LooKINk FOR HER BROTHER
Young Woman n Town Today on
Trail Of Fugitive Brother

A prepos sessing young woman who
gave her name as Miss Cenori, was In
town today looking for her brother
whom she claims passed through this
village about tive weeks ngo having
been informed in Albany to that eff.
feet
She states that she is from Newport
News, Va, and hat some time ~. her
brother stole god watch AMI cou-
pie of valuable rings from hec and left
home. The rings she is not so anx.
ious about as the watch which Il
seems belongs to a third party TO
whom she seems very anxious to re-
turn it.
Her brother and herself she claims
are cigar makers and while in town
she visited all the stores manufactur-
ing cigars. Those who have seen the
woman, however, do not believe that
she is person used TO hard labor as
her bearing is one OF refinement and
culture.
As far as known she found no clue
here, concerning the whereabouts Of
her brother, as no one seems to have
seen a man tallylng with her descrip-
ton about town in the past few days.
She has placed the case In the hands
OF Detective u. 8. Harris who Is now
working on the details.

KEEP THE BOOSTERS MuzzLep.
Simple contrlvance That Means Much
to Light Sleepers.

They were like fairy helmets-lit.
tie wire helmets no bigger than a wal.
nut.
They are rooster muzzles." said the
city farmer, as he led the way past the
pea beds on the window slns. the pots-
to field on the back porch and the
aourishing mushroom crop under the
clubhouse.
Even so Muzzles, not to prevent
roosters from blting-for even the
gamest fowl has never been known to
snap-but to prevent them from crow
ing. See here"
They had reached the tiny chicken
run. The city farmer caught a roost-
er and gently slipped muZzle over Its
fierce head.
Now" said he, ut cant crow. II
can't wake the neighbors with It's
crows at daybreak. Hence, thanks to
this muzzle, II Is at last possible to
keep chickens In the most crowded
city quarters.
Harrison Weir invented the roost'
er muzzle. A rooster. to crow, you see,
stands erect flaps his wings, throws
back his head and opens his beak
wide. II he can't open his beak no
crow can come from his little red
throat"
