TOLD TO ELOPE BY SPIRITS
Then Girls Companion Pleads Guilty
Under Mann Act at Frank

FOIL PARIS c0CHERS
United States Soldiers Prove Not
to Be Easy Marks.
vlctlmixed at First, They Study Re0u-
iations and Now Pay Only
Legal Rates.

Paris.-Paris cabmen have not yet
decided whether the American SOL
dfers will prove a welcome or an un'
welcome addition to their patrons.
When the men from across the sea first
arrived they were all hailed by the
cabmen as millionaires and the tips
they received were In keeping with the
reputation thus bestowed upon them.
But trust the Paris eocher to Kill the
goose that lays a golden egg.
He practiced his old game Of taking
the most indirect route to reach his
destination and never had any change
when rendered payment. At night IL
no policeman was In sight he always
baked at taking an American uniform
without first extortlng promise TO
pay fixed price for the course,
which was at least twice his legal fare.
The Americans stood this imposition
for time but finally got tired of being
continually bled. Now they give no
more than the French as tip and as

he attempts to take them by round
about routes. They have solved the
night holdup by climbing into the cab
despite the prOtestations of the cab
men. If it is not later than the hour
fixed for him TO quit work he must
take them at the regular fare where
they wish to go or drive to a police
station and justify his refusal.
AS the average cocher wants as little
to do with the police as possible, he
rarely If ever appeals to them.
AT one of the ports used by the
Americans for landing troops the cab
men charged the soldiers such exor-
bitant prices chat the men went to the
police, obtained copies of the regula-
tions governing the cochers and there
after paid only regular fares, giving
no tips. The cochers retaliated by re-
fusing to take American soldiers as
passengers, and If the men got into a
cab anyhow they stopped dead where
they were and refused to move. 1t
was some days before a compromise
was reached.

as meat producers. The term simply
means that these breeds excel in this
branch of the poultry industry.
AS might be expected, the meat breeds
are the largest fowls. the heaviest
broad and deep In the body, with full
breast. heavy limbs and relatively
short legs and neck They are mostly
of Asiatic origin and are popularity con.
ceiyed to be rather poor layers persist
ent sitters. weak fiiers, docile AMI east
ly controlled. They lay large brown
eggs, which are not likely to run Sc
high In fertility as the lighter breeds
consequently they are seldom used in
the day-old-chick trade. Because OF
their size their development is slow
or, rather. a longer time Is required for
them to reach maturity.
Leghorns mature TN from five to six
months. sometimes earlier. whereas
the Asiatic breeds take from eight 10
ten months. often longer. The chicks
do not feather quickly and are often
almost nude at the age of two months
This feature has its advantages and
disadvantages. Chicks that start to
feather as soon as they leave the shell.
such as the Leghorns. are often weak
ened by this rapid growth OF plumage.
On the other hand, chicks that are
bare Of feathers are sometimes affect
ed by cold weather In the ea"ly spring
patches
The leading varieties of the Asiatic
class are the Brahmas, Gochins and
the LangShans. The BraLmas are con-
ceded 10 be the most popular and are
divided into two varieties. light Brah-
mas and dark Brahmas, OF which the
former are the most widely bred.
The light Brahma rs the largest
chicken. The standard weight calls for
twelve pounds for cocks. ten pounds
for cockerels. nine and one-half
pounds for hens and eight pounds for
pullets! These weights are often ex-
ceeded; we have seen specimens that
weighed from twelve TO seventeen
pounds, regular giants they seemed.
The Cochins probably rank next TO
the Brahmas as meat breeds and are
bred I'm four coiors-buff. partridge
white and black. The Bluffs are the
most widely bred: they are indeed beau
tful birds and have color that is
golden bun throughout in both sexes
They have the purest buff color of any
of the buff breeds OF poultry and have
been used quite extensively I'm improv-
ing this color in other breeds. They
are bred with loose feathers. so that
the general effect Is that OF q ball of
feathers. The shank feathering is more
profuse than that OF the Brahmas.
And unlike the Brahmas, the COchins
have small. single comb. I'm DISPOSE
ton IL might be said without fear OF
controversy that the Cochins are the
least FESTIVE OF all fowls. They have
a quiet. almost sluggish nature and
are the most determined sitters. They
stand confinement well and may he re-

Careful Feeding Of the Flock at This
Season Essential.

