THE STRUGGLE FOR WEALTH.

Money o Potential Factor In Most Of tho

What is the most active factor of evil
in this country at the present time2 It
is not drunkenness, nor Ncenticusness,
nor infidelity. It is not bad politics, and
1t is not any thing that Is disreputable
and under the ban. It Is simply the pre-
vailing craze for wealth, and nothing
else. From childhood to old age the aver
age man thinks Of nothing but money
getting. Everybody Is impatient to
make fortune In hurry. Naturally
people take what Sam Jones calls the

and long retain o conscience and good
principles.

AN INTELLIGENT ROOSTER.
He Il Deaf and Dumb, But 10 Able D
Take His Own Part.

He II Deaf and Durhb, But Il Able 10
Take HIS Own Part.
A gentleman living on the outskirts
OF the city, near Black Rock, owns
curiosity the like Of which Barnum
never dreamed Of, says the Buffalo
IN. W Express. 1t is deaf-and-dumb
rooster - a full-grown, brilliantly
plumed, brown Leghorn chanticleer
= that has lost his voice, can
neither crow nor cluclx, nor mako
any other audible sound with his vocal
apparatus; does not wake up the neigh
borhood at five o'clock in the morning
with an everlasting cock-a-doodle-doo;
does not give an alarm Of hawks every
time black cloud crosses the sun, but
Is still as much the lord Of the chicken
park as ever.
He has not always been. thus. UP to
the time he was eight months old he
was es noisy as any young rooster need
be. Then he got his head caught In @
barbed-wire fence In such way as to
mangle his neck and probably tear out
the vocal cords Losing. the power TO
make sounds, he evidently forgot how
to hear them. At least now, at the age
Of three years, he gives no evidence OF
hearing. But he makes his eyes an
swer for ears and voice, too. II any one
wanted proof that he was really deaf
and dumb, those eyes would be convinc-
ing. There is nothing he does not see.
When the frst glow OF sunrise appears
he begins the duties Of the day by rous-
ing all the rest of the fowls In the hem
merry In his own original way. He walks
around to each one, and kicks Il of It's
perch. There Is no resisting such an in
vitation to get up. It's much more ef-
fective than growing. When he gets q
challenge to fight he does not stop to
announce what he con do. He goes and
does It. And his battles are all victor
ious.
The most remarkable thing about
this intelligent bird, however, Is the
fact that, though deaf, be can dis
tinguish between an admonition to
"shoo" and request to, come to dinner.
How he does 1t is mystery, but 1t Is
believed that he tells by the motions Of
the lips and general attitude Of the per-
son who addresses him.
A course of instruction In Q deat-and-
dumb institute is all this rooster needs
to learn to talk with his spurs.
