MT. Blaekler reported the fact to Chief Brown and he soon had tine pair under surveillance. This may be basis fer a complaint against the pair.
 If the evidence is not considered sufficient to convict in either of these cases, the two young men will be charged with being idle and dissOlute persons, sleeping in outhouses and without visible means of support. The police have undisputable evidence in support of such complaint,
 At the police station, after being searched and just before being es- corted to cells, Longilucca and Tucker declared they had nothing to say, as they did not propose to incriminate themselves, or in any way assist in the prosecution
 After the prisoners were lodged in cells, Chief Brown went on a tour of investigation. He found tracks in the snow, made by the shoes of Tucker and Longilucca that led direct from the Pierce hencoop to the Burdick basement. Two more dead chickens, undressed, were found, and the feath- CTS found indicated that the two other chickens taken from the Pierce flock had been cooked and eaten. It was ascertained that these fellows also en- tered the Blackler place again We'd nesday night by forcing a window; and proof WAS obtained that they had a quart of wfiskey in their possess sicn. The accused will oe arraigned this (Thursday) morning before Judge Oliver H, Williams.

Jeesm Albert Lerey Tucker, who went from Westerly with Sawteile's circus some years ago, and who caused the report to be circulated that he had lost part of an arm by getting too close to cage of lions; and a com panicn, Angelo Longiluecs, who has served a reform school term, were ar resto6 by Chief of Police Thomas E.

 William, Pierce reported to Chief Brown Monday that chickens had been stolen from his coop which is not far from the Burdick house. The chief had been on the trail of Tucker and I,onEilucca for some time in connec- ton with another crime, and he was satisfied that they were the chicken thieves. He went into the cellar of the Burdiok house, and found two dead chickens, unplucked, which Mir. Pierce identified as h1s property. On the floor was blood and feathers, show ing that other chickens, presumably Of Mir. Pierce's flock, had been killed and dressed on the premises. The chief then went into the house and found Longilucca and Tucker there, the lat ter asleep on lounge. Both men were arrested and taken to police head QuRrters- The penalty for this par ticular crime is three months in jail and fine of $20 and costs.

It a valuable find. The old Franklin
building, which preserved the relic
beneath its timbers for more than a
century, was not only the first hotel
in Columbus, but also the most porteq-

part of the country. Before It's con-
struction practically all Columbus
structures and abodes were made of
logs.
Some months ago the deputies of
the state fire marshal inspected the

IRONING WITH THE FEET.

One of the most curious sights
which beheld in Cairo was men iron
ing with their feet, says writer in
the Wide World Magazine. They had
not been mixing their drinks; 1t is
simply a custom of the country. These
men were employed in the native tail
oring establishments. Except for a
long iron handle, the irons were
shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only
larger. A solid block of wood rested
on the top Of the iron, and on this the
men placed one foot, guiding the iron
in the direction desired by means of
the handle. For the sake Of convent
ence the ironing boards were raised
only few inches above the ground.
The men ironed with great rapidity,
and, however strange the method may
seem to our ideas, 1t certainly does
the work very well and expeditiously.

ETHER AS A DRINK.

1t is not generally known that ether
is a popular drink in Ireland; almost
as popular, one might say, as whisky,
pale ale or stout
On the authority of contemporary
it is stated that in the County of Lon
donderry there are cabarets where
ether is sold exclusively and these ca
barets are so abundant that the strong
aromatic odor of the anesthetic is
quite noticeable in the streets. Here
are some figures: A Dublin dealer
sends to Belfast.each year about 200,-
600 hectoliters of ether, while from a
London druggist $4,000 hectoliters are
imported annually.
Two cents, or an English penny, is
the price O. glass.

EPITAPH CAUSES PROTEST

Protests are being made by resi-
dents of Morrisville, Pa, against the
shaft at the head of the grave of Sam
uel McCracken, because the inscrip-
ton reads:
If politicians ana priests all go to
heaven, then I am bound to stop at
some other station.
Beside his grave is that of his wife,
with a headstone which reads: She
died firm believer in Christ, her Sa-
viour"
McCracken died in 1862 and made
a contract with The cemetery owners
that his tombstone should never be
disturbed A legal way to remove the
shaft is being sought, because its In
scription is considered sacrilegious.
Many Revolutionary war soldiers are
buried in the cemetery.

SANG FORTY-EIGHT HOURS

A prisoner in Ayrshire (Scotland)
prison has been giving to the physi'
clans and prison officials an anxious
and worrying time For two days and
nights he kept singing song after
song, without any intervals for food,
and ceased only when sheer exhaus-
ton caused him to faint.
He was being taken from the police
court to prison when he burst into
song, treating his fellow prisoners in
Black Maria" to one of Harry Lau-
der's classics, followed by some
/ hymns. In vain the police and ward
ers ordered him to stop it" He
came from the prison van and enter
ed his cell singing the GLORY song.
He was threatened with punishment
If he did not give up, but he seemed
not to hear the warnings He sat in
his cell apparently quite happy till
the never ceasing Glory song got
on the nerves of the other prisoners,
and he was removed to a cell which
was as nearly sound proof as pos
sible. Still he kept on. 1t was thought
he would stop when he got hungry.
But he did not. All through the night,
all next day and next night he kept
on singing, until at the end of forty
eight hours he suddenly ceased and
he was found lying on the floor of his
cell in a swoon.
When, IL hours later, he recovered
in the prison infrmary, he had no
recollection of having been singing at
ALL All he said he could remember
was that he seemed suddenly to lose
his memory when sitting in the pris-
on van and thought he had tainted.
That he had been singing for two
days was a great surprise to him.

1t is understood the payment of the

ALASKA RAISES VEGETABLES
American Teachers Send Potatoes,
Turnips and Carrots From
KIukWan Garden.

Washington.-As evidence OF what
American school teachers are accom-
pIishing in Alaska, the federal bureau
Of education received basket of po-
tatoes, turnips, carrots and other vege-
tables grown in the school garden at
Kiukwan. The vegetables are of ex-
cellent size and weight and products
of similar value are raised on the
land surrounding the other eighty
public schools in the nations Earth
est north possession. In many cases
the products of the gardens are Of a
distinct monetary value to the schools.
The Importance OF this form Of edu-
cation for the natives is appreciated
by the bureau, which has made the
art of truck farming part of it's edu-
catfonal campaign. The school farm
movement accordingly has been ex-
tended until 1t has penetrated into
the arctic circle, where remarkable
success with the patches OF earth
surrounding the schools has been at
tanned. The model gardens, the bu-
reau has been informed, have served
TO inspire the natives to take up the
cultivation of their own ground and
the standard of living among the
tribes has risen accordingly.
