"DON'T GIVE HIM ANY JAM"
Tag Placed on Boy Who Is Shipped
From London to Bisbee,
Arizona.

New York.--A sturdy scven-yc1r-old
English lad. carrying big basket full
of eatables, started from New York
for Bisbee Ariz., the other day on the
second and last stage of a lonesome
journey from England. Pinned 10 the
boys coat was a big tag reading;
This boy is going TO loving moth
er in Arizona Treat him as you would
have your own boy treated Don't
give him any Jam
The boy is Jimmy Holland. Possibly
he is about the only bog in the word
who would stand for sian warning
people not to give him any jam. He
doesn't care. He hates jam.
Jimmy came to New York on the
Teutonic. He Travelled across the
ocean in care of the steward and was
the pet of the boat.
One year ago Jimmy's mother, Mrs.
f. j. Holland, travelling from England
TO Arizona, stopped over night at tho
Star hotel, and Mr.. Blake, the propri-
etor, promised her then that he would
look out for her son when he camo
along later
Mr.. Blake got a letter n few days
ago telling him that Jimmy was on
the way, and to meet him at the pier
In the letter Mrs. Holland was par
ticular in stating that Jimmy must
not be allowed to get off tho train to
buy anything.
When Jimmy was questioned about
1t he said his mother knew he did not
like jam and was afraid that ii might
embarrass people If they offered 1t to
him and he refused 1t.

LOT SALT MYSTERY.

This Savant.
Says Formations OF That Sort Were
Common In Red Sea Countrywide

torical Traditions.
zh, by clineiin.t. washington. D. q

Philadelphia. All this mystery
about Mrs. Lot turning INTO salt isn't
any mystery at all
It's as plain as daylight-so plain
that a 12-year-old girl discovered the
flaw that sacred historians have been
making for a number of thousand
years.
Prof. Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins
university enlightened the world on
the common error in respect to the
Lots the other afternoon in an address
before the American Philosophical so
ciety.
There is no mystery about the
story Of Lots wife turning into a
pillar of salt" he said MANY OK
plorers have seen pillars of salt near
the Red sea. They are natural forma
tons, and undoubtedly the basis for
the fable. My little girl. who is Il
years old, threw new light upon the
story as told in the Bible. She asked
me how 1t was that Lot could look
back and see what had happened to
his wife and not himself be turned
into salt"
The fsraclites never saw Egypt
Prof Haupt declared, and he pro
ceeded to demolish many of the his
torfcal traditions of the Hebrew race
II was the Edmonites who were in
Egypt, he said, and they were the de-
scendauts Of Esau, son of Abraham by
his bond woman, and progenitors of
the Israelitcs
The famous burning bush was easy

TAVERN IS RAzED.
Old BvIrs Head Hoste,ry In Chicago
Demolished to Make Room
for Store.

Chicago.-The old Bu!l's Head tav-
ern Is no more. Its demolition was
completed recently. A big store will be
erected on the site. The ancient struc.
ture was built more than GO years
ago and was the second hotel on the
West side. the first being the Green
Tree tavern. which was RACED many
years ago.
With the passing OF the old Bulls
Head, memories of early days In Chi,
cago are revived In the minds of many
OF the city's older residents. When
built in 1S4S the Bulls Head tavern
was one of the most pretentious struc-
lures In town. It's builder Matthew
Latin, was one OF the pioneers of Chi
cago.
The hotel was built with the locat.
ing of the Bulls Head stockyards at
the junction of West Madison street.
Ogden avenue and Ashland avenue.
During the first five years of It's ex-
istence the only means OF transporta'
ton to that remote" part of the city
was by private conveyance or on foot.
In 1853 Frank Parmalee Instituted a
bus line from Lake and state streets
to the Bulls Head tavern, the round
trip consuming almost half a day.
Street cars make the round trip now
in less than half an hour.
With the removal of the stockyards
to the south side, the old hostelry be-
gan to wane In popularity.
More than rs years ago the tavern
was removed to West Harrison street,
opposite the county hospital. and had
been occupied as dwelling and con-
fectionery store. The Washingtonian
Home now occupies the original site
of the Bulls Head

HOUSE A QUAIL TRAP

coveys--Dash Themselves
to Death.

