The affection shown him by a pel
hen saved “Paddy” McGlone, a well
known character, from another trip
to jail. When he was brought before
Judge Naar, at the night court, the
policeman said he thought “Paddy”
stole the chicken. McGlone insisted
that it was hia pet hen Betty, and he
called: “Come here, Betty.” The cell
door waa open, and the hen flew

Judge Naar. “Take Betty home,

Memoirs oj Napoleon
In Three Volumes
The personal reminiscences of Baron de Mlneval, for
thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
bring out, as no history can, many enlightening and
interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of
leaders. De Me'nevai’s descriptions have the piquancy
and interest possible only because he was an actual eye-
witness of the scenes and incidents of which he writes.
Their reliability and historical interest can be judged by
the fact that the very conservative French Academy
publicly recommends them.

WEST WIND AND A

Hammond. Ind.—John Nadden a
neighbor to the west bad a goat, an all

senses It had goatish horns and a
goatish manner of using them, goatish
whiskers, goatish tall, goatish hoofs
mnd a goatish appetite, but John's ob-
jections to the goat, which were as
violent as bla Innate politeness would
admit, were based on none of these
things.
"Always the wind seems to blow
from the west,' lamented John bitter-
ly, whenever the owner of the goat
dropped In for a neighborly chat The
neighbor was as obtuse as John waa
polite.
'It la odd," he reflected, "how differ
ently people should feel about the
quarter from which blows the wind
Dominick, who lives In the house be
yond mine, seems to rejoice when the
wind is from the west. The east wind
makes him sour and disagreeable.''
So things went until the other day
Nadden awoke gasping. He rose from
his bed and dazedly staggered to the
gas jet. The cock was tightly shut.

broken beer bottle, crumbs from which
glistened In his whiskers.
John went Into the yard and lassoed
the goaL The last seen of him he was
loitering near the railroad station a
mile from his home, and the goat was
with him st the far end of a long rope.
Persons who passed him said Nadden
appeared to he In the throes of some
great sorrow, for his face was burled
so deeply In his hands that not even
the tip of his nOBe was visible
But that was not the last seen of the

As a train was flashing past a sign
board bearing the gratuitous Informa-
tion that Hammond was three miles be

the rear coach by an Indignant pas-

tilators should be opened before there
were serious results. The conductor

HID HEADS IN MAIL SACKS
Nsgro Postal Clerks Hid to Do
Thsy Were Told by Train
Robbers.
Shreveport La—Two mail clerks on
Kansas City Southern train No. 3 say
they thrust their heads Into mall
pouches and kept them there at the
command of a robber who hoarded the
train at a switch two miles north of
here a few nights ago and escaped
with the registered mall.
The clerks. T. L. Anderson and J.
L. Vaughn, negroes, do not know
where the bandit left the car be-
cause they did not dare remove the
sacks until the train stopped at the
railroad shops, a mile north of the
switch whers the robber had boarded
the train.
"Dead" Hen Laid an Egg.
Coatesvllle, Pa —Louis Lenardo was
much surprised a few days ago when
hia little son Informed him that a ben
he had left tor dead had laid an egg
and was standing by her nest cackling
triumphantly. The fowl proved to be
one Lenardo had attempted to bleed
with a penknife, the ben apparently
taring lied after Us lnolaloa.
In six weeks this conte’t will be a thing of the
past. The race will be run and the awards made.
We are absolutely correct in saying that
these few remaining weeks constitute absolutely
the most inportant part of the contest. There
is not a single doubt that ANY candidate who
will NOW get out and work can WIN.
Another word, it is a certainty that more
more votes can be gathered in the remaining
six weeks than any candidate in this contest has.
To do this, of course, means greater effort than
it would have taken to have collected the votes
more gradually. It will mean more minutes per
hour and hours per day spent in hustling BUT
a candidate can, if she ( will work, start with
nothing today AND WIN THE CONTEST.
Let this thought be a bugle call for you.
Let it stir" yon on to fresh endeavor-renewed
enthusiasm. Grasp your purpose firmly-dare
to wore-dare to show people that you can and
WILL WIN. Is it worth while to sit back now
when victory is certainly in your grasp? The
place of the leader is not secure-they have not
yet won. Make them earn the race.
Let a compelling desire furnish the power-
ful impulse for work which will make defeat im-
dossible and victory assured. Not much longer
can we write you in this tune. Much longer
neglected, your opportunity will have passed.
It is here NOW. Grasp it.
