MINNESOTA woMAN's ODD PET.
"Tumpe," Hen, Is a Precocious and
Pri

"Tumpe," Hen, Is Il Precocious and
Privileged Fowl.
If not as unique as a horned toad
which some women have been known
to adopt as their protege, pet hen is
more or less out of the ordinary, Mrs
O. f. Shoberg is the possessor of such
a pet, says the Minneapolis Journal.
The hens name is ''Tumpe."
She reigns in solitary splendor in
the back yard, occasionally making her
way to the front, and jealousy pro-
tests her rights to inv estigate the flow
er beds against any other intruders.
About two years ago Tumpe's pa
rents were found in a basket on the
road, where they were evidently spilled
out in some passing vehicles, probably
an automobile, for they were no COM
mon breed.
They were rescued and brought to
the house at which Tumpe now lives.
As it was in the winter and there was
no other place for them, they were
kept in the kitchen and treated quite
as one of t. mily.
This undoubtedly developed certain
human instincts which descended to
Tumpe.
For instance, the cock when he
heard the voice of the mistress of the
house to whom he was devOtedly at
tached, would begin a clucking sound
which he wouldn't cease until she APP
peared.
Tumpe now shows her fathers pro-
clivity in this direction. Tumpe was
the only one of a brood Of eleven chick
ems which were Matched 10 survive the
terrible carnage inflicted by the neigh
boris cats one memorable day, the pa
rents themselves succumbing. This is
the reason of her solitary state.
Tumpe is half game and that ac-
counts for her fighting instinct. She is
as good as a watchdog and will not
allow any strange person to enter the
woodshed without the family's hearing
from her.
Tumpes chief stunt is to climb into
her mistress lap, where she will carry
on the most absorbing conversation
with her in which she explains to her
all about the different species of worms
she discovers and tells her just what
she thinks of the Plymouth Rocks next
door When her mistress talks she sits
and cocks her weather eye in the most
intelligent manner and listens respect
fully and profoundly. When her mis-
tress tells her to go to sleep she obeys

Poe,s Devotion to His Wife.

No picture Of Poe in Philadelphia
would be complete, writes T.. =. ODER
holtzer in Book News, if we do not
remember his poetic attachment for
his girl wife and his love for high lit
erary ideals, so faithfully evidenced
in his own writing and in his criticism
of the work Of other men. "His love
for his wife was a sort of rapturous
worship of the spirit of beauty which
he felt was fading before his eyes"
Mr.. Graham wrote after the poets
death: II have seen him lowering
around her when she was i'll, with all
the fond fear and tender anxiety of
a mother for her irstborn. her slight
est cough causing in him a shudder, a
heart chill that was visible. l rode
out one summer evening with them.
and the remembrance of his watchful
eyes eagerly bent upon the slightest
change Of hue in that loved face
haunts me yet as the memory of a
sad strain" Recollecting that when
she was gone honest sorrow mingled
with the poverty that hung about him
like a thick cloud through which no
sun shone, we can afford to forgive
much in those last misspent days.

That while I personally do not at all

mission on public ownership.
'The engineers and experts worked
In pairs, one Of each pair representing
municipal ownership and the other
representing private ownership. This
nearly doubled the cost, but resulted
In securing a body Of facts, signed

TALLoW SALvORS.
The Men Who skim Grease on the
Sea at Launching Time.

Sea at Launching Time.
One of the most anxious moments for
battieship builders arrives when a new
vessel is launched. And, by the way OF
compensation, this is the time when
the tallow salvors are joyous.
The day fixed for the ceremony Of
launching is reached, and, as usually
happens when a battleship Is to be
launched, a big crowd assemblies. The
battleship rests on "slipways," down
which she will glide from the dock
yard into the water. The only thing
that prevents the ship from sliding in
to the water before the proper time is
the dog shores"-large pieces OF wood
that keep in position the cradle upon
which the battleship rests. When the
cord that releases the dog shores is
cut the battleship glides down the slip.
ways into the water amid the cheers
OF the spectators and the playing of
the band
The slipways have to be made as
smooth and as slippery as it is pos
sible to make them, so that nothing
shall prevent the battleship from glid-
ing into the water safely. 1t is the
greasy substance with which these
slipways are covered that calls forth
the Joy Of the tallow salvors.
Since the slightest mishap at the
launching would almost certainly prove
to be a very costly matter, no pains
are spared to insure that everything,
including the ship, goes smoothly, and
the greasing Of the slipways is prop
erly regarded as an important task.
The material used in the process is
generally tallow mixed with linseed oil
or soft soap, and this is smeared on TO
the ways to a thickness of about two
inches. Every inch of the ways must
be covered carefully, and a host of
men are employed in the work. First
Of all the tallow is spread on with
trowels, so as to give a smooth and
fat surface, and then the soft soap
or linseed oil is poured on top. Be
tween one and one and a half tons
of the mixture is used in the case of
a battleship, and the cost of launch
ing amounts to a good sum, something
like $500 or $1,000.
The tallow salvors get ready to reap
the harvest.
Crowding the water just where the
ship is to be launched will be seen n
number of small rowing boats belong
ing to the tallow salvors. AS the YES
sci glides into the water the tallow
which has chung to the keel and bot
tom plates from the ways becomes
loosened and floats to the waters sur
face in great masses.
Then the tallow salvors swarm
around. Barred TO the shoulder, they
reach over the sides Of their boats
and proceed to gather in as much Of
the floating tallow as they can. Some
Of them even have small hand nets
to help them, but in any case it is only
a question of a few minutes before
the boats are covered, both inside and
out, with the slippery, oily mixture.
while in the center small heaps Of
fat gradually arise. No ordinary per-
son could remain in the boats, but the
| tallow salvOrs are not at all particular
They row off with their loads and
| dispose of them TO the local soap
makers. Sometimes as much as e. or
f3 can be made by very agile tallow
