CHICAGO, April ia remarkable
story was told in Judge Ponds court
room today, when grown brothers and
sisters learned that the man who
reared them was not their father.
Then, although he has fulfilled a
fathers duty to them and now is blind
and feeble, they refused to contribute
to his support.
The old man, who must pass his re-
naming years a pensioner of the
country, is Philip Lindemann, now in
his S5th year. The four brothers and
sisters, three of whom learned for the
first time that he was not their father,
are John and Arthur Lindemann, Mrs
Amelia Mcintyre and Mrs. Kate Ward.
In 1861 Oscar Lindau, said to be
the real father of the children, left his
wife and four babies at their home in
Cincinnati, and went with an Ohio
regiment to the front
He never came back, nor any word
Of his fate reach the wife and child
rem. At the close of the war Linde-
mann appeared and married Mrs.
Lindau, the children being led to be-
lieve by their mother that he was
their father.
Three months ago the mother died,
and there has since been contention
as to who should care for Lindemann,
who became blind ten years ago.

ed additional tents at San Antonio

neys until the chimneys are repaired
and pronounced in safe cond1tlon.
Representatives of the two local banks
met with Oakland bankers today, and
it is expected that the money institu-
tions will be opened for business next
week. R A. Smith was placed under
arrest today for setting fire to guam
tity of oil that was floating in the bay
near his residence. The combustible
liquid fiared up and ignited two build
ings near by. The flames were quickly
extinguished. Smith said that he de-
sired to destroy the oil so that he
could indulge in surf bath. His ac-
tion caused a mild panic and residents
in the vicinity of the blaze carried
their household effects into the street.
All refugees are requested to regis
ter at the local postoffice to facilitate
the efforts of their relatives and
friends to locate them. Crolrs Gar
dens at the West End nave been
thrown open to refugees. Because of

THE BLACK BASS.

A Marine Butcher That Kills For the
Pleasure Of Slaughter.
The bass is like roaring lion going
about seeking whom he may devour. I
have seen a good sized specimen get
into a school Of minnows and eat and
stuff until he could not get any more
into his capacious insides, then go of
by himself. throw up what he had
eaten and begin over again, after which
he would keep on killing the poor in
nocent minnows, apparently for the
mere pleasure Of killing. Very young
bass will attack minute water life
which flourishes on water plants and
get away with every one In sight,
adopting the same method as their ED
ers. To illustrate the extent Of the
cannibalism of the black bass here Is
the experience of superintendent Of
one of the fish hatcheries in Pennsyl-
vania:
1.-The superintendent made an actual
count of 10000 young bass about an
inch long and placed them in a fry
pond by themselves. He gave them
food six times a dav, ans. according to
his statement. each fish ate on an aver
age three times it's own weight Of the
prepared food every twentyfour hours.
They were placed in a pond on the
list of July. and on Oct. 1. when
they We're taken out. there were only
1000, and the record showed that less
than 200 died from sickness. 1t is rea-
Avx.A H.
addition to the food given them by the
superintendent there were about 1900
bass devoured by their stronger and
more fortunate companions."-W. E.
Meehan in Field and Stream.

Caring For the Teeth.

Without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication. Without thor
ough masticatiOn there cannot be per-
feet digestion. and consequently poor
health results; hence the paramount
Importance of sound teeth. Clean teeth
do not decay. The teeth should not be
brushed from side to side. If this Is
done the points Of the gums will be in
jured and the teeth loosened. The up
per teeth should be brushed from the
top downward from the gums to the
ends Of the teeth. the lower teeth from
the bottom upward. also from the gums
to the extremity of the teeth. 1t is es-
sential to wash the teeth at night and
wise to wash them also in the morn
ing. Rinse the mouth after each meal.
