EAGLE AND KITTEN IN MAIL
dering What They viii Find
Next.

Seattle, Wash.-The clerks in the
parcel post room OF the Seattle post
office were sure they heard faint
meow They listened and heard it
again, faint and appealinglike. Then
they looked until out of the mass sent
from Tacoma a Slated box was found
to contain beauty of a black kitten.
The kitten was sent from the
Vaughn post ONCE TO Miss Edna Fox
of West Crockett street, to whom it
was delivered by special messenger
within an hour after its arrival, safe
and sound.
Live stock is Brbidden to be sent
by parcel post" said one OF the night
clerks, but Tabby having been re-
ceived, it was up to us to see that it
was delivered to its destination"
Several months ago a live eagle
was received at the Seattle post offlce
and delivered, and the parcel post
clerks are wondering what next that
is prohibited will be dispatched
through the mails.

LOST BLAST KILLS 2 LIVED ON TEN CENTS DAY
Soup, Bread and Coffee Hermit's
Steady Diet, With No Lunch and
No Soup at Dinner.

Tacoma, Wash.-John Hicks, aged
seventy-eight, basket maker and we'll
known local character who lived in a
shack on the Northern Pacific right of
way, is dead here, after having lived
for years on ten cents day. His diet
was soup, bread and coffee.
Sixty years ago Hicks is said to
have owned 16 acres Of land in what
is now almost the heart of Chicago.
He first came into local prominence
in 1911, when he appealed to the
county commissioners to increase his
charity allowance from three to four
dollars a month, and then outlined his
simple method Of living.
I'm the morning eat bread and
coffee. don't bother to eat anything
at noon. It's quite a nuisance eating
by ones self anyway, explained
Hicks. Then for my meal in the eve
ming l have soup. I buy pound Of
coffee and make it last me month by
boiling it as long as it will color the
water"
Friends who know the.old man we'll
say he persisted to the last in living
on his allowance Of ten cents a day.

SEVERAL ILLINOIS TOWNS SHAK-

Laborer Hits Dynamite While Work.
ing on Canal Near Lemont-Vic-
Tins Blown to Pieces.

Lemont, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-A laborer's
pick struck hidden charge of dyna'
mite while cutting a section to the
drainage canal five miles south Of
here and a second later two men had
been blown to pieces and a third so
badly hurt that he is expected to die.
Towns for miles around quivered from
trembling of the earth and the rock
ing of houses brought thoughts of an
earthquake to many frightened viii
layers.
The dead:
Steven Dragose, thirty-two years old.
Paul Lack, twenty-eight years old.
The injured mans name is unknown
to the authorities.
The explosion sent a mass Of rock
and mud skyward and several persons
in the vicinity narrowly escaped death
from these missiles. Several farm
houses near by were stoned.
The fact that the workmen digging
the section were widely scattered at
the time prevented greater loss of
life. AS it was, some of these were
knocked down and stunned.
Dragose and Lack were both cutting
away with pick and shovel at the bar
rier that rose between the unfinished
section and the canal. No one had told
them that a short time before heavy
charge Of dynamite had been placed
i there. 1t had failed to explode. Some
one forgot about it. Dragose and Lack
went at their task unknowingly. Ora,
gose's pick hit the hidden charge
and
Fragments of Dragose's body were
picked up near the canal bank. What
was left of Lack was buried beneath
a mass of frozen ground
The injured man was placed in a
wagon and rushed to DR.. John Cauld
wells hospital at Worth. Ill. The
bodies of Dragose and Lack--or what
was found of them-were taken to un,
taking rooms in Lemont.

government will not consent to al
low the steamer Daeia, recently trans
ferred from German to american reg
istry, to proceed to Rotterdam under
safe conduct with her cargo of cot
ton, the state department was notified
from London.
The British reply to suggestions for
safe conduct recently made by the
state department came through the
American embassy at London While
the text of the message was withheld,
it is known the British objection was
based broadly on a reluctance to
create a precedent, which, it is felt,
would be followed by many similar
purchases of German ships in America
and efforts to operate them on the
former German trade routes.
The British government believes
the American purchaser really was
acting for German principals. The
cotton in the vessel either will be un-
loaded in an English port and placed
at the disposal of the owners to for
ward to Germany by another and neu-
trail ship or appropriated by the Brit
ish government upon payment to the
! OWNERS of it's invoice value.

eminent has not yet delivered to the
American ambassador its response to
the request from Washington that the
former Hamburg American line steam
er Dacia, which has been transferred
to American register, be permitted to
make a special trip with cotton to Ger

establishing a precedent concerning
