FIRE"
 The word was passed around among amateur firefighters of the gov ernment printing office one afternoon recently. The fire brigade is said to consist of about dozen laborers-
 Really there was no fire about the big printing office, save in the engine room furnaces and under the smelling pots-
 Some one high in authority at the printery had read a newspaper ac- count of a disastrous confagration in the west The story of the blaze put the notion in his head to resurrect a general order" of several years standing which provides for fire drill at intervals.
 It was near to the hour for closing down "the works" 4:3O o'clock, when the edict went forth that the fire bri- gade was to assemble quickly and from the new building attack an inn aginary confagration in the old struc- ture across the alley, which separates the new. from the old

BREAKING UP BRooDY HENS
Shutting Her Up in Box With Slated Bottom Will Effect Cure in
 Very Few Days.

It Is natural for hens of the sitting breeds to become broody after she has finished laying clutch" of eggs. They do not deserve to be ducked or otherwise abused because they follow the course nature has laid down for them:
 If the hen begins to show signs of broodiness and is not needed for matching it is very easy to break her up, if immediate action is taken.
 Shutting her in a box with slated bottom, the box being supported foot from the ground, will usually cure her in day or two.
 The slated bottom furnishes a per fectly easy place for the hen to stand kind of sitting that comes with the fever of broodiness. Broodiness is a sort of fever and the slated bottom of the box allows the air to circulate under the hen and soon cools the fever and the hen Is ready to go to work sooner
 It Is doubtful If rearing a brood of chickens decreases the egg record of a hen in any way. If the hen becomes broody she will waste a lot of time if allowed to sit around until she gets ready to quit, but if she is broken up at once 1t Is doubtful If she will begin laying again any sooner than she would if she had been allowed to hatch and rear brood of chicks.

"Con" Men Find Virginian Easy Mark

Come to New York with me-" Da wis told him, land I will see that you get job"
 Soon a second man, red-haired in dividual, who said he was an English man, appeared and was introduced drink was suggested. The men had one in a saloon on Pennsylvania ave nue.
 Davis said he would go back to Richmond and draw his money from bank in order that he might have funds enough to see him through his trip to New York. Accompanied by Smith, the man who first accosted him, Davis went to Richmond, drew his money and returned the next day. The red-haired man and a friend met them and the quartet went to the ho- tel where the alleged swindlers had taken a room.
 A game of matching quarters was indulged in and Davis lost what silver change he had. It was then necessary for him to get out his roll of bills. It was the first time Lawrence and Hop kins, as the two "con" men were known, had seen the roll. At the sug- gestion of one of the men, Davis handed his roll to Hopkins to hold. Lawrence then said he wanted to get a check cashed, and 1t was while he was pretending he was looking for a toan to cash 1t that those in the part became separated.

Fervid Vocabulary Cause of Arrest

And then there followed a contro versy. It was heated, to use a well worn but perfectly good phrase, and in the end the policeman hopped into the buggy and took the broad-hatted gentleman around to police station No. 1, where 1t became evident that the prisoner was a southerner and was being charged with profanity and lots of 1t, varied, variegated, lurid, personal and original
 The southern gentleman kept 1t go ing to some extent even while he wa. being examined at No. l, but he di. quit in time to let them know that he was not the owner of the horse. About this time a hatless, breath less real estate agent rushed out oi the District building.
 Somebody's run off with my horse and buggyi Where did they go?" he shouted.
 Meantime No. 1 had managed tc cool the southern gentleman to state where he would disgorge $5 as col lateral, the price of his profanity. And all this time no one had found out Ihat the southern gentleman was not -Io owner of the horse at all.
