COLONEL TIM PUTS ONE OVER ON HIS
 FRIEND O'BRIEN

When Col. T. J. Murphy read in The Farmer Of the receipt of a cablegram from Chas. J. Byrne, a member of the Board of Relief. by City Assessor Thomas O'Brien he knew that he had put one over on the City Hall coterie who have delighted in making him the victim of their jokes. While the gen. ial Colonel has been the butt of many a good practical joke and has shared in the general laugh, 1t is not often that he has a. chance to get back.
 He btded his time however, and when 1t was about time for Charles J. Byrne to arrive on the other side of the Atlantic, having left Bridgeport several days ago to visit relatives in Ireland, the Colonel conspired with some close friends and the result was that City Assessor O'Br1en received what he sup posed was a genuine cab1egram from his friend on the other side of the wa ter. It develops that the shrewd Col one1 was the author of 1t and 1t was Made in Bridgeport entirely.
 City Assessor O'Brien showed it to the Farmer City Hall reporter as a news item and stated that the cable tolls must have cost c. J. Byrne quite a bit. The Colonel now wishes he sent 1t collect

NEW RAVENS NEW SHOTS.
Road Spending se5O, 900 on Electrical
 Equipment Repair Plant.

CFrom the Press Bureau of the New
 Haven Road
 New Haven's new electrical repair shop, designed to handle all Of the now extensive electrical equipment of the New York, New Haven and Hart ton at Van Ness, Bronx Borough, New York City. It ds expected that it be in operation by August l, or a short time before the identification of the road from Stamford to New Ha- ven Is finished.
 The new shops at Van Ness repre- sent an outlay Of about $65oo00 They will be the most comr2ete shops of their kind maintained by any road in the country. Up till now repairs to the electric Locomotives have been made at the New Haven shops chiefly, but the increase in the electric equip nent due to the identification of the road as far as New Haven has neces- sitated a shop where such work could be done exclusively. The location at Van Ness on the Harlem River branch was decided upon mainly because of freight terminal Of the road, which is already electrified and where a. large part of the electrical equipment must necessarily be employed.
 The new shops cover two acres of ground. They are made up of an in spection shed, a repair shop proper, a live vat house. bIascksmith shop, a storehouse and a power house. The inspection shed has four track pits S75 feet long. The repair shop proper covers nearly an acre and half of ground and is two stories high. The power house covers 5000 square feet and the storeh ouse 7,500 square feet. All are built of red brick.
 There is a small steam plant, chief ly for heating purposes. but the power used in these big shops will be the same power that moves the trains on the road It will be supplied by the great power plant at Cos Cob, Conn, which not only moves all the electric trains now run between New York and Stamford, but the trains on the new Westchester and Boston road as well.
 An entire electric locomotive could be constructed in the new shops, 90 complete are they. When 1t is con- sidered that the New Haven now has total of ninety-nine electric locomo- tives besides twenty-three urultfp1e- unit motor cars the necessity for the new shops becomes apparent. The ninety-nine electric 1ocomotives are made up of sixteen switching 1oconlo- lives, forty-sev passenger lococno- tfves and thirty-six freight. Not all Of these locomotives are in service as vet most Of the new freight locomo- lives being held in storage at Van Ness pending the completion Of the electrifcation to New Haven, when all trains. both passenger and freight. 1t is expected. will move under electric power.
 eines intended to pull freight trains between the Harlem terminal and New Haven, and which have all been de Iivered. are fifty feet long and weigh 16O tons. They have four drive wheels on a sire and these are driven by eight
 exert a maximum tT4ac+ive effort of 10000 tons and will haul a, 1,5oo ton freight train at maximum speed of thirty-five miles an hour.

If you have sore feet, tired feet. sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet, smelly feet, corns, calluses or bunions, read what happened to Mrs. Crockett, of Jeffersonville. TIZ did it. MT. Crockett says: ''After the second treat ment she walked down stairs one foot at time. She had not been able to walk down stairs before in past five years, except by stepping down on each step with one foot at a time. This is remarkable. Send five more boxes.''

 What is the history of Japan as a coIonizer7
 In 1895 Japan acquired her first colo ny, the small island of Formosa. Since then she has obtained the island of Sakhalin by the treaty of Portsmouth and Korea by annexation. She also has in her possession, through lease from China, the small province of Kwangtung, which includes Port Ar thur, and a long, narrow strip of land along the Manchurian railroad. The E., number in these territories. They are born coIonfzers, and Californians and Americans in the Philippines and in Hawaii, recognizing this characteris- tic, do not look with favor upon the Japanese. For example, the Japanese population in Hawaii numbered 22,o00 in 1896, 56OO0 in 1900 and SO,0OO in 1910, according to the census figures.

HcMw bong was t< after Thon9a0 A. Edi- son commenced to study music that he perfected the phonograPh7
 While the extent of NIT. Edison's mu- sicaI knowledge is not generally known, 1t can safely be said that this knowledge, even if he had it, would have aided him little in invent1ng the photograph. The phonograph is mere ly a device to record and reproduce sounds accurately by means of the vi- bration of a diaphragm of exceedingly thin metal, and it will reproduce dis cords quite as distinctly as 1t will the finest operatic music.

Boy Dies After Fellow Workers
Initiate Abdomen.

Joseph De Fini, eighteen years old,
who was employed in the plant of the
Victor Talking Machine company in
Camden, N. J.. died in the Cooper
hospital as a result of injuries sus-
tained when two Of his fellow work
men forced a tube down his throat
and filled his abdomen with COM
pressed air.
The cause of death was rupture OF
the abdomen, caused by the admission
of compressed air. Detectives have ar
rested the two men on a charge OF
atrocious assault and battery. They
are: Eugene Bysher. Of Philadelphia
and Walter Simon, of Camden, each
about twenty years old.
It was learned by the detectives
that the other employees in De Fini's
department objected to his presence
because Of his nationality. He is an
Italian. For some time past they have
been making him uncomfortable by
playing practical jokes on him.
Bysher and Simon caught De Ftnt
in a dark corner Of the room in which
he works and told him they we're go
ing ito have some fun with him"
They threw him to the floor and then
forced brass tube down his throat.
Although the youth cried for help
they attached a pump to the tube and
filed the youths stomach with COM
pressed air.
Later he was removed to the hospl-
tai in an unconscious condition. The
doctors were nonplussed, as they
could obtain no intelligent history Of
the case. and could not understand
the strange symptoms He died an
hour after he had been admitted, and
Coroner Bentley discovered the cause
of death. Immediately detectives were
sent to the factory. where they arrest
ed the two men.

and some dense shade where they may

things. they need more sleep than adult
animals. The pasture must be fenced

be turned into richer feed caution must
be used that they are not Injured by

slowly increasing the time each day.
