MADE IN A CITY PARK
Special to The Herald.


CLEVELAND, July 13.-Joe Gold
soil patron of love-making, whose oc-
cupation is chief of the park police
men, announced that he would give
prizes to couples who became engaged
in the parks and afterward marry. A
short time ago Goldsoll announced he
would throw open the city parks to
couples who wished to make love. In
fact, he invited cooling rnaidens and
lovesick swains to his bailiwick and
promised them immunity from inter-
ference. He forthwith instructed his
cops to look the other way if a young
man should kiss a rosy cheek. They
were ordered not even to smile when
couples strolled through the parks
hand in hand.
"A photograph and statement of
the circumstances surrounding the pro-
posal must go with the prize park
bride application" said Goldsoll to-
night in explaining his offer Notices
of park engagements must be sent to
me without delay and a second notice
should be sent the day the marriage
license is issued"
When asked why he had made such
an offer the chief replied:
ITO encourage spooning in the parks.
That's what the parks are fora place
for the lovesick. They've got moth
er's front parlor beaten all hollow for
loVenlaking.

HEN CHEWS TOBACCO
LIKE A OLD VETERAN

Special to The Herald.
MACwAMOC, Me-, July 13.-When
SANDY" Hicks came to the village the
other day and told how his star Leg
horn hen, Lucy, had become SO far
civilized that she could chew spruce
gum and tobacco, the folks took the
tale with a grain of salt.
: 81 reckon SEEM is believin' and SO
Ill show any of We that's doubters"
SANDY" declared.
John Hedges and Bert Frink hadn't
much to do except fish SO they went
along out to "Sandys" place where
they were greatly surprised to see that
Hicks was no nature-faker.
There she is" said Sandy" notion
ing to motherly old hen on nest
of straw. She's settin' and the only
way can keep her on is to give her all
the gum and weed she wants.
whats she chewing now?' asked
Frink.
Gum" replied Sandy" but she'll
shift. You watch"
Taking bit of fine cut tobacco from
his pocket Hicks rolled it into a ball
the size of a pea and extended II to
Lucy. with cackle of joy the old hen
gulped down the gum and was soon
mounting the morsel, working her bill
the way man works his jaws.
II shouldn't think she could chaw
without teeth" observed Hedges. that
Is. not gum."
well, she can" replied Hicks. 'She
sort of lets the gum soak till it's soft
and then chews it real lively. AS for
the tobacco, that's easy. Why, I know
a hundred men without even store teeth
who just dote on the weed"
Toothless Lucy seemed to love the
sedative and the last Hicks and his
neighbors saw of her that day she was
chewing away like veteran while she
Matched out her chicks.

RUNAWAY ROOSTER
HOLDS UP CAR LINE

Special to The Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, July 13-It was
nothing more than common or gar
from a coop on one of the wagons of
the Adams Express company caused
enough excitement to tie up the United
States mail for fifteen minutes and de-
lay several hundred business men get
ting to their offices.
Just as one of the express wagons was
driving out of the station at Eighteenth
and Market streets about 8 o'clock the
rooster wriggled through the Stats of
the coop and made a dash for an east
bound trolley car crossing Eighteenth
street.
The motorman brought the car to a
stop with a jerk which threw the pas
sengers out of the seats. and then left
the platform to see if the rooster was
killed. The rooster wasn't. 1t crowed
twice and in a fifty was perched on the
axle of the front truck.
Hey, there! Don't you start that
car until get that bird!" the driver of
the express wagon shouted to the mo-
torman, who was about to go on.
Get IL move on!" one of the fat men
in the car called to the motorinar1. Il
want to get to my office!"
I'm responsible for that there bird,
and I'm not going to get locked $1.5O!
retorted the expressman. You will
wait till / get that rooster"
"All right! Go as far as you like!" the
motorman replied, as he took the lever
off the motor.
In these minutes crowd of several
h., oh cof
around the car, while the driver was
poking a stick at the rooster to dis
lodge it. Meanwhile a mail car, bound
to the postoffice, was held up, as well
as a rapidly extending line of Market
street cars. The crowd grew denser.
Its man killed. leather-lunged
youngster shouted along Market street,
and this brought two policemen to the
scene. .....
Get the hook for the rooster" sug'
gested one of the crowd.
you get funny and I'll punch you In
the mouth" said the expressman, who
was purple in the face as he wriggled
under the car after the bird.
"I mean the switch iron. Poke 1t OIL
the axle with the switch IRON"
Eyes. kill the darned thing" the mo-
torman of the mail car shouted. I'm
about twelve minutes late now, and al
for DANCED rooster"
mo, you won't kill it." an agent fol
the Womans Pennsylvania Society fol-
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
called back as the driver tried to dis
lodge the rooster with the hook.
When it seemed as though the rooster
was going to delay traffic indefinitely
every one remarked that if the car was
run to the barn on the return trip the
rooster could be taken off the axle from
the pit in the barn from which men fix
the trucks of the car.
That suggestion was acted upon in
spite of the expressman's protest, and
as travel was resumed fifteen minutes
late the car started off with the rooster
still clinging to the axle bearing.

