The London zoological gardens
have recently acquired two new
condors, which are probably the
rarest and most valuable birds
by that great institution.
An artist who went to inspect the
new condors found them dis-
on the stump of a tree,
and was somewhat disappointed at
their appearance. Having read that
these birds occasionally measured
eighteen feet from wing to wing, ho
was surprised to find them consider-
ably smaller than himself.
The condor belongs to the vulture
family. Although its size has been
frequently exaggerated by travelers,
it undoubtedly attains a great size.
The ordinary expanse of the wings
in a full-grown bird Is said to be
about nine feet, and the height four
feet, but the wing measurement is
sometimes as great as fourteen feet.
The wings are long In proportion
to the body and extremely power-
The tail is short and wedge-
shaped. The general color is black
and is brightest in the males.

first occasion that a president of the

well-known fact that the president
never accepts any invitation either
to dinners or receptions at a foreign
legation, and that throughout the
term of his office as chief magistrate
of the United States he has never
upon any occasion entered the doors
of a legation. The reason for this is
because in so doing be is conforming
to tho conditions of the constitution
of the United States. In that in-
is a clause declaring that
the president of the United States,

Hers, it appeared, had been merely
a girlish fancy. She was now the

The disappointed suitor tried to
arrange a meeting with her, but all
his endeavors were foiled. Finally
he wrote to her insisting upon the
return of the gifts he had once made.
This the young woman foolishly re-

that night forced his way into the

now for mine. Five years ago
I was a deputy United States mar-
in southeastern Kentucky, and
most of my business was with moon-
shiners. I had pretty fair success
and bagged a lot of them, but there
was one, the chief of the gang and
the worst of thorn all, that we
couldn't get our hands on. One day,
however, word to me that he
was at his cabin in the mountain,
end if I could get there with a force
of men we might surround the place
and capture him, as he had just
come, in and expected to get out
again before we should hear any-
thing of him. In ten minutes I was
on my way to his cabin with ten
men, all armed with heavy
and all moving out by differ-
ways, so as not to excite
and let him get on to our
movements. We were to meet at a
point about half a mile from his house
and then swoop down on it and take
him in. The first part of the pro-
gramme went off all right, and
hour after I had heard he was at
home I had his house surrounded.
Then I rode to the door and yelled
and a woman came out.

dodged in, shutting the door after
her with a slam, and barring it on
the inside, as I could very plainly
hear.
before we had a chance to
make a rush a gun went off in the
house and a bullet went
against a tree near me. I thought
it was time to get under cover, and
did so with promptness and dis-
patch, and at once ordered my men
to close up and fire on the house.
This they did with pleasure, but we
might as well have fired at a stock-
for the cabin was built of heavy
logs, and nothing short of a
howitzer could have any serious
effect upon it. We banged away,
though, and every now and then a
shot came from the inside, and
whistled disagreeably near us. One
time, when one of my men showed
up where he could get a shot at the
only pane of glass visible, two shots
came after him so closely that he
stayed in hiding for the rest of the
time. This was about nine o'clock
in the morning, and we at last con-

A FINE DOG.
Rochester Boasts a Canine That Heeds
Every Alarm.
Rover is the name of a white-and-
black spaniel that for the past month
has followed truck of Front street
to all fires where the services of the
company were needed. Truck
only responds to calls in the sections
of the city where there are high
buildings, but there have been a
number of calls to break
Rover in to his new duties.
It is a strange story that the fire-
men tell of how the dog happened to
take up with their manner of life. It
was in the early part of August,
they say, that when going at full
speed to a fire on the west side tho
animal was first seen following the
apparatus and barking as if he
thought his efforts would spur the
four grays to a greater speed. Tho
dog was allowed to follow the truck
back to the house, where he has since
remained. He is a great pet of the
fire laddies, who named him Rover,
after the old hand engine Red Rover.
Rover sleeps in the stable with the
horses and during the night if a call
comes he will bark and run about,
impatient for the firemen to leave
the building. The men say that
when their pet gets used to a fire
man's life he will be more calm when
an alarm is

hour and a half, and a the

that an election bill would be

there was only a knocking to-

The Old Man Had rod a
Till the Mice Nibbled It.
Not long ago a twenty dollar note
was sent to the United States treas-
for redemption. Accompanying
it was an affidavit saying that the
owner put it in a cigar box,
mice had got at it and nibbled it.
The note was a counterfeit. Not
only that, but it had been through
the treasury here at some previous
time, and had been stamped with
the word in letters cut out of
the paper. But tho alleged mice
had almost obliterated the letters
by nibbling them. It was a
queer way for mice to behave, to
say the least of it. A detective of
the was sent to look the
matter up. He investigated the
case fully, and reported that it was
all short, that the note
had been submitted for redemption
in good faith.
The owner, it appears, was an old
German sailor of respectable char-
Nevertheless he would go on
an occasional spree. Waking up
one morning
he found all his money gone
except this note of twenty dollars.
Somebody had, doubtless, passed It
off on him. He noticed nothing
wrong about it, and had put it into
the cigar box in which he kept not-
only his ready money, but also bird-
seed for his pet canary. Mice at-

