A singular custom of smuggling by
means of dummy baby was brought
to light by the city customs officials
at northern station in Vienna.

into Vienna and sold to poultry deal

by more honest dealers.

them carried baby tied, according to
the invariable custom, to a cushion

THE CHICKEN AND THE CAR
Not to Speak Of the Pony, the Poodle,
the Collie and Others Who Were
in the Mixup.

A sort of house-that-Ja Jack-built motor
case is reported in the Green Bag. 1t
says that as a motor car was passing
quietly through a village in New Eng
land chicken pursued by cat sud
denly crossed the road just in front
of the automobile.
The sudden dash of the chicken and
cat startled pony, driven by two lit
tie girls, one of whom had poodle in
her lap. The poodle jumped out to
give chase to the cat and fell on the
road right in front Of the car, causing
its driver to pull up suddenly.
Just as this happened collie travel
ing with it's mistress in the car leaped
,out and chased the poodle, which
frightened the pony SO that it bolted
toward the car Seeing this, the
chauffeur drove toward the gutter, but
as the dogs we're fighting there had to
take another course colliding finally
with stone wall and totally wrecking
the machine.
The owner of the car brought an ac-
tion for damages against the owner OF
the chicken, claiming that 1t was re-
judgment the court argued that there
was no doubt as to the chicken having
been the proximate cause OF the acci-
dent, for had it not crossed the road
the cat would not have scared the
pony; had the pony not been scared
the poodle would not have got out
of the pony trap; had the poodle not
done SO the automobile would not
have stopped and the collie and the
poodle would not have been in the
gutter; had the collie and poodle not
been in the gutter the cat would not
have hung round to see things
through; had the cat not remained on
the scene the chicken would not have
been trying to scale the wall, and had
the chicken not been trying to do this
the chauffeur would have kept his
nerve and saved the machine from ac-
cident
Yet though the chicken caused the
accident the chickens act was not in
itself violent or dangerous. This
chicken would doubtless have made
tender broiler; it was gentle and in
offensive, and not being ferae naturae
It's destruction of the automobile was
unconscious and free from malice
Therefore the chicken not having ex-
ceeded its common law rights the ac-
ton could not be maintained and Judg-
ment was accordingly entered for the
defendant.

Curiosity Suueiched,

At dinner the professor of history
was seated between two young ladies',
who, in accordance with their training
in the art of conversation, sought to
draw him out upon the subject TN
which he was most interested. They
did not meet with much success; his
answers were short-"Yes," "Oliver
Cromwell" NO. 1892" and the like
Finally one of them in desperation
ventured:
professor, we were wondering
only this afternoon, and none or us
could remember: How many children
did Mary, Queen of Scots, have?'
This was too much. Madam, said
the professor, facing her with sque!ch'
ing dignity, Il am not a scandal

Divides Court.

Moberly, Mo-, Jan. 19.-The Ran
dolph county bar met yesterday
and voted in favor dividing the
judicial circuit into two circuits,
Boone and Galloway to be one and
Howard and Randolph to compose
the other.
This circuit (the NINTH was LAID
out in 1872, and has never been
changed. Since that time the cir
cult has so changed in wealth, pop
ulation and litigation that it seems
necessary that two judges be called
on to preside over the courts.
Committees on resolutions and
on legislation were appointed to
assist in the work of getting the
necessary legislation through the
senate and house.

They Will Come Back.

One thing very noticeable about
Missouri is the people who were so
very anxious to find a home some
where else few years ago are now
as anxious to get back. There is
something about Missouri that can
not be described, a sort of wedding
of the person to the state that can
not be divorced, in fact, it seldom
ever seeks separation. Somehow
Missouri has charms that cannot be
forgotten and benefits that have no
equal This is one great reason of
its general prosperity and its splen-
did worth to its people. If it is new
sights some people, want, all they
need to do is to stick to their busi-
ness and then take a trip to some
other country once or twice a year.
This will pay a great deal better
than to sell your Missouri posses
ions at a sacrifice and 90 to the ex-
pense or locating in Scme other
country for a few months and then
return to the old home.
Missouri has charms that cannot
be forgotten and there are so many
of them that they cover all defects
and shortcomings the state may
have. 1t is said that love covers q
multitude of sins, love for country
is doing that very thing every day

Farmers and Advertising.

Almost anything can be sold by
advertising. Down in Florida man
is getting rich by advertising live
aligators. He sells them to mer-
chants who put them in show win
dows to attract attention. The time
will come when farmers will adver-
tise special products of their farms.
One Wisconsin farmer, named
Jones, has become famous in spite
of his advertising farm sausages.
They are good sausages, but it was
only when he let their goodness be
known through spending money in
advertising to send four pounds by
prepaid express for $1.O0 that he
built up, a big business. There is
no reason why farmers should be
idle in winter, advertising may
bring profitable business right to
the farm. - Keokuk Gate City.

A Humiliatine Confession.

A doubtless inspired" Washing
ton dispatch in The Tribune renews
the bluster which was heard a
month ago Immediately after the
insult to Congress in the message
of December s:
1T is known to a few at least
that the President has damaging
evidence regarding certain members
of the House, but that he has thus
far refrained from using it, and
that he would have ignored the ac-
ton taken with regard to his mes
sageS had the lower house gone no
further"
This is a frank confession by the
President or his friends that he has
accumulated through the Secret
Service, for purpose of political
blackmail what he regards as
damaging evidence" against men,
bers of the House. If this evidence
was such as to justify indictments
he has broken his oath in with
holding that evidence from the
proper Federal prosecutors. He has
not executed the laws. If the evil
dence is merely intended to embar-
ras or injure his opponents in the
House he has suppressed it, as he
now threatens to publish it, for the
purpose Of silencing them, of pre-
venting their free action.
There could be no more humiliat-
ing confession and it is made by
the Presidents friends on his behalf
of his guilty use of the Secret
Service as a machine for personal
government, the intimidation of
Congress and the qualification of
his private malice. New York
