CHICKEN SETS ON q: !: !.
NEST OF KITTENS
William Bassett Has Pc
culiar Hen--Chases Cat
From Young.

William Bassett, who resides on
the bluffs south of town, has a hen
which takes to young kittens.
Several days ago he discovered
three hens setting in the corner
of small shed in the yard. He took
the three chickens and locked them
up in coop. The next day he dis
covered another hen in this nest and
also an old cat and three little kittens,
which were just born. Mr.. Bassett
carefully took the hen away and
cooped il up, leaving the old cat and
the kittens where they were.
After the hen had remained in the
coop day the owner turned it loose
and ON hearing the faint cries of the
little kittens went to the shed and
found the old hen huddled over them
and ready to show fight to anything
that came near. Mr.. Bassett again took
the chicken and locked it up for day
and when he gave it freedom, watched
to see what it would do. Again it head
ed for the nest and after chasing
the mother cat away proceeded to set
on the nest of kittens.
Mr.. Bassett kept this up for several
days and every time the old hen
would come to the kittens. When
the hen was taken away the cat
would return. This was done for sew
eral days until the little mousers were
old enough to see and run about.

TRIED TO PAINT

Thimothy Sheean Over
estimates His Capacity
for Drinking.
From Saturdays DairS

Tim came to Baraboo few days ago
and found employment with the
Welsh plumbing firm. This morning
Tim started out to disprove the theory
that "all the rubes are funny and have
padlocks on their money" He also
wanted to prove that he had greater
capacity for booze than any man in
these parts. While in wobbly con-
dition he wandered, into the w. j.
Power tailor shop with an ugly look
ing knife in his hand. He had previ-
ously purchased a pair of trousers
there which he had paid for. He said
he. wanted the old ones back and
brought his knife down upon the cut
ting table so emphatically that the
blade was broken off, hole was made
in the wood and piece of cloth was
damaged. He then proceeded to peel
off his new trousers in order to put the
old ones on. A crowd gathered. His
attention was diverted and the police
force was summoned. The reeling in
dividuai made fine spectacle as he
staggered toward the depot, throwing
out language not fit to print, in all di-
rections on the beautiful May atmos-
phere to startle and offend passers by
Chief of Police Pelton, Officer Stone
and the sheriff rounded him up and
took him to the jail where he might
have an opportunity to unload
"fine jag". When he comes to his
senses he will find co oil breeze being
waited through the grating of cell in
the baStile.

Can Hold Trunks For
Next Train.

The most radical changei in baggage
carrying rules ever made by the rail-
roads will become effective on one
hundred and seventy-tive different
systems on January /, 1912, including
the Milwaukee, the Northwestern and
Burlington lines, according to official
notices which have been received by
agents.
After the first of the year "excess"
baggage rates will apply to pieces ac-
cording to size as we'll as weight. Any
trunk, box or piece of baggage measur-
ing 40 inches in any dimension will be
charged for at the rate of ten pounds
for each inch. Any piece measuring
over 70 inches in any dimension, show
baggage excepted, will not be taken.
The regular excess weight rates will
be charged on pieces weighing over $50
pounds.
No piece of baggage will be accepted
on which the value is fixed at more
than 500, but if the passenger so de-
sires, the railway company will issue

Can Hold Baggage.

The railroad companies also reserve
the right to choose the train on which
to forward baggage. If they see fit to
hold it for a later train or TO send it
ahead of the one on which the patron
rides, they will do so and the owner
will have nothing to say. In the past
suits have grown out of claims made
that the company failed to send bag
gage on the first train. These actions
have been instituted by statesmen who
claimed to have 10 much time be
cause samples were not at the depot
when they alighted from the train.

Dogs By Pound.

On May % a new rule governing the
transportation of dogs will become eff
fective. Instead of checking them as
ordinary baggage, dogs will go as ex-
cess baggage and be charged for by the
pound.
These revisions in baggage carrying
rules will cause a number of changes
to be made by the travelling public.
Many of them, commercial travellers
especially, will have to get trunks in
which to carry their sample lines. The
70.inch maximum dimension will
throw out lot of trunks that now are
taken if they can be put through the
car door.
