ROOSTER MOTHERS 27 CHICKS
When Hen Elopes With Neighbor
Black Minorca CockereI Takes Up
Task of Scratching.

Oakland, Cal.-Deserted by his wife,
who eloped with a neighbor, Henry,
who makes his home with Walter E.
Logan in a suburb of this city, has
become both mother and father to his
family of twenty-seven children.
Henry is a Black Minorca rooster.
When Martha, his Spouse Matched out
twenty-seven fuzzy chicks Henry was
the proudest rooster in Piedmont. But
Martha soon became enamored of a
neighbor's Plymouth Rock, deserted
her brood and moved into the neigh
boris coop.
Henry moped for a few days, but
the peeps of his hungry family made
him forget his own sorrows. He be-
came different rooster.
Daily he scratches for worms and
stands guard over his brood, fighting
off adult chickens which would rob his
family of its food. When bedtime
comes Henry escorts his brood to a
warm moss-flled box, climbs in him
self and cuddles his family.

The Duchess Was Humorous.

Paris.-A charming anecdote is go
ing the rounds of Paris concerning a
duchess well known in Partisan soci-
ETY. for her charity. An old beggar
whom the procession of vehicles going
to the Grand PriX had attracted to the
Champs-Elysees was given franc by
a passer-by. The old man, while test
ing the coin on the pavement, saw it
disappear under the ratings of a gar
den. He rang the bell and begged the
footman who opened the door to look
for the franc The footman went away
and, coming back after little while,
said: "Your franc has not been found"
Blank dismay overloaded the beg
gar's face, until the fOOtman added:
"But this has been found" and hand
ed the beggar a 20-franc piece While
the beggar cheerfully went on his way
the charitable duchess, who had been
sitting all the time within her garden,
smiled at the success of her little
joke.

cows HABIT LAW QUESTION
Cleveland Justice OF the Peace Is
Called on to Decide Why Yield of
Milk Suddenly Dropped.

Cleveland, OFF a man sells an
other man a COW with a guaranty that
she will produce four gallons of milk
a day and the cow declines, after the
deal is completed, to supply more than
two gallons a day, is the COW or the
original owner to bfame? The ques-
tiog was given to G. J. Gavin, Justice
OF the peace, to answer
A. Schaffer, who conducts a bust
ness at 1862 Larimer street, bought
from M. Hatcher and B. Bong the COW
which caused the suit. Schaffer paid
$500 for her. He charges in his suit
to recover the price of the cow that
the defendants guaranteed she would
yield four gallons OF milk per day. In
stead he had obtained only half that
amount. The COW, therefore, was
worth only half of the price paid.
The defense told the court that the
COW was ready, willing and capable OF
maintaining the contract capacity, but
that she had not been given sufficient
food. Besides the plaintiff allowed
the COW to walk around too much.
Quiet is essential for a COW which
is expected to furnish sufficient milk
and butter for dairy. Under the
circumstances, the defense said it
was the plaintiff, and not the COW.
who had defaulted on the contract.
The plaintiff offered to allow Justice
Gavin to milk the cow for one day, to
see if he was telling the truth. The
+oI- '-
word for it. He rendered decision
in favor Of the defendants and said
that the defendants were not respon~
sible for the failure of the COW to fur
nish the four gallons of milk.

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had a new hat to show
him. 1t was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that it was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said 1t looked as if it had
been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. And he made
lot of other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
Of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him bill
for retrimming that hat-$18.34 1t
came to.
Bunsen paid it without murmur,
and said the revised edition Of the hat
was just exactly right. He is not
criticizing hats any more.

A NATURAL KITCHEN
Eggs Cooked In the Hot Springs
of Mexico.
Heated Waters Have Been Known for
Their Medicinal and Curative
Properties Since Country
Was First Explored.

Candelaria, Mex.-One of the most
the world is situated on the Next
can side Of the Rio Grande near here.
There are scores of these bub-
bling streams of water flowing
from the rock formation and
into a gulch that empties into
the Rio Grande. The waters of these
springs have been known for their
medicinal and curative properties
from the time of the first exploration
and settlement of Mexico. Thousands
of afflicted people have made pilgrim
ages to this remote region and sought
the benefits of the thermal springs.
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
situated in an almost inaccessible lo-
cality and can only be reached by an
overland journey of more than so
miles from the nearest railroad point
there is never time that health
seekers may not be found camping at
the place.
There are no accommodations at
the springs for visitors and many are
the primitive and crude devices that
are rugged up to obtain the benefit Of
the waters. Frequently visitors con
struct crude adobe rooms over one
of the springs and use them for sweat
boxes. The bath tubs usually consist
Of digging hole in the ground and
letting 1t fill with the hot water, the
health seeker taking his outdoor bath

There is not such thing as a hotel
or eating house within many miles of
the place. The visitors mist bring
their own supplies and live next to ma
ture during their stay, whether it be
brief or greatly prolonged.
The waters of these springs are said
to be good for many chronic ills That
a great number of cures that are lit
tie short of marvellous have taken
place as a result Of drinking and bath

FNine-Lives Dutchie" Has Re-
markabIy Long Fall.
Didn't Go to st. Gregory's Hospital on
Account of His Injuries, but to
Wait for a Second Pair
of Trousers.

