Those Chickens.

L
blessed with ample means, and en-.
lowed with love for the curious
He is sort Of a chicken fancier, and
has been known to stand for hours in
the sun to watch chicken fight, and
to have the benefit Of this interesting
pastime at home, he sent to New
York and purchased six chickens
which cost him quite large sum OF
money. In due course of time the
hens commenced laying eggs. This
was the commencement of the trou,
BILE. A ncighbor who also had a
special love for fancy fowls heard Of
this fancy lot of chickens, and being
the owner of lot of the common
breed concluded to beg,borrow or buy
a lot of eggs, from which he expect
ed to raise lot of fine fowls himself.
The owner of the eggs would not give
them away. loan or sell them, but did
let him have thirteen eggs, the pro-
duct of which were to be raised on
the shares, each party to have half al
lowing one for accidents. The neigh
Dor received the eggs and in the regu-
lar time they Matched out and thirteen
Thoroughbred chicks as handsome as
they could be were running around
answering to the call of their plebeian
mother.
A neighbor living close by had a
cat of the masculine gender, and that
cat loved thoroughbred chickens.
That fact was observed the first day
after the little strangers made their
appearance. One of the chicks dis
appeared and the rats got the credit of
the murder. Atsupper time another
had disappeared and as no one could
account for its disappearance, lamenta-
tons were loud. The next morning
another had disappeared and the
neighbors cat was caught with it. II
was then that the anger of the chicken
fancier got the better Of him and the
doom of that cat was sealed. To make
matters sure and not to make too much
noise he concluded to poison the cat
and with that purpose in view he pur-
chased some poison and hired a boy
to feed it to the feline cannibal nicely
disguised in milk. The boy went to
sleep, the cat got another chick and .
pet dog got the poison, and died in 9
few hours in great agony. He was
buried with all the pomp and ccre-
mony necessary, by the children, and
in the mean time another chicken was
found dead with its throat cut.
The matter was becomming seriou!
and he invested in double barrelet
shot gun and laid for that cat. HI
waited until midnight in the rain ani
shot neighbors dog by mistake and
retired to bed in the morning with s
cold in his head and the seventh
chicken disappeared. He got hot
He made a business of hunting cats
but in the mean time the owner of til,
eggs from which the chickens wer'
Matched, claimed the remaining ST,
chickens for his own and the man wa
in honor bound to surrender them
The next night the cats had CAM
meeting in his back yard and before
morning he succeeded in getting two
fair shots at the fellow who did tn,
mischief without hitting him, but tn
next night he killed six. Now Their
is not cat or a chicken IN that block
and our friend has gone out Of tn
fancy chicken business.

Miss FGrnoy's Washington Letter to the
Press
Prominent among the brilliant
Monday evening receptions was the
one given by the japanese minister,
assisted by his wife, Madame Yo-
shida. Quite a considerable amount
Of curiosity was aroused, not only to
see their new house, into which
they had just moved, but also to
observe their manner Of entertain
ing. Idle curiosity, however, was
for once unqualified, for everything
was arranged and passed off in the
usual stereotype manner of fashion,
able receptions, The halls and sa-
Ions were upholstered and furnished
in the Oriental style, and in the
upper chamber the bed and pillow
spreads we're miracles of japanese
ingenuity, such as would have
won the soul of some seeker of
curiosities a few years ago, but
which have lately been so univer-
sally copied that they have ceased
to be novelties. Madame Yoshida
herself, who is, by the way, thought
to be a beauty among her own peo-
pie, and who possesses a really
pretty pair of eyes and clear COM
plexion, is petite in stature, quite
young, and speaks English In Il
pretty, hesitating way that is quite
charming. She was dressed ex-
tremely well, in the palest shade Of
green silk, deliberately trimmed
with duchesse lace and sprays Of
flowers, and in her hair she wore an
exquisite amber bird her tiny feet
were encased in neat satin slippers.
1t is said that in the summer, when
the windows were thrown open.
this little lady might be seen almost
any afternoon sitting at one Of her
upper windows playing upon an
odd-looking instrument and sing
ing in a rather sweet voice songs
that struck the passer by as weird,
tinged with a strain Of home-siek
melody.

The bill provides that purchasers Of
railroads under mortgage sales shall
have the power to operate the road and
be entitled to all the privileges and
franchises of the original incorporators,
except that nothing in the bill is to be
construed so as to exempt these railroads
from State, county or municipal taxation.
There has been, and is now, q diversity
of opinion among the legal profession

their right to exemption from tax.
