FOILED BY GUINEA HEN.
Horse Thieves Frightened Away After
Their Elaborate Preparation.

South Norwalk Comm Dispatch to New
York Press.
Guinea hens are to be substituted for
electrical burglar alarm appliances in
most of the handsome country homes in
this section. The pioneer in the move
ment is Alfred Hartog, a. wealthy New
Yorker whose summer home Is in East
avenue this city. If 1t had not been for
the six guinea hens which were roosting
in his barn, he would have lost his best
team, handsome pair of grays and also
two sets of harness ana an expensive
carriage Friday morning. The horse
thieves had cut all the electric burglar
alarm wires. The also had chloroformed
the watchdog and placed pillow boots on
the feet of the horses to muffle their
tread as they were led out of the Hartog
grounds Everything that Goth century
horse thieves could do to get away with
the horses without arousing the Hartogs
and their neighbors had been done.
The thieves just were about to drive
away when one of them, who had gone
back into the barn to look for something,
stumbled against the guinea roost. In
stantly there was a racket that could
be heard half mile away. One guinea
started to cackle and the others joined In.
, The chorus sounded something like a
giant burglar rattle would sound. The
IIartogs heard 1t; their neighbors heard
II, and in a few seconds the entire East
avenue section was aroused. Houses
shook as portly men and women leaped
from their beds. Lights began to CLEAN
in many windows. The horse thieves
were frightened SO badly they forgot all
a,out driving the grays away. They took
to their heels. and were seen vauting
hedges and fences in their wild efforts to
put as many miles as they could between
themselves and the flock of guineas.

After many winding passageways
they have come to the department

eyes. One would speak here only
words that are soft and sweet.
Outside, ejust beyond reach, are dear

OLDEST WESTERN STATE.
Wisconsin Is Celebrating 275th Ami
versary of Its Settlement.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Pennsylvania is apt to pride itself upon
its honorable antiquity. Not the first of
the states to be settled II Is undoubted-
ly the greatest and most important now
and at all times, since aspirations for
political liberty were born this side
the water But there are others. Wis
ronsin. for instance, Is just celebrating
its 275th anniversary. Not as a state, of
course, but of its first settlement by
white men, In 1854, when the first white
man settled in Wisconsin mot for long,
there was not white man In what Is
now Pennsylvania. There was a feeble.
struggling colony on the James a small
settlement at Plymouth. and other pion-
GERS along the coast. 1t was almost 50
years later that the first organized set
Element under Penn was made in this
state, and by that time there were many
white men in Wisconsin.
We are apt to look upon the French of
today as enfeebled and unambitious.
That is simply because they have given
up development of colonies outside of
Africa and are content with their own
country, which is large enough for the
population and is thrifty in the extreme.
But 300 years ago the Frenchmen set no
limit to their ambitions. Their magma
ton conquered the world and they set
out to DO as much of it as possible. The

renee and the great lakes into the Mis-
sissippi valley for well nigh on to $50
years before a Briton ever crossed the
Alleghenies. There was thriving
French settlement at Green Bay, Wis.
before Philadelphia was laid out.
The intention of the French was to
make the new empire the great asset of
the kingdom. On that point there was
no hesitation by any of the kings. Do
nestle troubles interfered with their
plans, and finally brought them to
nought. Even Napoleon gave up his
dream of western empire with pang.
Had not Pitt come to the fore in time 1t
Is safe to say that the seven years war
would have ended disastrously and we
might now be inheritors of French rather
than of British traditions. There is in
Wisconsin a remnant of descendants of
the early French voyagers and traders,
men of great courage and fertile in re-
source. Following the national custom
they made alliances with the Indians.
and some of the proudest names in tho
history of France are now borne by those
who are commonly called Indians.

A WOMAN LEGISLATOR.
Mrs. Alma v. Lafferty Tells of Her Elk
periences Among Lawmakers.