LOST HIS STORE TEETH"
AND SUGAR HOUSE, TOO


Special to The Herald.
WA1TSFIELp, VT, July 13.-Warren
Wendell attributes the destruction OF
his sugar house by fire to the fact that
a young steer Knocked out his false
teeth and stepped on them. He is,
therefore, ready to sell the steer cheap.
Wendell went into the woods to make
maple sugar when the sap began TO
run and took with him two young
steers he had been breaking in. one
was we'll broken to sled, but the other
was an unruly beast and was exceed
ingly difficult to control. On the third
day the unduly steer knocked Wendell
down and out flew the mans false
teeth. Upper set and lower set landed
in the snow and before Wendell could
recover his property the animal had
stepped upon them. cracking the rub
Der plate and smashing several molars.
without his teeth Wendell was in
sad way, so he sent the set to the
Montpelier dentist who made them.
The dentist wrote that, he would make
the repairs and that Wendell could go
to town and have them refitted In a
week. While he was waiting wendell
kept on making sugar and now and
then chastising the steer out of spite.
The day before he was to go for his
teeth Wendell worked late and about
midnight accidentally set his sugar
house afire. Seeing that he would be
unable to control the flames alone he
rushed to the nearest neighbours for
help, trying to shout fire as he ran.
On arriving at the neighbor's he
aroused the family, but was unable to
make himself understood because his
teeth were out. The good folks thought
that some one was sick and while one
headed for Wendel's abode another
up and drove for doctor. 1t was mot
until the man afoot had turned bend
in the road that he saw the flames.
Then he had to return for his wife and
sons.
This delay proved disastrous, for by
the time the brigade got to the sugar
house and began working line of
pals to and from the brook the flames
were beyond control.

NEW YORK, July 13.-A woman in
sad-colored garments or Quakerish
cut, with a forbidding aspect and a
poke bonnet, was passenger in a
morning train from Harrisburg, Pa,
to New York last Wednesday. She
was disturbed by the draught from an
open window. She was annoyed by the
shrill chatter of the children across
the aisle. But when four young col
lege men took the double seat behind
her and joyfully uplifted their voices
in favor of good smoke her wrath
knew no bounds. Turning swiftly, her
poke bonnet focused the face of the
man nearest and she observed:
1.-THE noxious weed they call tobacco!
1t is too filthy even for insects to
crawl upon, and yet you put 1t in your
mouth and expect to be received in
decent society"
The tide of her eloquence was
stemmed by the civil suggestion of her
neighbor that though he regretted his
remarks had offended her they had
not been addressed to her, but to his
friends. She refused, however, to be
placated, and was still pouring forth
her views on the "vile and disgusting
tobacco habit" for the benefit of the
carload of passengers, when immedi-
ately beneath her seat the sharp yelp
of a small dog was heard. The woman
started and looked nervously ABOUT
There was nothing to be seen. =.
She was about to begin again, when
the small dogs yelps, plaintively pro-
longed, came from under her skirt. She
gave a little shrek and pulled it back
as the conductor said finally:
s'Sorry, madam, but you Will have to
take that dog INTO the baggage car"
"Can we help you, madam" asked
the polite voice of the smoker behind.
az have no dog" snapped the woman,
searching the floor with fearsome eyes.
The conductor searched, too; then
looking at her suspiciously he passed
down the aisle. The next instant a
scratching and splitting, intermingled
with mad yelps and howls, sent the
woman flying from her seat as the
conductor came back on the. run. Al
though the car was diligently investi-
gated from end to end. no cat or dog
was visible to the naked eye.
Everybody began to smile. Even the
conductor seemed to see a joke. only
the victim of the unseemly VISITATION
and the four young tobacco fiends be-
hind her failed to join in the general
hiiarity. The young men were chat
