ThesofAQfAt1od Georgia Copper in New York Has Cash in Socks SYVE COT Arf' I'M A CAWCIA coP - N EW YORK.-He turned out to be a policeman from Awgustah, Gawgia, but he also closely resem bled a walking safety deposit box. He was a money-lined cop all right. He came here several days ago and went to Coney Island. A postal card found in his pocket, which he had forgotten to mail, read: "I am having a great time." Another of a later date had on it: "I am having a h-1 of a time." He came up from Coney the other day, and at 14th street and Broadway he smiled a great deal, danced a bit and was telling a crowd how he was enjoying his stay. Then he met Patrolman Schwartz of the Mercer street station. He flashed his badge on Schwartz, slap ped him on the back and became so friendly that Schwartz affably invit ed him to come around to the "house" and meet Lieutenant Bauer. The Aw gustah cop accepted the invitation How Mayor Fitzgerald Picked Out the Right Cow B OSTON, Mass.-- Mayor Fitzgerald, Daniel J. McDonald of the city council, Andrew R. Kelley, the state committeeman from ward 20, and a host of others interested in the de velopment of the Suffolk School for Boys in Rainesford island, visited that place the other day. First, the excellently equipped and managed shoe shop was inspected, then the gymnasium, the dining hall and the tailor shop in order. The mayor is one who is not given to regretful moods. "To the barn, boys; to the barn," he said. "I want to show you how to milk." "You don't have to show me," said Committeeman Kelley. "Nor me," voiced Councillor McDon ald. "Here's a dollar that says that I can show you both," challenged the mayor. The bets were posted, and then tracks were made for the barn. "A cow for each," said Superintend ent Ryan, adding, "make your choice." Each of the contestants picked a cow, but as there was but one pail available it was promptly agreed that each in his turn should have one min ute. Committeeman Kelley drew first place, but the cow might have been of wood for all the good it did him. Councillor McDonald, too, labored industriously until time was called, Man Has Warrant Sworn Out for His Own Arrest T. LOUIS. Mo.-A man fighting with himself, going through all the motions of a regular ringside fistic en counter and angering his "opponent" to such a white hot rage that he final ly pulls himself into a police station and requests the sergeant to arrest himself, is the unique form of out door sport by which an absent-mind ed citizen of St. Louis entertained himself the other night. Samuel Williams of East St. Louis is the man and is declared by the po lice to be insane. On this particular night Williams was attacked and beaten by a thug. He arrived at Jus tice Bell's office the next morning much the worse for wear and asked that a warrant be issued for the ar rest of a certain person. "Whom do you want to arrest?" Naval Recruits' $20 Bills Cause Money Panic C HICAGO.-Eighty recruits from the naval training station at Lake Bluff nearly caused a financial panic at Highwood and Highland Park the other day. The recruits, each bearing a $20 bill received from the naval station, boarded a Chicago and Milwaukee car in the morning. They were all bound for Chicago, from which city they were to leave for their homes on the seven-day furlough. John Hall of Highwood, the conductor, held out a hand invitingly to the first recruit in the car for 35 cents, the fare to Evanston. The recruit pulled up one trouser leg, unbuttoned the flap of a secret pocket and presented the conductor with a $20 bill. "Is that the smallest you have?" asked the conductor. "That's the smallest, the largest and all." said the recruit, "and every one of these eighty men has one just like it" Hall telephoned to the paymaster of the oompany, who boarded the train with enthusiasm. There he gave his name as Thomas J. Foster. Bauer said: "I think you had better spend the night here." "That's real hospitable of you," said the southerner. "I think I'1 just do that." "Perhaps you'd better let us take care of your money," suggested Bauer, giving Schwartz the signal to search him. "I've got a lot of money, even if I am only an Awgustah cop," he said. But Schwartz, searching his pockets, could only bring forth a $5 bill. It had been thrust far down in the up per outside pocket of his coat. "Is that all your money?" asked Bauer. "I got more'n 'at," declared Foster. Sure enough, Schwartz found a $20 yellowback pinned to one of his socks. 'More'n 'at," declared Foster. There was another $20 yellowback in a little pocketbook pinned to the other sock. In the toe of his right shoe was also found a first-class re turn ticket to Awgustah. Then he was taken to a cell, charg ed with intoxication. He expressed himself as quite satisfied and sank swiftly to sleep. but, beyond a little moisture on his fingers, had no better luck than the committeeman. "Just watch the real farmer," said the mayor laughingly, taking the pail and cautiously approaching the cow with a "soo boss, soo boss." "Nothing like getting the confidence of the cow first, if for nothing more than safety," he explained. He dropped to the low stool, placed the pail tightly between his knees and as his voice swelled with strains of "I Want to Be in Dixie," the milk began to dash against the bottom of the pail with a noise like steam escaping from an exhaust pipe. The mayor, of course, was declared the winner and as the superintendent was about to pass the money over to him, he remarked: "It's a shame to take their money. You couldn't lose." "No," repeated the superintendent, very gravely, "you couldn't lose, be cause the other two cows are dry yes, have been so for nearly a month." The bets were declared off. asked the justice, looking Williams over with a scrutinizing eye. "I want to jail Samuel Williams, that's who," shouted Williams. "What's the charge?" "I don't know what to tharge him with, but I know