BITTER DOG FIGHT IN COURT
sheep-kiIIIng Canine Attacks Farm.
er's Pet In court--Woman Re-
tains Her Dog.

Ovid, Mich.-A justice court was
thrown into a panic by a dog fight the
other day during the hearing of a dog
case. Mrs. Mae Cameron was on trial
on the charge of harboring a sheep
killing dog. She formerly owned two
dogs whose particular delight, 1t is
alleged, was to raid locks Of sheep.
John Holland suffered the loss Of nine
sheep killed and several injured. 9th
or farmers also suffered losses. Mrs.
Cameron finally put one of the dogs to
death, but refused to kill the other.
Complaint was made and she was
arrested and hailed into court. She
brought the dog into court with her.
One of the numerous interested spec
tators also brought along his dog. The
two dogs met and were soon mixed
up in a chewing contest. Women
screamed and rushed for the door,
while men wrestled with the canine
combatants to pull them apart
The dogs separated and the hearing
proceeded. Mrs. Cameron was ad-
judged guilty and taxed $38.40. At
last accounts she still had her dog.

0 W VALUE OF THE HEN
II 1t Could Be Capitalized Its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

It is claimed that the average pro.
duction of a hen is 200 eggs per an
mum, but it is safe to assume that the
actual is much below this figure, the
Wall Street Journal says. Adopting
the very conservative figure of 120
eggs per hen per annum, we find on
the above basis of production there
are $50, OO0, 900 laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro-
duction of 10, 900, O0O 1000 eggs.
At the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for
maintenance and ten cents for de-
probation, which latter would wipe
out the market value of the hen in
four years, irrespective of salvage
when the period of production is over,
the net profit per hen per annum
amounts to $3.50.
This profit, according to Wall street
standards, capitalized on a five per
cent. income basis, would place a
nominal value of $50 on each hen. For
the 150,000,0 900 hens this would amount
to the enormous total of $4,000, 600, 900.
That the American hen can return
a yield Of five per cent. per annum on
a capitalization of $4,000, 100000 ap-
pears nothing short of remarkable,
but such is the case. The entire out
standing capital obligations of the rail-
roads of the United States in 1907
were less than four times this amount,
or SIC. 082, 146,6 83, while the total paid
out in interest and dividends repre-
sented but 4.05 per cent. Of this
amount. |

BOY GETS OLD sTRADWARIUs
Mrs. Joseph Drexel Presents Instru.
ment Valued at $4,000 to Young
italian Musician.

Philadelphia.-Few %violtnists, even
after they become great, own a real
S~tradivarius, but this good fortune
has fallen to Domanico Bove, the
young italian of this city, whose
career, many believe, will rival
Kubelik's.
Most interesting of all Is the fact
that this musical treasure was the
property of the late Antonin Dvorak,
the composer, from whose widow the
violin was recently purchased by
Mrs. Joseph Drexel and by her pre-
eented to the youthful Bove. Mrs.
Drexel is widely known as a patron
of music, and. interested as she has
been in the young v%iolinist's r It
Is but natural that she should choose
him for the honor of owning q 6tra-
divarius.
1t is whispered that Mrs. Drexel
paid $4,000 for the instrument, which
gives an idea of what such a Gift
means in prosa1c dollars and cents.

land owners castle and pretend to
carry the girl away by force. Vojtila
promised to take her to America, say
ing he would make a name there by
his playing.
A night attack on the castle was
duly made. but, having secured the
girl, the gypsies proceeded to plumber
the castle while the girl and her lover
fled in a caravan. The land owner
and his servants armed themselves,
killed two Of the gypsies. wounded
Others and finally forced them to re-
treat. Then, when order was restored
the land owner first noticed that his
daughter was missing.
After several days search the girl

AsCRIBE HIS HEALTH TO PIE
Man Of 81, Straight as Soldier and
Spry, Gives Secret Of His
Longevity.

st. Louis, Mo.-The most remark
able man in Belleville, Benjamin West,
who is 81, years old, straight as a sol
der and spry as a kitten, has at last
given the world the secret of his
longevity.
Here it is::
PIE.
Despite the fact that pie, in a
double sense, is about the shortest
thing there is, 1t will make you live
longest If you stick to it-as a steady
diet, Mr.. West says.
Any kind of pie will do, from
Washington pie to lemon meringue,
All are equally stimulating and help
full. says this wonderful old man.
Mr.. West was formerly a merchant
in Belleville, but he retired in 1884
and has since lived in Minneapolis.
Twice each year he comes to Belleville
to visit his son Robert.
I'm going to have a centennial my.
self In three years and I want to get
some pointers" he said.
RULES Of health? Well, / can't say
that I have any. I have just lived q
prudent life.
II never miss my three big meals
a day. Next to pie I like vegetables
best as a steady diet. I am not a veg
etarian, but l have proved in my own
a s at least that vegetables are the
healthiest food. l eat milk and eggs,
but I like cabbage. beets. turnips, corr
and potatoes much better"
Mr.. West says that he has not been
Ill a day for many years. AS a young
man he was sickly and it was pre-.
dicted that he would die before he
was 80.

1t will be observed that although
the house has been enlarged from
1876 members in 1910 to 39l members
in 1910, the numberm OF inhabitants
represented by each legislator has in.
creased enormously--from $4,000 to
l94,1S2. Today the house is conced-
edly too large for effective debate
yet II is most improbable that a
proposition for reducing its size
would meet with lavor. The pres
ent house took up the plan OF redue
ing the size of its legislative cham
Der. but abandoned the scheme when
l. was realized that house of more
than 400 members was almost certain
to follow the present census. Even
If the house is kept at the 400 mark,
me number of inhabitants represent
ed by each legislator will reach the
high score OF 100000. It is estimated.
The alternative evils are easily TO
be seen, but If the country insists on
growing at its present swift rate,
the problem of the house becomes
more serious with each decade On
the one hand ii is considered undesir-
able that a representative Should
stand for too large a number of CON
stituents. On the other, there is no
question but that the house has lost
its old time prestige by reason OF is
growth to undieldy proportions, 1t
may be impracticable for political
reasons to cut down the size of the
house, but It is to be hoped aat
there win be a full and careful dis
cussion of the factors involved be-
fore the new apportionment is fixed.