box, and incidentally chewed up tho

now for mine. Five years ago
I was a deputy United States mar-
in southeastern Kentucky, and
most of my business was with moon-
shiners. I had pretty fair success
and bagged a lot of them, but there
was one, the chief of the gang and
the worst of them all, that we
couldn't get our hands on. One
however, word came to me that he
was at his in the mountain,
and if I could get there with a force
of men we might surround the place
and capture him. as he had just
come and expected to get out
again before we should hear any-
thing of him. In ten minutes I was
on my way to his cabin with ten
men, all armed with heavy
and all moving out by differ-
ways, so as not to excite
and let him get on to our
movements. We were to meet at a
point about half a mile from his house
and then swoop down on it and take
him in. The first part of the pro-
gramme went off all right, and an
hour after I had heard he was at
home I had his house surrounded.
Then I rode to the door and yelled
and a woman came out.

dodged in, shutting the door after
her with a slam, and barring it on
the inside, as I could very plainly
hear.
before we had a chance to
make a rush a gun went off the
house and a bullet went
against a tree near me. I thought
it was time to get under cover, and
did so with promptness and dis-
patch, and at once ordered my men
to close up and fire on the house.
This they did with pleasure, but we
might as well have fired at a stock-
for the cabin was built of heavy
logs, and nothing short of a
howitzer could have any serious
effect upon it. We banged away,
though, and every now and then a
shot came from the inside, and
whistled disagreeably near us. One
time, when one of my men showed
up where he could get a shot at the
only pane of glass visible, two shots
came after him so closely that he
staved In hiding for the rest of the
time. This was about nine o'clock
in the morning, and we at last con-

we could not very
well burn it down, even if we could
get close enough to fire it; we would
simply camp on their trail and
starve them out. So we took our
places to command every point to
prevent escape, and waited.
At intervals a shot would
come from the cabin, but we
would not pay any attention to
it, thinking that our man might think
we had gone and come out, but he
didn't, and the long day wore on. It
was raining, too, after noon, and we
were decidedly uncomfortable, but
had our game and we were
bound to get him or stay there a
year. However, it was not to be
that we were to remain quite that
long, for about eight o'clock in the
evening, when it was so dark we
couldn't see our hands before us, and
had come up so close to the cabin
that we trusted to our ears instead
of our eyes to catch the moonshiner

A FINE DOG.
Rochester Boasts a Canine That Heeds
Every Alarm.
Rover is the name of a white-and-
black spaniel that for the past month
has followed truck of Front street
to all fires where the services of the
company were needed. Truck
only responds to calls in the sections
of the city where there are high
buildings, but there have been a
number of calls to break
Rover in to his new duties.
It Is a strange story that the fire-
men tell of how the dog happened to
take up with their manner of life. It
was in the early part of August,
they say, that when going at full
speed to a fire on the west side the
animal was first seen following the
apparatus and barking as if he
thought his efforts would spur the
four grays to a greater speed. The
dog was allowed to follow the truck
back to the house, where he has since
remained. lie is a great pet of the
fire laddies, who named him Rover,
after the old hand engine Red Rover.
Rover sleeps in the stable with the
horses and during the night if a call
comes he will bark and run about,
impatient for the firemen to leave
the building. The men say that
when their pet gets used to a fire-
man's life he will be more calm when

Last night in the Auditor's
office there was a meeting of the

IT WAS NOT REDEEMED.
The Old Man Had Treasured a
Till the Mice Nibbled It.
Not long ago a twenty dollar note
was sent to the United States treas-
for redemption. Accompanying
was an affidavit saying that the
owner put it in a cigar box, where
mice had got at it and it.
The note was a counterfeit. Not
only that, but it had been through
the treasury here at some previous
time, and had been stamped with
the word in letters cut out of
the paper. But the alleged mice
had almost obliterated the letters
by nibbling around them. It was a
queer way for mice to behave, to
say the least of It. A detective of
the was sent to look the
matter up. He Investigated the
case fully, and reported that it was

cents a week entitles one to the

which is the opportunity to enjoy at
moderate price the excellent food
served from the well-ordered
kitchen, which is a chief feature of
the rest. Great is taken to

Tea has not yet been seriously

either the tea district, nearly all in
the south of China, or the ports
from which is exported. While
some tea is produced north China,
the foreign supply comes almost
together from regions removed from
the war and its influence, says the
Philadelphia Press. In addition,
the proportionate share of tea pro-

Work He Does.
How much docs a newspaper man
write in a year An old newspaper
worker has sat clown figured it
out. He figures that he writes an
average of a column and a half every
day, except for his Sunday paper,
when he contributes three columns.
This makes twelve columns a week,
and, allowing for two
he has fifty weeks in a year, in
which time he turns out
words. An ordinary book of short
stories contains about words,
therefore his year's labor is
to twenty books. At this rate
of comparison the feat of Marion
Crawford in publishing two books
per annum does not strike tho news-
paper man as an Incredibly hard task,
even allowing for the extra amount
of thought involved in story writing.
