CHUNG TO HER MORTAL LIFE
Little Thing Like Having Head Cut Off Apparently Did Not Worry
 California Hen.

A headIess hen that, for 12 hours after she was decapitated walked around the corral like any other chicken, has been worrying Ephraim Tucker a local stationery merchant, residing at 40S Eureka street, accord ing to a Redlands fCaD dispatch to the New York Herald. The hen had been suffering several days from what is known as the gapes. She became so sickIy that after.a conference with his wife Tucker decided to cut the hens head off and end her misery.
 When he performed the operation the wound did not bleed. Instead of futtering to the ground the hen walked off a few feet and stood still. Tucker was puzzled.
 When he returned at II o'clock he went back to the corral with Ian tern. The hen was still standing, and in addition had laid an egg.
 Next morning the merchant went to the chicken yard once more. The head less hen had moved 20 feet, but was apparently as full of life as any of the other chickens.
 Tucker could stand it no longer. He seized the hen and with the hatchet cut of what was left of it's neck. This time the hen futtered and died.

Measurina Man's Worth.

Dr. Katherine M. H. BlAckford told the Efficiency society at its annual meeting some of tho ways of meas uring mans worth almost as accur- ately as though his moral and mental qualities could be placed upon the scales. All that tho man doing the measuring has to do is to keep tab on something like 54 characteristics and qualifications. Ono must be very careful not to make mistakes" Doc tor Blackford admitted. There was a foreman once who expressed dissat- isfaction with the methods. He showed his tables. The group of workmen under him measured up: Cheerfulness, 100 per cent; accuracy, orderliness, 100 per cent. Then, asked his employer. what's the mat ter?' Aw,' said the foreman, they're so darned gloomy"

 Whistler looked at the man with iA terest: then he smiled politely. Please put tho hat on" he said. and the anGrJ man did 60. Whistler looked him over critically from head to foot; then in hh peculiar. drswlinE manner. he said:

IT . Naturalist Painted.

If were to paint the short days of winter should paint two towering ice bergs approaching each other like promontories, for morning and eve ming, with cavernous recesses. and a solitary traveller wrapping his cloak about him and bent forward against the driving storm, just entering the narrow pass. would paint the light of a taper at midday. seen through a cottage window, half buried in snow and frost. .. In the foreground should appear the harvest. and far in the background. through tho pass. should be seen tho sewers in the fields and other evidences of spring. On the right and left of the approaching ice- berys tho heavens should be shaded o6 from tho light of midday to mid night with its stars. tho sun being low in tho sky.-Henry David Thoreau.

TOO MUCH FOR HER PATIENCE
Daughter Was Used to Strangers Bothering Her Mother But Here
 She Drew the Line.

Veteran of three suffragette pa rades and as many D. A. R. campaigns as she was, she completely lost her poise in an upper Broadway street car, recites the New York Times. A well-groomed woman of at least forty summers and a swo-slit skirt, left her seat on the opposite side of the car and took that directly in front of the young veteran and her mother.
 Pardon me-" began the newcomer addressing the elder of the two, I'm in trouble about my canary bird. He doesn't sing, mopes on his perch, and has completely lost his appetite. You look so like a woman who solves her own household problems that I have taken the liberty to ask you about one of mine What shall 1 do for my c,ls nary?"
 Take him to bird doctor" snapped the daughter.
 Mother and questioner alike gasped in astonishment.

AMATEUR BURGLAR
 ROBS POSTOffjCf
DISCOVERED BY MARSHAL
CONWAY BOY SUSPECTED OF PILE E R I NJ c ABOUT $7
 WORTH OF STAMPS.

