ROOSTER STARTS SOMETHING
Country Bird Comes to Town Mixes
Up Two Families.

Country Bird Comes to Town Mixes
Up Two Families.
Pilger, Neb., Nov. ga skinny
rooster with hardly enough feathers
to cover its nakedness, has caused a
heap of trouble in Pilger this week.
G. H. Mahlpe bought it in the coun-
try, brought it home and turned it in
with the rest of his flock. But the
rooster, not feeling at home, meander-
ed across the alley where it found
more congenial company among John
Foy's bunch. Soon after Mahlpe miss
ed it and followed after the rooster.
Foy refused to acknowledge Mahlpe's
ownership and wouldn't give it up,
but that night Mahlpes hired man
went over and got the rooster without
Foy's knowledge or consent
The next morning on learning that
Mahlpe had regained possession, Mrs.
Foy went to Stanton to consult an at
torney. He advised her to let some
disinterested party settle the question.
Mrs. Foy returned home, and after a
consultation with Mahlpe, 1t was
agreed that Justice of the Peace Ant
lers should decide.
The judge was loath to make any
decision, finally saying he would take
the rooster down the alley fifty yards
from each place, turn it loose, and to
which coop it returned there 1t would
stay as far as he was concerned, that
it would stand as the decision of the
court.
When the rooster was released from
the custody of the court it picked I'D
a few kernels of corn about, and then
made Decline for Mahlpe's. Foy then
filed bill of exceptions alleging that
Mahlpe had scattered the corn to in
duce the rooster to return to him and
also made few other remarks on the
side for which Mahlpe proceeded to
knock him down a couple of times.
Foy promptly had him arrested for
assault and battery. He pleaded guilty
and was fined So and costs, and then
had Foy arrested for provoking the as
salt. Foy pleaded guilty, drew 81,
and costs and few hours later meet |
ing Mahlpe's hired man, he made a
few more remarks and caused his ar
rest again and another fine Of 81 and
costs was taxed up against him.
Peace has been restored and the lit
tie skinny rooster still crows and cir
culates in the alley. The school treas
lry is $40 richer because of him.

EARRINGS,

The message comes from the east,
and 1t is flashed over the wire be-
cause a matter of so much Importance
as this could not endure the tedious
delay of Uncle Sans mail pouches,
that the -Four Hundred" are now hav-
ing their ears pierced and getting out
grandmother's earrings. And when
the -Four Hundred" adopt new fad
or revive an old one. all the rest OF
the world, or anyway so much thereof
as is included in the domain Of the
stars and stripes, is expected to at
once follow and give thanks to the
grand danes for giving them some
thing new to do. Earrings OF the nine
teenth century are fashions latest
craze. The longer the pendant the
better; the more oddly designed the
more desirable.
Mrs. Glyn startled New York soci-
ETY. at a dinner party given by Mrs.
John Jacob Astor by wearing a pair of
earrings set with massive pear-shaped
pearls and topped by bow-knots of
diamonds. 1t Is her favorite set, worth
$4,000.
The -Four Hundred" fell quickly
into line. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Mrs.
Herman Oelrich, Mrs. Harry Lehr and
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt were among
the first to adopt the fad.
The new earrings differ from those
Of our grandmothers in that they are
lighter and longer, but the old style
is copied as closely as possible. If
anything, though, heirlooms are given
preference.
Miss Gladys Vanderbilt Is wearing
a striking set executed in Austrian
workmanship, gift from her fiance,
Count Szechenyi They are finely
wrought gold with pearl settings.
Mrs. Fish wears sapphires and
pearls, Mrs Lehr a solitaire diamond
with pink pearl pendant, and Mrs.
Oelrich gold leaf design with topaz
setting.
