How 1t Began.
EorlgInal.1

EOriginaIl
MISS Martha Cumbuton was In the
mountains during the summer under
an assumed name. When one morn.
lg she tore the wrapper from her
uaiiy newspaper she noticed this an
nouncement:
Bradford Elliott, whose hooks on birds
are dellghting thousands. is pursuing his
studies IN the mountains.
Miss Cumbuton was one whom Mr..
Eihotts books had delighted, and she
noped she would meet him. She was
accustomed to take long walks, accom-.
panied only by big dog, and one
morning while In gorge, through
which flowed Mountain torrent she
suddenly came upon man sitting on a
TOOK looking up into tree. AS she ap-
preached bird few out OF the tree.
Inc man rose and stood uncovered
while she passed.

that's Bradford Elliott. I'd know him
anywhere by bis printed pictures"
AS sure as my name is Stevenson"
said the man, that's Evangellne Gray.
tne vaudeville queen. I've seen her
face on posters many a time"
Miss Cumbuton had no mind to let
the opportunity pass. Turning, she
asked In her sweetest voice:
Can you tell me how / VIII know
the road leading up to the Mountain
House when reach it!''
Not very well,r said Mr.. Stevenson
II his own most modulated tones, but
will be happy to show ii to you Il
you will permit me. It's not far"
Miss Cumbuton knew very we'll that
the distance was more than a mile
ana that It would give her quite a
walk with the great bird fancier, SO
she accepted the offer. She at once
turned the conversation on birds.
Il saw you looking at a bird in a
tree" she remarked, cas- I approached.
Did you make out Its genusT'
Bird? What bird? / was looking at

Gates bear trap"
Il suppose you don't know anything
about birds?" she said archly.
Certainly not"
Him! Sometimes 1t is convenient
to remain incog. n
Mr.. Stevenson stopped and look
the lady full in the face. How in the
world did you know that?" he asked.
"Oh, little bird told me-"
"A little bird up in treeT"
"Yes."
( THAT I'm up treeT !.
Miss Cumbuton chuckled.
"Are you doing the mountains IN
cog.?" he asked.
1t was Miss Cumbuton's turn to look
serious. why, suppose am" hest

The planet Neptune, which had for
countless ages revolyed in the heavens
unseen by any one on earth, was dis
covered simultaneously and independ-
entity In 1916 by Professor Adams and
M. Leyerrier, the two most brilliant
astronomers OF the day.
Some years ago a shepherd boy
placed sleeper on the railway line be-
tween Brighton and Palmer, with the
result that a train was thrown of the
rails. One year later TO q day, almost
to a minute, that same youth was
struck by lightning and instantaneous
~ killed within couple Of miles of the
spot at which the accident occurred.
The four King Georges Of England
all died on the same day Of the week.
In 1890, few weeks before the cen

markable result: Number OF males over
twenty-one years of age, las; number
OF males under twenty-one years of

males under sixteen years of age, las.
Some years ago in Teheran an Eng

the shah's palace. The thief was
brought before the liking Of kings"
who swore that the next time the sailor
crossed bis path he would at once be
put to death. 1t Is q curious fact that
this very sailor was crossing the street
when the shah was driving in Berlin
some time after and was knocked
down and instantaneously killed. =

PLACED UNDER ARREST
ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
George c. Drolette Of Bellows Falls Was
Accused Of Attempted Rape on
Gin in Springfield,
Mass.

Springfield, Mass, Aug, George G.
Drolette, aged 25, a Frenchman who
halls from Bellows Falls, VT, was ar
rested about 1880 Sunday afternoon in
Forest park by James Fl Costello, one
of the park policemen, charged with at
tempted rape on Teresa Donovan, the
i1-years-old daughter of Dennis A. Don

mans actions were witnessed by mum.

The young man il merely a soiourner

the corner Of Bond and Main streets
early Sunday afternoon. She was on
her way to the home Of her sister, when
he intercepted her and induced her to
take a car ride to Forest park with him.
He paid her carfare and gave her 10
cents beside They went into the PARK

Niasttiani an Italian laborer in the park,
who is also a special officer, and who
witnessed the mans actions, made his
appearance and arrested DTolette, who
made little resistance.
She claims that Drolette offered her
sums OF money from 81 to S., but she
refused to accept anything and resisted
with the feeble strength OF a badly
frightened girl of that age. Park Officer
Costello could hardly restrain himself
from misusing the prisoner after he bad
heard the story of the little girl, who
accompanied them to the police station.
Drolette was handcuifed to the officer,
but he made no attempt te escape.