After three months experience as the
only woman member Of the Colorado
legislature among SO men-64 in the
house and 35 in the senate am more

and Justice of woman suffrage, and |
believe that whenever it is possible 1t

her state, says Alma V. Lafferty, In the
Delineator for September. Until now
I never realized how badly the mother
heart and the appreciation Of the hui
man side of every question are needed
in our lawmaking assemblies. When
1t comes to making laws for the pro-
lection of our children and for the bet
torment of conditions for women, who
is more capable or better fitted to peg
form the task than the women tsem-
selves?
It was with much reluctance that l
consented to allow my name to come
before the convention for nomination
on the democratic legislative ticket
The nomination came to me, unsOlfc-
tied on my part, at the request OF the
women of the party, and it met with no
opposition in the convention. / made
a strenuous campaign, and often spoke
at three different meetings In one
evening; first, perhaps, in some little
old public hall in the lower part of the
city; next, in one of the prominent the
aires, and last, at a drawing room
meeting in one of the fashionable
houses in the best residence district,
where we would have music and dain-
ty refreshments.
The drawing room meeting was like
ly to be a society function, at which
the invitation might read: ITO meet
the coming election issues" On cleo
ton day, accompanied by party of
friends, l went in an automobile from
one voting place to another, at each
finding quite as many women as men.
In fact, in Colorado the women are

Sun Cooking.

n-cooking-roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 800 years. There are
sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil O
soup to perfection. They are only used
however. by scientists. A sun stove con-
ssts mainly of a mirror spherical mir
ror, on joint. There Is also reflector
The place for pot or plate is so situated
that the mirrors rays can be focused on
1t accurately.
A German, Daron Tcherhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began In 1867 ia
boil water. and in 1868 he had very good
success in boiling eggs. Sir John Her
schel and Button are other famous names
associated with sun cooking. In Califor-
MIA various sun cooks have boiled a gal
lon of water in 20 minutes, roasted meat
In two hours and poached eggs in 10 min
utes-quite as good time as the ordinary
fire makes.
An odd thing about meat roasting by
sun rays is that 1t has an unpleasant
taste This is avoided by the insertion
of a plate of yellow glass between meat
and mirror. In all solar stoves the sheet
of yellow glass figures.

From the Delineator.
Hurry is the devil" says an Arabian
proverb. Although We understand thai
the Oriental has constitutional preju-
dice against haste it might be well for
us to consider the above proverb seri-
ously applied to ourselves as nation.
The morning paper gives us daily
list of deaths by suicide. apoplexy and
insanity-men In the prime of lie
rushing into eternity, desperate be-
cause because they are left behind in
the race or driven mad by the rush OF
the business world.
What Is the matter? Is 1t the chang
ing climate that stimulates the nerv-
Gus system to abnormal activity? Is 1T
the struggle for money? Is 1t the de-
sire to initiate others-or is it habit?
A distinguished foreigner In writing
has impressions of us says that we are
not accomplishing anything more than
If we were quiet; that We are doing 1t

tivity We take ourselves too serious

creating confusion, is not the one who
is doing the most work in the world.
Hurry means physical tension some
| where, and exhaustion afterward. Hur-
~ suggests bad planning or careless
execution Hurry means loss OF dig
nifty and power. Hurry means fear,
and fear is the greatest enemy to sue
cess.
Can We stop hurrying? Some answer

If we cannot conserve our strength, at
least in small ways. Let us take
thought and begin to reform. AS ten
sion expresses itself in bodily move
ments, we must first learn muscular
control. Relaxation means letting go.
and while we are learning to let go we
are getting ourselves trained to take
hold again when the time comes, for
relaxation teaches far more than rest.
In vain people try to attain a calm
manner with tense body. When We
have relaxed the muscles at will we
may easily become quiet in manner
and peaceful in spirit. The bodily con-
dition is the basis of real rest.
We will not hurry when we know
the danger to the nervous system:
when We realize fully that We gain
power by working quietly; When We
believe that we are living in eternity
now.
