camps, and of other troops. At the
outer edge of the camp, hard by the
water hole, sat a group of cavalrymen,
gay, light-hearted fellows, laughing
heartily over the yarns that Sergt. Jack
Kelly had been spinning.
The sentry on his rounds stopped at
the group, for Phil Manning, yarn

A Chickens Intricate Food.

''The mechanism of the leg and foot
of chicken or other bird that roosts
is marvel of design" said well
known taxidermist recently. SIT often
seems strange that bird will sit on
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation is simple.
The tendon of leg of a bird that
roosts is so arranged that when the
leg is bent at the knee the claws are
bound to contract and thus hold with
a sort of death grip the limb around
which they are placed. Put chickens
feet on your wrist and then make the
bird sit down and you will have a
practical illustration on your skin that
YOU will remember for some time. By
this singular arrangement, seen only
in such birds as roost, they will rest
comfortably and never think of hold
ing on, for it is impossible for them tc
let go until they stand up.-Kansas
