Outrageous Swindle and Firm Will
Have to Stand Trial in Chicago on

pear Against Yott.

sented, shot that Mrs Novack, who is

she deposited three dollars and on the
second two dollars. She was asked to
sign contract which she did not un-
derstand. being unable to read and
write the English language. She was
also requested to give references. which
she did Having made her deposit of IS
she was sent away without her pur-
chase, 1t having been explained to heI
that she would come into possession OF
them as soon as the references had
been looked up The further under
standing was that she should then pay
81 a week until the sum of $32 had
been paid
Received No Satisfaction.
Several days ago she called on the
firm for her purchase, but was tolc
she could not have it for the reason
that her references had been unsatis

manded the money she had deposited
but was told that it was used TOWARD
payment of looking up her references
She went back repeatedly but was sen
from one department TO another IL
search of her party, but with no sue
cess. Legal action followed, in tn,
course of which Judge Dicker scored
the firm for it's methods.

around, then instantly getting their

Miss Pope has taught thousands OF
boys and girls to love birds and be
kind to them. She has in New York
city bird hospital. where she doctors
sick birds and performs surgical Oper,
ations on those that need It. One day
three newsboys came into Miss Pope's
hospital bringing an English sparrow
with a broken leg. They had found
the poor thing almost dead In the
street. They had heard Of the bird

wanted to see how 1t was done. The
kind bird doctor allowed them to do so.
Miss Pope has II strange way with