Season Essential.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The breeding season for ewes begins
with the first cool nights In late sum-
mer or early autumn. At that time the
ewes begin to come I'm heat, although in
some breeds this period occurs at al
most any time Of the year. Periods I'm
which the ewes will breed last from
one to three days and recur at intervals
Of fourteen to nineteen days. The gesta-
ton period in sheep Is lat days. Ewes
should be mated to drop their first
lambs when about twenty-four months
old.
At the time the ewes are bred they
should be gaining In weight. Feeding
to produce this condition for breeding
is commonly called flushing" The
main purpose Of flushing the ewes is
to secure larger lamb crop and to
have the lambs dropped as near the
same time as possible, but IL also brings
the ewes into good condition for the
winter. To accomplish this the ewes
are changed from scant TO abundant
pastures of timothy, blue grass or rape,
Rank watery fall growths Of clover are
Of little use for this, as they often bring
the eve in heat several times and are
not particularly fattening. Often some
grain is fed as supplement to the pas
lures. Corn Is not especially good for
this, oats being much better. Pump.
kins strewn over the fields are excel
lent. At this time any large locks Of
wool or dung tags about the tail should
be removed.
Beginning about a month before the
breeding season, the ram should be
given some extra grain. Two parts OF
oats and one OF bran by bulk form an
excellent mixture. Oats alone are also
very good. IL the ram is thin the fol-
lowing mixture Is excellent: Corn, five
parts; oats, ten; bran, three. and lin

The number Of ewes ram will serve
depends largely upon his age and the
way he is handled. A ram lamb may
serve from FIVE to fifteen ewes. de
pending upon his maturity. A year
ling may serve from fifteen to twenty
five, while mature ram, well cared
for. should servo from forty to sixty If
allowed to run loose with the flock. BY
permitting him to be with the ewes an
hour morning and evening more ewes
can be bred. If the ram is allowed t.
run in the field with the ewes he may
be made to mark the ones he has serv
ed, SO that the approximate dates OF
lambing can be determined. daul

Why cobb Draws the Crowd,

George Hildebrand, an umpire in the American League, likes to do nothing better than watch Ty CoDb in a ball game. Next. to watching Ty Cobb Hilderbrand would sooner talk about him than do anything else. He spends his winters on the coast and tells stories of Cobb's prowess. One of his stories, which shows Cobb in a typical feat and illustrates why Ty can pull more persons through the turnstiles than any athlete that ever lived:-
 This occurred in game at Wash ington, and Dertroit happened to need of a run.
 Cobb got a pass and immediately began jockeying for lead off first A quick peg from the pitcher had him mapping, and Gandil now with the White Sox, made a dive to catch him. But Cobb was on his way to second.
 Gandil, in his surprise, made hurry throw that was a bit wide. Mcbride knocked the ball down and it rolled only about ten feet. Cobb dashed for third. McBride's throw hit him on the shoulder and Ty kept on to the plate. The throw had him by fifteen feet. Ty never slack ener. but slid into the diamond far, from the plate and past Catcher Hen ry. who was waiting for him. While he was on the ground Ty reached for the plate with his hand, but Henry tagged him. | Hilderbrand said a young catcher
 would have missed him, but Henry stood all over the plate so he could
 not touch it.
 At that, the play was so close thou sands of fans were standing up and yelling when OLoughlin waved Ty
 out.
 i Ty is always doing something and that is why he is the biggest draw ing card in baseball, according ts
 Hldebrand.

SAILORS WILLING TO BACK
 NORMAN AGAINST RANKIN
Submarine Base Fellows Announce That They Will Cover Anything Lo- cal Sportsman Will Put Up.

Word comes from the Submarine Base that they are willing to cover any money that the sportsman in Nor wich is willing to put up on Red Rankin to battle against Jackie Nor man of the Submarine Base. The boys at the base are willing to back their man to the limit over the twenty round route or even over a shorter dis tance. Jackie Norman says that he can put Rankin away in less than twenty rounds and the boys at the base say that they will take the short end that Norman will knock Ran kin out inside the Limit.
 If this bout could be arranged and the boys brought together it would be a winner for the promoter who put this bout on, burt the trouble seems to be that Rankin's manager is rather shy on putting Rankin on against Norman. Even if Rankin should lose out in the bout it would be the best experience he could have in the ring. Red is a conner and while Norman is much faster, Red would be able to put up a good battle. Fans are desirous of seeing this bout and anxious for some promoter to put it on. It would seem as if the managers of the two boys could get together and come to some agreement. Let us hope that they will.
