DOGS WILL BE DOGS.

Flat dwellers are accustomed to be awakened
night by dogs that "bay the moon," and in
the small hours of the morning by those which
greet the sunrise with paans to some tendenriy
remembered bone. but they wondered whether
they were dreaming really in verdant
Arcadia when in a certain apartment house.
they heard the cheerful Growing of ROSTERS at
about 4 o'clock in the morning. Coming slowly
and none too sweety out of the land OF dreams,
they were certain that they distinguished the
answering cluck of hens. Risirg to the occasion
they looked out of their windows TO assure them
selves that they were still dwellers i'll Manhat
tan and neither dreaming suffering from
some phase of insanity. They greeted by
an hilarious crow, which seemed to come from
the neighborhood OF the fire escape.
Somehow, things which afford amusement at
S clock in the morning do not appear in the
least entertaining at O'Clock. Investigations
were instituted which disclosed the fact that
one tenant in the house had an extra room and
also fondneSs for chickens. Why not raise
chickens in that room, he thought. They were
cheerful, companionable creatures, and would
prove addition to the table later The
other tenants agreed with this view. but thought
that the poultry should be served up without de-
lay The landlord was called in TO settle a diff
ference Of opinion which the subject,
and like most landlords, sided with the
jority.
And yet" argued the chicken fancier you
let people with parrots live in your house. And
parrots awful language'-
They can't help il, their early training is
bad said the landlord. And then if other
tenants objected to their language we'd put
them Out

majority opposed TO live chickens as neighbors.
While pets often prove fruitful sources of
discussion between landlords and tenants. as
common a cause OF dispute is the fancy of some
tenants for changing dining rooms into par
lors or the latter into bedrooms. This involves
alteration which the tenant always insists
should be made at the landlords expense and
the Bill for such transpositions is rarely ever
paid without alteration

of affairs must eventually prove 70 the financial

PENALTIES MAY BE IMPOSED.

ANY employer who declares causes a lockout
contrary to the provisions OF the act is liable
a fine of not less than 500 more than 81 600
a day while the lockout exists. Any employe who
goes on strike under the same conditions Is liable
to a fine of not less than SO nor more than so
a day while on strike. And any person who in
cites encourages aids unlawful lockout
strike is liable to a fine OF not less than $50
more than $1,000
THE main points covered by this act are there
fore" says President Eliot, no change In wages
or hours without thirty days notice: lockout
or strike without previous investigation OF
causes and demands by impartial public
thority which secures complete publicity: and
therefore no lockout strike unless it. has been
carefully considered by the parties most nearly
concerned through period which hardly be
less than two months, and has been publicly de-
bated for period which, under ordinary circum
stances will not be less than month. and
may easily be more
