HUNTS BURGLAR;

SLEEPING MINISTER HAS RUDE
AWAKENING
Jealous Policeman Mistaken for a
Robber and Parson Hands Over
His Valuables-ln Meantime
Thief Escapes

Here Mr.. Burglar take these; they
are all rye got. Take them, and please
don't hurt me. Don't shoot; this is all
the money I have. Take them and
please go away!"
These were the words which fell upon
the astonished ears of Policeman Bot
teroff at the same istant that his eyes
beheld vision in white sitting up in
bed and extending toward him hand
which held a gold watch and a pocket
book.
officer Botteroff had climbed into a
window of the Danish Lutheran church,
on the corner of Twenty-sevtnth and
Paloma streets, early yesterday morn
ing in search of burglar, and stumbled
into the pastors study, where that Of
fetal, the Rev. Axel M. Harris, was
sleeping.
AS the policeman was passing the
church he noticed that one of the WIN
dows was open and he heard some one
moving about inside. Believing that
the person inside was there for no good
the officer planned to capture the bur-
glar.
A passing cab was stopped, the driver
who was armed with revolver, and
the lone passenger were stationed In
front of the building. A milkman was
posted on the side with the policeman's
club.
Plan for Capture
When all was ready, the officer took
the milkman's lantern, drew his re-
volver, and climbed through the open
window. As his head and shoulders
appeared through the window there
was quite a commotion in the rear of
the church. 1t was the burglar I'M
locking the unguarded back door and
escaping.
Botteroff did not know until later that
his man had escaped, so he searched
the church thoroughly. Finding no one
in the main rooms he started to ex-
plore the vestibules and study. In the
latter he found the Rev. Mr.. Harris
in bed and so badly frightened that he
thought the policeman in full uniform
was a. gar, anu ollSItu lllDl all lti-
valuables he had secreted under his
pillow, and begged for mercy.
After a time the officer succeeded in
quieting the fears of the Rev. Mr.
Harris, and at last persuaded him that
burglars did not usually wear uni
forms nor carry lanterns, but the min
lister had not settled the question in his
mind when the officer left him.
The Rev. Mr.. Harris tells another
story. He declares that a man pounded
on the door and demanded entrance,
which was refused. Later the police
man crawled through the window, and
was the worst scared man he had ever
seen. The policeman said, "You arc
not the man I am looking for" and
left. Rev. Mr.. Harris says when he
looked out the window the church was
surrounded by at least dozen police
men.

R0nd YaIne OF Egrs.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their flavor is affected by
the food of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped investigators prove that the
egg deserves its reputation as an
easily assimilated and highly nutri-
tious food, II eaten raw or lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at twelve cents dozen are
a cheap source OF nutrients; at six
teen cents, somewhat expensive, and
at twenty-five cents and over, highly
extravagant.
The basis of comparison was the
market prices of standard flesh foods
considered in relation to their nutri-
tive elements. But there is a physio-
logical constituent of eggs which is of
great value, yet it defies the search OF
the scientist or the inquisition of the
statistician, and that is their palata-
bility. Unless food, however rich in
proteins, is relished, 1t loses much of
its value, while, per contra, a less
chemically desirable food that is en-.
joyed becomes valuable by reason of
that fact.

He Vas incompatible.

In the opening days of the American
Revolution, when France had recog-
nized the independence of the United
States, and we had shown ourselves
determined upon stubborn resistance,
the English Parliament were driven to
final "cOnciliatory bilP' for the re-
covery of their colonial possessions.
Most everything was conceded by this
act, but nowhere was allusion made
to absolute independence. Lord Car
Isle, william Edsen and Gov. john
stone, in the capacity of special COM
missioners, brough the bill to America
and lost little time submitting the plan
of Cancellation to Congress, together
with an insolent letter. That body
hardly gave it consideration, but forth
with rejected the plan proposed by
the ministry.
Fooled in every attempt, but not dis
mayed, the commissioners now re-
sorted to measures distinguished In
infamy and baseness. They opened
secret correspondence with members
of Congress, and, through n female
agent, Mr.. Reed, a delegate from
Pennsylvania, was offered $4,000 and
the best Office in the colonies that his
majesty could bestow If he would use
his influence in favor Of the concilia-
tory bill. Mr. Reeds reply, as well as
memory, should be enshrined in the
hearts of every loyal Pennsylvania.
1t was simply this: II am not worth

taken for size; full-rounded body and
breast indicate value most clearly; size
and strength of bone indicate constitu-
tional vigor which should be maintain
ed through the selection of the very
best at all times for producing stock.
When special care is given to the Sc
lection of the breeding stock, and the
grower bears in mind those profitable
stics-compactness of form,
length of breast and body; and con-
stitutional vigor-the most satisfactory
results may come from the growing Of
this variety. But no matter how
much care may be given these condi-
tons, only partial success will come If
inbreeding is permitted The use of

probably an equal footing, the one the
tyrant Of the air and the other the
king OF game birds. Both were hunt
ed by the Indian, the eagle to furnish
plumes for his war bonnet, and the
turkey, OF course, for food.
But now the eagle seldom is hunted

Ing, people have become SO disheart-
ened In some localities with the mea-
ger results of their efforts to grow
turkeys for market that they have de-
sisted from the attempt.
Mr.. n. #. McGrew, Of New York, a
well-known Judge of poultry and a
writer on breeds and breeding, has
written a turkey bulletin for the De
partment of Agriculture which Is
known as farmers Bulletin No. 200,
and in this he says that there Is no
other kind Of livestock that win return
so large a profit to the successful pro-
Queer as viii poultry, and no kind of
poultry is more profitable than turkeys
when properly handled. The fact that
turkeys will, from the time they are
six weeks old until winter sets in,
gain the greater part Of their entire
living from bugs, g-asshoppers and
waste grain that they pick up in their
wanderings over the range, assures
their existence through this period at
little or no cost to the grower. In
other words, they may be termed self
sustaining foragers, where they have
sufficient range.

This turkey holds the post of honor.
1t is possibly a cross between the wild
turkey and the tame turkey, which lat

can wild turkey, the Mexican wild
turkey or the Honduras or Ocellated
turkey. Its beautiful rich plumage
and its size have come from its wild

able qualities, crosses are continually
necessary. In this way the mammoth
size has been gained, the standard
weight ranging from sixteen to thirty

ground of black blazoned or shaded
