BURGLAR MEETS
 HIS WIFE IN
 CITY COURT PEN
They Are up on Separate Charges -Cognac and Lucid Bound
 Over For Lyman Burglary

Under bonds of s2.5O0 apiece Joseph Lucid and Joseph Cognac, the two men arrested in Waterbury for the burglary of F. Lyman's store at 920 Main street, were bound over in the city court this morning, for trial in the superior court.
 Lucid, who is young Irishman, just few months over in this coun- try, pleaded guilty; the other, who is an. old offender with a record here for burglary and theft from the per son, pleaded not guilty; but he is in- volved by Lucid's confession.
 According to Lucid's version of the affair, as related with a rich brogue on the witness stand this morning, the two men met in Trough Louie's'' place on Bank street and planned the through a tenement and into the space in back of Lyman's store; then forced a window and one burglarized the store while the other kept watch.
 They took their swag to Seaside park and buried it for two days, then digging it up at an opportune time and taking it to Waterbury. Here Cognac attempted to pawn some of the watches and chains, but a des- cription of the missing articles had been sent out by the Bridgeport po- lice, and COgnac was at once arrest ed. Lucid was carrying his share of the swag in a bag on the street when the Waterbury police nabbed him.
 Lucid made a complete confession to the Waterbury police in Cognac's presence. and the latter made no at tempt to deny or correct the others 8 story. Coming down from Waterbury on the train with Detective Cronan. Lucid again repeated the story in Cognac's presence. Under these cir cumstances it was expected that Cog mac would plead guilty, but he sur prised the officials by entering a plea of not guilty this morning. Cognac's home is at 337 Railroad avenue and he has gone variously under the aliases of Joseph Cognac, Joseph Ma gruder and Joseph Magyar, the last said to be his right name, although Coenac is the title commonly used.
 In the prisoners pen this morning, sat a woman named Margaret Cog mac, the common law wife of the ac- cused burglar. She was arrested Sat urday night as the result of a row with some men along the waterfront. John Anderson, captain of a vessel, was arrested for assaulting her, but was found not guilty and discharged.
 Mrs. Cognac was accused of drunk enness and was sentenced to spend 30 days in jail. When she heard this sentence she screamed and tainted and raised a hullaballop until taken from the room by Matron Jack.

oath.rina sten.. For reeth

Upon the rocky coast of Normandy between Havre and Dieppe are to be seen numbers of men and boys of all ages walking slowly up and down the shore and occasionally picking up a pebble and placing it carefully in sacks which they carry. When these sacks are filled they are carried to 8 foreman, who examines the pebbles carefully and pays the collector. The pebbles gathered are not very abundant, but the washing of the shore produces more each day, and the work goes on. while the business-for 1t really is quite an industry-seems to pay those en- gagged in it. These small stones or peb- bles are shipped across the sea to the United States, where they are reduced to 8 fine powder, which is afterward converted into very fine grade of DOT celain, from which many of the best false teeth are made.-Exchange.

Kansas

Medora, Kan, Nov. 23-Any one can
see novel sight by visiting the farm
of John Heden, two miles south of
Medora. or by happening to be here
when the farmer comes to town with
his butter, eggs and other produce.
Following custom established 25
years ago, Farmer Heden's horses all
wear trousers. These garments are
not elaborate or expensive; merely the
blue duck overalls, such as Mr. Heden
himself wears.
eyes, the horses wear pants the year
round" Mr.. Heden told party of au-
tomobilists passing this way recently.
"And what is more, they have been
wearing them on my farm for 25 years.
I don't discriminate as to sex, eth
er, for Colonel Nance 'Maude,' and
Kate all wear pants"
One of the morning chores Of the
harvest hand who hires out at the
Heden farm is to put trousers on
the Colonel" before he takes him to
the watering trough and then to the
field.
Through the high-wasted, bell-bOttom
period Of trousers, down through the
skin-tight years. ON through the peg
top decade and now to the tight-fit-
ting English lines, the Heden horses
have worn their trousers just as men
have done during all these years.
1t is a startling spectacle to strang-
ers to see team Of horses, clad In
neat blue overalls, come trotting down
the street, but that is the way Farm.
er Heden and his horses come to town
with the spring wagon, with eggs and
butter to market. OF course the hors
ess trousers are not creased 80 often
as many men are accustomed to have
theirs pressed, but then they are moi
such stickiers for style out here In
the wheat belt.
When Mr.. Heden buys overalls he
buys three pairs, one for himself ant
two for his horses. The horses arr
not hard on their trousers; pair will
last them more than year.
"People laugh at my horses wearing
pants, but let them laugh; the horse
like it," said Mr.. Heden. "In the sum
mer time they will raise an awfu
fuss II they have to 60 without thei
pants. 1t may look funny, but !
keeps the flies from pestering then
while they are standing still. Let tn
people laugh; my horses are happy.
