DROWNED 38 LitrLe CHICKs. 
The good counsels of Chief of Po- 
lice Sullivan of Manchester were en- 
joined a few days since by a resident 
of Essex Old Road to fix a value on 
38 little chickens that somebody had 
drowned in a tub of water. It ap- 
pears that Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mor- 
gan (nee Mrs. Lovely) had set sev- 
eral hens and of the number of chick- 
ens hatched, 38 survived. One day 
when Mrs. Morgan returned to her 
home she was surprised to find the 
38 chicks drowned in a tub of water 
in her yard, and also 8 eggs in the hen- 
house that were about to hatch out 
were broken. Neighbors said that 
the 3-year old child of an Italian fami- 
ly had done the mischief, but the Chief 
as well as others, is of the opinion 
that no 3-year-old would or could 
do sucha thing. Mrs. Morgan wanted 
$8 from the parents of the child to 
pay for the loss. The Chief thinks 
there may be some connection between 
this affair and the shooting of a dog 
in the same neighborhood the week 
previous

INTERESTING CARD ‘FOR GLOUCESTER 
ATHLETIC CLuB Meret 
On next Monday evening the Glou- 
cester Social and Athletic Club -will 
present one of the strongest cards of 
the season, at City hall, in Gloucester. 
Battling Sylvia of New Bedford will 
meet Young Jasper of Boston in ’the 
main bout. Sylvia has fought all-of 
New England’s best boxers, including 
Joe Chick. He is a boy who keeps 
fighting all the time, and carries a 
heavy punch in either hand. Jasper 
is in ‘good condition, and as the mem- 
bers have already seen him perform, 
there should be action from the tap of 
the gong to the fmal session. In ‘the 
semi-final Jack Smith will meet Al 
McInnis. Both Smith and McInnis 
have performed in Gloucester and it 
will be a case of nip and tuck. The 
preliminary brings together Young 
McMann of Amesbury and Frankie 
Madison, the Danvers slasher. Two 
special coaches will run on the train 
that arrives in Gloucester at 7.36 as 
a big crowd will come with these twe 
boys. The entertainment will be over 
at 9.45 P. M., giving ample time to 
get the last train.

“So!” roared Bilkins, siezing Wig- 
gles by the arm, “I’ve found -you at 
last ! You called me a jackass at the 
club the other day, and, by ginger, 
you've got to apologize.” 
“All right, Bilk,” said Wiggles. 
“Anything to oblige. Lead me to the 
real jackass and I'll apologize to his 
face.”"—Harper’s Weekly.
