FIGHT FOR WANDERING PUP
Litigation Makes Collie the Most
Expensive Dog In Delaware
County,.

Darby, Pa.-After litigation that has
been fought in the Delaware county
courts nearly two years, at an ex-
pense Of several hundred dollars, Har-
ry Tyler. the well-known builder, has
been awarded possession of a collie
dog, which had been claimed by EN-
ma Schriner.
The dog, a cute little puppy when
the lawsuit started, but now fully
grown, is probably the most costly one
In Delaware county.
Tyler testified that he owned the
puppy, which wandered away one day.
Its owner unknown, 1t rambled into
the Main street store Of Richard
Plrdy, whose attendant, when closing
time came, gave 1t away to a little
boy, who subsequently sold it to Mrs.
Schriner for 81.
Learning where his dog was, Tyler
made a demand for it; but Mrs.
Schriner, believing that the little AMI
NAL was hers by right of purchase, re.
fused to give it up.
Tyler brought suit to replevin the
puppy and won. But there was an ap-
peal. and after fully considering the
case Judge Johnson refused the mo-
ton for the new trial, and the dog has
been given over into Tyler's posses
sion.

ASSERTS FISH HAS MEMORY
Novel Exhibition With Trout 10 Given
by an Expert to Uphold
This Theory.

An expert in fish culture, who be.
lieves that fish have memories, gave
a novel exhibition to support his
theory.
In one of the enclosed pools at the
hatchery under his charge there was
a very large trout which always came
forward to see and be seen when
visitors appeared. 1t was the experts
custom, after calling particular atten.
ton to that trout, to raise his cam
quickly and hold it over the water.
The performance would have no effect
upon the trout.
Then the expert would produce a
light trout rod and appear with it at
the side of the pool. Instantly that
trout would turn and fee, hide itself
at the far end of the enclosure and
remain there so long as the rod was
in sight.
This is the explanation Of the sud-
den change in the trout's demeanor:
One day, early In the career Of the
fish, the expert, to try a barbless
hook he had devised, cast with one
in that pool, and this trout seized. it.
The hook penetrated and passed
through its upper jaw, and by the
time it was released from the hook 1t
had undergone an experience that
made a lasting impression upon it.
The expert discovered loon after the
hooking Of the trout that whenever
he approached the pool with his rod
the trout would instantly dash to a
place of hiding, although 1t paid no
attention to a cane or other stick held
over the water. The trout lived for
years in that pool and never failed to
show it's fear Of a trout rod as long
as it lived.

BLIND MAN RECEIVERS SIGHT
Piece Of cornea 10 Ingrafted on Ono
Eye-Taken to Window, Describes
View and Darkness Returns.

Paris.-A pathetic story was told
this week Of a patient in a hospital
who could see once, but has been blind
for many years and had recently re-
covered his sight only to lose It again.
A piece Of M was migrated on
n eye and the patient kept under
observation four days with his eyes
bandaged. Then he was taken to a
window and the bandage was remov-
ed. He gave a cry Of Joy. for his sight
had been restored. In transports of
Joy he described the color Of the trees
and told Of the realization of HIS LIES
dream to see again the beautiful
things Of nature.
The view was only permitted for a
moment. Two days later be was
again led to the window for another
sight Of the waving trees, but when
the bandage was removed slowly he
was unable to see. The bit of grated
cornea had ceased to be a living thing.
The operation had failed Just when It
seemed about to succeed.

that he was legally adopted.
g. In 1905 Mary Jane Townsend died.
and a month later Cyrenieus followed
her. They had had no children and
both died without making a will, and
a horde of Townsend heirs appeared
as claimants.
Frank made application to the sur

application was denied, proof being

appeared before Attorney Thomas

BUYS CARLOAD
OF FINE COWS
FOR FARMERS
H. D. Parker Returns From Wis
consin Where He Found Prices
High for Good Dairy Stock

H. d. Parker, proprietor Of the
Guernsey dairy farm, has returned
from q trip to Wisconsin, where he
went recently with the intention OF
buying several carloads Of regis
tered Guernsey cattle, but found
that the prices were so high on
them there that he did not think II
would be a profitable Investment.
Mr.. Parker, however. purchased
about two carloads, or 40 head. Half
of these he will bring here to sell
to dairymen in this vicinity at from
$3.50 to $500 q head. The other
half of the lot he expects to sell In
Iowa on his way back.
When 1t was found that the
Guernsey cattle were held at sucn
high prices in Wisconsin Mr.. Park
er decided that the farmers here
we're not familiar enough with their
good qualities to pay such prices,
60 he was afraid to invest in ~
many as he had intended to brine
back. The Iowa farmers and dairy,
men do not hesitate to pay high
prices for such cattle as he is
bringing here, which are all reg
istered and high-class cattle.

The play is being staged by Miss

this fall some ideas for charming
bits of action that are being effect
lively introduced into the fabric Of
the story.
The plan for this years enter
tainment will be substantially that
of 1.-The Piper" with such modi1'
cations as experience indicates for
its betterment. There will be q
free matinee for the school children
of the city on Wednesday afternoon,
December IS, and the night of the
day following. Dec. 10, q pay per-
formance for grownups will be given
to pay the cost of producing the
play. Surplus proceeds will be used
to purchase art books for the Gree
ley public library. Seats will be
sold at popular prices, 25 and eO
cents.
Because this Is Christmas time
play the dates have been set for the
week preceding Christmas. and az
the days will be at their shortest
then, the matinee will start at 2
O'Clock, the play will last an hour
and thirty minutes, and enable the
youngsters to reach homo before
dusk. 1t is thought best not to in
clude the first and second grade
children in the guests at the natl
nee, as they find 1t so hard to sit
still so long. and get SO little out
of 1t. Hence it will be for all Gree
ley school children beginning with
the third grades and run to the sixth
grade to the number that the house
will seat.
