Skeleton in the PulDit.

Madison Ind.-When the classes at
Hanover college assembled in chapel
the other morning they were electrified
to find skeleton in the pulpit. the re-
suit of a students prank. which officials
of the college are trying to hush up.
The affair grew out of the inad1ertent
mention in the college catalogue of the
name of DR.. Daniel NJ. Fisher. among
the list of deceased presidents, Stu
dents wrote jokes on the walls about
this, whereupon DR.. Fisher announced
in chapel that the next decorators
would find his ghost waiting for them.
This declaration was followed by the
presence of the skeleton in DR.. Fishers
place. Placards covering the skeleton
read: DIR. Fisher-risen from the

40 MARYS; 40 LITTLE LAMBS
Forty Sheep Mothers Are Killed by
Dogs and Young Women
|. Adopt the Pets.

Winsted, Conn.-There are 40 Marys
with their little lambs near this town.
The lambs are the bereaved Off
spring of 40 fair ewes belonging to
the flock owned by B. B. Moore that
were attacked and killed in. an on
slaught of rayenous dogs.
The Marys are the debutantes and
bellies of Winsted who have adopted
these unusual pets with as much avid
ity as if they were Chiffon pups, in
stead of lambs of the ordinary spring
variety. They were inspirited no doubt
by the noble spirit of life-saying:
The woolly orphans were left after
the blody massacre in peculiarly per-
ilous situation. Their trouble was that,
being still dependent for sustenance
upon lacteal diet, they were robbed not
only of their motherly love and protec-
ton, but their food supply likewise.
It was the chorus of their piping
treDles, bleating with grief and hunger,
that aroused the sympathy of the pref
eiest society girl in the town. She Of
fered to save one lambs life, and got
80 warm-hearted young women to do
the same. The lambs were taken
home in autos and runabouts, while
40 orders were dispatched to the
apothecary for large-sized nursing
bottles.

ent.
New York has peculiar difficulties in
depressing automobile speed madness.
AS the port of entry for most of the ex-
pensive autos, it has the honor of being
the trial ground for purchasers of ex-
pensive foreign machines from all over
the country. Trying them means al
ways the ons thing: Evading the police
and hitting III. the pace to 40 or so miles
an hour on some lonely road in the out
skirts Of the city. Racing autos which
are so geared that they cannot be run
steadily at less than 80 miles an hour
are occasionally brought in to town,
though not for regular use here. The
only way a chauffeur can pretend to
obey the law is to turn on his power I'M
til the machine is started, then turn it
off for half a block. and repeat the proc
ess, progressing by series of jerks.
Most of the high speed chauffeurs are
foreigners, who do not understand Eng
fish. They are uniformly charged by
their employers to disregard the orders
of the police. Not long ago the chauf
feur of a Vanderbilt was arrested for
speeding. He was frantic. Let me
