One of the show places at Lakewood,
n. j., IS loultry farm where there are
more than 12.000 hens and $4,000 re-
Gently Matched incubator chickens. The
concern which owns this farm also has
another plant at Nineland, y. j., where
there are about 10000 hens and several
thousand chicks. and one at Eatontown,
with 5000 hens and 10000 young fowl.

Mrs. Charles Rounds, the wife of
farmer nj Wildwood HarbOr, Mich. has
just proven that as n detective and clever
thief catcher she ranks among the best
in the land. For some time thieves have
been raiding her chicken coop and those
of her neighbors and though repeated eff
forts Were made to locate the stolen
fowls and catch the thieves they were
without avail. Finally Mrs Rounds, be-
lieying that the thieving would continue
so long as chickens were left. thought
out plan which she put into execution.
She secured some red paint and brush
and gave each of her chickens n coat of
paint. The expected raid on her hen
merry took place and Mrs. Rounds kept
close tab on the markets. She was not
long in discovering the poultry with
painted legs and the identity of the fell
low who sold the poultry was easily as
certained
The life of John Kecne, a hand on the

and when near the barn was charged
by the animal and thrown to the ground.
The bull then made several attempts
to gore Keene, who was loudly calling
for help. His dog, hearing the call, ran
to his assistance and seized the bull by
the tail. The bull then turned its atten-
cape to the barn. Mr.. Keene suffered
four broken ribs and was badly bruised
about the bands and legs

Hill. H., mill owner, banker, real es-
tate man and Republican politician, went

money and negotiable papers. Frank
Will, a youth employed by the Mobile
& Ohio railway as coach cleaner, found
the wallet and restored II TO Mohlen-
brock. who rewarded the boys honesty
by handing him a dime. Mohlenbrock
walked from the train to a hotel, nearly

After something that happened in a
creamery near Livingston, n. j., the APP
plejack that has made New Jersey ia
nous will hardly have courage enough
to ferment again. For a can of milk ex-
ploded in the creamery and the lid of the
can struck Stephen Smith. innocent by
stander, in the face with such force that
his upper lip was cut. When a surgeon
arrived TO repair the lip he found it nee
essary to remove Smiths moustache, an
article of adornment of which Smith had
been justly proud News that milk had
become deadly weapon was received
with incredulity in New Jersey, where
it had been thought that applejack led
the league for destructiveneSs, followed
by giant powder and lyddite Curious
persons inquiring for details of the dis
aster were told that the can OF mix,
having been condemned in New York,
was returning to Livingston, where,
without warning, it exploded with a re-
port akin to that of a clap of thunder.
The loss consisted of the moustache. No
insurance.
