MOTHER HUBBARD AND DOC DESTITUTE.
Not a Bone in Cupboard Pocketbook = S. p c. A. to
Care for

Gooseville, M. G., January "a. -
Once a leader in society here, Mother
Hubbard, widow Of the late Henry
Hubbard, the inventor, was discov-
cred destitute in her squalid rooms
at 305 East Fifth Street last night
by Patrolman Finnegan. Her dog.
Vincent, who was with her at the
time, was also suffering from lack
Of nourishment.
The only thing that stood between
the two and starvation was an empty
cupboard in the bed room. The
discovery Of the two followed curl
Gus advertisement which appeared in
the lost-and-found columns Of morn
ing paper. The ad ran as follows:
Lost, strayed or stolen. one bone.
Was last seen in cupboard at my
home. Finder will kindly commun-
icate with x1144, The Daily Fizzle.
1t was at first thought that the
advertiser had lost dollar and was
referring to the missing money by a

II I wrapped each share in a sheet

To make matters worse, the cost
Of living mounted continually as the

At last. we-that Is Vincent and my
self-were down to a single bone.
I would make soup Of 1t for each
meal by boiling 1t in water over the
gas jet. I would then consume this
rather thin consomme and give VIM

each OF these meals I was careful to
lock the bone in the cupboard.
This morning Vincent became
hungry earlier than usual, and I
thought I might as we'll let him
gnaw on the bone bit between meals.
1t couldn't hurt the bone any, and
it would do Vincent lot Of mag

picture, if you can, my horror and
surprise at finding the cupboard
empty. The door was locked as
usual. I do not think that Vincent
is guilty. In the first place 1 have
too much confidence in his honesty
to believe him capable Of such an
act. In the second place he didn't
have a key and could not have gotten
into the cupboard. I looked all over
the house before I reported the oc-
currence to the police. I have noticed
a suspicious person hanging about
our place for some weeks"
The police are completely baff1ed
by the mystery. They are looking
for the person as described by Mrs.
Hubbard. He Is said to be Of medium
height, has two legs, as many arms,
wears a four-in-hand tie and is
smooth shaven.
The attention Of the s. P. c. A. |
has been called to the case, and a |
large auto-ambulance called at the |
house to take Vincent to the City
Home for Homeless Animals. Thus |

Mrs. Hubbard, however, has not been |
aiken care of.

outside disturbance may distract the
attention Of his stomach from the fact
that it hasn't had any professional

days. Vincent is all I have left
and he has wasted away until even
he isn't much"
The animal barked and tried to
lick his mistress hand. She jerked
it quickly away and continued.

Free Seed Testing For
Kentucky

1t may not be generally kno to
farmers and Others in Kentucky that
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station is well equipped to
test samples that may be submitted
with a view to learning their quail
ity, either as to purity or germina-
ton. A new laboratory for this
work has been planned and is now
nearing completion. When our in
cubators and other appliances are
established it will be one OF the
most complete in this country.
The Station has already won a
reputation for work of this sort
not only in this country but Europe,
and those sending samples can be
assured that they will be tested
we'll and as promptly as our iacili
ties will permit. Samples will be
examined in the order in which they
are received.
To get fair tests it is necessary
that the sample be taken from
bulk lot after a thorough mixing
of the seeds. Samples OF red clover
sapling clover, alsike clover, alfalfa,
orchard grass, English bluegrass
and rye grass should contain two
ounces each. Samples OF Kentucky
bluegrass, Canada bluegrass, red
top and timothy should weigh one
ounce each. The samples should be
put in stout paper envelope, not
in ordinary correspondence snveloP-
es because they are easily broken in
