Huguenot, N. Y.-Joseph Millman
shipped $50 ducks and ten geese in
August last to Joseph Pepper, who
runs a duck farm in the Mongaup
Valley, New York. The price was
$125, and Pepper did not pay, so
Millman sued. The case came to
trial before Judge Carrick in the
First District court, Jersey City. q
Pepper was asked why he refused
to settle. He answered that when the
crate arrived at the railroad station
at Monticello, N. Y, three of the
ducks were dead, and that soon after
the others had been placed on the
farm seventy-three of them died.
"On what did you feed them
asked the plaintiffs lawyer.
MIXED corn, wheat, meal, salt and
an abundance of grit and sand" said
the defendant.
That's enough to kill any duck

where did you gain your knowl-

New York City.-A young man

stood under 1T as though lodging a
heavy rainstorm at One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth streets and l1ightieth

crowd gathered about him, and on
the opposite side of the street a
score or more young men raced about
about the sidewalk yelling:

Detectives Moore and Horn came
and hundreds of persons gathered
untll the crowd was so great that
trolley cars could not pass.
Put down that umbralla and

%tectives.

stay here"
Across the street the other young
men continued their yells and ieers.
He's crazy" said Moore to Horn.
'Surest thing o know" agreed
Horn. We'll run him in"
So they took the man to Night

istrate Krotel. He said he was Rob-

Then a youthful lawyer stepped
forward to plead for the prisoner.

That it amounts to a heroic passion.
The stork. which spends the win

the bird is regarded is to some extent

If the house takes fire and the
young storks happen to be of an age
at which they cannot be saved by
being taken away from the nest the
