Old Goats Dead

Washington. ram that led the
White House flock of sheep during the
Wilson administration, is dead.
He died at the Maryland farm OF
L. C. Probert, former superintendent
Of the Washington bureau of the As
sociated Press to which the sheep
were sent when Wilson went out of
office.
Ike developed an inordnaite fond
ness for tobacco during the later
years of his life, and on a number of
occasions expressed his displeasure as
only ram could express it when mis-
requests for the weed were refused
The flock originally numbered IA
and was placed at the White House
by President Wilson to keep the lawn
cropped while caretakers were re-
leased for war service. The wool clip
was given by Wilson to Red Cross
chapters to be auctioned off to patri-
otic persons anxious to contribute to
relief work. Some of Ike's wool
brought $4,000 a pound. The flock
had grown to rs at the time Of its
leaders death.
For some months Ike had been in a
decrepit state, requiring assistance in
getting on his feet. Just before he
died, Probert gave him a chew Of to-
baco, and he dropped off peacefully
munching it. His death was the result
of old age.

How Writers Right
Or Wrong Write

Perhaps an author in tub of water
wanders in fancy over the South Seas.
Maybe his downy bed becomes a
bunk in an Alaskan mining camp, or
the subway car in which he rides, a
continental express train.
At any rate, unconventional are the
surroundings in which some fiction
writer's do their daily stunt.
"The average writer sets himself to
do thousand words a day." Charles
G. Norris, the novelist, disclosed
recently.
every one achieves them differ
emily. Arnold Bennett gets up at 5
a. M, brews himself pot Of tea, and
by O'Clock his work for the day is
over.
"Jack London preferred to remain
in bed and do his writing there, but
he finished it by noon. David Gra-
ham Phillips, understand, wrote
standings up at desk and wrote at
night.
Rupert Hughes does his thousand
and great many more-at odd
moments when he is riding in the
subway, when he is directing a movie,
when he is taking BATH.
"And speaking of taking bath, /
know one authoress who does all her
writing in a tub of hot water. She
fills it full, and then slowly climbs in
for she likes temperature, is care
full not to wet her hands, reaches for
handy pencils and pad and sets to
work. When the water grows chilly
she knows it's time to quit"
Norris and his wife. Kathleen.
write at their ranch, LA Estancia, +"
near the California village of Sara
toga. Their hours, however, are often
prosaic. Mrs. Norris does her thou
sand words, and perhaps two or three
thousand more if she is in the mood,
between a. m. and noon. Her hus-
band admitted that he 'has to take
twice as long"

Prairie dogs also make wonderful
pets. Though they must be caught
young, as it is impossible to tame an
old one. Freddie, youngest son of
Brit Hoffman of this city, has several.
They run in and out of the house,
barkingly frolicsome. They hibernate
under the house in winter. Last spring
they came out in March, decided it
was too early, and went back for
three or four weeks.
Mr.. Gilchrist and Mr.. Mercer in
duced Freddie to exhibit prairie dog
at the last state fair, assuring him
they knew it was the best in the state
and must get a prize. Sure enough,
he got blue ribbon, denoting first,
and a dollar check. He was pretty
much disappointed though, because
the ribbon came by mail instead of
around the neck of the dog.

SENDS BAD MEAT AND EGGS
 TO ANNOY RELATIVE; FINED
Hartford Man Would Have His Little Joke But Comes
 10 Grief

A bundle containing dncaycl at end q pig tail Was the cause of thr conviction ot Leo Bri2zci asod io of 65 Hawthorne street, Hartford, on the charge of breach of the peace in police court this morning, although he cmphatically denied he had any knowledge that it had been delivered 10 his hrothcr-in-laW William krys- cinski, who keeps q store at S45 Broad street. this city Judge Hum gcrtord, after hearing the evidence, said he believed IjrizzI technically guilty and imposed q fine Of $lo and costs with execution suspended.
 According to kIEscinsM and his daughter. they have received bun Gies containing decayvd egGs and meat and they had reason to sus- p,ct Brizzcl. Last sunday, a small boy delivered bundle 10 their home and on being questioned he said Bizzrl paid him five cents to do the orranI. Complaint was made to Policeman William O'Mara. who re- ported the matter at headquarters and q warrant was issued by Prose- cutting Attorney ]. G. Woods.
 EIiz2el, through Attorney Monroe <. Gordon, denied the charge. He said John Brizzol. another store keeper had ordered the pigs tail thrown into the garbage and tho small boy must have delivered it to tho Kryscinski home on his own re- sponslhiity.
 kryscinski's daughter said Brizzol is jealous because she and her folks have been able to improve their liv- ing conditions. Formerly. Brizzcl ridiculod them and said thoy lived in house that was no better than a barn, she said.
 At the outset. Attorney Gordon called the attention of the court to the fact that the date of the alleged oi"nse Wds incorrectly given in the warrant. Whcrcupon Prosecuting At torney Woods promptly changed the date. nolled tn" original count and charged Erizzcl with the offonse on February q.
 The continued case of Mrs. Mary Tyzko, aged 32, of 53 Pleasant street. charged with violation of the liquor law. was again continued un- til March s. due to the inability of Attorney Thomas F. McDonough to attend court.
 Rudolph Highbcrg of 4l6 Wood land street. Hartford. charged with reckless driving and violation of the rules of the road was represented by Attorney M. II. Camp, whose re- quast for continuance until March 5 was granted. It is alleged that an antomobll" driven by Highbcrg l collidcl with an automobile driven by William J. Sweeney well known golfer, on West Main street.
