Hogie's Feet.-Finale of Wife
Beating Act Arouses Interest
In Glass Plant Environs

Brandishing a large butcher knife
which he threatened to use, Lewis
O'Brien stirred up lots of excitement
in the vicinity of the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass plant late Saturday afternoon
when he tried to overtake his father
in-law, Carl Hogle, in foot race
which started from the Hogle home
on Crystal avenue.
Hogle, stimulated by the prospect
of being slashed with the knife.
proved himself speedier than his pur.
suer and gained the confines of the
plant before O'Brien could overtake
him. The latter, seeing that his quar-
ry was beyond reach, returned to the
Hogle home and secreted himself un.
der a bed where he was found by
Sheriff John M. Woolison about 7
O'Clock.
O'Brien was placed under arrest
and, after being relieved of the butch
er knife which he evidently intended
using on Hogle when that individual
returned home, was taken to the
county jail.
The trouble began early in the af-
ternoon when, according to the story,
O'Brien, who was said to be under
the influence of liquor, started in to
beat his wife. Her screams attract
ed the attention of her father, Carl
Hogle, who lives next door, and he
rushed to the O'Brien home and in
terposed himself between the O'Bri-
ems.
1t is said that Lewis became very
angry thereupon and, picking up a
butcher knife, gave chase to Hogle,
The couple sped out OF the house and
Hogle took a direction toward the
glass factory. He had the best of the
argument in the race and was able tC
reach a refuge before O'Brien over
| took him.
Disappointed, O'Brien returned tc
the Hogle home and placed himself

however, and call was sent in fol-

cation. He was fined S. and costs.

REPTILES Are shortsiahtsd.

According to naturalist. serpents, In
spite OF their reputation for alertness,
are very shortsighted. Some of them
cannot see more than yard or two In
front Of them. Other reptiles are simi-
larly deficient in sense of vision, and
the authority asserts that a crocodile
cannot see man at a greater distance
than six times its own length. In re-
spect OF hearing, many reptiles are
even more deficient than in sight
Some serpents are deaf, the boa, it is
said. being unable to hear any sound
The term deaf adder" consequently
expresses a fact, In one respect some
reptiles show singular acuteness. They
have an unerring instinct for water
and I'm dry weather will travel straight
to 1t, even when they are at such long
distances that the mystery is how they
could possibly become aware of its
locality.

In his book "On the Trail of Steven

of Andrew Lang's account of his first

NARCISSUS BULBS
SUBSTITUTED FOR ONIONS BY
THE NEW COOK

columbus Dispatch Sun. Magazine)
Representative William A. Ash
brook OF Ohio received an almost
fearful letter recently from a woman
in his district imploring him not to
send any more government seeds or
bulbs into their once tranquil home.
1t seems that Ashbrook, not content
with sending few radish and lettuce
seeds, had franked a large consign-
ment of narClssus and tulip bulbs as
nuggets of good cheer TO a few OF
the more fortunate among his con-
stituents.
One woman put only part OF the
bulbs into the ground and put the 9th
ers away for future reference. Then
she hired new cook, and shortly
thereafter gave big dinner, fea-
ture of which was TO be a certain
kind of salad containing onions. Many
thoughtful reader has doubtless
guessed by now what happened how
the bitter taste of the narcissus bulbs
inadvertently substituted for onions,
complicated the feast-and how all
was woe
"We will not care for any more
government bulbs" the woman wrote
to AshbrooE; "the flowers could not
possibly recompense for the trouble
we had over the salad
