night and was locked up on a charge
Of larceny. Several chickens were
found at his home and many of them
had been stolen from nearby coops.
Offers TO Make Good.
When the boy was arraigned in ju-
venile court he said that he was simply
a member of a chicken-loving gang,
and that if released he would show the
location of every fowl that had been
stolen in South Minneapolis for two
months.
He was given chance to make good,
and he did it, altho before he got thru
the police were sorry they had ever
meddled with the case. Thru alleys
and across vacant lots the boy led the
officers and coop after coop was over
hauled. Detectives Rhodes and Bahan
and Captain Sinclair were armed with
sacks and when the lad would point out
a bird that he or his friends had stolen
at some time or other one Of the officers
would have to make some quick jumps.
But at last the boys memory failed
and he could not remember where all
the chickens were. He and his friends
had stolen some and traded them for
others Of different breed and finally the
word had to be passed around among
the fanciers that all who had suffered
losses recently could get their chickens
at the station. Accordingly, they
picked out the birds that looked
strange or that their own small boys
had traded for and went to the ex-
change.
| It took a whole day to straighten out
/ the tangle, but before O'Clock roll.
call last night every chicken and the
/ peacock had been identified.

such delight as along the Seine. The

relics of an age when that most ter

too, and they can talk about theii
books as well as sell them. Recently

Frozen Meat Trade.

Some idea of the extensiveness of
the frozen meat trade may be gained
when 1t is noted that there are no
fewer than fifty-eight freezing plants
In Australasia and Argentina. Their es.
timated daily killing and freezing Gu
pacities are equal to 100000 56-pound
carcasses (4.500 tons), and they are
equipped with means Of storing two
or three weeks killings. During the
past year the total output OF Austria
liza. New Zealand and the River Platte
for all markets was equal to about
$4,000 tons of frozen meat.
