Times are very quiet at the post
office when some one of the employees
is not up against joke. and just at
present the force have landed on q
brand new victim. The thing that they
currence. and while he is forced to ad-
nit the truth of it, he is at the same
time puzZling his brains to find out
how the gang got onto the details.
The incident happened, Sunday fore
noon. and Monday morning. when the
man came to work, the gang were
ready to string him on it. 1t seems
that he was out to dinner. Sunday, and
in the forenoon the man whose guest
lie was. was going to kill some fowl.
The man was going at the work in the
old way. by decapitatfng the fowl, but
the visitor knew a better way. an.
volunteered to show the other man how
to do it. According|y. big rooster
was caught. and the syisitor. taking
penkEife, essayetl to- c1t an artery in
the roof of the roost4f' rs mouth. The
cut was made all right, but just then
the men were called III to dinner, and
after putting the bird. down on the
ground. they repaieed to. the house.
Naturally. when they returned to tn"
spot where they left Ahe rooster, they
expected to find his Meless body, but
there was nothing of the kind. He
was not there. and it was only after
hunt that they did find him. He was
found with TIE other fowl. apparently
none the worse for the treatment he
had received, and led the men merry
chase around the farm before he was
captured. 1t will be long time be-
fore the victim of the joke gives anoth-
or 1emonstr alton in poultry killing.

BISHOP WHITAKER
rs YEARS OLD.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-The
Right Rev. OH William Whitaker,
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Pennsylvania, was 75 years
old today, and the anniversary was
remembered by scores Of his friends.
both in and out of the church, who
sent him notes and cards of con-
graduation.
Bishop Whitaker is a native Of
Massachusetts. having been born in
Salem on May 10, 1880. He was edu-
Gated at Middleburg college and the
General Theological seminary in New
York, graduating from the latter in
1868. Six years later he was elected
missionary bishop of Nevada, and
filed that position until 1885, when
he was chosen bishop coadjutor of
Pennsylvania to assist Bishop Stew
ems, who by reason or age and in
frmities was unable to carry on the
work of such an important diocese.
In 1887, when Bishop Stevens died.
Bishop Whitaker succeeded him.

little girl and himself became
stronger every day. On his leaving
Fort Duncan to engage in Indian war
fare in northern California he carried
with him a tiny cross given him by
his little friend as a memento.
Years went by and he lost sight
of Ruddick and his family. Late in
the year 1875, long after Sheridan
had distinguished himself and won
the nations applause, he met Miss
Ruddick in Chicago. The little friend
had grown into beautiful womanhood.
Her heart was still loyal and not long
after the meeting General Sheridan
and Miss Ruddick were married.
In the meantime her old adobe
home and birthplace in Albuquerque
had gone to ruin. 1t had been con-
verted into a saloon and became the
resort and hiding place of every kind
of outlaw. Crime after crime was
committed under it's roof and recently
the police determined to close it up.
After raiding many of it's occupants.
they barred the door and windows so
that now the criminal class can no
longer find shelter there.

length on the outlook of the cotton
industry and the various problems
confronting the manufacturers. The
same subjects were treated this after

AS Sheridan and his friend ap-
preached the scene of the festivities
they were recognized by two Conan
ches who were wanted at Fort Sheri-
dan for the murder of several white
settlers.
Thinking that their hiding place
had become known and that they were
about to be arrested, the Indians
skulked to the rear of the house and
held council. Their movements eX-
cited the curiosity and suspicious of
Captain Ruddck's little daughter,
who was then a tiny miss, and she
ran to Lieutenant Sheridan, of whom
she was very fond, and told him Of
what she had seen. She was none

ADOBE HOUSE WHERE SHERIDAN
met FUTURE BRIDE CLOSED TO
OUTLAW GANG THAT INFESTED IT


ALBUQUERQUE N. M, May TO-
The recent raiding and closing up of
a notorious resort for murderers and
thieves in Albuquerque revives an in
teresting romance connected with the
marriage of General Phillip Sheridan.
When Sheridan graduated from
West Point he was appointed lieuten-
ant in a company stationed at Fort
Duncan, q post on the dividing line
between Texas and Mexico.
The garrison was frequently at
tackled by bands of Comanche In
dams, who were carrying on a reign
of terror in that region. On being
repulsed and pursued, they would
generally succeed in crossing the Rio
Grande before they could be over
taken, the international line giving
them refuge from the vengeance of
the American soldiers.
One day Sheridan and a companion
obtained leave to attend a ball given
in Albuquerque at the home of Cap
tain Ruddck, whose wife and daugh-
ter were the only American women in
the town, the feminine gender there
