WNESIIW FOUND
Gives Police Money He Picked Up
in Gutter in New York.
Israel Neboschlk, the "Lucky” Finder,
Will Send Happy Girl's Reward
to Poor Old Woman In
Old Country,
New York. —Israel Neboschlk, who
sells men's clothing at 163 Rivington
street, made a great find in front of
his shop. From the gutter he picked
up an envelope containing S2OO in
bills. To find such a fortune knocking
about in the gutter in Rivington street
is no every-day occurrence. What Is
rael did with it was more unusual
still. He took the money and en
velope to the Delancey street police
station.
Lieutenant Brady and the detective
of the station found their faith in hu
manity Increase when Neboschlk told
them that he had found the money;
that he had thought some poor woman
might have lost it—the savings of
years—and he wanted to leave It for
the owner. Lieutenant Brady thought
that he had made the discovery on
which Diogenes had wasted his life,
and he said as much.
Up in the Bronx lives Miss Molly
Brambiar. She works in a costume es
tablishment in West Twenty-ninth
street. It is part of her work to get
the money from the bank to pay off
the girls for the week. Now if Miss
Brambiar had gone to the bank, got
that money and brought it back to the
shop in Twenty-seventh street, there
most likely would have been no en
velope kicking around In the gutter In
Rivington street and nobody outside
of his few friends would have known
what a square man Neboschlk really Is.
But Molly didn’t go herself, whether
it was too hot or whether she had
something better to do, it doesn’t mat
ter. She sent one of the new errand
girls for it. The new girl went to the
bank, got the money and put it in
an envelope and started back toward
the shop in Twenty-seventh street.
But when she got there, the envelope
was gone. And all the scolding of the
boss and all Molly’s crying couldn’t
get it back. Nobody had the faintest
hope that anybody as square as Neb
oschik would find it.
Molly Brambiar read in the paper
about the finding of S2OO in Rivington
street and she knew right away that it
must be the money belonging to her
shop. She rushed for the subway as
fast as she could and then to the
Delancey street station. The envelope
had been sent to old headquarters at
300 Mulberry street, so she had to go
there to claim it. With the money
safe in her possession and a feeling
of relief in her heart she started out
to find Neboschlk.
He was in his shop selling celluloid
-collars to a customer.
“Mr. Neboschlk,” she said, “I think

a corps of scientific men on board the
vessel made an expedition down the
southern coast of California, round
the peninsula and back to San Fran

made empty handed, for treasures and
curios of the sea came back with
them.
The party, in addition to the chief,

world. You must take a reward."
Neboschlk said he did not want any
reward. “If you want to buy some
thing—well, all right,” he said.
Molly looked over the stock, but
found nothing that seemed quite
enough, as a mere purchase, to pay
Neboschlk all she thought she owed
him. So she said:
“Mr. Neboschlk, it Is late and I
must be getting to work. I am going
to leave this for you. You must take
it.”
She laid a five-dollar bill on the
counter. Then she went back to the
store in West Twenty-seventh street,
where the boss promptly forgave her
for not getting the money herself in

DISCOVERS A NEW DYESTUFF
Prof. Hodgson Gives Bradford City
Council an Asset Said to Be of
Great Commercial Value.
London.—The Bradford City council
is in the enviable position of being
the owner of a new process of dyeing,
which is expected to be of the great
est commercial value.
Three years ago the Bradford Tech
nical college appointed Dr. H. H.
Hodgson as lecturer on chemistry,
with the specific duty of carrying on
investigations in applied chemistry
which should keep Bradford as an
industrial community abreast of mod
ern developments.
Prof. Hodgson is understood to have
discovered a new dyestuff, which has
been provisionally protected under the
patent laws and meanwhile the city
council has been called upon to decide
what shall be done with the new mu
nicipal asset.
Three suggestions have been made.
One Is to sell the patent rights out
right, another is to have the discov
ery worked on a royalty principle,
and the third is that It be worked di
rectly by the corporation. The last
named suggestion has been declared
impracticable. A sub-committee, com
posed of men prominently connected
with Bradford trade, has been ap
pointed, with power to deal with the
matter.
Having regard to the financial and
commercial importance of precious
discoveries, such as aniline dyes,
Bradford ratepayers are looking for
ward with eager Interest to further
developments.
Prof. Hodgson was a poor scholar at
a Bradford elementary school, and
won a scholarship which took him
to the secondary school, and 'thence
to Cambridge university.

get it back and all so surprised at
what had happened, they were even
ready to forgive the new errand girl
who had lost it.
“What are you going to do with it,
Israel?” asked Morris Socoloff, who
has a pushcart near Neboschik’s store.
"Keep it?"
"No,” said Israel. “I think I do not
keep it. I think I know pretty well
what to do with it. There is an old
countrywoman of mine, back in the
old country. She has a husband who
is no good and he sends her no money
at all. I think I just send it to her.
You like that?” ,
“It would make one fine present all

