A MAN-OF-WAR ROOSTER.

His Encounter with the Proud Rooster
That He Saw in the Brass ventilator.
Who would think that rooster
could become a great pet on board
ship? But on the flagship Chicago,
the man of-war which last spring
travelled almost 5000 miles to get
home for the Columbian naval pa
rade, there was rooster that was
the pet of the men on board ship.
He was bought in the West Indies,
on the way to Montevideo, and was
intended for the Christmas dinner;
but his great cheerfulness as shown
by his hearty Growing in the most
unreasonable weather won him his
life.
After his liberty had been given to
him and he had become fairly tame
he noticed one day another very proud
rooster in polished brass ventilator
which stands on the quarterback.
He Immediately put on his proudest
air: then. noticing that the other
rooster did the same, he stepped
closer to inquire, and soon found
himself glaring pugnaciously at the
other fellow, who seemed quite as
defiant as himself. From looks it
came to blows, and soon our rooster
was Indignantly fighting his own re-
Election. Occasionally he would strike
the ventilator a hard blow with his
bill and be thrown back much aston
ished, only to return to the attack
when he noticed that his enemy ap-
parently retreated.
This was kept up at intervals for
several weeks, until the rooster
learne ed that more hard knocks than
glory were to be got by keeping up
the feud. Even now, after many
months ON board, he occasionally re-
news the attack, but in half-heart-
ed way, as if he knew he was doing
something silly.
His name is Dick, and when there
is food ahead he answers to it like a
gentleman. At Ensenada, in the Ar
gentine Republic. the Chicago lay
along side the dock in the Grand Canal
and Dick was allowed to run on
shore and pick up what he could find.
He never strayed far from the gang
way, and would come proudly strut
ting back when called on board by
one of the men.
He is very pugnacious bird, and
in Ensenada started fight between
dog and himself The combat, wit
messed by the whole ships company,
while productive of no harm to either
side, was an amusing sight, and con-
sisted of dashes at the dog with oc-
casional real blows on the part OF
the rooster and much barking and
running about on the part OF the
dog.-SL. Nicholas

ing to the service of this table was
conducted with a ritual of almost &C.
clesiastical minuteness. At a time
when, from the crown vassal to the
petty baron, mans safety and con-
sequence depended on the number of
followers he could muster, the greater
part of the revenue of an estate was
spent in the support of retainers and
hangers-on, and, there being thus no
lack of service, the various duties of
household were much subdiv,ded.
The modern term, "butler's pan
try" marks the coalescence of two
offices formerly distinct, when the
butler or "boteler" presided over the
buttery, or "botelerie," and the pan
ter" or painter" over the pantry or
bread closet. The duties of carver
and cupbearer were held to be very
honorable ones, and could be dis
charged by men of high rank. and in
great establishments the butler, the
panther, the porter, and the officers
of all the several household depart
ments had each his own contingent
of grooms and yeomen.

A Grave Matter.

A couple of gentlemen were stroll
ing through cemetery, when one
drew his companions at ention to a
stone on which was inscribed, Little
Johnnie, aged g."
You may hardly credit it, was
the remark, but Master Johnnie,
before his demise, did me slap out
of $500 a year, not to speak of a
charming wife"
How on earth could a child of 3
manage that" asked the other.
"In this fashion: AS you are aware.
I am quite bald, and wear, for az
pearance sake, wig. One hot day,
being alone with the youngster, l
took the thing off and gave it to him
to play with for few minutes. Well,
had proposed tc and been accepted
by the child's mothers sister-a
splendid girl, possessed of property
bringing about $500 year. We
were just on the eve of getting mar
ried. One day my affianced was car

HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
Though Father Of the Baby, I'm Naming It
He Did Not Count.

Though Father of the Baby, In Naming It
He Did Not Count.
The father thought he should have
something to say in regard to the
name the child should bear, and when
his wife proposed George Augustus
he accepted the first part, but reject
ed the last-that is, tried to reject
it, says the Chicago Post.
make it George William" he said.
william is a better name than Au-
gustus, and then it will please Uncle
Bill"
yes, and every one will call him
Bill" she protested. Il don't like
the name. Augustus is better"
"You won't make the changer"
Il don't sec why should"
"Very well," he said as he started
for his hat and coat; "pm going to
the Office"
The next morning, as he was put
ting on his coat, he asked:
How about that name?"
"Why, we'll call him George Au-
gustus," she returned in surprise.
Good day." he said, as he went out
and slammed the door.
When he came home that night he
asked:
lis it still Gussie?"
Augustus, she corrected.
After supper he remarked, sneer-
ingly:
"Gussie! Gussie. That's nice kind
of a name, isn't it,"
Augustus is very nice name. !"
she replied, calmly.
Before going to church for the bap-
tism the following morning he asked,
sarcastically:
do you still stick to Gussieo"
George Augustus, she said,
sweetly.
He shut himself in his room for a
few minutes and wrote plainly ON a
sheet of paper, George William"
Then he put it and $40 bill in an
envelope and joined the baptismal
party. Once at the church he slipped
off to one side and handed the cler-
gyman the envelope.
"Thank you for the fee," said the
latter, "but l already have the name.
Your wife gave it to me-"
Il thought you might MAKE mis-
take in it" suggested the father.
"Oh, no. It's written very plainly
George Augustus J."
The father sighed and gave up the
struggle, but he is getting his revenge
now by informing admiring friends in
his wifes presence that the baby's
name is "Gussie."
