His Roll by Roost. 4,
Ottumwa.-An Ottumwa chicken
woman has Just disposed Of nine
chickens, the plainest sort Of barn
yard fowls, for little over $500 for
the lot. The purchaser OF the
chickens thought he was getting them
at q bargain, in fact. when he car.
ried them OF he did not suppose for
even second that they would ever
cost him cent.
Both the woman and the man were
unintentional parties to the transac-
ton, and while the woman is decid.
eddy pleased with her end Of the bar
gain, there Is little question but that
the man is much set back over what
he supposed would be free chicken
feast
Just who the parties are the police
refuse to say, but here Is the story
as It reached them:
A few days ago the woman, who
lives near the Garfield school In the
east end Of the city, missed couple
of her chickens over night. Another
night or two passed without incident,
but then came the surprise, for one
morning when the woman went to
feed her pets they failed to respond
to her call and an investigation OF
the chicken house revealed the fact
that all the chickens were gone
However, nearby the woman dis.
covered a. pocketbook containing a
little over 5000 in currency. Joyfully
she picked it up and excitedly count
ed over the money. Here was re-
yenge that was sweet indeed.
During the same afternoon a
strange man came to the house and
stated that he was out to buy
chickens.
Anxious that the would-be chicken
buyer should have every bit of In
formation he desired, the woman
escorted him around the house to the
chicken yard. Sight of 1t inspired
him to the minutest investigation.
He examined every inch of the
ground about the chicken house,
every little corner Of the coop Itself,
and even went so far as to examine
part OF the yards adjoining on either
side.
Even this did not thoroughly sat
isfy him and he finally went away
with sorely disappointed expression
playing over his countenance, while
the woman. with the proceeds Of her
uninteutional sale, tucked snugly
away in the bosom of her dress,
smiled on the departing figure OF the
man.

PEACE FOR CENTRAL AMERICA
REPRESENTATIVES, FROM FIVE
REPusLics CONFER.
Best Of Will PrevaiIs--Mr. Adee and
Senior 0odoy Of Mexico Assist In
Preliminary Meeting.

Washington. Practical agree
ment on the main points and
general good will marked the pre-
liminary meeting Wednesday in this
city Of the representatives Of the
five Central American republics to
carry out the suggestion Of the United
States and Mexico for permanent
peace understanding. After d session
of several hours the conference was
adjourned until Monday next. Those
who participated in the meeting and
the respective governments repre-
scented by them were as follows:
Senior. Calvo, Costa RIGA; Senior Corea,
Nicaragua; Senior Herrat, Guatemala;
Senior Mejia, Salvador; DR.. Ugarte,
Honduras; Assistant Secretary OF
State Adee, and Senior Godoy, Mexico.
Messrs Adee and Godoy addressed
the Central American representatives
In Spanish. Each spoke of the import
ance of the meeting and the benefits
to be derived from an everlasting
peace. At the solicitation of the Gem
trail American representatives,
Messrs Adee and Godoy remained
throughout the session.
None of the parties to the confer
ence would disclose the nature of the
questions discussed, pleading that no
conclusions had been reached. 1t was
learned, however, that the best Of
feeling prevailed and the various sub
jects were gone into with great care
and an evidently sincere desire to
reach complete understanding.
The only point on which any hitch
occurred was that relating to the pro-
tocol to be signed. Two of the Cen
trail American representatives, under
their instructions, were without au-
thority to sign the document without
first submitting it to their govern
ments for approval One Of those who
attended the meeting said it was pos
sible that this might involve some
trouble and perhaps the changing of
the protocol in some important par.
ticulars. Some delay, therefore, is ex-
pected to be caused by reason of this
fact. It is not doubted, however, that
a permanent peace pact will be en-
tered into. y
Everything was exceedingly en-.
couraging," said Mr.. Adee Wednesday
night. "and the utrs0st good nature
prevailed"
Mr.. Adee said 1t gratified both him
self and Senior Godoy to be called
into the conference and that they
gave the representatives the benefit
of such counsel as was desired.
