BOY DESPERATE
KILLS CONSTABLE
Fired From House When Law
Officer Came to Arrest
Him

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. William
CSarnathan, l6 years old, shot and killed
John Babb. a special policeman OF this
borough, yesterday W. en- Babb attempted
TO arrest tho boy at his fathers home,
on the Harry Hickman farm, West Brad
ford Township four miles from this bor-
ough. The Carnathan house is near Wa
wasct Station, on the Wilmington divi-
sion Of the Reading Railway The boy
slayer was arrested by Constable Bald
win. Of AIarshallton. and brought IN a
sleigh to the Chester county prison.
Last June Carnathan- attempted 70 pois-
on his parents by placing powered glass
IN their bread and molasses. Both became
very ill but recovered Then the father
swore out a warrant for the lads arrest
and warned tho West Chester police that
the son was a desperate character and
that they would have trouble taking him
into custody.
The warrant was never served because
the boys mother protested, and he prom
ised 10 behave himself. The lad would
not go 20 school, and became more and
more incorrigible.
one day this week the elder Carnathan
who occupies a tenant house on the ITicl1-
man farm whereon he Is employed, came
to West Chester and swore out another
warrant. IN which he charges his son
with having attempted 10 poison Mr..
Hickman's cattle.
IL was while attempting to serve this
warrant that Babb was killed. A posse
later took the boy from the house. lie
made no resistance.

YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY

At a railroad station the other day "a
gentleman from the country yielded 10
the pressing solicitation OF a persistent
newsboy and bought a penny weekly pa
per.
But there was a dimculty-a shilling,
no change and the engine OF the train
giving unmistakable evidence of a speedy
departure.
The bargain was about to be cancelled
when the boy volunteered to get the
shilling changed into pence.
But" sad the gent, perhaps you will
not return with the eleven pence"
Tho boys face wore an injured look
'If you are afraid TO trust me, sir"
said he and there was the least trace OF
emotion in his voice. ''you can have the
other eleven copies as security"
Something suspiciously like moisture
came into the old mans eyes as he
glanced into the bright open counten-
ance OF tho boy, and he felt heartily
ashamed of himself as he me ,hanically
held out HIS hand for the remaining
eleven copies.
He watched the little fellow as he trot-
ted down the platform ill he sailed
round a corner and was lost to sight.
Fifteen seconds later the engine gave
a final shrek. and the train slowly glided
out OF the station.
Tho man glanced round AT his fellow
passengers and handed a copy of the
paper TO each one from his pile
lie said nothing, but seemed TO be
thinking. .-Tit-Bits.

IDS LIST
capacity OF
CUPS

yoleon. like Johnson, was a hard
tea drinker, and so, a century
MAS Mr.. Gladstone, who con-
ipssctA he drank more tea between
midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning
than any other member of the House
OF Commons, and that the strongest
brew of 1t never interfered with his
Sleep"
The dish OF tea was one OF the most
important factors I'm Johnson's life.
Proficiency I'm the gentle art of tea
brewing was regarded by him as an
essential attribute of the perfect wo-
man. and there can be no doubt that
his female friends--and their name was
legion--did their best to crafty his
amiable weakness
Richard Cumberland tells us that his
inordinate demands for his favorite
beverage were occasionally difficult TO
comply with. on Sir Johsua Reyn-
olds reminding him that he had al
ready consumed eleven cups he replied:
"Sir, ] did not count your glasses OF
wine: why should you number my cups
Of tear" adding laughingly and in per-
feet good humor: "Sir. i should have
released our hostess from any further
trouble, but you have reminded me
that l want one more cup TO make up
the dogen and / must request Mrs.
Cumberland 60 round up my score"
When he saw the complacency with
which the lady of the house obeyed
his behests he said cheerily: Madam,
1 must tell you. for your comfort, you
have escaped much better than a GER
tain lady did a while ago, upon whose
patience I intruded greatly more than
/ have yours. She asked me for nc
other purpose than to make n zany
OF me and set me gabbing TO a parcel
OF people / knew nothing Of; so madam
had my revenge on her. for I swal-
lowed five and twenty cups Of hel
tea"
Cumberland declared that his wife
/ would gladly have made tea for John
| son "as long as the New River could
have supplied her with water" for IL
was then, and then only, he was seer
| nt his happiest moments.
on his Scottish tour his inexorabl,
i demands for tea sorely tried the patti
ence of Lady Macleod OF Dunvegan
who after giving him his sixteenth
cup suggested that further supplies fl
a small basin might be agreeable &
him.
"I wonder. madam" he answered
roughly. "why all the ladies ask ms
such questions. II is TO save your
self trouble madam, and not me-"
The lady was discreetly silent. ant
resumed her task.-Gentlewoman.

AVENUE PLAYERS
IN A BIG PLAY
A Gorgeous Presentation Of
'ln the Palace Of the King"
Next Week

The managers OF the Avenue Theatre
will show their appreciation of the sup
port given them at their PLAYHOUSE by
presenting during the first week of the
new year a magnificent production "In
The Palace of The King" with an aug
mented cast, special scenic and costume
effects.
"In The Palace Of The King" is dra-
matization by Lorrimer Stoddart OF f.
Marion Crawfords novel. Contrary to the
usual custom, the play is divided into
six scenes and not into acts, for the
reason that the action occurs in one even-
ing, occupying about the time consumed
in the stage presentation.
Don John of Austria, has just return
ed from a great victory and is in love
with a certain Dona Dolores de Men
doza, but his half-brother, Philip III, King
Of Spain, is also secretly IN love with
the lady and therefore jealous Of Don
John. There is a Princess Eboli in love
with Don John. She tells him SANDER
Gus tales about Dolores and tries to COM
promise her The King attempts the as
sassination OF Don John, and failing in
that, imprisons him on a false charge.
The court fool. friend to Dolores and
Don John. helps to fru ~ate the ma
chlnations of the King and Princess Eboli,
and the lovers are united.
This is the bare skeleton of the story
which is elaborated by the doings of a
score of other interesting characters
courtiers, soldiers, prelates, pages and
servants, making a series of beautiful
scenes and giving n striking representa-
tion of court life In Madrid i'm the days
| when Spain was at the height of her
power.
Miss Pitt will play Dolores, the part II
which Viola Allen starred; Mr.. Miller
Don John; Mr.. Hocey. the jester made
famous by william Norris; the othe
favorites of the company will be seen II
good parts; likewise the many extra peo
pie who have been engaged especially 70

Western Fosslls.

Many OF the finds made in western
fossil fields in the United States have
been purchased by the great museums
abroad. but most OF them have been
kept to grace American museums.
The Museum of Natural History Of
New York. the Yale, Harvard, Prince.
ton and Wyoming museums among
the universities, and the Carnegie
museum in Pittsburg and the Field
Museum OF Chicago, all have notable
collections of fossil remains. But. in
spite of all the work that has been
done. IL is generally recognized that
the work of collecting fossils is in it's
infancy. The fossil beds OF the west
will continue to yield treasures for
generations to come. until link by link
the chain that connects humanity
with the past has been uncovered.
