Jail to Avoid Any Possible
Violence.

Gilbert-An unknown man giving
his name as Frank Dendeau, charged
with kidnapping the four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Johnson from their home here early
Sunday, had to be removed to the
county Jail at Virginia under heavy

who had been aroused from their beds
by the changing of the village fire
bells. Johnson, who gave the alarm,
said his wife had been awakened

cry of the child, who slept in an adj

PARROT CALLS THE
ROLL At SCHOOL
Warfare Upon Hardness Cleveriy
Solved by a SchooIma'am
in Texas.
PUPILS ARE ON TIME
Bird Learns Names Of Youngsters
Without Much Trouble and Also
Masters Part of Multiplication Ia
BILE, 1t Is Said.

Brennan, Tex.-Miss Dorothy Book
or, charming young schoolmistress
Of twenty years, has solved the prob
lem of having pupils in the rural dis
tricts attend school on time for the
morning roll call. Miss Booker has
trained a pet parrot to call the roll.
Professor Tom, as he has been called
vince he began his duties, is an inter
ssting bird to the pupils, and they all
irrive on time to hear him call their
names.
There is not pupil in the indie
pendence school who could be made
20 believe that Professor Tom does
not know them by sight as we'll as
by name.
Miss Booker, when she accepted the
school at independence, near Bren-
ham. year ago, was bothered by the
pupils not arriving on time, especially
during the rainy season. She imme-
diately began to plan to overcome
this, but was unsuccessful for a time.
Some months ago a trained parrot
was sent her by friend who was
touring South America. Fortunately,
the parrot had been owned by Eng
disappearing people.
No sooner did the young schoolmis-
tress see the bird than she evolved
the idea of training it. At first she
did not have much success, but dill
gent efforts brought the reward.
When the process of training was
first under way the bird was allowed
to sit upon a perch in the schoolroom
and listen to the teacher call the roll.
He was allowed to do this for two
weeks, and at first always was re-
moved from the room Immediately
after the roll call. Soon he was try
ing to call the roll with the teacher,
and in a short time was able to do
SO by himself, as he found his efforts
were always rewarded with cracker.
After the bird first had the roll
memorized it would persist in answer
ing the present" or absent" after
the pupils, but was soon broken of
this habit Now he sits, dignified, on
his perch and interrogates in his nasal
tones, willie Jones?" or whatever
the name might be. and looks to see

AID LIGHTLY CLAD WOMAN
Three Men Fight to Assist Vision in
Dust Cloak In Street Of
London.

London-London's latest sensation
was a court trial as a result of an
early morning collision in Piccadilly
between mail van, market wagon
and an automobile driven by Belmont
Hamilton, the well known automobiles
and aviator, which precipitated from
the automobile a woman smoking a
cigarette and scantily clad.
A lamp cleaner, a pedestrian and
milkman testified that they had rushed
to the scene, but quarreled over who
should render first aid Counsel asked:
''Is 1t true the woman was dressed
only In silk stockings, shoes and dust
cloak"
The witness didn't notice the cloak,
and counsel said he supposed there
was very little at all to notice.
The milkman said he saw the woman
thrown out, but that a road sweeper
was there first and blocked his view.
Mr.. Hamilton said he met the
woman coming from a dance. She
couldn't get taxi, so he gave her a
lift.
