San Francisco, March 15.— Careful
ly cut from its place in the great frame
that held it, while a score o f persons
wandered about admiring the other
works o f art, Jean Francois M illet’ s
famous painting, “ The Shepherd and
F lock,” valued at $10,000, was stolen
from the art museum in Golden Gate
park this morning about 10:15 o ’ clock.
No one saw the daring thief remove
the world-renowned canvas. The police
are without the slightest clew in the
case.
Great excitement prevailed when it
became known that the masterpiece
had been carried away. The news was
telephoned to all local clubs and the
theft was the topic o f conversation in
cafes and the places o f amusement dur
ing the day.
The painting is the property o f Miss
Sarah M. Spooner, o f this city, who is
now traveling Europe.
It was pur
chased by her from T. D. Trimon, o f
the Rue La Fayette, Paris.
The can
vas is 21 inches by 17 inches.
Two other paintings o f equal value
were loaned to the art museum by Miss
Spooner
when “ The Shepherd and
F lock” was hung. They are Dupre’ s
“ T w iligh t” and a landscape by Charles
Daubigny.
The police are
undecided as to
whether the th eft o f the painting is an
act o f vandalism or the result o f a
well-laid plan to steal the remarkable
Millet work and place it upon the mar
ket again at some future time through
the medium o f a European “ fen ce.”

Ottawa, Ont., March 15.— A t the
village o f Buckingham* on the Quebec
side o f the Ottawa river, a few miles
from this city, is a horse, i f such it
can be called, that is ordy a third part
horse, the other two parts being divid
ed equally between a cow and a deer.
As a freak the animal probably has
no equal. The normal parts are its
head, eyes, teeth and one hind leg. Its
back bone is not in the center, but runs
along the side o f its back. One side
o f the stomach is that o f a deer, per
fectly formed, with the fine, close-set-
in ribs, and the delicately curved body.
The other side resembles that o f a cow,
very full, with big, rough ribs and the
hide much rougher than on the other
side.
On one o f its front legs there pro
trudes a twin horn which measures
four feet and 11. inches from the tip to
the base, turning up at the point and
weighing about 25 pounds. The hind
leg on the left side is put on back
wards, so to speak, all the muscles o f
the leg are on the inside and the hoof
points backwards.

In England the early Methodist
preacher, when away from home, was
expected to get hla food from his con
gregation, and when at home was al
lowed 36 cents a day, with the stipu
lation that the acceptance of an Invi
tation to dine led to a due deduction.
His wife was allowed 96 cents a week,
with a further concession of five dol
lars a quarter for each child. At the
Bristol conference of 1752. however, a
definite salary was fixed. For the fu
ture the preacher was able to call $60
a year his very own.
