Jingling Quarters
 No Proof That You've
 N Robbed a Gas Meter

The fact that William Page, a mem Der of the Royal Social club, colored, was seen exchanging 25 cent pieces for dollar bills during the last week, was insufficient to convict him on the charge of robbing the gas meter at the club rooms on Water street, in the opinion of Judge Bartlett in, city court today and a nolIe was entered.
 William TholNass alias Baby Doll" ," chief steward of the club, caused the arrest of Page. A nearby cigar deal CT on Water street said that Page had eight quarters which he asked him to exchange for two $1 bills.

TREATMENT FOR LEAKY TEAT
Forty.Penny Spike, Rounded OF to
Point and Applied While Hot Will
Prove Effective.

Many good cows are butchered be-
cause they milk so easily that the
pressure in the udder during big
milk flow causes the teats to leak.
Leaking teats can usually be iden.
tilted by the concave depression at
the milk opening. Hard mixers have
convex surface around the orifice.
To stop a cows teat from leaking, the
best method 1 have found is to file a
4O-penny spike, round off the point,
heat the end hot enough to scar, and
press it gently into the milk orifice,
says a writer.
Hold in place till the COW informs
you that you have done enough. 1t
is better to repeat the operation than
to do too much at the first trial. The
burn will nearly always cure readily
as the result of the soothing influence
of the milk, but if it is slow in healing,
grease with salve. When the scar
forms around the milk orifice, it con-
tracts the opening and prevents the
milk from leaking.

The morning and noon feeds should
