Something Of the exact behavior
demanded from young people by those
In authority IN the early days or the
nineteenth century is brought to notice
in the biography or Peter Edes, a
pioneer printer in Maine. MIR. Edes
had an apprentice, James Orrock, who
enjoyed a walk on Sunday, after a
week Of indoor employment.
Mr.. Edes soon found III that this
was not permitted at Bangor and
wrote to a friend of the trouble caused
him by his apprentices apparently in
nocent amusement.
"you must know" he writes, that
the people are very strict on this day,
and will not let men walk out, much
less boys. James was strolllng about
and was ordered home by the tything-
men, but he would not obey them. a
complaint was lodged against mi on
the next day, and ! should have been
obliged to pay a fine had not Judge
Dutton pleaded in my behalf that l
did not approve of such conduct, and
SO got clear"
Another interesting incident In con-
nection with life III Bangor at this
time Is an advertisement which APP
peared in Mr.. Edes' paper, he Bangor
Weekly Register, stating that:
= t.E & NJ. Il. Edes have opened a
school in the room ove the Register
Office for the instruction Of young
misses and small children in the use
full and ornamental branches OF edu-
cation"
The terms were: "orthosraphy and
plain work II cts. per week; writing,
English grammar, Geography with the
use Of maps, Composition, ornamental
needle work % cents per week" This
was probably II of the first schools
in Maine for teaching young ladies,
exclusively, In the branches OF educa-
ton, and also including plain work and
fancy n~eedlework.

pie is all wrong. His theory is that
the splgot should point inwardly. If
the now Of water from the ordinary
vertical spisot be very great, the wa
ter is sure to splash over the sides of
the sink. This objection is overcome
with the improved spigot shown here.
The discharge Of water strikes the
sink at an angle. n is detected IN
to the back and bottom, practically
none splashing to the front or sides.
Whether this faucet would be service,
able in all cases Is very questionable

As c1rCuses are usually wintered away
from big cities, the animal keepers are
forced to provide exercise for them
and thus keep them in condition. OF

the cat family, take their only exer-

walled Up Alive.

A severe sentence was recently pass
I'd upon a sparrow by a flock Of blue
birds. A bird-box for martins and
bluebirds is erected on n pole a short
distance from Fort Lee, and every sen
son a pair Of bluebirds takes posses
sion of 1t. This year they bnilt their
nest In the box, and the female laid one
egg. To celebrate the event she hoped
out OF the box. and took a turn or two
around the field.
When she returned a sparrow was
In the box, quietly sitting upon the egg.
The bluebird demonstrated at such out
rageous proceedings. and tried to per
suade the intruder to leave. Then she
became angry and pecked savagely at
the sparrow, but the sparrow had the
advantage, as the box protected 1t on
every side, and the hole was only large
enough to admit one at a time.
A flock of angry bluebirds responded
to the call Of the distressed mother,
and a council of wal was apparently
held. Two or three OF the bluebirds
stationed themselves at the entrance tt
the box, and closely guarded the spar
row. The others flew ns7ay to a neigh
boring mud hole. but soon returned
carrying their bills full OF stiff, muddy
clay. One by one they deposited their
load at the hole and began to plaster
1t up, working rapidly, and bringing
straw and small twigs to work into the
mud and stiffen 1t.
The sparrow did not realize the
meaning OF all this fuss until the hole
wal nearly closed up. Then it began
10 nutter around and struggle vainly to
escape from its prison; but the senti-
nels pecked at it and drove it back,
until the hole was completely covered
No, and the sparrow's doom was sealed.

ALLEGED HORSE

Clever Work of New Cop"
Causes Arrest of Will
lam Lee.

There was a peculiar mix-up, involv-
First Criminal Court and the detective
bureau, when William Lee was ar
raigned today on the charge of disor-
derby conduct. Lee was arrested
through clever work on the part of
Policeman Martin Mathematician, who
was only recently appointed a member
of the force and assigned to the First
Precinct.
While patrolling his beat carly to-
day, Reichenbeicher saw Lee driving a
horse n surrey at a rapid rate along
Parkhurst street. and the disparity be-
tween the value of the outfit and the
appearance of the driver excited his
~suspicion. He called upon Lee to halt,
but the latter whipped up the horse
and attempted to escape Reichen-
beioher-- gave chase and, coming
abreast of the surrey. vaulted into the
rea seat. He placed Lee under arrest
and brought him to the First Precinct
station. When the prisoner was ar
raignede today, ]. Krichman, of Clover
and Van Buren, streets. the owner of
the horse and surrey. had not put In
an appearance and Lee was fined $50
for disorderly conduct. After the case
had been disposed of. Krichman ar
rived in court and stated that he
wished to lodge a%charge of horse
stealing against Lee.
At about the same time a telephone
message. received from Captain
Carroll, requesting that Lee be brought
to police headquarters. and questioned.
The tangle was finally Strengthened
out by Acting Judge vreeland, who
Cancelled the fine, ordered Lee remandeti
and later look a complaint of horse
stealing from Krichman. the owner.
Lee was held under bail to await the
action Of the grand Jury.
