Endeavor social-The Keyst
CHICKEN THIEVES SUSPECTED.
The Eakin Family Aroused From
Peaceful Slumber By Invention.

After having lost about two hun
dred fine chickens through theft, H.
c. Eakin and his son Jack devised a
scheme which would prevent further
depredations on the hen roost, the APP
paratus consisting of an electric bell
which would announce the opening of
the door to the chicken house, the
aforesaid bell being located within
the domicile of the Eakins. The 9TH
er night when quiet reigned supreme
in the Rickreall neighborhood the bell
sounded, and before the last note died
away the family was headed in the
direction of the chicken container.
Hort, lightly clad, was armed with
a shotgun, while the remaining mem
bers of the family carried weapons Of
divers and sundry kinds. Cautiously
the opening to the house was ap-
preached. When within a few feet
of the roost a flash of light burst
forth from an electric fashlight which
the attorney had provided for nightly
excursions of this and like characters,
but an examination of the premises
did not divulge the presence of prowl-
ers. And neither had a biddie been
disturbed from its slumbers. Mystery
surrounded the affair until it was dis
covered that the wind had blown the
door open.

She Knew Entirely Too Much, A. q
Close Observer Discovered.
She looked rich and acted rich, and
every one knew that she was rich be-
cause she had married rich man, yet
the Sherlock Holmes of the tea party
discovered that she had once been poor.
"Take it from me-" she said, "that
there was time, and that not so very
long ago, when she was as poor as the
rest of u.s."
"MarvelOusw exclaimed the other
four girls. How did you discover
that?"
Through her knowing so absolutely
where keep all my housekeeping
things. She knew that the tea caddy
was in the writing desk, that the
cheese, biscuits and other edibles be-
loved by mice were In that tin box un-
der the sofa, that the alcohol for my
stove was in the corner behind the
washstand, that the butter and milk
were on the window ledge and that
the eggs and other raw foods were In a
robe.
when we were cooking she went
straight to the spot and got every one
of those things without once asking
where they were, which is something
that person who had not had wide
experience Of housekeeping in one room
could never have done."-New York
Times.

3 An INGENIOUS Device.

When Sir Robert Perks school days
were over he entered the office of a
firm of lawyers and worked very hard.
1t was no uncommon thing to find him
reading law at in the morning, and
this often after he had been working
late on the previous night. AS mat
ter Of fact, he made it an infiexible
rule never to be in bed of a morning
after s. To enforce this rule he In
vented an ingenious device. This con-
sisted of long glass tube filled with
water nicely balanced over his head
and attached by string to an alarm.
At the desired hour the bell rang and
awakened the sleeper. If within few
seconds he did not leap from his bed
and avert the calamity the descending
weight of the clock destroyed the bal
ance of the tube. and down poured the
water on his guilty head!-From "The

ANIMALS IN PAWN.
Tame or Wild, They Are Good For q
Loan In This New York Shop.

Tame or Wild, They Are Good For a
Loan In This New York Shop.
Among the curious industries or
sources of livelihood in New York city
is an animal pawnshop. As you take
watch to an ordinary pawnshop to
raise money on it, SO you may take a
watchdog to the animal pawnshop.
Recently man did this, getting $40
on a dog that was easily worth $50,
the pawnbroker said. But he was a
trick dog which had been taught to
open doors. So in due time he opened
door and let himself out while let
ting the pawnbroker In.
A well known animal trainer owns
the shop. EIe takes camels. lions, ele-
phants-any animals. There are nj
charges for interest on the loan, the
only charge being for the keep Of the
animals, among which at almost any
time are dogs, monkeys, bears, goats,
cats, coons, foxes. parrots, canaries.
At one time he had forty trick don
keys in pawn. The profits arising from
charges for feed and care are enough
to make the institution pay.
Once he had lion In pawn which
broke his chain in the stable and went
roaring around, scared almost to death,
and it was only after heroic efforts
that they mustered courage to capture
him. As matter Of fact the animal
was decrepit beast that had served
his time In sideshows and was anxious
to get away.-Exchange
