GOTHAM CITY OF NOMADS
New Workers Like to Move, and Often Change Homes Without
 Revocation.

New Workers never are happy un less they are on the jump. Many of them move so frequently it would pay them to set up light housekeep ing in moving van. They move at the slightest provocation, and often without any provocation whatever There are housewives who have the moving habit developed to such a de gree that although their husbands know where they have eaten break. fast they are not altogether sure where they will eat when they 20 home for dinner. In short, the life of the tenement dweller in New York is nomadic.
 The fact Is illustrated pointedly by figures on the files of the Consoli. dated Gas company bearing on the S0-cent gas fight, and the rebates and the refunds which attended it. In trying to keep track of gas consumers. employees of the Consolidated discov. cred that in thirty-two months 135 families had moved into and out of one tenement house in Harlem-and it was good house at that. One apartment alone, in another house in Harlem, had twenty-five families in it in the same length of time.-New York Press.

The Lure of the Chicken

Chickens the fashion till Had the chicken ever been the fashion this would be the renaissance, but the present popu larity is without precedent. Not only has the chicken been dramatized, per "Chantecler," but milliners have taken up the pumage right under the of the Audubon societies. then, also, there is the secretary of agriculture, who offers the chicken the perennial lure to the country, where the problem of living, pure food and plenty of it is to be solved by the cityites as soon as they organize real hegra to the tall tmbers. Even the coldstorage chickens hanging in rows in the market look allurng and seem to suggest to you the possibility of boy cotting the beef trust

They carry Snn Successful egg business, a gigantic trust of fheir own, no competitors and all the world for patrons Their product never is supplanted by an Improved article invented by some who improves on their idea. and such good standing have they idea in economics that they the chief element in the magnet that lures the city man to the country.

give him half a chance He knows the name Of the breed of chickens he to raise and he knows the kind of incubator he will buy and he knows about chicken houses and chicken
 feed' and end of detail about scientific chick en business. The chicken dream, the chicken lure has something to for. something which never gets into the newspapers The real chicken dreamer knows just how much money he is going to invest in a chicken colony and then he intends to lie back and let the chickens support him. It is to laugh,
 Don't let me prick the chicken bubble,' said the city man who has just sold his chicken farm and come back to town. 'I don't mind giving up the facts in the case, for with the chicken fever would believe Every has to try it for himself And it's all right; let him. I had fun with chickens for three years and I've no wish to be a kill-joy Hardly ever a of chicken fever lasts city man more than three years.
 "The secretary of agriculture and certain stu dents of sociology recommend city people to move to the country and find there the solution of all their problems and the city sentimentasts with shattered nerve systems eagerly grasp the idea. Now, farming is business the same any of the other pursuits in life by which men make living and certain temperament is quired to be successful in it, as well as great deal of patience. Do city people have much pa- tience? I leave it to you.

THIEF ALL HIS LIFE
Murderer Says He Couldn't Re- sist Committing BurgIaries.
Believes Blow on Head Delivered by Father Affected His Brain and Made Criminal of Him-Moth-
 CT Defends Son.

Springfield, Mass-Bertram G. Spencer, who recently confessed that he murdered Miss Martha Blackstone, shot Miss Dow and committed many burglaries, says he thinks he brain is affected. His case already is at tracing much attention among law yers and alienists.
 q killed Miss Martha Blackstone in a fit of anger" he said Then l shot Miss Harriet Dow. I did not know what l was doing When the women screamed l lost all control of myself l would not have harmed a hair of their heads if they had kept quiet
 q have been a robber since l was child. I stole knives out of grocery had an irresistible fascination for me l have broken into houses in almost every city where I have lived. In Springfield in the past year l commit ted more than a dozen burglaries. would get out of bed and go out and rob After the deed was done my mind seemed to be relieved and could sleep.
 q think my brain is wrong. My fa- ther hit me on the back of the head when I was boy with the butt of a whip It left a big dent. Since then my temper has been uncontrol- labe. Nobody has been so afraid of me as myself l did not run away from Springfield after the murder be- cause l enjoyed reading about the eX- citement and the foolish efforts of the police to find a clue. l never dreamed they would get me until l was ar rested"
 Spencer told how he had travelled to many different parts of the world on training ship. His relatives had thought naval discipline would curb him, as his father had failed to do so. But he returned, he said, with the same love for thieving and temper as uncomfortable as ever.
 At the time of the San Francisco fire, he said, he acted as a public
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-05-06

