Representative Littlefield tells CT a
bad quarter of an hour" he recently
experienced in New York. He was on
his way home from Washington, ac
companied by his wife. They stopped
over in New York for a few hours,
and, having completed their shopping:
flev stepped into restaurant for
light lunch before going to their tra:a
When they had finished, and the wait
er had presented check for sixty
cents, Mr.. Littleield felt for his
pocketbook. It was gone, and not
cent did either Of them have. He
tried to telephone to friends whose
places Of business were in that section
of the city, but it was public holiday
and none of them we're in. He told
the cashier his situation, explained
who he was and how he came to be
there without money. The cashier
was glad to see him, etc. But that
made no difference-he would not
charge any more on that account; the
lunches were sixty cents, and hurry
up, please. Mr.. Littlefeld offered to
leave his watch as surety, but the
cashier had no use for it and wanted
the change. Finally, leaving Mrs. Lit
tlefield as security during his temper
ary absence, he went out and found
a pawnbroker and spouted his val.
liable gold watch for SO and cleared
up the difficulty. Fortunately the rail-
road tickets were safe and they got
home without further adventure. La
ter on, Mr.. Littlefeld received his
pocketbook and its contents intact, it
having been found by New Jersey
man in the car, and returned to the
address found with it.-Lewison (Me.)

the law provides for salaries for coun-

CRAZY MAN THRILLS CROWD.
Climbs to Toplof Flag Pole and Does
Hazardous Stunts,

San lose. Cav Feb. 15.-The resi-
dents of Gilroy We're treated the other
day to an athletic feat more hazardous
and thrilling than any even seen at a
fair or circus The performer was
John Silvera a young man who resides
near the town. and who suddenly be-
came demented.
Before anyone could restrain him,
Silyera with maniac's cry, climbed
up the city flag staff and perched at
the topmost point some 135 feet above
the ground From his lofty perch Sill
vera defied the crowd which gathered
below and refused to come down.
AT times he amused himself, by
spinning the great weather vane which
surmounts the flag pole. alternating
this pastime with feats of hazardous
balancing which fairly made the blood
of the spectators run cold in anticipa-
ton of a tragedy. He hung by his legs
from the crosstree. and proceeded TO
disrobe to the waist, throwing his gar
menis TO the ground as he removed
them.
When Silvera's crazy whim had
passed he slid down the flag pole head
foremost. and was at once taken into
custody by Deputy Sheriff White. who
had been patiently awaiting his de-
scent He was brought to this city
and placed in the insane cell at the
city Jail to await examination as to ms
sanity.

GATES BULLS WHEAT
Chicago Spectator Is After the

The Bears are Badly Scared and There

Chicago, Feb. 15.-John w. Gates is
out for blood-the blood of large
number of bears in the Chicago wheat
pit. Thus much became so plain
within twenty -four hours after he
reached the city Monday that 1t re-
quired the sale of u number of millions
premature touching off the fireworks.
Mr. Gates left for the Pacific coast
over the Illinois Central last night,
planning to stop Ell route at the Hot
Springs in Arkansas. and to remain
until April l. Before going he said
that present prices of wheat would
look very cheap within the next sixty
days AS this has been his boast for
some time, and as he has plan of
making good his boasts-when it suits
his purposes to do so-there was a
panicky feeling among the shorts IN
wheat.
In the large number of converse :
lions held by Mr.. Gates with friends
and acquaintance who called at his
offices in the Rookery and the Railway
Exchange Building and at the Chicago
Club, where he spent most OF the
Monday holiday. great deal leaked
out to give basis for the fears of the
bears in wheat
Mr. Gates was figuring with his
friends that the western short sellers
| ;.,bt lo oh to 1aliIroI I q 600 0O0
bushels of contract wheat to him by
the end of May next. With such a
basis to figure from it did not take the
speculative experts of the wheat trade
long to figure out that Mr.. Gates
wheat holding, now or in contempla-
ton. must be 25.000,000 bushels at the
very least, thus much being necessary
to insure profit from the deal if the
cash wheat to be paid for, the corpse"
of the deal was 100000 bushels. AS
Mr.. Gates has not recently had the
reputation of doing things by halves
there were those who were willing To
concede Mr.. Gates and his friends a
holding of perhaps 3OOOO.000 to 40
100000 bushels.
Even this large total would look
small in a financial way when conf
pared with the Louisville and Nash
willie deal, in which Gates and his
friends forced j. Pierpont Morgan to
pay tremendous price for a controll-
ing interest in the road, meanwhile
paying Mr. Gates firm, then Harris

missions for the handling of the deal

Schneider.
Schneider is 81 years of age, and is
a son of John G.. Schneider. At his

of II years. Then he was scarcely 80
inches in height Today his height is
feet "a inches, and he weighs only
65 pounds.
His arents are both strong and
hearty persons. and are unable to ac-
count for their sons slow growth
Michael is in the grammar grade at
school and lie stands we'll in his class.
His school mates range in age from
~ to is years He is the smallest boy
IN the room.
AT the primary election held here a
short time ago Schneiders father
brought him to the polls and voted him
on age. The election officers locked
at him in establishment. and said:
NO boys can vote here
Mr.. Schneider swore to his sons age
and he was allowed to cast his ballot.
The father was obliged to lift his son
up to the booth to mark his tick

Young Schneider is in the enjoyment
of the best of health, and after school
