MULE CAUGHT CHICKEN THIEF.
Where the Bulldog Was n Flat Fails


John B. Holland, breeder of fancy
fowls in West Caldwell. is the owner
OF mule named Barney which cap
tured thief who tried to rob the
cl1icken-house early yesterday. Bar
ney was bought for SIT a week ago,
but he is now worth much more, be-
cause OF his ability to catch and hold
burglar:.
Mr.. Holland turned Barney loose in
the chicken-yard on Thursday night
In company with high-priced bull
dog. which was supposed to be
watchdog. When he went to look
after his stock Yesterday morning Mr.
Holland found the mule with his dam
gerous end toward the wreck of
wooden cistern house. From beneath
the debris man. pleaded with Mr.
Holland to take the animal away.
When Mr.. Holland had tied the mule.
up and cleared away some of the
boards he found Hank" Skinner. a
neighbor, up to his waist In the
water. The man admitted that he had
tried to gain entrance to the chickens
house and had managed to get rid Of
the bulldog with piece of meat with
chloroform on 1t, but the mule. he
said. had chased him al over the place.
When he finally took refuge in the
cistern shack Barney tumbled it in
on top of him. forcing him into the
water. There Skinner had remained
since midnight unable to leave because5
of the lumber heaped on top of him
and because OF the threatening atti-5
tude Of the mule. Mr.. Holland kicked
the would-be chicken thief off
his place. The bulldog was founa
sleep ng near piece Of half-chewed
meat, but his owner says he doesn't
want him anyway.

however. count eight by honors, four

the partners hand count nine by hon
ors. and five honors in one hand count
ten by honors.
The value Of honors varies with the

instance, two by honors In diamonds

don't think 1t necessary to sug-
gest resolutions to be gentle; to be
honest. Plenty of other people will
do you that service. I have never
forgotten the colored preacher who
went to new charge. He started
in with a series Of sermons on the
Ten Commandments. and before the
course was half through, he was wait

expect to have taken for granted-and
that Is an entirely proper state Of
mind!
The year 1908 will be much like the
year 1907; with the same sort of duties,
the same sort OF opportunities. On any
crises that try the soul, by one of those
crisis that try the soul, by one of those
contingencies which make dramatic
display of herolsm possible. But the
greater part OF lifes duties will still

greater portion OF life's heroism will
still be unheralded and often unappre-

and you viii not be disappointed.

II two partners win all thirteen
tricks. they score 40 points for grand
slam: for making twelve tricks they
score 20 points for little slam. Chicane
Is scored by the partnered players when
one OF them has no card OF the trump
suit. Chicane counts two by honors.
In no trumps there Is no chlcane.
II an erroneous score affecting tricks

rected prior to the conclusion OF the
game In which 1t occurred.
Should m erroneous score affecting
honors. chicane. or slams be proved.
such mistake may be corrected at any
time before the score of the rubber
has been made up and agreed.
At the end OF the rubber both sides
add UP the total scores, the winners
adding an additional 100 points for
scoring the rubber. The lesser score
is then deducted from the greater, and
the difference gives the number tof
points won.
A specimen Of a score sheet at bridge
is appended. Such sheet, 1t will be
seen, Is divided into two parts By
means of thick line. the score by
tricks being marked on the lower por-
ton, and the score by honors, chicane
and slams on the upper. A thinner line
below the trick score divides the sep
arate games In each rubber. while the
score for honors, chicane and slams
Is scored upwards.
