BROOKLYN. “OWNER HAS NO FURTHER USE FOR HIM.” N 23D STREET near Fourth Avenue to-day I saw a rather poor- O lookihg bay horse running along behind a small car to which Ps he was tied by a halter. The car was guing at a pretty good ' Tate of speed, and the horse seemed to resent this treatment, for ho occasionally broke in his gait and acted as if he'd like to break away, I noticed a traffic cop gaze sympatheticlly at him, A little later I saw this horse and car standing in front of an auction place on 24th Street near Lexington Avenue. Then I understood why the cop had gazed so sympathetically at the animal. His owner had bought a car and now he was going to get rid of old faithful, whose usefylness was no longer held in regard, and the money would help buy “feed” for an fron horse—James K.

UNBECOMING CONDUCT. <Y RESIDENTS of the Shore Road section of Bay Ridge have M complained recently that their chickens had been stolen. The local police have tried in vain to locate the culprit, pecially afler one citizen reported that every chicken is his coop had disap- peared. Last night, about 11.50 o'clock, a little distance from a police booth, the officer, two deputies and I saw a police dog cutting ac lots with a white fowl clutched in his jaws. Neither he nor the bird, which probably was dead, made a sound. We chase, but the dog got away. 7 wid: “TH get him to-morrow night, for he'll be back agaip. So that's the thief!" he exclaimed. “And him faithfully trained to catch thieves!” We all laughed over our mis- placed confidence and a few minutes later were talking of the trap we would set for the dog oh the following night when, suddenly, we saw bim again, He was taking the same short cut, but he stopped occasionally to look at the police booth. He was undoubtedly after another chicken. We gave chase and were closing in on him, but be got away again. Now, no one knows what to-morrow night may bring forth. We may have to set a bear trap for him, but we have solved the chicken thieving mystery of Bay Ridge.—Richard J.

To-day I had charge of a study period and the pupils, who ordinarily pay no attention to the workmen's noise, seemed restless. 1 saw expressions of anxiety and alarm in several faces and saw their gaze directed toward a man who was painting a sign over the gymnasium door. Just then a boy raised bis hand and asked permission to speak to the painter. I consented and, as the painter turned from his work to listen to what the boy had to’say, I saw outlined in crayon the words: “PHYCICAL TRAIN- ING.” The first three letters already had been painted in red, but the boy had stopped the painter before he attempted the erroneous “C” aud cqurteously corrected his mistake.
