MUTILATES A PICTURE
TO GET INTO PRISON
Expedent Of Salvation Army Lass to
Secure Free Board and Lodg-
ins-Third Painting
Ruined

PARIS, Oct. IA French Salvation
Army girl named Valentine Cantrel has
achieved fame in an extraordinary
fashion.
Having grown tired of work, it oc-
Cured to her that there was only one
way to be boarded and lodged without
undue exertion and that was to get into
prison.
So Valentine came to Paris and paid
visit to the Louvre museum. She
watched her opportunity, and when no
one was looking drew a pair of scissors
from her pocket and mutilated a fine
picture by Ingres called THE Sistine
Chapel"
In this magnificent picture she stabbed
out the eyes of the pope, a cardinal and
two other ecclesiastics. Then sheI went
to the nearest police station and gave
herself up.
This is the third time within the last
few months that pictures in the Louvre
have been damaged. A meeting of the
responsible authorities was held and it
has been decided to place a greater dis
tance between the public and the. pic
lures and to set more men to look after
them.

STEALS FAT PIG TO
FEED TO BIG LION TEDDY
Angora BiIIygoat Butts In and Helps
Capture Thief, Who Is Jailed
After Carrying Squealer
Mile

NEW YORK, Oct. IA lion, pig, a
goat and a man named Wolf figure in
this interesting tale. That no one may
be called hard names 1t is said at the
beginning that this is not a nature story,
but one tersely told in those dear old
lines:
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole pig and away he rum"
Frederick E. Stevens of Glens Falls,
N. Y, is exhibiting some fine pigs at the
Essex county fair, Olympic park, Irving
ton, N. j. There, too, is Ferari's trained
animal show, which contains an African
lion named Teddy because it constantly
emits roars. The king of beasts has not
been in his usual form recently; has been
moping and peevish.
1.-The only thing the matter with Teddy
is that he has had no pig to eat lately.
said Signor Snapawhipski, the lion tanner,
to James Barton, employed in the show.
In his native jungle he was brought
up on peccary, and the habit has grown
on him.
''Ill get him some pig, all right said
Barton, who lives at 1914 Second avenue,
New York Tuesday night, after the
crowd had left the fair, Barton tiptoed
to the live sstoclS section. picked out the
fattest of Mr.. Stevens young por~srs
and tucked it under his arm.
The pig, accustomed to being handled,
made no s4fRal, but he alert Woll, a
special offif&R in the park, saw Barton
and chased him. Barton. fleeing in the
dark, encountered a big Angora billy
goat, which was making some nocturnal
excursion. The goat charged Barton.
who found himself between the devil and
the deep blue sea-between William and
Wolf. The policeman seized Barton and
made him carry the pig to the Iryington
lookup, a mile away.
Recorder Mayfield sent Barton to jail
for thirty days yesterday; the pig is on
exhibition again; the lion is still roaring,
hungry for pork chops.
