EXPECTS TO RECEIVE
 PENSION OF S25,O00
Lord Diik cslhcad Notifies Attorney General That He Desires
 ClIaHccllOr's Stipend

London, Nov. o1 R-T. E. Mer- riman, attorney general, has been notified by Lord Birkenhead that he expected 10 receive former chap- cellors pension of $25,o00 annually during the period of transition from his old to his new duties.
 Lord Birkcnhead was lord chan ccllor from January 1919 to October 1922. In November 1924 he was ap- pointed secretary Of state for India and resigned that post recently to enter business.
 The attorney sct~nral said in the house of common yesterday that he agreed with Lord Birkcnhead's view that such pensions were rewards. not for service yet to be performed, but for service already performed.
 Captain Wedgwood Benn, a labor member. remarked that Lord Birk- cnhead was already director of threc large industrial concerns.
 The attorney general said that as a former lord chancellor. Lord Bir- kenhead had the right to revive a surrendered pension. Cases of this sort had occurred previously. tHc thought that in the present case the period of transition would not be long.

 Attorney Yale Sable of New Brit ain represented the men. May Tattoo Hens Inquiry among poultry raiscrs in l the vicinity reveals that no more , birds have been lost up to the pres cnt time by thieves. Some growers l have shown a decided interest in the Connecticut Poultry association. County prosecutors and state police stolen poultry will do much to con- agree that q method of identifying vict thieves and to stop some of the poultry thievlng about the state.
 The method which they suggest is that of tattooing birds with India ink that will last the life of the bir6 and is done under the web of the wing.
 Members Of the association will b. assigned a special number and let ter with no duplicates and these wil bc recorded in the secretary's office and with the superintendent of thu state police.

time.'' What was wrong with the peo pie you just had?" Emmy asked How did they all happen to leav' you at the same time?"
 Grandmother shrugged her blacl silk shoulders. Well. I made thu mistake of hiring a whole family-s father. mother. and a daughter. She began her story:
 This morning the girl-Sophie her name was-came to me and told me she would have to have more money than I was paying her. Ard as 1t was, she was getting fifteer dollars a week for making few beds and flirting a feather dustei around the upstairs rooms. So told her she wouldn't get another nickel out of me. Servants aren much good. anyway. nowadays, and atfer they get a raise they aren any good at all. They begin to think YOU can't do without 'em. l just sailed down into the kitchen and told them all they could leave when their week was up on Tuesday. And half an hour later they walked out of the house! owe them for four days, of course. But l shall never pay them cent.'
 Mrs. Milburn's eyes were thought ful as she picked up her mendins basket with its eternal mound ol stockings and socks to be darned.
 "I'if1ecn dollars a week for mak' ing a few beds" she said, musing "My, sut I wish somebody would give me fifteen dollars week fol doing the upstairs work in a house.
 She laughed, but she meant Wha' she said next: If l didn't live SC far from Prospect street I'd ask you to give me that job. Mother

 "I want you. Mother" she sai con,for,ingly.
 But it's not Mother she wants, thought Emmy, who saw thing very clearly at times. She's cryin about he people who don't reall ] care for hcr-Marianna and youn Bill.'
 Those were the people Grand mother rentland missed and want ed. The rica. selfish. carelcssl cruel people who were The Tamil and not the loWly Milburns.

A Clever Scheme.

The American writer of travel ro-
mances who has just completed swim
through the Panama Canal evidently
needed bit of publicity for his books,
or else he would never have engaged in
such a SenselesS undertaking. The
swim was a pronounced success as far as
publicity was concerned as witness the
columns Of space i'll newspapers
throughout the country, but the exploit
probably brought no cheers by the
United States Government. as Uncle
Sam had to foot the bill for opening
and closing the locks to speed the au
thor on his way from ocean to ocean
The toll fee for the operation of the ei-
santic machinery necessary to permit
passage through the canal is rated on
the tonnage basis. When the lone swim
mer approached the locks and de-
manded that they be operated for him.
there was nothing to do-except. of
course, to tell him 30 turn back and
swim the Other way---but to set the pom
derouS works in motion. The swimmer
paid thirty-six cents on the tonnage
basis and the United States paid the
rest, which amounts to many times
thlrty-six cents. II She writer Is as
clever in his stories as he is in cooking
up a scheme for personal publicity at
the expense of Uncle Sam, they must
indeed be good, but if so why all the
exercise?

The Bygone Bike

The Bygone Bike.
Sometimes. as in a dream. I see
The time, so very distant,
When bicycles means would be
OF pleasure so persistent.
The pace they set brought many a car
And where the travel crosses
Would give pedestrians many a scare
And brighten all the HOSES.
The bike would fill the atmosphere
With most disturbing rumors.
A neighbor girl we'd maybe hear
Had built herself some "bloomers!"
The two-wheel terror is no more.
In gentleness seraphic
1t wobbles mid the highways roar.
Compelled to dodge the traffic.
No longer do we hear demands
To curb some scorching fellah.
No lady on the curbstone stands
With threatening umbrella.
Where motor cars rush on pell-mell,
With wrecks the street to sprinkle.
We wish that We could hear that bell
With unobtrusive tinkle!
