Michael Feeney Got a Job for Sixteen Reasons

Y ANSAS CITY, Mo.-There were
N sixteen reasons why Michael
Feeney 3OS1 West Prospect. should
receive the appointment of fireman at
the county home from the county
court. and the judges were unani-
nous on that exact number; so Mr..
Feeney got the appointment.
The sixteen reasons were the six
teen children Of Feeney. Neither of
the three judges ever saw nor heard
of Feeney before his name and his
family record was brought before them
and they didn't ask for any political
Endorsements.
The court was not alone in doing
the graceful and proper thing Barney
Kelly. who also hailed from the Emer-
aid Isle, received the appointment
two days ago. He needed the job. he
told the court
But Mike Feeney, who has sixteen
children, needs it worse. and IL It is
all right with your honors l will step
aside and let him have the place" the
very gracious Mr. Kelly informed the
court by special messenger.

to give the place to Mr.. Feeney,"

booked for an address. Mr.. Choats
was about to begin his address when
a man crawled up to Butler, and whis,
pered to him that the joists in the
floor and the supporting beams were
giving way because of the heavy pres.
sure on the floor, and they were like
ly to collapse any moment. Butler
turned to the man and whispered to
him: Keep quiet" Then turning to
the audience, he said: "A man has
brought me information that outside
OF this hall there are not less than
twenty thousand people clamoring for
admission. / propose to adjourn this
meeting to the common, where all can
hear Mr. Choate. Now just see how
quickly we can empty this hall"
Meanwhile Choate was tugging ct But

Stop, Ben. Why, / can't see to read

Stotesbury. wife of the head of Drexel

livery of footmen. Each is armed
with a revolver and a badge, setting
forth that he is empowered to make

The fact was disclosed the other aft

HAD BEEN PRETTY

BY GEORGE MuNsoN.

Miss Agatha Browne was thirty-ilve
and looked older. She had been pretty
when she was a girl-that could easily
be seen from the regular contour OF
her face. her soft, clear skin, and the
gray eyes which even her detraetors
allowed would be beautiful II she did
not hide them behind those hideous
round spectacle lenses. Miss Agatha
Browne was professor OF economies al

people know, receives only selected
girl pupils from among the first fami'
lies OF the south.
Prof. Sampson Boylett Instructed
the same select young ladies' IN Ro.

BOXED his age, He was a short-sight-
Cd bachelor who lived for his hobby,

was not thinking about them, he was
usually not thinking about anything.

Browne he was entirely oblivious OF
that fact. II they met face to face In
an exceedingly narrow alley he would

Armed with a kitchen broom Mrs. a.

through the window of her home the
other day after he had cooked and
eaten a midnight repast in her kitchen
and was in the act of carrying away
the dining room silver, which he had
carefully wrapped in a tablecloth.
Mrs. Howard and her husband live
at 729 College street. Her slumbers
early in the morning were disturbed
by a rafting sound downstairs in the
dining room. Descending, she beheld
a young man wrapping her silver in a
tablecloth. Grabbing a broom, Mrs
Howard rushed into the dining room,
crying:
Get out of here!"
The burglar recovered from his
labors just in time to dodge a
mighty swipe of the broom aimed al
his head.

What do you mean by trying to steal
my silver?" angrily exclaimed Mrs
Howard as she made the broom fairly

stood transfxed, gazing at her in 81

Don't you hear me?" cried the
woman as she swung a third time at
the intruder, who ducked just as the
broom whizzed by his ear.
Then Mrs. Howard charged. Thia
seemed to awaken him to full reali
zation of his peril, for he turned and
ran toward an open window, through
which he had made his entrance, As
le started to leap into space the broom
landed, fairly battering him through
the easement.
