Missing CHICKEN.-Officer Farren, on
day duty at the station-h house, is in a guam
Diary. He dislikes to acknowledge lack
Of confidence in the integrity of the force
and yet he knows that he has had his prop
erty appropriated by some one about the
station-house-said property being young
rooster, given him a few days ago, and
kept by him in the Jail yard, undergoing
q fattcning process preparatory for some
Joyous day when his owner intended to
make his interior combination jubilant
over fried chicken Possibly the fowl
might not have disappeared if officer Far
rem had not dilated to the extent he did
upon the excellence of such an article of
diet. AT all events the fowl is missing,
and Farren, in his trouble, has interviewed
everybody with the query, Chicken
chicken who's got the chicken?" Officer
Arlington is the only member of the force
who has given even grain of comfort.
He announces that he has a clue and is on
the track of yellow legs; but Farren
doesn't feel much better in consequence,
because Arlington has a large appetite, es-
pecial!y calculated for barn-yard products.