guard. The report that he had been a member of the burglar bands which terrorized the city was not denied by the police.
 In Springfield Spencer said he had broken into more than dozen homes
 'I never knew just what house was going to tackle when l started out" he said q would often wake up soon after retiring and toss and turn until I was all in a fever with the desire to go out and rob- As soon as l struck the cool night air and knew I was in the game again felt relieved. I cannot describe the fasci- nation of the sport. When it once gets a man it won't let go.
 I did not intend to rob the Dow house the night l killed Miss Black stone and shot Miss Dow in the head I left home about seven o'clock and walked toward Round Hill When I got to the Dow house I saw there were only women there, so 1 decided to try it. I got through a bedroom window, pulled out my searchlight and looked into a closet. There was nothing there but clothes. On dresser I found green Indian belt and the silver brooch which Miss Dow identified. I put them in my pocket and then went into the dining room and leveled my gun at the women in the next room. All l wanted was money. I would not have cared how tboS, made no fuss"
 The confession is now in the DOS. session of District Attorney Stephen S. Taft
 When his mother and sister visited Spencer in his cell he broke down
 "Oh, God, had to tell" he sobbed, as he buried his head in his mothers arms like a child. q didn't realize what sins had committed until they began to question me. Then they all came up before me like so many ghosts. They frightened me, so l could not rest until I recognized them and said they were all true"
 With my daughter I have just re- turned from the cell where my son is locked up," said Mrs. Spencer, with quavering voice. 'Oh, it is terrible, terrible. l never dreamed that all this was to come into our lives"
 q do not think that my son, Der tram, can be considered responsible for the deeds charged against him. He did what he did when he was practi- cally insane. He did not realize what he was doing.

Change in Literary Tastes.

Dime novel publishers say that New York boys have lost their taste for Indians and desperadoes. "It's not the Slimy Sam stuff that the boys like nowadays" said one of them We have to keep a lot of writers at work here changing the old stories around to fit new wants. They put in aeroplanes instead of pinto ponies and have the hero toss the villain of a skyscraper instead of from a cliff Dime novels have to be kept up with the times just the same as everything else in this town. But in the country we can sell the old standbys just as we always did."-New York Sun.
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-05-06

Tt takes considerable amount of practical knowledge that farmers have to be born with a kind of traditional information that never gets into the query column any other column of the agricultural periodicals. This knowledge may possibly be included in theoretical farming, but l have never found it there. It's what keeps the city man from succeeding in the country.
 He knows where he can get S5 a dozen for squabs and 60 cents a dozen for eggs and $1 a pound for butter and $9 pair for broiers all the year round. It sounds pretty good. It isn't the first business proposition that has figured out finely on paper. Now the farmer rarely figures He saws wood, gets up at a.. m. and does the best he He is not enthusiast and there's a pretty good reason for it.
 "The farmer is a patient man. He doesn't dress up much and, without meaning to speak disparagingy, he eats what he can't sell City people who live in the country sell what they can't eat. The farmer is obliged to live frugally in order to make both ends meet By the time the city man gets through eating and entertain ing his friends there is nothing left. He knows too well what good living is"

How often do you eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in the columns of one of the pyo7, inent magazines an article on building brain and muscle by the proper selection of the foods you eat.
 A good many people were surprised to find oatmeal placed at the top of the list of foods recommended; but if the article had appeared in an English or Scotch paper every reader would have expected to see first place given to good oatmeal.
 As a matter of fact, Great Britain and Europe come to us for tremendous quantities of Quaker Scotch Cats be- cause it represents to them perfect food, being the richest in flavor and best in cleanliness and purity, of all oatmeals.
 It is packed in regular size pack ages, and in dramatically sealed tins for hot climates. 55
