New York Woman Tells Judge She
Carries Alarm Clock Always Lest

New York.-Patrolman Hellmutb
was passing jefferson Market court
the other morning, in Greenwich ave-
nue.. when he was startled by the
clangor of an alarm clock. On the
sidewalk close to the wall reclined a
woman of middle age, who sat up and
rubbed her eyes. The policeman took
the woman to the station house, and
later in the day she was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Breen, the alarm clock
still attached to her wrist. She gave
her name as Myrtle Reed.
This is my little alarm clock" said
the woman in reply to the magistrate.
Il am apt to fall asleep wherever
may be, and as | am a very heavy
sleeper, l always keep the alarm set
an hour ahead When go to sleep I'M
Ger the stars like to be walked by
the clock better than by a police

Not having the wherewithal to pay
a fine of one dollar, the woman was
led to a cell, and as she left the court
room the clock rang again.

READING REALLY A FINE ART

The duty of taking the reading OF
the run of books, old and new, more
seriously. and going through the
whole with grim determination, rests

We do not here refer, says the New
York Times, to reviewers, or the old
jokes about their preserving critical
impartiality by not reading the works
of which they write notices. TAe
question is, rather, of those who read
for pleasure, or to amass information,
or TO keep their intellectual interests

end? The best answer Is to be had
from the great readers. Macaulay
could dispose of half a dozen books
In his cab on the way to the house Of
commons. Naturally, he did not read
them through" But il there was any
thing in any of them that he wanted.
his unerring eye hit upon the passage.
That was enough for him. He had
squeezed out the juice, and what did
he care about the pulp? DR.. Johnson
had similar habits. Adam Smith said
of him: johnson knew more books
than any man." yet, Immediately aft
er recording this tribute, Boswell
wrote of his hero: HE had a peculiar
facility in seizing at once what was
valuable in any book. without submit
ting it to the labor Of perusing 1t
from beginning to end"

Then they can advertise to the
farmers a sure. solution of the, old

the bird to chase crows away from his

crow he would start running toward
it, waving his. arms and loudly shout
ing Get out! Get OUT"
Poll was an interested observer and

Buffalo "BiIIy" Tries to Eat a Live

Buffalo, N. Y.-Late the other after
noon the police were notified by tele-
phone that a person had been killed
by fallen electric light wire at Court
and Fourth streets.
The reserves were sent out at once
and found Patrolman Tom Hayes on
guard over a dead goat. A live wire
dangling from pole, the multitude of
children explained, had been a tempt
ing morsel for the goat and it tried
to eat the wire.
More than 100 youngsters wanted to
go to the station house and make
statements in reference to the goats
death. Nobody, however, seemed to
know who owned the goat A boy
said it was carried down the canal on
a canalboat more than a week ago,
and since then had been claimed by
everyone in the neighborhood.
The goat still held the live wire in
its mouth when the police arrived and
its hair was burning. The electric
light company turned of the power,
the goat was dragged away, and the
excitement ended.

The American has discovered in
this connection that climbing two

that could better be used above among