The stomach Ache.

For genuine stomach ache that is,
pain IN the true stomach-you must
blame the digestion. II the pain often
occurs one may be sure that serious
state Of chronic indigestion obtains.
Then of course It is very necessary to
take advice directed to that one case.
But for solitary attack there is moth

AN AGED COW.
Her Beef Value Less Than Returns
She Will Bring.

Her Beef Value Less Than Returns
She viii Bring.
Sending an aged COW to the sham
bles when she stin has the power to
return her owner fair profit is not
displaying good business judgment, in
view of the fact that her beef value,
as rule, is less than the annual re-
turns she win bring as a producer OF
milk and offspring. The aged COW.
say from eight to twelve years, is a
pretty sure proposition. Her ability to
make money has been determined ana
her acquaintance has become estab-
lished.
She knows your ways and you know
hers. If she has produced good calf
right along 1t IS safe to assume, bar
ring accidents to which every COW is
subject, that she will continue to do
so for number of years to come If
her health has been preserved. Tho
man who dislikes to break IN the helf-
er should be slow to part with a good
COW simply because she is getting
along In years. This, Of course, APP
plies to general conditions.
Under Normal Conditions.
1t Is generally considered that a COW
under normal conditions does her best
during the sixth or seventh year Up
TO that time both the milk and butter
fat content should increase eonsidera-
bly, in amount. according to Iowa
Homestead. From this age on to ten
years there can be expected a slight
increase under favorable conditions.
though many good COW goes back
ward during this time simply because
1t is so often thought that she has at
tanned an age where she can shift for
herself Instead Of this kind OF man
agement cow Of merit worth keeping
should be given good attention, for her
ability to produce largely and econom-
ically is probably as near it's prime as
at any time before the sixth or nv-
enth year. Many mature cows when
on heavy feed are not economical pro-
ducers, though 1t Is pretty safe rule
that where cow produces abundant
" at the pail she is making good use
of her ration.

that Syrup of Figs and Elixir OF

PARIS TO HAVE POLICE DOGS
Four Black CANNES Constitute the
Brigade Now Training.


AS soon as the dog police Is In per
feet working order, If you happen to
be guilty of misdemeanor you will
hear, "Arretez au nom dun chein!" II
you are wise you will "arreter," says
the New York Herald's Paris edition.
Job, Black, Due and Dick constitute
the dog brigade of the Neuilly and
Paris police force. All of them are
black, and thus suited for night work,
which is their specially. At present
they are stationed at police headquar-
ters in Neuilly and are being trained
for general use, and particularly for
clever sleuth work In the Bots de
Boulogne.
The dogs are not yet full-fedged po-
liCemen, hence they are still being
taught the essentials of their munich
pal duty and are making satisfactory
progress. Several times a week they
ure taken to an Enclosure in Neullly, es-
pecially engaged for the purpose, where
four of the local peace officers teach
and direct them in the work of beins
clever and discreet thief catchers.
The scheme in the training Is that of
teaching the dogs to obey and carry out
the intelligence of their masters in
catching evildoers of all kinds. Ac-
cordingly the dogs are made to answer
ID omptly the word of command. They
must follow or go ahead, start, stop.
attack. desist, watch, search or remain
at rest
In their very natures they are lat
tackers," and when they are given the
command "Attaque!" they start for
their prey with positive relish. For
experimental purposes an Apache has
been engaged, and his name is Bou-
logne. AS a matter of fact, Boulogne
ia law-abiding, peaceable citi-
zen. but, in the manner the dogs are
trained to regard him, he Is anything
ON the outlaw category from horse
thief to an assassin. Thus the dogs
have their eyes on him all the time and
await orders to pounce on him.

THEIR PAY ENTIRELY TOO SMALL
Postal Clerks Sent to JaI-Can't Sup.
port Their Families.

Three postal clerks were sentenced
to prison recently in the federal court
at Chicago. Judge Bethea made the
sentences light because of the stories
the men told. Their statements were
reinforced by the declaration of the
superintendent of mail clerks in the
Chicago postoffice, that no man with
a family has any business entering
the postal service as a clerk.
Each of the three men sentenced
had family. Each has had sickness
in his family Each received $500 a
year as a salary. Each testified that
he stole because that would not pro-
vide food for his wife and children and
leave any margin for medicines. Two
of the clerks got two years each; the
other got three years. They were John
Semlow, H. |. Mills and John Shreves.
