Thick and Thin.

'sIt's a funny thing" remarked tbs observing 1oan. "that particularly stout and particularly thin people can discover insinnations ih regard to their size where absolutely none Is meant.

One was lit tie thread of woman who glanced contemptuously~ at two we'll meaning persons who moved apart and made a space between them which looked wide enough for her to seat herself with comparative comfort

 ''We had not proceeded far when an extremely Stout woman entered the car. She was carrying two huge bun dies and looked tired. Three men in a row sprang to their feet as she began to lurch about as the car started. She administered a savage glance at them and said. quite audibly:
 Well. never! I guess if it's got to the point where I take up three seats I'd better stand up awh1ieP "- Buffalo Express.

DAY
 IN PROBATE COURT I

"I hear they get fried chicken every Friday at the county home, is that so ?'' asked 11-year-o1d Wilbur Reed, as he sat in the probate office today waiting for Judge B. F. Hallen to make out papers that would commit him to the County home at NorwaIk.
 tfWeH I don't know about every Friday replied Clerk Harry F. Lyons, ':but they consider they are starved down there if they don't get fried chicken about three times a, week
 'tAIl right" responded Wilbur, "I'l1 go there.''
 Wilbur is a, co1ored boy. His mother, Ella Reed is i'll in the Bridgeport hos pitaI with pneumonia. His father, Oscar Reed is i'll at St. Vincent's hos pita1. The child has no relatives who will care for him so under the circurn- stances it was thought best to commit him to the county home.
 It was childrenss day in the Pro- bate Court. Evelyn Hopkins, aged 4, whose only living parent is her father, William Hopkins, now confined in the State prison, was committed to the county home.
 Ida Pe1ikan, aged 4, was committed to St. Francis home in New Haven. Ida has been in the care of Mrs. Graf in South avenue under the direction of the Charities board Louis and Helen Pelikan, her father and mother deserted her some time ago and at the same time abandoned her two broth CTS and two sisters. Awaiting the coming of Clerk Whaley to take her to New Haven, Ida played about the floor in the probate office this morn ing. She is a pretty little girl and at tracted the attention of all visitors to the court.

CAT KILLS SELF AND NEARLY KILLS
 BALDWIN FAMILY

By jumping on a gas range in the kitchen and turning gas jet, Big Tom, a pet cat owned by Herbert c. Baldwin, asphyxiated itself and nearly asphyxiated the Baldwin family on Wednesday night. MT Baldwin con ducts a cafe on Cannon street and lives at 81 Worth street! Wednesday night after business he went home and attempted to perform the accus- toned duties of a married man by winding the clock and putting the cat out. Kitty did not want to go however and took refuge in the kitchen. MT Baldwin decided to allow him to re-
 main there, but as Big Tom is an animal with rather rowing dispo- sition, Baldwin shut all the doors so that the eat could not roam the other rooms in case it awakened early.
 About o'clock next morning MT. BaIdwin's sister-in-law awoke, and sme1led escaping gas Investigation disclosed the fact that one of the shut-offs on the gas range was open, and that the gas was escaping. The fumes from the kitchen had pene- trated other parts of the house. MT. and Mrs. Baldwin were hardly able to arise when MT. Ba1dwin's sister-in- law called them. She. had been sIeep- mig beside an.t open. window and the poisonous gas had not affectedher. The gas penetrated to the. flat above and made the occupants, MT and Mrs. F. D. Hossaple, i'll.
 Big Tom, a, handsome feline with tiger markings, was found dead in the kitchen Whether in stirring about in the night he accident1y opened the gas flow or whether he intended to com init suicide will probably always re- main a, mystery.

Al El,xir of Life.

"An annuity is the best elixir of life I know of" said the examining physi- clan of an insurance company. "It sometimes seems as if annuitants nev- CT die. We have lots on our books who top eighty. ninety and even nine ty-fVe years. I have passed many a sickly and decrep1t old fellow as a good annuity risk-the sicklfer they are. you know, the better risk they make and the next year he has turned up to collect his annuity rejuvenated, rosy, spry as boy.