what he did to me. He attacked me on the street as I was going home and beat me to a pulp Just because when he went through my pockets there was no money to be found." Williams shuffled out of the polio. court and wandered back to his home. A half hour later he was surprised to see two husky bluecoats drive up in a patrol wagon and stop at his door. "You're under arrest," growled the first cop, seizing Williams roughly. "Come along to the station." Williams did as directed and was haled before the justice who signed his own warrant. Then Williams recalled that he was Samuel Williams and by a mistake had charged himself with disturbing the peace. He was released when he assured the police that any charge that that he had fought with himself was greatly exaggerated and more of less untrue. at Highwood with a hand grip full of bills and started to change the big bills into smaller ones. Before he was half way through the car his sup ply of bills had been exhausted. When the car reached Highland Park the paymaster hurried to the bank and threw a bundle of twenties to the teller, saying he wanted a lot of ones, twos and fives. The teller reached into the drawer and before all the twenties had been changed the second time the small bills of the bank were almost gone. The eighty recruits had completed their course at the naval station and had been granted a seven days' ft.x Lough before reporting for dat aboard their respective ships. HANDY MILK BOTTLE CARRIER Wire Clips Instantly Engage Neck of Bottle and Can Be Released Almost Instantly. A bottle-carrier particularly design ed for milk bottles, but useful for oth ers with large mouths or for jars, has been patented by a Maryland man. Two pieces of wire are bent into square form at one end and semi-cir cular form at the other. When con nected- the square ends form clips to engage the neck of the bottle. When these handles are spread apart the circle formed by the two clips is at its widest circumference and will eas M B --Milk Bottle Carrier. Milk Bottle Carrier. fly encircle a bottle. When the han. dies are pressed together the circle is compressed and grips the bottle, ma king it easy to carry. By setting the bottle down and releasing the grip the improvised handle can be released in an instant. The milkman will find plenty of use for this device. INTEREST IN DAIRY FEEDING Bulletin of Pennsylvania Experiment Station Discusses Matter in Most Thorough Manner. To those of our readers who make a careful study of dairy feeding, bulle tin 114 of the Pennsylvania experi ment station will be very interesting. The principles in dairy feeding are gone into both in a theoretical and practical manner. In a rough way the following rules are laid down as good: 1. Feed grain in proportion to milk yields; that is, give her, for example, one pound of grain mixture per day for each three or four pounds of milk produced. 2. Feed all the roughage which the cow will eat up clean, up to the point where she gains too much weight. 8. Whenever she becomes too fat re duce the amount of roughage, leaving the amount of grain to be determined by the milk yield. Food requirements for cows of dif ferent weights and cows producing different amounts of milk are given in tables. Most of our readers will find the methods as described in the bulletin ectremely unscientific, but af. ter they have studied it a little they will find it quite simple and, we be lieve, q ite practical. Of all the ex periment stations the Pennsylvania has done the most scientific work with feeding stock.-Pennsylvania Experiment Station. LATCH FOR A SWINGING GATE Illustration Given, Together With DI. rections for Making Convenient Little Farm Device. A good latch for farm gates may be made as shown in the accompany. ing sketch. The slide A is suspend. ed by the hangers BB, which are placed on each side of the gate. The back end of the latch works between the guides C and the front end be tween the end pieces of the gate. The slide engages with a slot in the gate post when the gate is shut. The hangers BB are made in any convenient length. The holes are one-fourth inch in diameter and tire bolts are used as fasteners. The holes for the hangers should be drilled one-third of the width of the latch from its top to make the largest Latch for Swinging Gate. part of the weight fall below the fastenings of the supports, writes Willard H.

About four years ago some walls made of cinder concrete were erected at Columbia university, and since then they have been subjected to several four-hour tests by fire when the aver age temperature was 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of each test a stream of water was applied for ton minutes when the walls were hot. Not withstanding these tests, the walls, for all practical purposes, are as good as when erected, and the percentages of coal and fine material in such cin ders appear to have very little effect on their fire-resisting qualities. The pieces of coal which were next to the surface in these walls were burned to ash, but the ash remained in place and acted as a non-conductor of heat. Several particles of pure coal were found within two inches of the sur face. NO FORESTS IN CHINA. In China there are no forests. The great plain never had forests, being entirely of delta formation, and the mountainous regions to the north and west were denuded of their trees cen. turies ago. The surface soil has been washed away, and to reforest it would involve uncertainty, much time, and great fortunes. A British corporation has a concession for coal mining in the Kaiping district, about eighty miles northeast of Tientsin, where the surface of the whole region is broken by hills 50 to 200 feet high, and absolutely bare of trees. The com. pany, however, has begun the work of afforestation, and already has 1,000, 000 young trees growing, chiefly aca cia, and is preparing to establish a -ursery on a much larger scale.