New York.-Fellow workmen in the
painting trade call Evan Shermon who
is SO years old, and lives at No. 200
West One Hundred and Twenty-first
street, "Nine-Lives Dutchie," and his
old schoolmates dubbed him kitty,
the Human Cat both sobriquets hay
ing to do with Shermon's ability to fall
from heights varying from 10 to 100
feet without hurting himself. He him
self estimates that he has had about
100 falls. But he shows himself with
out scratch and is sure that he isn't
going to die that way.
He fell eight stories from the
Scott & Browne building, near the
Brooklyn bridge, about 100 feet. But
he was still the Human Cat" of
youth, for he landed on the flag
stones on his feet. And it wasn't
because of injuries that he went to
st. Gregory's hospital. His trou-
sers were torn and he went to the
hospital to wait till another pair was
sent to him. His knees were somewhat
bruised and one hand lacerated.
He was standing on the outer sill
of window in the eighth story when
he slipped and pitched out into the
air. Cries of horror arose from those
who saw him from the street and
they turned their heads away to avoid
the sight of seeing the man killed. But
''Nine-Lives Dutchie" saw on his way
down some telegraph wires and he
grabbed for one. He caught it, but his
weight tore the wire from his grasp.
However, this act broke his fall. He
landed on his feet and sank to his
knees. For little while he was stun
ned, but when the ambulance got
there he was sitting up.

One of the phenomena of the group

a temperature of less than 100 de-

American painter who lived in Lon
don, was only comfortably off, where
as he might have been rich"
The speaker, Chicago art dealer,
had just returned from Europe. He
continued:
Il dined one evening with Abbey in
his house in Chelsea, and after dinner
we walked in the blue twilight on the
Chelsea embankment.
las we passed Old Swan House and
Clock House, and the other superb
residences that front the river, l re-
preached Abbey for his extravaganza.
Why, said, pointing toward Clock
House, If you had saved your money,
you might be living in palace like
that today
But Abbey, with laugh, rather
got the better of me- He ratified off
this epigram-and it's an epigram I'll
always remember when I'm tempted
to be parsimonious:
Some folks he said, are so busy
putting something by for rainy day
that they get little or no good out OF
pleasant weather."

Language and Customs of $50 Years
Ago Still Preserved by SeIf-Exiled
Russian Cossacks.

ConstantinopIe.-On of those curl
GUS instances of quaint historical sur
vival, of which many occur in Asia
Minor, has lately come before official
Russian attention in Constantinople.
1t is the case of a colony of about
5000 Russian Cossacks settled in
Anatolia Asia Minor. The forefa-
theirs of these Cossacks left Russia for
voluntary exile $50 years ago. Their
departure was occasioned by an at
tempt to enroll their names for CEN
sus purposes in writing. According to
the creed Of these peasants, the writ
ing down of their names jeopardizes
their chance for salvation for it in
valves the curse of Antichrist, en-
abling him to set his seal upon them.
During the while CT this time the
Cossacks have kept their identity alb
solutely intact. They speak a Rus
sian dialect bearing the same relation
does our modern English to that of
Chaucer. They wear the Russian dress
of three centuries ago, and even grow
herbs, uncultivated elsewhere in An
atolia, to make the dishes that were
the food Of the medieval Russian.
A few months ago this little band OF
Russian exiles found themselves sud-
denly faced by the same danger that
threatened their ancestors in the six
teenth century. The Turkish govern
ment, having to call upon it's Christian
subjects for military service, demand
ed the enrolment of those men of the
community who were of age, and again

A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good it is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure Of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
eve had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and In
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with all air of exceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him great surprise, but
I'm afraid 1t wasn't a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting it stand on the stove till boil
ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with 1t
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptio
and cup Of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and Is
actually growing fat, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause Of it. All the chill
dren are allowed to drink it and they
are perfect pictures Of health" Name

ODD COLONY in ASIA MINOR

they were in danger of the seal of An
tichrist
This time a split occurred among the
exiles. The young men urged that.
since they could not avoid enrolment,
it were best to serve in Russia among
their kindred, but the older members
were in favor of remaining. The arbi-
tration of the Russian consul at Con-
stantinople was invoked, and through
his agency funds were obtained from
the Russian government to enable
those who wished to do so to return
to Russia, leaving the rest to live on
tiny chronological island among the
races of AnatOlia