Topeka, Kan.-C. o. Aspegren, {
Mcpherson county farmer, painted his
house yellow, and because of that fact
he dimes on broiled quail, Six times
this winter this newly painted house
has proved yeritable death trap &c
coveys of quail, the flocks having
FLASHED against the south side of the
house and each time from four to ter
4 birds have been killed
Y The queer Incident was repeated
! when flock of quail coming from the
south struck the house with almost
bullet,like force. Several of the birds
struck the glass of the house, ana tho
impact not only shattered tho large
pane of glass. but the birds and pieces
OF glass struck the opposite side OF
the room. Six of the birds We're dead
and four others we're so badly stunned
that Mr.. Aspegren picked them up
! At one time flock Just missed the
top OF the house and one bird was
killed by striking against the roof
The next time the flock passed. be
tween the house and the windmill, and
one bird which was struggling to one
side was caught in the death trap
Again the flock coming over clumr
of trees from the south struck the
side of the house. Seven were killed
and four others were so stunned that
they were caught by Mrs Aspegren.
Mr.. Aspegren cannot account for
this strange fatality to quail, which he
protects on his farm. They may be
color blind, he said, but the straw
like color of the house and the fact
that II is partly screened by trees on
the south. from which direction the
flocks OF quail come, is the better ex

low. and very swift, and he thinks that
In coming over the trees and bushes
from the south they do not see the
house until it is too late to turn.

terfng periods at his home. NJ
Aspegren has invited in his nearest
neighbors to enjoy with him a quail
dinner. The state, law is very strict
in its prohibition of quail dinners in

that he has right TO eat these birds

A CLUB FOR WOMEN

Moderate.

St Louis.-One hundred self-snp

women will be eligible to club which
S. +. Arlington. well-known ST
Louis real estate man, is projecting.
Bachelor maids, school-teachers, art
lists, private secretaries, music teach
ers, or any young woman of good char
acter able to pay ten to twelve dollars
month for a room with first-class
club accommodations may obtain men,
bership in the club. There are at
least 1000 young women of this class
in st. Louis. Mr.. Arlington believes.
who would appreciate such an insti-
tuition.
II will not be a charitable project,
neither is II planned to make big
money for those who invest in It, A
chance may be given the members OF
eventually becoming part owner In the
building and its furnishings.
Prominent st. Louis men and wom-
en-, some of whom are members of the
largest clubs, have talked with Mr.. Ad-
dington about his idea, and have APP
proved II. He believes he will get
financial support from many OF these,
although all the money needed for
carrying out his plans is in his hands.
Mr. Arlington owns the lot on which
IT is proposed 10 erect the club house.
1t is about half block west of Taylor
avenue, on the south side of Washing
ton boulevard The lot is 75x200 feet.
and the property is worth Sis foot.
The total cost of the club will not
exceed $4,000. The building Mr.. Ad-
dington has in mind is to be not more
than three stories in height, and will
contain so sleeping rooms.
Mr. Arlington said:
Il have had this scheme in mind sew
eral months. 1t is not going TO be a
charity in the ordinary sense. The
women | seek to accommodate are
those who would not accept charity.
1T is not planned to provide for
shop girls That class of girls,
while just as deserving as the Others,
already is provided for amply in st.
Louis.
The ones l hope to interest in club
life are those young women who hold
responsible positions, such as school
teachers or professional women, like
artists and musicians, and women with
enough means to be classed as indie
pendent
Il will want for club members wom-
en- who cannot afford to live in the
first-class hotels.
"On the lot | have there is enough
room 10 build a club house which will
besides the sleeping quarters,
a cafe, gymnasium. bowling alley and
other features designed for mental and
physical recreation, think that all of
this can be accomplished and that the
cost of living in the club can be fixed
midway between the prices charged in
Il flrst-class hotel and in a boarding
house, say from ten TO twelve dollars
a month for a room for each member"
