When a little penny's dngy
And a dull and ugly brown,
From the fingers of the butcher-boy
And every one in town,
feel sorry for the penny,
And 7 say it IS too bad
Don't yoa think the little penny must be sadl
Then I rub it on the carpet
With all my main and might,
TIL It Gets all warm and shiny,
And 60 pretty and so bright
That In su-c it has forgotten
All the troubles that it had
Don't sou think the little penny must be glad7

If baker baked bun

The child that grabbed and shouted
Oh no, not OF these.
Not these it can't be doubted

ROMANCE OF A HEN COOP.
Men and Fowls Are Scrambled TOxet her
in This Story.

The romance Of hen coop was unrolled
Yesterday afternoon In city court when
Edward GonYea was acquitted of the
charge of robbing Joseph Benoit's hen
house on North avenue. No one claimed
that Edward stole any hon, but he was
found in the coop after dark or rather
was kept In the coop after he had walked
in. ard Mr.. Benoit thought. naturally
enough, that # there had been any chick
ems in the coop. that Mr.. Gonyeh would
have been apt to have carried some Of
them away. The defendant, who had his
hair clipped tight and chewed prodigious
quantities Of tobacco. was an interested
spectator of the proceedings.
on the night In question Mr., Benoit tes-
tilted that he saw Gonyea standing In
front OF his hen coop Afterwards he re-
moved his hens to another coop. Again
lie saw Benoit approach the coop with a
black bag and after the man had entered
lie ran stealthily up and closed the door
on him. He then summoned a policeman.
MIR. Gonyea Is now a free man. the hens
on North avenue are all intact and moth
ing seems TO he the worse for all the fuss.

Had Been III with Tuberculosis for
Long Time.

A ptfall story was unfolded Friday
by the police when they investigated the
death of an Italian named John Marchese
who had been Ill for months with con-
sumption in a building on lower College
street, occupied only by himself. and In a
, room bare of furniture save bed, upon
which there were no bed clothes. and one
or two articles Of cheap furniture. These
had been left by former inhabitants Of the
building for his use. A dozen raw eggs
were in pan on a stand and the man
had evidently lived on such food. having
no means of cooking. When found he
had been dead for several hours and was
evidently in the act of eating when strick-
en-. for he was found partially dressed.
sprawled over the bed before a table
upon which was some soup, furnished by
another italian.
Little is known of Marchese. save that
he was stone cutter from Barre and has
d wife living somewhere, as we'll as two
children. who are cared for at ST. Jo-
sephs orphanage. They are boy. aged
four or five years. and n girl. aged H. He
came TO this city about six months ago
IN broken health and rented the room
when the building was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs Alphonse De Marco. At first he
paid for 1t but gradually his IL nds be-
came exhausted and finally he was de-
pendent for his living upon an occasional
check from some brotherhood In Barre to
which he belonged and the charity of the
| De Marcos.
| For the past month he had been too
weak to leave his room and food was
/ brought in to him. Thursday he received
draft and had 1t cashed. He evidently
had some food purchased for him and
when searched some OF the money was
found upon him.
| The body was discovered by an ac-
quaintance after life had been extinct foi
several hours. He rushed to the home OF
Mrs. De Marco. who. upon learning the
facts In turn notified the police. Chile,
Russell. with Health Officer c. F. Daltor
investigated the conditions. Nothing OF
value save the money was found. Some
papers were, however, discovered which
showed the identity Of the man. Tho
other facts concerning him were learned
from other Italians. The body was re-
moved TO the undertaking rooms of Ar

they are so closely associated.
We deplore the fact that the people
(voters) fail to realize their individual

the federal protection Of the liquor traffic
the traffic being a creation Of the govern

the people (voterr) Il therefore becomes
potent TO every real thinking man who
supports either Of the two dominant
political parties that believe In controlling

After forty years service as one of
the most familiar figures along lower
Broadway, Apple Kate as she was
known to thousands Of persons in the
Congested downtown district, has for
saxon her stand and departed. thus
depriving the city Of one OF its old

she has sold fruit on the sidewalk
outside st. Pauls Church. having be-
come. in that time, almost is much Of

CoughIin. to call her by her real name,
first came to Broadway when she was
eight years old and perched herself
on one Of her mothers apple barrels
to do what she could to help her. In
those days the overhead crossing above
Broadway was st!ll priced as a means
of escape from tho crowded traffic
and the OLD stages long since done
away with were the latest thing In
Transportation. Her mother died but
she kept up the old stand. She was
known to many of the lawyers, brok-
ers ard bankers who passed her
corner. and many is the apple she
has sold to financial magnates. Broad
way has changed before her eyes, but
she always seemed the same Her
customers had long regarded her as
not less we'll established than st.
Paurs Church itself, and since mar
ria ge was the cause of her departure
she was obliged to put the hour Of her
wedding carly IN the morning in order
to escape the thronG of her we'll wish

church. With the passing Of apple

familiar along Broadway since just
