home. $40 Fifth avenue in New York
The man saw a woman sitting near a
window in the library. and evidently
believing that 1t was the mistress of

window. The woman at the window
was Mrs. Edward Scholes, friend Of
Miss Gould, who had been living at the
Gould house. The brick shattered the
glass and struck Mrs. Scholes on the
head, but the thickness Of her hair pre-
vented serious injury. The blow made
a painful bruise.

Stray Bits Of News From
Little Old New York

Y. During the last previous visitation
the locusts covered suburban New
York, stripping trees, bushes, hedges,
lawns and truck farms of everything
green. The individual locusts lived on
ly a few days, but each female laid
500 eggs on the branches of denuded
trees When the larvae Matched they
fell to the ground and burrowed
straight down for more than a foot.
There it is said they have rested for
seventeen years, and as soon as the
frost leaves the ground they will dig
their way to the surface. Chinatown
will welcome the visitation. The Chi
nese cook makes them into pies, roasts
them. eats them as a salad and dresses
them in many mysterious ways.

its lumber and hardwood interests.

the other night, toasted on half a dozen
crullers which he found in the pantry
and then left the premises, taking a
