
The typical crown is of at least me-
dunn height, ranging to considerable
altitude, and as fashion licenses the
heaping of garden crop of miscella-
neous flowers upon and around this
forward-tipping tower, there is little
help to be had from this feature in
the maintenance of sanity.

they could be induced to partake OF

may be that the bird does possess
