LEFT IT TO THE PIGEONS
Wise Workers Justice Let Birds De-
eide the Disputed Question Of
Their Ownership.

City Judge Beall of Yonkers,
N. Y. who recently devised a Solo
monlike spaghetti test to determine
the ownership Of dog with a fond
ness for that elongated variety Of
food, showed extra-judicial wisdom
in settling a bird case in his court.
This time it was pigeons-ten of
them. John Voszko told the Judge
that someone broke into his coop of
prize homing birds, and that boys
told him they recognized ten of them
in a flock kept by William Warholly,
at the other end of the city. Voszkc
had Warholly arrested.
Judge Beall cerebrated almost au-
dibly a few moments, then he direct
ed Sergeant Google and Detective
Duffy to take the % homing pigeons
in Warholly's flock to a neutral spot
and turn them loose. Ten of the
pigeons at once flew to Voszko's coop,
while the remaining dozen returned
to the defendant.
Warholly insisted all were his, but
Judge Beall said the pigeons had de-
cided the case for themselves.

Opposing Avlstors Prove That the
Finer Feelings Of Humanity
stIII Prevail.

Once there were two airmen--
youngsters. They had attended the
same school of aviation. they had
learned to fly together They had be-
come fast friends. Then came the
war. One of them was German. He
went of to give his services to the
emperor. The other was a French
man. He Joined a French flying corps
and when he went about his bust
ness OF scouting up aloft his constant
fear was that he might find, up there
In the clouds, his friend and school
mate. AS a matter Of fact the first
time he sighted Taube he knew by
the way it was handled who It was
that steered II, The German recog-
nized not less quickly the flight Of the
Frenchman. Both misunderstanding
ing in great circles. Then duty was
too strong for friendship; they
charged each other. No, friendship
was stronger after alias the French
man was about to strike the German
he tipped his left wing perilously and
glided past almost on edge. The Ger
man did exactly the same thing-and
each few back to his own lines.
Perhaps, says the Frenchman who
tells this pretty tale, chivalry, which
in this grim war of machines has
survived on the sea In the person of
the gallant captain Of the Emden, has
found refuge in the air.

Backyard Parks.

1t has already been convincingly
demonstrated. here in Baltimore. the
scheme of tearing down division fen
ces between city home backwards
and developing the unobstructed
stretch of space thus provided as q
continuous flower garden or grass
ed lawn.
1t has been demonstrated because
it has been done on several back
stretches and partially accomplished
inhundreds of instances. By parti-
ally accomplished we mean those in
stances where two or three or four
adjoining householders have thrown
their backyards into a common and
developed the enlarged spaces into
flower gardens.
This backyard park ides, develop
ed to the limit Of rotentiality, would
mean the tearing down or all fences
on both S des the midway alley and
identifying all tie yard, upon some
harmonious scheme or ornamental
gardening.
There are comparatively few blocks
centers In which this complete scheme
of ornamentation can be realized,
for the reason that many owners
wish to build a garage. stable or
some other kind of building in the
backyard ard fronting along the al
ley.
While the placing of rear build
ing in one or more of the backy ards
of block interferes with the con-
plete realization of the backyard
parking scheme. it need not prevent.
the partial carrying out the plan.
And as to back buildings. their
uRliness and inharmony can be great
ly modified by planting climbing ros-
es or other climbing vines along
their sides and rear ends.
There is nothing so utilitarian-
not even stsble-that every thought
of Identification should be abandon
ed in connection with it. Baltimore

When railroad building was under taken in Alaska following the dis covery of gold a unique engineering feat was performed. At point eighty miles ont of Skagway the sur veY had been made for the road aolng the shore of a lake, but it was found to be so irregular and broken by so many coves that the plan was adopted of getting a better line by lowering the level of the lake. This was done by cutting an out let channel through which fourteen feet of the lake drained off But presently the new channel, gave way, and the escap- ing lake water wore an enormous can yon through the country and reduced the lake level again oyer seventy feet. A fine, level roadbed was sc cured over what was formerly the bed of tho lake.-Argonaut.

 You don't save much, frequently nothing, when you send your money out of your home town, and you take all the risk yourself of short weight or measure and of getting damaged or inferior goods. Possibly if you and everybody else should trade at home the home merchant might afford to sell as cheaply as do the big stores in the large cities. And don't you know that the growth and prosperity of the town depends very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchants? Out of town people judge our city by the appearance of our stores and the degree of enterprise shown bV our merchants and news papers And our home merchants icannot succeed unless home folks give them loyal support.

The following editorial from the Pocatello Idaho) Tribune is so well written and also SO applicable to the l,,. al situation that it is published with the hope that it's logic may he felt in this community.
 During the season ahead there should be the greatest cooperation in the community, and all factors should combine for the utmost prosperity, as and there is much in sight that de- mands the best interests and closest friendship of the individual members of the community. And while dilating along the line of cooperation suggest ed we recall a little argument that was presented by prominent local mer- chant few days ago It reads thus wise:
 The local merchant Who is he2
 He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and earrfes yonr account until you are able To pay.
 He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes exchange when you are not satisfied with what you have bought.
 He is the chap who stands behind his guarantee, and makes restoration of all losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy
 He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake. and lets you out with message to the kids" and real come again good bye
 He is the chap who meets and greets you on the street every day in the year, and takes neighborly in terest in your family and your affairs
 He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeepers and others living in your town spend their money with you.
 He is the chap who pays heavy tax es to help support the schools, builds the streets. maintains the fire and police departments, the parks. and the lighting and water service.
 He is the chap who helps support the churches and charitable organiza- tions, the lodges and commercial clubs and talks for the home town

A peculiar condition of affairs existed in Fairbanks recently when the par ents of Jack Craig who was severely bitten by vicious dogs, attempted to secure permission to have the dogs killed. The United States marshars office had no authority to grant the permission nor could the district at torneys office issue the authority. The owner of the animals solved the question by shooting the animals him self The dogs were half wolf and had wondered from Fairbanks out to Fox, evidently hunting rabbits. They were blood hungry and gave battle to a man who came to the boys assist ance.

Several Players of High School Team
 Out With Injuries.

The football eleven of the New Britain High school is in the throes of hard luck slump, with the re- suit that a number of its star players are at present incapicitated with in juries and will probably be unable to participate in next Saturdays s game with Holyoke at Electric field. These players are Curran suffering from boils, Koplowitz, sprained wrist, Bracket, bad ankle and Conley a strained leg. These players are among the strongest in the lineup, and their loss at this time has bad ef- feet on the other members of the team.
 Captain Dudack and Coach Zwick has decided to abandon further scrim- maging for the remainder of the sea- son, and the eleven will have but sig nal practice daily.
 With the Hartford game but week away the outlook for the team is somewhat dubious at present, al- though Captain Dudack is confident that his boys will come through with a victory.
