DOG IS WITNESS IN COURT
Convinces Jury in Philadelphia That
He Is Not Vicious and Gets
Verdict.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Trixie, q collie
dog, was a witness for her mistress in
Common Pleas Court No. s in the trial
Of the suit of Mrs Helen Butkus, who
claimed to have been bitten by the
dog, against Mrs. Mary A. Chambers,
the dogs owner.
According to Mrs. Butkus, she was
attacked by Trixie on July 81, 1917.
when she entered the vestibule of Mrs.
Chambers home to purchase some
household effects. She testified the
dog bit her in the left thigh. causing
tears and abresions of the skin and
flesh.
Trixie's owner denied the dog had
been guilty of such, violent temper
and questioned the truth Of the plain
tiff's story. Mrs. Chambers admitted
Trixie was lively puppy. but good
tempered and playfellow for the
children Of the neighborhoOd.
To demonstrate the truth Of this,
Trixie was brought into court and
scampered about among the jurors,
who later returned a verdict for the
dogs owner.

Washington.-With hostilities at an

SOLVES BIG MYSTERY
For Fifteen Years the Doctor Has
Been Grand High Pigeon-F Feeder
Of His iahborhood-Hence
the Story.

ChicagO.-This is the solution of the
mystery of the theft of surgical instru'
ments from the office of DR.. f. w.
Hunter, 1113 East Sixty-third street.
It is plain unyarnished tale, and
might be entitled peanuts, Probes
and Pigeons"
1t begins with the pigeons. They
are the ones that get so familiar on
short acquaintance at the University
avenue station of the 'L." There are
oodles and oodles of them and they be-
have as II the station platform were
theirs by prescriptive right. If you
offer them peanut from the slot ma.
chine, SO conveniently at hand, they
will take 1t as If they were collecting
debt long overdue. If you don't offer
them a peanut they look reproachfully
at you. If there were an interpreter
Of pigeon-English at hand, as in Mark
Twatn's story of the hermit and the
jaybirds, he would probably tell you
they were remarking:
This must be one of those pikers
from the Gold Coast neighborhoodw
Throws Peanuts to the Birds.
The principal reason the University
avenue pigeons are so cocksure of
their own privileges is Doctor Hunter.
For Is years he has had an office over
looking the IL" station. For the Is
years he has been the Grand High Pig
eOn-Feeder Of the neighbOrhoOd. He
not only throws peanuts to the birds,
but he levies on his friends. Patients
who visit his Office always take In q
few pennies to buy the succuleat fruit
of the goober pea.
At the back of his Office is an old
storeroOm, with openings through
which the pigeons can fly whenever
they are cold or sleepy. And this is
where the probes come in.
Miscreant Tracked Down.
The doctor has fine collection Of
surgical instruments. They are the
pride of his heart and the delight of

United States which have been invent

punched cards will be handed in their

To be possessed of a head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get q
small bottle Of Kncwlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
drum and cure for itchy scalp, and It
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
II you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in Just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.
