nearly threw Chief Clerk Walter Gilbert,
of tho Pollco Department, at City Hall,
and u scoro or more of assistants Into
hysterics and other signs of mournful
grief
Rudolph, however, by some miracle was
not killed. Tossibly ho would confess to
a Blight "shaking up," perhaps even to a
scare. As It wns, he remained some
what stunned while his father nnd mother
fluttered about him In City Hall court
yard and a crowd gathered to express
condolences. Chief Clerk Gilbert went
down from his office and oxpected to help
carry up a dead body. He was agreeably
surprised and gathered little Rudolph In
Ms arms and restored him to his nest
ln the (lower box outside tho window of
Room No. 213.
Rudolph and his little sister Lucretla,
named In honor ot Mrs. Blankenburg,
were born yesterday (hatched would
