Makes Fine Meal for Goat

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Hanging Irish
green was rather a tame and humane
proceeding, 50 Isidor Spein thinks, when
compared to what he will do to three
Irish goats which didn't wear any
green, but ate large quantity of it,
The green in this case was green
backs. some l45 of them, in 81 denom-
ination.
Mr.. Spen doesn't accept the argu-
ment that he is at fault for leaving so
much green staring Irish goats in the
face His Irish neighbors hold him to
be indiscreet for putting such a tempta-
ton in their way.
Ordinarily the goats are worth 50
apiece, but they increased in value at
an alarming rate, in the opinion of Mr.
Spein, when he discovered they had
made a meal out of his bank roll
Spein, who is a liVeryman, put the
money on table in his office, to which
the Irish goats had access. while he
stepped from the room for a minute.
During his absence the trio wandered in
When Spein returned each was
munChing banknote. No one else was
in sight. He called the chief stable
employe and had him lock the goats in
u stall. They are still there
What punishment he will mete out
tell however, when he RECEIVERS from
his headache.
Furnishing Sl45 meal to three goats
is not very beneficial to the health" he
declared, land ii is no wonder l have
such a headache" ...'

conclusion that he was a man of about

up the cottage once more, stumped in

Finney, working with closed doors and

somewhere about midnight he managed,
being an individual of great muscular
power, to get the load on his back to
cross the yard, and to climb a plank
that led to an opening in the brickwork

edge OF this, preparatory to swinging
his burden into the glowing mass OF

voice, harsh, strident, astonished. fell
upon his ears from the darkness below
him.
Hello. ,Finney! What the devil art

The stump of Finney's wooden leg
slipped on the brickwork; the weight of
the dead mans body pulled him side

TERESA DRISCOLL

Certain exterior signs showed that the
proprietress had notions of her own.

painted rich green color, presumably
as a delicate compliment to the tenants

to taste in the fact that the window. in
stead of being crowded out with hats
bonnets and similar matters. contained
but two confections in the shape OF
toques, which wore truly Partisan air
and communicated a chic appearance
to their surroundings.
A similar air of chaste superiority to
the general rule of provincial millinery
establishments was noticeable on pass
ing the green door with the brass
knocker-the walls were smartly pa
pered and in excellent taste, there was
no disfguring counter and no cane-bot-

and the long mirrors on the walls might

1t was plain to whosoever entered
Miss Driscolls establishment for the
first time that its proprietress was one
of those persons who not only have
ideas Of their own, but know how to
carry out those ideas.
