ILTINO OWL
PITTS LIGHTS
ON THE BLINK.
Redding, Aug. 31.—An owl flying
with a rabbit in its talons, threw
erery town in the Sacramento volley
into darkness last night. It was
fifteen minutes before the trouble was
located and the mischief righted by
shifting (he electrical current to an-
other set tf wires on the Northern
California Power company's lines.
The owl, with the rabbit hanging
below, flew against two power wires
two miles north of Palo Cedro, cre-
ating a short circuit, that upset 200
miles of light wires and threw a
aeore of towns into eclipse. The
owl and its prey were found this
morning by A. E. Mace. Nearly
every feather was burned off the
bird. The rabbit was roasted to a
turn.
STUTTER AND
STAMMER PEOPLE
IN DETROIT.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 31.—The
strangest convention the city ever had
was held here—the first annual meet-
ing of the united association of
stammerers and sutterers of the
world.
About 100 persons afflicted with
impediments in their speech from all
parts of the United States and Can-
ada attended. The opening address
was made by George Andrews Lew-
is, who conducts a school here for
thhe curing of the affliction. lie
told of his attempts to interest phil-
anthropists in fighting stammering
through trying to establish a groat
free school for the cure of the af-
flicted.
Already, he said, one New York
philanthropist, whose name is with-
held, has donated a large snm and
other donations toward the school are
expected.

REBEL AT LENDING
ON AUTOMOBILES.
Paris, Aug. 31.—French govern-
ment pawn shops have decided to
make no further advances on motor
earn.
The decision resulted from a rank
imposition practiced upon the pawn
shops by automobile owners who,
when desiring to go on vacations for
several weeks found that it was cheap |
er to pawn their machines than to
place them in garages.
•ays He Never Courted a Qlrl Be>
cause It Was Too Hard Work-
Never Reads, But Has Won*
derful Memory.
Jerseyville, HI.—John Muncra, lazi-
est man in the world, who has lain la
bed for ten years at the Jersey county
farm, near this city, said to a corre-
spondent who visited him recently,
that he never had a sweetheart be-
cause courting a pretty girl requires
too much energy.
"No, slree," said John, tossing his
Jong, black hair back from his fore-
head, "I never liked work well
enough to go chasing after the gals.
While the other fellows were chasing
around and thinking they were hav-
ing a lot of fun I was in bed getting
my rest I always did like to sleep.
"It's funny how some men waste
their time courting. I've heard of
them sitting up till nine or ten
o'clock doing it when sleep would
have done them a lot more good. Of
course, a fellow might get a good wife
that way, but he'd never make up for
the time he lost. That's why so many
people die. They don't get enough
Bleep."
This man with the queer philoso-
phy of courtship and slumber Ib 69
years old and weighs 80 pounds; yet
he has not been ill a day since he
wont to bed for good, March 1, 1899.
"You don't need a lot of muscle
when you don't work," he said.
"Work Is what makes a fellow old.
I don't see why anybody works when
he can lie In bed like I do. It's the
only way to live. I'll bet I've a bet
ter appetite than anybody here."

cated.

towns." but declared that it was
only the application of "good, com-
mon horse sense." He denied there
was a monopoly.
