STORM STIRS NATURE WRITER.
Lion and the Lamb Story Discounted
 by This Jersey Tale.

When George Trautwein of Mid land avenue, MontcIair, went out to his barn this morning he found hud- dled up together in an unoccupied stall a small puppy, kitten, pig con and two sparrows. They had all evidently sought the same shelter from the storm of last night.
 Mir Trautwein brought out a dish of milk and handful of crumbs and the odd quintet ate heartily of their morning meal.
 In the afternoon Trautwein drove the intruders out, supposing all but the sparrows would seek their homes but they did not. He says they stay ed about the yard until he returned to the house and then they went back to the stall.
 The pup is of the coach dog var iety, the cat is tortoiseshell in color and the pigeon slate color. Traut- vein says that if they don't leave when the weather moderates he will adopt the whole collection. Mont clair. N. j., Special to the New York Times.

BANK WOULDN'T CASH
Check Called for $159 and Labor
 CTS Went Without Pay

A dozen or more laborers in the employ of James Campbell on the Middlebury road got bad setback to-day when they learned that a check for $159 which Foreman Smith wanted cashed didn't suit the local bankers and none of them would cash it. Luigi Mancini, Of the firm of Mancini & Ruggiero, under takers, offered to cash the check pro- vided it was good, but after inquiry at the bank on which it was made out at Long Branch, it developed that the contractor had no account there, or if so, not enough to meet that demand. Things looked rather gloomy for the workmen, and they made a whole lot of noise. It was all they had to put them over the holidays and unless some plan is reached whereby they will get at least a portion of their wages this week they will have a poor Christ mas. Besides the ones who expected to get paid out of this check there are several others who will be dis appointed unless the contractor gets a move on him. Some think it was all mistake and say that MT Camp bell is all right and will pay his help a hundred cents on the dollar. Per haps this is true, but they want it now, and so long as it is not availa- ble naturally they feel sore over it.. MT Mancini and Foreman Smith had some hot words over the matter and if the snarl isn't strengthened out pretty soon the courts will be asked to see that the laborer gets his hire. The case was put in the hands of an attorney this afternoon, which means that when the men do get their wages they will have to come down with a share of it to the limb of the law who collects for them.

CHAPTER BOARD REVERSES ITSELF,
Grants Rights in Kansas 10 Missouri
Grain Companies.

Topeka, July, 3.--The State
Charter Board at a special meet
ing held Monday granted charters
to the Christie Grain Company
and the Farmers Exchange Grain
Company of Kansas City, Kan.
These are the charters the board
has been holding up for several
weeks while some investigating
has been going on. These com.
panies have been asking for the
authority to transact business in
Kansas because of the stringpncy
of the Missouri laws. The. board
has been fearful that the business
to be transacted by these com
panies might not be Legitimate.
We have decided that the
board is administrative only"
said Attorney General Jackson
yesterday, and that there is
nothing for US to do but to grant
the charters. The men represent
ing the companies say they in
tend to conduct a legitimate busi.
ness. We don't know. We can't
tell. The only thing we can do is
to grant the charters then if there
is any crooked work, revoke them
and bring proceedings against
the companies. If they conduct
bucket shops contrary to the Law
the matter will have to be taken
up throaghssthis office.
