A citizen of Rumford had canvassed the
town I'm vain from end TO end in search Of
"a hen TO set when no heard that an old
darky on the Boston, Providence and
Newport road had n great deal of setting
stock" As this was just what he wanted,
he lost no time In hunting him up. He
found the old man building a hencoop in
the rear OF his residence. Approaching, he
asked by way of broaching the subject how
many hens he had sitting
''Three hens and rooster, boss"
And which, inquired the poultry
man, thinking he had not heard straight.
:" A rooster" replied the darky.
Seeing the look of distrust on his visit
or's face he took him into low building,
and sure enough there sat a large Brahma
rooster calmly covering 90 eggs. On one
side Of him sat two hens, and on the other
a third hen. The visitor, seeing how state
ly the rooster sat, secretly resolved to get
some OF the darky's eggs and hatch out a
special lot of ROSTERS. On being asked
what he did when the rooster wouldn't sit
any longer, the darky replied that dat ar
rooster done bound to set" pointing un-
derneath the box.
Looking under the box the visitor was
surprised to find both of the ROSTERS legs
sticking through holes In the box. The
black rascal had actually bored holes
through the box and tied the ROSTERS legs
underneath, so, rs he said, the rooster was
'done bound to set
Inquiring into the matter, the Rumford
man found that the darky had four hens
and one rooster. Three Of the hens were
sitting, and the other hen was laying. The
darky, finding the eggs of the hen accu-
mulating quite fast, decided to let up feed
ing the rooster corn and make him hatch
flock Of chickens. Providence Journal.

Vigilant Away Ahead.

The Vigilant consequently won by eight
minutes, twelve seconds, without count
ing the time allowance of two minutes,
twenty seconds, which she allows to the
Britannia. Deducting this, the vigilant
won by five minutes, fifty seconds.
The American yacht allowed the Bri-
tannia more time today because the course
was longer, namely 55 miles, against AZ
miles sailed over in the race Saturday.

AS the two leading yachts entered Tot
land Bay the wind, which had latterly
been softening, failed altogether and,
to the amazement of the sight
seers ashore, the Britannia slowly
crept up to the vigilant, whose sails were
tapping idly. For some time after there
was hardly enough way on the two
yachts to keep their heads straight,
and at 3:16 p. m. they were still
becalmed and what promised to be an ex-
citing contest deteriorsted into mere
drifting. Great disappointment was felt
at the club houses, where bulletins were
eagerly scanned by the yachtsmen.
The breeze from Yarmouth to Cowes,
which early In the day had been blowing
strongly, deadened almost entirely and
with the ebb tide to contend against,
the finish OF the race promised TO
be tedious and unsatisfactory, but happily
the wind slightly freshened later.

Nevada

On New Years Day the Salt Lake
Tribune issued a 24-page paper, and
in that great paper we find the follow
ing mention of Nevada. OF course
it is from the pen of Judge G. C..
Goodwin: The last has been tough
year on Nevada. Some little relief
has come from the mines, but the
State is crippled shamefully. Her
transportation facilities kept her
from prosperity when silver was a
fair price, and now businessi is almost
in collapse there. Still they ere
making many gold discoveries IN
southern Nevada and there is q hope
in the hearts of Nevada men that in
the next few months railroad will
come stealing in from the west, which
will make it possible to utilizethe mines
in all southern Nevada and partially
restore the old prosperity which made
the State, for series of years, little
wonder of the world The Tribune
sends all-hails and happy New Years
TO the brave people there, and bids
them hope on. The world will try
pretty soon to increase its money sup
ply. When il does, there is only one
material out OF which that supply can
'beobtained, and when that time comes
Nevada will rise from the depression
which is upon her now, and she will
be again what she was twenty years
ago, the leading ming State Of this
Republic.
