fine tiger cats, Tom and Jennie, usual
ly sedate creatures. The cats behaved
most disreputably. Tom staggered
about the house like n gilded youth in
a lobster palace at a. m. January 1.
Jennie sat up like q squirrel and smil-
ing sWeetly made passes with her front
paws at something she only saw.
Koenig, sober man, was greatly
shocked that his pets should begin the
New Year So He learned how they
had gone astray when he found in his
pantry the remains of a fine fruit cake
and of several mice.
The fruit cake had been seasoned
for weeks in brandy. Rich, redolent
and tempting, it was to have crowned
Koenig's domestic feast.
The mice had filed themselves with
fruit cake and brandy
The cats had filled themselves with

Tom and Jennie suffered severely
from katzenjammer. but Koenig had
no sympathy for them.

400 CHICKENS LOOSE ON SHIP
Longshoremen Worked for Two Hours
Recapturinu Part of the Deck
Load of Steamer Siam
special ~ rhe HernIci


BROOKLYN, n. Y, Jan. 19-When
the Australian freight steamship Siam
was about to leave it's berth in the Erie
basin, bound for Savannah, the last
thing that was to have come aboard
was a parcel of ten crates of live
chickens, each crate holding forty of
the birds. The rope that had been
thrown around the bundle of ten crates
fouled one of the hawsers as the bum
die of crates with their squawking con-
tents was raised high up in the air
from the pier preparatory to being de-
posted as deckload for the freighter
When the crates Jared against the
hawser the rope gave way and the ten
crates crashed to the Slams deck
Every one of the ten crates was
smashed, and out flew 400 chickens and
one lone duck. For a few minutes the
air was filed with chickens, all of
which fell on the deck, some of them
manned and others flying to the ad-
iacent pier. The duck fell into the
water, dived, came up, and swan
away.
The sailing of the Siam was delayed
over two hours, while longshoremen
were catching the chickens. Some of
the negro longshoremen at work on a
ship near by got busy, too, but their
assistance was of negative value to the
owners of the ten crates, for their cap
lures were not turned over to those in
charge of the Siam without consider
able arguing and trouble.

PAINTS GOSSIP
ON SIDEWALKS

CLEAR LAKE. Ia, Jan. 19.-Paint-
ing the town red has new significance
here, and the population is in fever
of realization and ague of anticipation
over the nightly visitation of mys-
terious scandal monger, who paints his
gossip in red ink on the sidewalks and
buildings along the main streets. If the
officers, so far unable to discover the
miscreant, do not succeed soon, a vigil
lance committee will take charge OF
the search.
The names of prominent men and
women have been associated In most
sensational manner and the whole town
is talking about the truth or falsity of
the painted statements. Society women
whose names have been used are suf-
fering the deepest humiliation. There
are indications from some of the work
that persons connected with the recent
bitter mayoralty fight are behind the
despicable assaults on people. The city
council has already set on foot an in
vestigation along this line.

Photographic plates covered with black
paper.
These he placed on the carpet where
the radium was thought to be. Devel-
opment of the plates showed him the
exact position of the radium on the
carpet. He then had that part of the
carpet taken up and with the dust
under it conveyed to his laboratory.
In the laboratory Mr.. Pegram shook
all the dust out of the piece Of carpet
and then, by simple chemical process,
recovered about 60 milligrammes of a

fered police court indignities, a girl

roundly kissed and importuned to make
a hasty wedding and another girl, the
joker, has left her home.
Miss Rose GalaSch of Caldwell, N. J.

Sophie Ellis, to a letter answering the
wife wanted" advertisement of Henry
Dominyi in a matrimonial paper. She
also sent Miss Ellis latest photograph

The advertiser was so smitten by both
letter and picture that he took the next
train for Caldwell. He arrived there
yesterday, rushed to the Ellis home and
when the door was opened by Miss
Ellis showered kisses upon her. She
cried and tried to get away from him,
but he insisted that they be married at
once
AS the only way out of the dilemma,
and believing him to be mentally un-
balanced, she pretended that she was
taking him to a minister's home. In
stead she took him to the recorder S
court, where the story of the practical
joke was told.
Dominyi still wanted Miss Ellis, joke
or no joke, and was only got out of
town by threats to have him arrested.
Miss Galasch, the ready letter writer,

INDIANS TO RECEIVE
LARGE SUM FOR LAND
BY Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-By the
sale of the pasture lands of the Kiowa
Comanche and Apache Indian reser-
walton in southern oklahoma a greater
sum has been realized than any sale
of public lands ever before bought.
About 100000 sealed bids, covering
375.000 acres were received. A bidder
was permitted to bid on as many quar-
ter sections of lands as he desired, but
each bidder will be awarded only one
quarter section. The average price re-
ceived for the land is $12.19 an acre.
Thus the Indians will realize from the
sale $4,574,000, or an average of about
$1,000 for each Indian interested.
