An Albany Hen Sings steamboat
Bill" and Carries Puppies About
Like Cat Does Kittens.

ALBANY, Ga.-Not content with
raising a hen that laid a "barometric
egg," by means of which changes in
the weather could be foretold, Mrs.
w. H. Ware of East Albany has rails
ed another hen which sings Steam
boat Bill"
Some enterprising carnival compa-
ny is missing a good opportunity in
not securing possession of "Chalky, "
Mrs. Wares remarkable hen. This
fowl was Matched by the sun, and
maybe that accounts for her wonder
full attributes.
When Mrs. Ware has company she
goes to the back door and calls for
'Chalky" The hen comes from the
far corner of the garden on the run,
and sings proudly for the company.
"Chalky" will not sing except when
Mrs. Ware sings with her, and will
not sing at all unless the tune is
Steamboat Bill"
Mrs. Ware has some little poodle
puppies which this queer hen carries
about by the nape of the neck, in her
bill, much after the fashion of Tabby
carrying her kittens. The puppies
and the hen are great friends, and
play together about the yard.

HE SCATTERED MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS FROM TRAIN
White Man Is Held at Folkston At
ter Queer Ride.

ter Queer Ride.
Musical instruments instead of
clothing angered a white man, A. F.
M. Miller, from North Carolina, who,
it is alleged, broke into a box car of
a northbound freight train on the
Atlantic Coast Line en- route to Way
cross and threw an assortment along
the right-of-way that would start a
small store. Miller, it is charged,
entered a car in the Jacksonville
yards and began investigating the
packages. He got some shirts, TAX
ing off his old one and substituting
a new one. Then he opened small
boxes, but found nothing to his taste.
When the train was between
Folkston and Race Pond a box was
found that had every appearance of
containing clothes. His dismay was
too great to imagine when he pulled
out carefully wrapped violin. He
forthwith opened the car door and
consigned the said violin to nowhere
in particular. And this continued
until he had unloaded a case of
musical instruments, among them
accordeons, banjos and guitars.
Headquarters in Waycross receiv-
ed notice of the robbery and started
an investigation. Special Officer w.
E. Remley found Miller at a sawmir
2ear Race Pond and brought him
to Waycross.

Quietly working out his destiny
on a farm near Franklin, Pa, John
w. Steele, widely known so years ago
as Coal Oil Johnny" the man to
whom riches proved to be bane, is
regaining' his self-respect after a
hard fight and has become a credit
to himself and his family. After
several decades of patient labor the
one-ime oil king, now nearly 10
years old, reviews his past with re-
greet tinged with a certain quaint
philosophy of life that somehow les
sens the enormity of his offenses
against himself and society.
In the estimation of the public
Goal Oil Johnny stands as the rep
resentatiEe type of the spendthrift
and oil region prodigal Coming into
a large fortune before his judgment
had matured and without anyone to
advise him he set out to see the
world, abandoning his wife and child
and friends; and he saw it. He saw
It as few have seen it before or
This young oil Croesus, who had
more thousands than he knew any
thing of, went a pace that caused
stories of his extravaganza to be
spread far and wide. When he had
finished with the world Steele went
back to the soil, not as an oil pro-
Queer, but as an agriculturist, and
he admits that he has received more
pleasure welding the hoe than he
obtained. in squandering his fortune
Half a Million Dallars.
Johnny was born poor in Mercer
county, Pennsylvania, and at an ear
ly age went to live with his uncle
and aunt, who had large oil farm
on Oil CREEK, Venango county. His
uncle died when the boy was IL, and
a few years afterward oil was discov-
cred, enriching all the land owners
in the valley. Johnny's aunt was
burned TO death by an accident with
an oil can, and Johnny was alone in
the world-just 81, with half a mil
lion dollars in his aunt's safe, and
the oil wells running merrily, aug
menting the hoard every minute.
Like all youths who suddenly &C
quire great wealth he had advisers
by the score. They told him to Save
his money" that "he would need it
some day" The retort was that
since there seemed to be a DISPOSE
ton on,the part of everybody to get
it away from him he guessed he
would spend it before it was stolen.
John by went to Philadelphia, leav-
ing behind his wife, whom he had
married in 1862, and baby son. He
received an offer of a million dollars
for the farm, with 100000 to bind
the bargain. Then he and his friend,
Seth Slocum, at whose door Steele
lays tho greatest blame for his undo
ing, started to paint the Quaker City
lovely vermillion.
Financing Minstrel Show.
His Rext eccentricity was to finance
the fin hncially embarrassed minstrel

