TUMBLES 160 FEET
“Nine-Lives Dutchie” Has Re
markably Long Fall.
Didn’t Go to St. Gregory’s Hospital on
Account of His Injuries, but to
Wait for a Second Pair
of Trousers.
New York. —Fellow workmen in the
painting trade call Evan Shermon who
Is 50 years old, and lives at No. 200
West One Hundred and Twenty-first
street, “Nine-Lives Dutchie,” and his
old schoolmates dubbed him “Kitty,
the Human Cat,” both sobriquets hav
ing to do with Shermon’s ability to fall
from heights varying from 10 to 100
feet without hurting himself. He him
self estimates that he has had about
100 falls. But he shows himself with
out a scratch and is sure that he isn’t
going to die that way.
He fell eight stories from the
Scott & Browne building, near the
Brooklyn bridge, about 160 feet. But
he was still the “Human Cat” of
youth, for he landed on the flag
stones on his feet. And it wasn’t
because of injuries that he went to
St. Gregory’s hospital. His trou
sers were torn and he went to the
hospital to wait till another pair was
sent to him. His knees were somewhat
bruised and one hand lacerated.
He was standing on the outer sill
of a window in the eighth story when
he slipped and pitched out into the
air. Cries of horror arose from those
who saw him from the street and
they turned their heads away to avoid
the sight of seeing the man killed. But
“Nine-Lives Dutchie” saw on his way
down some telegraph wires and he
grabbed for one. He caught it, but his
weight tore the wire from his grasp.
However, this act broke his fall. He
landed on his feet and sank to his
knees. For a little while he was stun
ned, but when the ambulance got
there he was sitting up.

ROOSTER MOTHERS 27 CHICKS
When Hen Elopes With Neighbor
Black Minorca Cockerel Takes Up
Task of Scratching.
Oakland, Cal. —Deserted by bls wife,
who eloped with a neighbor, Henry,
who makes his home with Walter E.
Logan in a suburb of this city, has
become both mother and father to his
family of twenty-seven children.
Henry is a Black Minorca rooster.
When Martha, his spouse, hatched out
twenty-seven fuzzy chicks Henry was
the proudest rooster in Piedmont. But
Martha soon became enamored of a
neighbor’s Plymouth Rock, deserted
her brood and moved Into the neigh
bor’s coop.
Henry moped for a few days, but
the peeps of his hungry family made
him forget his own sorrows. He be
came a different rooster.
Daily he scratches for worms and
stands guard over his brood, fighting
off adult chickens which would rob his
family of its food. When bedtime
comes Henry escorts his brood to a
warm moss-filled box, climbs in him
self and cuddles his family.
Cork Leg Nearly Fatal.
Lynn, Mass. —William Green’s cork
leg came near being the death of him.
Greene got beyond his depth while
bathing and his artificial limb was so
buoyant his feet flew into the air and
his head was forced under water. He
was saved by a college girl who was
out boating with a young man. She
seized Greene by his hair and held his
head out of water while her escort
rowed to shore with Greene dragging
behind the boat.
remember," said Shermon. "I start
ed by falling out of my high chair.
When I was a boy the other boys
called me “Kitty, the Human Cat.” I
was always climbing up somewhere
and falling a good part of the time. I
have fallen out of fruit trees about
25 times, I guess. I have toppled off
barns and out of the haylofts about 20
times, too. I’ve fallen off fences about
30 times, off boats, six, and bicycles

