m EW YORK.-About hundred per
~ sons, attracted by the noise of bat
ne, watched Kilkenny, an Irish goat
with a disposition for fight and an
h1shman's love of fair play, rush into
me breach and wallop the stuf1ng out
of Nose, a big buck elk, who was wor-
rying an Angora goat in one Of the
enclosures In Central park the other
day.
Keeper Hoey said Nose was such q
Quarrelsome elk that he separated him
from the herd and put him in an en-
closure with Kilkenny.
"They respected each other, though
the goat weighed 500 pounds less than
the elk" said Hoey, "and everything
went all right until l put an Angora
goat in the enclosure. Scarcely was
the Angora in the enclosure when
Nose charged, lowering his four ant
lers, sharp and hard as rock, and lift
ing the poor, frightened goat high In
the air.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Thousands of
fish In the Mississinewa river, In
the Hoosier state, acquired free jag
the other day, when the beer in the
yats of the Indiana Brewery were
empt1ed into It. And the way they
acted was enough TO call forth set
Of resolutions from the Indianapolis

Catfish, carp, white suckers, red
horse and bass behaved something
scandalous. They reeled and stag
gered and threw fiip-haps in the air.
Men and boys came from several
miles around, when they heard of the
bun party, and gathered in the drunks.
Every once In a while a bunch of
bullheads and pouts that had sworn
sternal fealty to eachNother came to
the surface, waved their flippers at

The beer was measured and 1t was

Bankrupt, Little Old Man Seeks Fortune as Newsie

He held out a paper to a passing
man. The customer reached into his
pocket, and was Immediately assailed
by a ragged boy of twelve, who
showed a paper into his hand, seized
the cent, and was gone.
The little man tucked the paper
back under his arm.
That doesn't seem fair TO me-" ne
observed. "He stole my customer.
Still, / suppose ! will have TO expect
that. Perhaps I, too, may learn to
do it"
No one knows the name of the little
man. He refuses TO give 1t.
II wouldn't like the people at home
to know that l am forced to sell news
papers on the street." he explained.
you surely wouldn't ask me to do
that, would you?

After waiting patiently for some
months, no word was heard from
Beyers other than that he was seen In
Milwaukee. The girl pleaded the case
with her father and he consented to
her trip to this city. In order to pay
the expense Of the Journey he took a
mortgage OF 800 upon his property.
When she errived in Milwaukee
Florence fought the aid of District At
torney Yockey and he showed keen
interest In her welfare. With no furth-
or information than q description Of
Beyers, the of1cial took up the search
and was rewarded with success.
The two met In Mr.. Jockeys once
and greeted each other warmly. where

n LEVELAND, GA little man in
~ a somewhat frayed gray suit
stood on the corner of Euclid avenue
and East Ninth street the other after
noon. Under his arm was a bundle OF
pink and green sporting extras.
1t was his first day as a newsboy
His voice was somewhat weak, but
he manfully tried to make it pene-
trate into the Jumbled sea of street
noises. Under the determined ex.
preston Of his face there was great
embarrassment almost shame.
He had only 15 papers in all. Even
the smallest of the hundreds OF
-hustlers' who swarmed through the
rush-hour crowds had 40 papers.

cessfui I was to be-" explained the

that l might have some unsold papers
on my hands; 30 only bought 20 at
nrst Tomorrow, however, I think
shall buy at least 40-perhaps 60"

MoRGANToWlN, Feb. 1S.--Wesi
virginia won the sixth contest in rife
shooting last week from the Univer
slty Of Nebraska with a score of s47
to $40. This victory puts West var
ginIa in the lead. Until last week
she was tied with Iowa University for
first place, but Iowa tied with the
Michigan Aggles'iast week, and West
virginla,s clean victory over Nebras
ka gave her undtsputed title to first
place. The score in the Iowa and
Michigan contest was 9SS.
Incidentally, West Virginia made
thq highest, team record SO far in the
contest. ,Uutil the locals hung VI
a score of s47, Purdue had a team
record OF 941, which was the high
score to that time.
There is still another record con
nected with West Nlrgtnia's shooting
1ast week. zoe BdwseDJ OF Charles

Ing from prone position, and a score
oi,s4 out OF, a possible one hundred ed
shooting from the standing position
This is the best individual score 50
far recorded.
West Virginia has seven remaining
maches 10 shoot, and all these should
be easy victories, excepting, of course

7vlrginlans maintain their present
standard, they will have little diff