PREFERS HIS “KID” BROTHER
Maid of 35 Throws Over "Octo” for a
“Septua”—Rejected Suitor Quits
His Old Haunts.
New York. —Courted by two broth
ers, both widowers, one 76 years old,
the other 83, Miss Ella Kissam of
Halesite, L. 1., has chosen the young
er, and in a few days, it is announced,
she will become the bride of Capt.
Charles E. Sammis of Huntington. A
license has been issued by Stanton E.
Sammis, town clerk of Huntington.
The rejected suitor, Rinaldo Sam
mis, is so downcast, it is said, that he
has quit his ancient haunts on the
north shore and has retired to the
umbrageous seclusion of Freehold,
N. J.
Miss Kissam is only 35 and a pros
pective heiress. She was long sought
by eligible bachelors and widowers
even younger than herself, but her
heart soon inclined to the two Sam
misses. When the grizzled skipper
and his brother visited the Kissams
several months ago at their winter
hame in Morehead City, N. C„ it was
known to their friends the brothers
would not return north until one had
won the hand of Miss Ella.
Though the captain Is fairly well to
do, Rinaldo has more money. Land he
owned was bought in a suburban real
estate “boom.” His cornfields have
been cut into building lots, aid
friends refer to him as the “farmer
millionaire.”
Oscar Kissam, father of the bride
to-be, was called “the dynamite boss”
of Long Island because of his exten
sive operations as a contractor. When
the two Sammises went to Morehead
City they were the best of friends,
and they bantered each other on their
expectation. But when they came back
to the north and Rinaldo heard the
news from the captain, it is said the
loser left the train at the first stop
ping place and waited for another
one.
The captain’s friends at Huntington
are getting ready to serenade him.

FRESH WATER FOR POULTRY
Simple Wholesome Arrangement I*
Shown in Illustration, Insuring
Clean Drinking Vessel.
One of the difficult problems for the
poultrymen to solve is how to easily
provide pure, fresh water for his
fowls. Many patent fountains which
are on the market are automatic and
keep before the fowls a certain quan
tity. Under certain conditions these
fountains serve an admirable purpose.
Under more adverse conditions many
of these patent contrivances fail to
give satisfaction fdr the simple reason
that It is impossible to keep them
clean.
If fowl were fed only whole grain
and the weather was always cool, it
would be a comparatively easy mat
ter to provide satisfactory automatic
drinking fountains, but as soft food
forms a considerable portion of the
diet for laying hens and fattening
fowls, these fountains are necessarily
more or less fouled and in warm
weather soon become unfit for use
as drinking fountains on account of
the tainted water and disagreeable
odor.
A simple wholesome arrangement
may be made as follows: Place an
ordinary milk pan on a block or shal
low box, the top of which shall be
four or five Inches from the floor. The
water or milk to be drunk by the
fowl Is to be placed in this pan.
Over the pan ta placed a board
cover supported on pieces of lath
about eight inches long, nailed to the
cover so that they are about two
Inches apart, the lower ends resting
upon the box which forms the sup
port of the pan.
In order to drink from the pan it
will be necessary for the fowls to in-

sert their heads between these strips
of lath. The cover over the pan and
the strips of lath at the sides pre
vent the fowl from fouling the water
in any manner, except in the act of
drinking.
Where drinking pans of this kind
are used, It is very easy to cleanse
and scald them with hot water as
occasion demands.
This arrangement can be carried a
little further by placing a pan, or
what would be still better, a long,
narrow dish, something like a tin
bread tray, on a low shelf a few
inches from the floor, and hinging the
cover to one side of the poultry
house so that It can be tipped up in
front for the removal of the dish or
for filling it with water. Whatever
device is used, it must be easily
cleaned and of free access to the
fowls gt all times.
EASY TO CAPTURE CHICKENS
Long-Handled Net, Made Out of Old
Hammock, Does Away With Chas

Who has not seen the farmer, his
wife, the hired man, and one or more
children engaged in the exciting chase
for the chicken which is to be served
for the family dinner? All around the
yard, over the fence, under the barn,
through the garden, until somebody
luckily falls upon it. An easier way
is to make a long-handled net, using
a sound, well made barrel hoop. An

old hammock makes a fine net for
this purpose. The net should be about
two feet deep. Lay it down, mouth
up, put a few grains of corn on top,
pretend you are looking the other
way, and when a chicken steps on
the net to pick up the corn lift it
suddenly, tip it slightly to one side,
and you have the fowl safe. If yoti
are particularly expert, the net may
be dropped down over the bird.
Handling Ducks and Geese.
Always handle ducks and geese by
their necks and never by the legs, as
fowls are handled, for these limbs are
not strong enough to serve as han

“Where one earth do these flies

These should be tightly closed in fly

“She had gastritis, headaches, belch
