ABSOLUTELY PURE
CRIPPLED TURKEYS.
Provided with Clutches By = California
Poultry Raiser

Provided with Clutches By q California
Poultry Raiser.
Captain Bridge, of Shasta county.
Cal. who has an extensive reputation
in that district as a cultivator of
high-class poultry. has developed a
very philanthropic spirit toward his
wards.
Recently he noticed a peculiar dis
ease spreading among the turkeys.
1t exhibited itself by a gradual
swelling in the legs from the thigh,
or the time-honored and mueh-re
spected drum stick" so popular
among youngsters about Thanlzsgiv-
ing time. 1t spread down the legs,
and IN a few days the turkey unfor-
tunate enough to be Afaicted was I'M
able to walk with that proud, naughty
step SO frequently employed by this
royal bird.
The captain found that by regular
hot water applications the swelling
could be reduced, but this manner of
treating was so slow that the patient
was compelled to lead life of idle
ness, much to his disgust. At times
the captain would have several of his
fattest birds in the hospital, and it
required almost all his attention to
give them the hot water treatment.
This state of affairs went on for some
time, when finally he was inspired to
introduce a little Yankee ingenuity
into the flock, and being rather handy
with his poclxet-knife. he fashioned a
crude pair of crutches about seven
inches in length and secured them
under the turkeys wings They
were just a fraction longer than the
birds legs and every time the rheu-
matte would take step forward the
crutches would be brought into play.
and progress, instead of being torture,
was pleasure.
In few hours the cripples became
familiar with the new order Of things
and were able to hobble around at
more rapid gait.
Almost any time during damp
weather, when the rhe umatism is on,
one can see half dozen turkeys on
crutches at Captain Bridges farm.
They are learning some new tricks Of
late, but. so far, are not sufficiently
expert to fly up and light upon the
fence.

Civil Service to Be Extended to Chiefs of
- Divisions.
WASHINGTON, Nov 6.=The intimation
given by the civil service commission in
announcing the recent extensions in the
civil service by the president that
further extensions was to be made
at an early date has been
discussed in the departments and
among officials who know and it is said
the next extension will include chiefs Of
divisions in the various departments
which would be very important move.
The salaries paid to these officers are
$4,000 each. They have always been
held as political plums for the smaller
politicians who seek Office in Washing
ton and it is claimed that often times
they are appointed without any fitness
whatever for the positions they hold
In many cases the assistant chiefs do
all the business of division during an
entire administration. Some times il has
been suggested that these assistants be
promoted but they generally decline be-
cause they fear a new administration
might dispense with them and they would
be out of a position.
If the civil service system should be
extended to chiefs of divisions It will
certainly be of great importance to the
service and accomplish what the com
mission has long commended for