A burglar who is evidently a novice at the business entered the Conway postoffice about 2:30 o'clock this morning and stole about $7 worth of r5;&nips which had been left out of the vault. The intruder was dis covered while in the postoffice building bA Night Marshal John Durham, who fr-d three shots at him, but he made his escape. "A local boy is suspected by the officer, but no arrest has as yet s$en made.
 1.-The thief is supposed to made his ~entrance into the postoffice by pulling out one of the large mail drawers which had been leTt unlocked and crawling through the opening. On his regular rounds Durham in pass ing the rear of the postoffice building saw the man inside. The lights had beet turned out, but the officer was able to distinguish that the intruder was young white boy, apparently not over IS years of age, weighing about 40 pounds.
 Seeing that the man had not entered from the rear of the building, Dur ham rushed around the front and waited for him to come out. After waiting several minutes, the officer broke out the glass door leading into the postmasters private office, but the burglar then ran to the back door and was taking down bar to get out when Durham ran to the clerks door broke out another glass and fired three shots at the intruder, as he was leaving Mr. Durham gave chase but was unable to overtake the mgn. Postmaster H. B. Ingram was at once notified and accompanied by Denuty o. l.. Honea and MT. Dur ham. easily tracked the burglar for | distance of about a mile to the wes- tern part of the city. Durham said the house to which the tracks led con- firmed his suspicious as to the identity of the thief.
 Deputy Postmaster J. A. Setzler .aid that about $7 worth of loose stamps in the drawer at the stamp window were taken, all the money ex- aept one penny having been put in she safe. Of the stamps 13 were of the 25 cent variety and the others were of smaller denominations. There was no indication that the burglar had made any attempt to open the safe.
 Government postoffice officials have been notified of the robbery, and 1t is thought that local and county ofti- gers will turn the case over to them, as the burglarizing of postoffice constitutes a federal crime.

LITTLE THINGS IN BUSINESS
In Many Ways They Have an impor- tance That at First Seems Out
 of Proportion.

A seemingly insignificant word Is Detail" but have you ever stopped to consider that success is dependent on 1t in a large measure or that failure may be the outcome, if you neglect the most trivial detail?
 Competition today is so keen that the alert and energetic business man will make it a point to see that the smallest and seemingly unimportant part of his business has the same care and attention as the most i'm portant parts, for it is the looking after these little things that assists in materially increasing your business and putting it on a higher plane.
 We are prone to attach little sig nificance to letter writing, and still have you ever realized that your let ter is a true index to your business methods, and that carefulness in writ ing is essential, for the impression it conveys is very important?
 The receiving of complaints and the adjusting of them is another es- pecial detail. How many future sales are assured Dy proper adJuSLmenI Ol some wrong, whether real or fancied, and, too, consider the good impression you have helped to promote.
 If we were to attempt to enumerate all the trifles there still would be some missing when we got through, for the little things that need your attention are so varied and happen ing so unexpectedly they necessitate constant watching

Having an Idea, They Have Impressed fs on Their Fellows and the

The nations are series of sbor, experiments A nation may disin. tegrate inside of century It may flower inside of 30 years.

 If now and again some man had not decided to stop drifting and take hold of things and reshape them. there would have been no discovery. no invention, no art He might have said. as many like to say; 'Why not let my big idea rest quietly? There is time enough in the long future Why be in a hurry? Why so hot, lit tle man? There Is quiet sleep In the ehurchyard for the men that have gone before, and soon I too will be there" But, prevailing, he said:
 Now is the time, and the place is here. to bring my idea to action. I insist on being heard. Here is the plan We will not postpone it till next century. We will try it now"
 It is our business to make our Ideas prevail. We are not to go si- lent. nor to retire from activity, be.

Sheffield Cutlery L7os.

Shefield Is famed throughout tho world for it's cutlery. but this is no longer tho city's chief or even second. ary industry. In the finest class of cutlery Sheffield probably still excels, but good scissors from Germany are now sold in the English town for less money than the grinding of the com peting article alone costs in Sheffield. The leading cutlery firm, doing 8 world export trade, operates without the use of telephone, and another. of equal fame, occupies quarters of the most primitive character. It is in the production of armaments and ship material that Sheffield now stands to the fore.