“Only two weeks ago I tumbled off
the fourth story of a building and I
wasn’t a bit hurt. I’ve had so much
practice that I’ve kind of got a knack
of falling on my feet like the pussy
cats do.”
The human tumble-bug said that dur
ing his fall he had his faculties with
him all the way.
“When I started to shoot down, I
kind of got a hunch that my good luck
in the past wasn’t going to desert me,”
Shermon explained. “But this was sure
the biggest fall I ever got You bet my
brain was working fast.”
The Duchess Was Humorous.
Paris. —A charming anecdote is go
ing the rounds of Paris concerning a
duchess well known in Parisian soci
ety for her charity. An old beggar
whom the procession of vehicles going
to the Grand Prix had attracted to the
Champs-Elysees was given a franc by
a passer-by. The old man, while test
ing the coin on the pavement, saw it
disappear under the railings of a gar
den. He rang the bell and begged the
footman who opened the door to look
for the franc. The footman went away
and, coming back after a little while,
said: “Your franc has not been found.”
Blank dismay overclouded the beg
gar’s face, until the footman added:
“But this has been found," and hand
ed the beggar a 20-franc piece. While
the beggar cheerfully went on his way
the charitable duchess, who had been
sitting all the time within her garden,
smiled at the success of her little
joke.
ODD COLONY IN ASIA MINOR
Language and Customs of 350 Years
Ago Still Preserved by Self-Exiled
Russian Cossacks.
Constantinople.—One of those curi
ous instances of quaint historical sur
vival, of which many occur in Asia
Minor, has lately come before official
Russian attention in Constantinople.
It is the case of a colony of about
3,000 Russian Cossacks settled in
Anatolia, Asia Minor. The forefa
thers of these Cossacks left Russia for
voluntary exile 350 years ago. Their
departure was occasioned by an at
tempt to enroll their names for cen
sus purposes in writing. According to
the creed of these peasants, the writ
ing down of their names jeopardizes
their chance for salvation for It in
valves the curse of Antichrist, en
abling him to set his seal upon them.
During the while cf this time the
Cossacks have kept their identity ab
solutely intact. They speak a Rus
sian dialect bearing the same relation
to the language of the present day as
does our modern English to that of
Chaucer. They wear the Russian dross
of three centuries ago, and even grow
herbs, uncultivated elsewhere In An
atolia, to make the dishes that were
the food of the mediaeval Russian.
A few months ago this little band of
Russian exiles found themselves sud
denly faced by the same danger that
threatened their ancestors In the six
teenth century. The Turkish govern
ment, having to call upon Its Christian
subjects for military service, demand
ed the enrollment of those men of the
community who were of age, and again
COW’S HABIT LAW QUESTION
Cleveland Justice of the Peace Is
Called on to Decide Why Yield of
Milk Suddenly Dropped.
Cleveland, O. —If a man sells an
other man a cow with a guaranty that
she will produce four gallons of milk
a day and the cow declines, after the
deal is completed, to supply more than
two gallons a day, is the cow or the
original owner to biame? The ques
tion was given to C. J. Gavin, justice
of the peace, to answer.
A. Schaffer, who conducts a busi
ness at 2262 Larimer street, bought
from M. Katchen and B. Bong the cow
which caused the suit. Schaffer paid
JIOO for her. He charges in his suit
to recover the price of the cow that
the defendants guaranteed she would
yield four gallons of milk per day. In
stead he had obtained only half that
amount. The cow, therefore, was
worth only half of the price paid.
The defense told the court that the
cow was ready, willing and capable of
maintaining the contract capacity, but
that she had not been given sufficient
food. Besides the plaintiff allowed
the cow to walk around too much.
Quiet is essential for a cow which
is expected to furnish sufficient milk
and butter for a dairy. Under the
circumstances, the defense said, it
was the plaintiff, and not the cow,
who had defaulted on the contract.
The plaintiff offered to allow Justice
Gavin to milk the cow for one day, to
see if he was telling the truth. The
justice was willing to take the man’s
word for it. He rendered a decision
in favor of the defendants and said
that the defendants were not respon
sible for the failure of the cow to fur
nish the four gallons of milk.
Birds Carry Disease.
Baltimore. —Dr. Francis W. Har
ley, who has made experiments with
pigeons whose throats are diseased, is
convinced that birds can spread dis
ease. His wife sat in a hammock sev
eral feet from their coop, and two
days later contracted diphtheria from
which she is now recovering. One of
the pigeons was examined by the
health department, which reports it
has diphtheria.
they were in danger of the seal of An
tichrist.
This time a split occurred among the
exiles. The young men urged that,
since they could not avoid enrollment,
it were best to serve in Russia among
their kindred, but the older members
were in favor of remaining. The arbi
tration of the Russian consul at Con
stantinople was invoked, and through
his agency funds were obtained from
the Russian government to enable
those who wished to do so to return
to Russia, leaving the rest to live on a
tiny ethnological island among the
races of Anatolia.
Skeleton 4,900 Years Old.
St. Petersburg.—A stone coffin con

of a period at least 3000 B. C., when
the Aland Isles were submerged, the
coffin and its contents having been low

INDIGNANT AT THE INJUSTICE
Scholars Would Not Stand to See
Much-Loved Teacher Not Get-
The following Incident told of a pub
lic school teacher of cheery manner
and marked ability, noted for her suc
cess in leading backward or unwilling
pupils along the rocky road to knowl
edge.
In laboring with an especially try
ing class she was wont to encourage
the members by such confident re
marks as “Os course we can do it I”
“Os course we can learn this lesson as
well as other people, if we try!" As
examination time drew near and the
little ones became more nervous, she ,
changed her tune to “Os course we’re
going to pass! ” The children did pass,
duly, but, natural pleasure in the un
expected success having evaporated,
were sulky and disagreeable almost be
yond belief. It took their new teacher
a long time to get at the root of the
misunderstanding, over which they
whispered in comers and because of
which they treated her like a bitter
enemy. At last, however, she drew
from the most pliable youngster this
indignant, tearful admission:
“We ain’t a-goin’ ter study no more
in this darned ole school. Here, we
came up from Miss Blank’s room, an’
she stays down there all alone, when
she knows so much more than we do.
It’s a plumb shame that they didn’t
let her pass, too!”
