It is often noted that people who

let their chickens run around, to the
annoyance and Inconvenience of their
reighbors and friends. just why this
is so we never could figure out. The
mayor urges and warns people to
keep their chickens in their own
yards, but certain chicken owners
pay no heed to him. The neighbors
whose yards are overrun by the
chickens may frown and complain.
but the chicken -owner goes on his

Too Much Business.

-
Judson had run general store for
twenty years. When the place be-
came a summer resort Judson hung
a red lantern Of the Chinese variety
in the middle Of his ceiling as a con-
cession to the summer trade. The
second day the lantern was up a
woman spied 1t and bought it.
Judson put up another lantern,
and another. AS fast as he hung
them. summer guests bought them.
Finally the limit OF Judson's patience
was reached when the last woman
came In and asked for a lantern.
II ain't goin' to order no more he
said decisively.
"Why?" asked the woman.
There amt no sense in It. Can't

WHICH is cRUsoE'S isLAaDi
Opinion Seems to Favor Tohago Above
the Claims Made by Adherents OF
Juan Fernandezs

For many years Juan Fernandez,
Chile in island of the eastern coast of
South America, was known as CRU
tnrer had spent FIVE years there in
solitude, and il was thought for some
time that Defoe had recorded this
hermit's experience. But following
Crusoe's directions that he landed on
an island in latitude Of II degrees
nearer the mouth Of the 0rinoco river,
and in sight of the Island of Trinidad.
one comes upon the Island of Tobago.
the only one answering the descrip-
tion.
An interesting discovery which
gave prominence TO Tobago as the
real Crusoe's island occurred some
years ago, when the skeleton of a
goat was unearthed in a cave on the
island. This conceded remarkably
/ with Crusoe's statement that he
found dying goat in a hillside cave
and later buried il there. "Crusoe's
goat" became for time an object of
great popular interest and figured as
prominent exhibit at the Chicago
Worlds fair
Tobago's failure TO obtain greater
recognition of its importance as the
'only authentic Robinson Crusoe
island is doubtless due to the fact
that it is a retiring little island, con.
cerned chiefly with its plantations and
trade. Leaving CrusOe out altogether,
Tobago has had an cventful history,
from the time ii was discovered by Co.
lumbus, on his third voyage, until Eng
land took it from France in 1903, and
started to turn 1t into profitable col
ony.

Snow Houses in the Arctic.

A snow house is the most adapta-
bic of dwellings. If it gets too warm
either for the comfort of the inhabi-
tants or because the roof begins to
thaw, you can lower the temperature
by charging the ventilating hole with
your knife If it gets too cold, you
make the hole smaller by stuffing a
mitten into it. If the roof begins to
thaw because it is made of blocks
that are too thick, you send a man out
with long knife or machete, and he
thins them down until the frost with
out neutraliZcs the heat from within,
and the thawing stops. But il you
have made your roof too thin, and
hoar-froSt begins TO form from your
breath and from the steam that rises
from the cooking, then man goes
out with shovel. instead of a knife,
and throws little soft snow on the
roof, to blanket it from the excessive
cold.-Harper's Magazine.

SIDEWALK is THEIR MARKET

"Down and Outs"

Al the Bowery approach TO the VIII

interesting sight at any hour OF the
day. says the New York Times. This
is the gathering of near down-and-outs
disposing OF what is left OF their
wardrobes and who. being poor sales
men, usually take what is offered and
not what they expected to get.
The other morning there were four
on hand. One had three frayed silk
shirts, two pairs of more or less worn
trousers and three sets of silk under
wear. He asked so cents each for the
shirts and took 81 for the three. The
trousers brought 70 cents the pair.
while he had much trouble in dispos-
ing of the silk underclothing at %

Another had fur-lined coat which
wasn't so very awful looking. He

REPEATED HIS GREAT WORK
When Thomas Carlyle Proved InvuI-
nerabIe to the "SIines and Arrows
of Outrageous Fortune"

In 1896 there occurred an incident
which would have deranged an ordi-
nary man. Thomas Carlyle was living
at Cheyne row, Chelsea, near Lon
don. He had not earned penny. says
he TO himself, "by the craft of litera-
ture for 23 months" But with the
push of tiger he was plowing his
way through his History OF the
French Revolution" The first volume
was finished. 1t had taken him five
months 10 write it. He loaned the Mss,
to John Stuart Mil. On certain
morning Mil called upon Carlyle, his
face as white as ashes. After two
hours of awkward fumhing Mill man
aged to tell it--he had left the price
less Mss on a desk and the housemaid
had taken il 10 light the morning fire
in the CRATE! Carlyle was like. a
stricken man. But one day. as he sat
dumbly at his window, he saw CHEEKY
brlcklayers building Il house, brick by
brick He burst into tears and. sob
hing like a child he cried: Il. too can
bring back thought by thought :" He
did. He recalled all of the Mss. and
rewrote it, What torture!

NO JOY FOLLOWS
AWARD OF WAGES
Stockyards Workers Are Said
to Be Dissatisfied.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8-Officials Of the
Stockyards Labor Council here have
called a meeting for Monday to discuss
the wage award made to stockyards
workers throughout the country yester-
day by Judge Samuel Alschuler, APP
pointed mediator in wage disputes be-
tween the packers and their employees.
The members of the stocSyards unions
are said to be generally dissatisfied with
the award.
Except for the retroactive 5 per cent
bonus granted the men, amounting to an
award of approximately 100000, Judge
Alschuler denied practically all Of the
demands the workers have contended for
during q hearing that has taken NJ ten
weeks. Demands for a permanent in
crease were denied because, Judge AL
schiller declared, the peak Of living costs
has been reached and prices may be ex-
pected to decline.
Packers, 1t was believed today, will
accept without protest the award of a
retroactive 8 per cent increase in wages
for the period OF July last to Dec. 5
and will arrange for prompt payment Of
the sums due employees through this
award.
