There Is an ole. farmer In one OF our
suburbs who is noted for saying quaint
end unexpected things. One day last
fall he delivered a couple of dressed
birds to customer who remarked: Il

hate to chop off the heads OF those
innocent chickens"
you're right ma'am," he said, "and
SO l never do it. manage to ger
around It,"
"Get around 1t, how?" the housewife
asked with eager interest.
"Well, you see, ma'am," replied the
farmer, "what l does is chop the cnick-
ems off the heads."-Boston Tran

HUSBAND DEAF.
TO Fits PLEA
Wife Sought to BaIk Suit But
: Banker Was Unmoved by
Her Tears.

NEW YORK, April 14.-News
Of an earnest eleventh hour"
effort made by Mrs. James A..
Stillman to persuade her multi
millionaire husband to withdraw
the divorce suit he had secretly
begun against her has become pub
lie for the first time.
MET IN HOTEL SUITE.
The plea was made some weeks
after the former "Fih" Potter had
been served with the summons and
complaint.
Through the agency of mutual
friends a meeting between the es-
ctranged couple was arranged in a
specially engaged suite of rooms in
one OF the larger hotels Of the city.
Accounts of the affair agree that
Mrs. Stillman took the initiative in
tie, preliminary overtures and in the
discussion at the conference which
WIS attended by at least one attorney
and two or three friends Of both
parties.
The information Is that a tense
scene marked the meeting. Mrs. Still
man making her appeal with tears
streaming down her cheeks and the
banker holding coldly aloof from her
entreaties. In a voice choking with
1 emotion, Mrs. Stillman reminded her
husband of the harm that was sure
Z to- come from publicity attendant
upon the suit, and urged him for the
sake of their children and the threat
ened bot on the family prestige to
reconsider and cancel the action.
A. FAILS TO MOVE BANKER.
/. The banker remained obstinate.

theough," he announced stolidly.
Disappointed but not discouraged
Mrs Stillman went over the grounds
of her plea again, using all the wom-
anly artifices at her command to dis
suade her husband from his threat
ensd course. Stillman heard her as
before and again when she had fin
ished repeated heavily:
II am going to see the matter
through" \
1t was then-and not till then-that
Mrs. Stillman became defiant. In the
elainest language possible and with
but the least attempt to soften the
facts, she told the banker that she
had learned of his intrigues with va
rious women and that she proposed
making her knowledge public, If
forced to do so in self-defense. She
gave names and was otherwise defi-
mite enough to convince other audi
tors, If not Stillman himself, that she
knew whereof she was speaking-in
a measure at least.

There Is said to have ben keen
rivalry between the uniformed men

that the detectives have gone into
the precincts and stole" cases from

lack of cooperation between the