on the road, where it did a splendid
business. Mr.. Gaylord has some in
teresti4g recollections of this period:
Reaching Utica, N. Y, Johnny gave
a supper for the company that cost
him $1,000. He then conceived the
idea of travelling by his own train,
and accordingly purchased an engine,
sleeper, and baggage car. Dates for
two weeks ahead were Cancelled, and

TWO TRUE CHICKEN STORIES
In Cold Weather Indiana Mans
Chickens Ride on Sheep to Keep
Their Claws Warm.

PRINCETON, Ind.-Robert Mel
ton, farmer living near here, re-
ports that during the cold weather
the chickens in his barnyard have
made a practice of riding around on
the backs of his sheep, their feet
clutched in the wool and their bod
les cuddled down close to keep warm.
The chickens would hop down
from the sheep only to pick up some
thing to eat.
Mr.. Melton feeds his cattle in two
sheds, and he says some chickens,
following the practice on the sheep
have now taken to perching them
selves on the backs of the cows and
riding from feed stable to another
to pick up the grain scattered about,
thus getting through the deep snow
He says sometimes two or three
chickens will be seen complacently
riding along on the back of a COW.

100000 in One Day.
Johnny once spent 100000 in a
day. That was the time he rented
the Continental Hotel, in Philadel-
phia, and tried to buy the Girard
house. Johnny claimed that he had
been i'll treated by the disdainful
clerk at the Continental and offered
to buy the hotel. The landlord was
only part owner and couldn't sell,
but leased it to Johnny for one day
for $4,000. Johnny became landlord,
Gaylord was bellboy, and Slocum Of
ficiated as clerk. The doors were
thrown open and every guest in the
house had his fill of wine and eata-
bles free of charge. A huge placard
was posted in front of the hotel:
open house today; everything is
free. All are welcome" 1t was a
merry lark. The whole city seemed
to catch on, and the house was full.
When Johnny thought he had had
enough fun he turned the house over
to the landlord, who reinstated the
odious clerk. Mr.. Gaylord says:
Johnny was frantic with rage; he
went over to the Girard House and
tried to buy it. He arranged with
the proprietor to buck the CONT
mental by making the prices so low
that everybody would come there.
The Continental did mighty little
business as long as that arrangement
lasted"
The Day of Reckoning.
At last the day of reckoning ar
rived. The oil gave out and the pro-
jected purchase of the farm was can
celed. Johnny returned home with
very little money and no self-respect.
In 1857 his property was sold by the
sheriff. His wild career had taken
from him for a time all sense of
pride, and he became a wanderer,
with only a few hundred dollars in
his pocket. Wife and child he left
behind. Try as he would he could
not get away from his past and he
was heartsick, but he says he never
once thought of suicide.
At length, forgiven by his wife,
Steele returned home, was warmly
received by Mrs. Steele and his rela-
tives, and started to live down the
past. For a few years he lived in
the West with his family and en-
gagged in railroad work. In the COS
Steele returned to the oil regions.
Since then they have all been living
on the farm of Steele's father-in-
law, where the former oil king en-
joys himself leading the simple life
and working about the farm. He
has enough to live upon comforta-
bly, and is contented, though the les
sons of the past are his favorite topic
of conversation.
