onor1 OF Leg and Long Of Neck Il
Won Many Penny.

hen with neck like a turkey and
one leg an inch shorter than the other
attracted attention here a few days
ago and caused as much merriment as
a one-rins circus, says the New York
World man at McKeever, N. Y.
The fowl, which was said to be two
years old, was the property of an Or
gan grinder, who carried it on top of
his organ instead of monkey He
had taught it to do several tricks, and
1t Is safe to say that it collected more
pennies than the average simian.
When the organ grinder struck the
village the hen was perched on top of
one shoulder, emitting sounds between
a crow and squeal. This naturally
attracted attention and soon a small
crowd was assembled AS soon as
enough had arrived the hen dropped
to the ground and began to navigate
In a series of circles toward possible
donators OF coin. Owing to the fact
that one leg was shorter than the
other it could not proceed in straight
line, and its efforts to pick up pennies
tossed on the ground were extremely
ludicrcus.
Once it had a coin in it's beak the
hen would futter and squawk and
circle back to the grinder and place
the treasure in his breeches pocket
Then it would navigate back to the
crowd and look for more. The long
neck of the fowl was of advantage,
for by standing On the toes of it's
long leg, it could search vest pockets
for pennies. In this way several were
added to the collection. The hen, in
fact, was as good pickpocket as was
ever found operating at the county
fair

no doubt, but not altered In nature.
For instance, the ancients knew of
the lightning conductor, or, at all
events, the method of attracting the
lightning. Celtic soldiers in a storm
used to lie on the ground, first lighting
torch and planting their naked
swords in the ground by their side
with the point upward. The lightning
often struck the point of the sword
and passed away without injury to the
warrior
The Romans, too, seem to have
known the lightning rod. On the top
OF the highest tower of the castle Of
Dunio on the Adriat1c there was set
from time immemorial a long rod of
iron. In the stormy weather of sum-
OF tempest. A soldier was always
stationed by it when the sea showed
threatening signs of storm. From time
to time he put the point of his long
javelin close to the point of the rod.
Whenever spark passed between the
two pieces of iron he rang bell to
warn the fishermen. Gerbert, in the
tenth century, invented a plan for d.
verting the lightning from fields by
planting in them long sticks tipped
with very sharp lance heads.

Burn,

Washington, PA reward of IS 900
awaits the man who can solve a mys-
terry for Ebenezer Curry, a Washing.
ton county farmer heir to big estate
and at present almost fit subject for
a madhouse
Curry inherited hundred-acre farm
in Washington county from a rich
bachelor uncle, Hughey MCGOWAN,
who died less than a year ago. "Old
Man" MCGOWAN, as he was called, had
many relatives residing near him, but
he left the bulk of his property to Eb-
enezer Curry, a favor1te nephew, who
resided in Ohio, on condition that he
lived one continuous year in the old
farmhouse and did not sell the coal
underlying the farm for less than $500
an acre.
McGOwan's nelghbors had all sold
their coal for smaller sums, but the
rich bachelor, believing that they had
disposed of it too cheaply, had refused
to sell under $500 an acre.
Curry gladly accepted the terms of
the old mans will, and a few months
ago took up his residence on the Nc
Gowan farm, about Is miles from here.
The day after he took up his residence
on the old place he found tackled to
his front door a piece of paper on
which had been written: Look out
for the arrow"
He was puzzled, but gave the warn
n mr. o. - =
at frequent intervals in various ways.
Shortly afterward he found a valuable
horse dead in field, and on it's left
flank had been branded an arrow
while close by was written the old
warning on a piece of paper
Misfortunes began to fall on Curry
His stock mysteriously died. and on
he flank of each animal would be
found freshly branded arrow. Curry
kept watch day and night, hoping to
catch some miscreant at work, but al
ways failed, and still his stock de-
creased.
More recently a small stable on the
MCGOWAN place was burned down and
conspicuously posted near the build
ing was the inscription scrawled on a
piece of paper: Watch for the
arrow
Sheep, hogs and cattle owned by
Curry have been dying rapidly, evi
IDENTIFY from some disease resembling
rabies. On each animals flank, how
ever, has appeared the imprint of the
fa1eful arrow, and Curry has been
driven to the verge of madness.
The Pittsburg and Buffalo Coz,
company short time ago offera9
Curry $4,000 for his 100 acres of coal
and. Curry could not accept the CT
fer, as according to the terms of his
uncle's will he was forced to live one
year at the old homestead in order to
obtain possession of the property.
He says he is unable to endure the
situation any lonSer, and unless the
persecution is stopped or some clev,
to BITS misfortune obtained he will be
forced to move AMY and give up hi
heritage. Consequently he has offered
one-tenth OF the price realized on the
sale OF his coal to any person who will
clear up the mystery and enable him
to live out the year and sell the coal.
