From nameless waif in a foundling
home to heir to a fortune estimated
at $40,000,000 is the transformation
wrought by the adoption of little “Jno.
Doe, No. 104” by Mr. and Mrs. Fin-
ley J. Shepard of New York. The lit-
tle fellow, now about five years old,
was found about one year ago on the
steps of St. Patrick’s cathedral one
night in September, 1914. He was sent
to a children’s home in Dobb’s Ferry,
where his childish beauty attracted the
attention of Mrs. Shepard, who, ba-
fore her marriage was Miss Helen
Gould. Steps were taken to adopt the
youngster and he is Finley Shepard,
Jr. and will have the best education
that money will procure.

Chickens

“I think it would be lovely to have
a few chickens,” said Mrs. Ballanding-
burg. .
“You think it would, eh?” retorted
Ballandingburg. “Well, I know it
wouldn't. When I was driving a mail
wagon our folks had chickens. The
darned chickens persisted in riding on
the lead and the axles of the mail wag-
gn and I couldn't keep them off.
“I had to go to the depot at 3
o'clock in the morning while it was
still dark with the wagon loaded down
with chickens riding the bumpers and
the. brake beams.”
“That shows how much you know
about chickens! When they once get
.on a reost you can’t get them off by
any kind of pressure or show of force.
Those birds could ride all the way to
to the depot, where I would bang a
lot of mail into the wagon right over
their heads. Did it bother them? No
more than it would have bhethered sea-
soned apartment dwellers. I met seven
trains in the morning and mauled and
hauled all kinds of mail right over
their heads without rousing them from
their slumbers. + :
“I used to feel like a fool when it
would begin to be daylight, driving
through the streets with a wagon load-

“Those chickens would stay right
there until broad daylight. Then while

office door they would see the plot of

to this effect and approved by the Ber-
lin Foreign Offfice, has been sent out.
Dr. Delbruck is quoted as saying, in
part: “I ‘believe that peace could be
had within a very short time—peace
upon reasonable terms. I believe that
President Wilson and the Pope could
be the peace mediators and probably
bring about a speedy peace. The ma-
Jority of Germans want peace but at
ell events the war must go on until
Poland and the Baltic provinces are
liberated and the freedom of the sea
is secured. Then the cause of militar-
ism will have been removed and ar-
maments could be reduced every-
where at the close of this war.”

Suffrage leaders anounced that they

them to vote next spring for presiden

which to make their most effective
campaign. Candidates for the legis-
lature have been nominated by both
big parties and will come before the
voters on November 2nd. President
Wilson’s recent announcement that
