Holds Up a Crap Table.

Rawlins, Wyo., Aug. 24.-A little
after o'clock last evening, while the
streets were full of people, a nervy rob
ber attempted to hold up the crap
table at Slobb's saloon. The lower
part of his face was concealed by a
handkerchief. He walked up the table
with pistol in one hand and make a
grab for the silver, succeeding in get
ting about $50.
A bystander raised a chair to hit the
robber. and a shot made him drop it.
The robber then ran outside, fired an
other shot and ran south across the
railroad tracks and will probably get
away, as the robbery was SO quickly
done that no one seems to be able to
give description of the man.

standard Varieties of Chickens,

Leghorns.-Leghorns are the besh
known Of the producing varieties
or Mediterranean class. They are the
premiers in laying and the standard by
which the proflicacy of other breeds is
judged. OF the origin of the Leghorn
fowl there are differences of opinion,
and there is but little information to
be found anywhere concerning their
early history. It is generally conceded
that race of fowls bearing a close re-
semblance in many respects to the Leg
norm has existed in Italy and other
parts of the Continent of Europe for a
long period. That this race of fowls
has been widely disseminated admits
also of little doubt, inasmuch as at the
present day the breed is known in Dem
mark and other countries as Italians.
Ihere seems to be good ground for the
statement that Leghorns were first in
troduced into America from Italy. The
story goes that as early as 1884 a yes
sci from Leghorn, Italy, brought to
this country as part of its cargo a
small shipment of fowls, which were at
INV ney
diately became popular, their prolific
laying and nonstting qualities being
recognized at this early date. White
and Brown Leghorns were the first va
rieties known. Modern breeders are
responsible for some of the sub-yarie-
ties OF the breed, and, In point of color
at least, exhibition birds of today, even

ably from those seen at the present
time in Italy. The Leghorn fowl holds
the same place among poultry that the
Jersey holds among cattle. The uues-
tion OF profit in poultry has been de-
cided in favor of egg-producing breeds.
They are lively, active, and of a rest
less disposition, the best of foragers,
and Will pick up good part of their
living during the year. Leghorns are
light eaters and the cost of raising
them to maturity is about one-half that
OF the Asiatic varieties. They mature
early feather quickly, the pullets of-
ten begin laying when 4 months old
and cockerels crow at the same age
They are the best layers, averaging be-
tween $50 and 200 eggs per year. Their
eggs are pure white in color, and weigh
about 10 to the pound. As table fowls
they are fairly good. By many they are
considered excellent The only thing
that can be said against them is that
they are small in size. Altogether.
they are one of the most profitable
breeds of poultry that can be kept upon
the farm, and the cheapness of their
keeping will allow the raising of two
Leghorns for the cost OF one Asiatic.
They must be warmly housed in winter
to lay well and to protect their pendu-
lous wattles from frostbite.

The Ex-President Slept Well
Working Hard to the
Last.

WASHINGTON, March 4, 1897.-Presi-
dent Cleveland was notably improved in
health this morning, having been re-
freshed by over six hours of sleep. Soon
after midnight last night he caught up
with the accumulation of legislation and
retiring for the night was not disturbed
until nearly three o'clock this morning,
when he breakfasted with a good appe-
tite and resumed the consideration of
bills in the best of spirits.
He continued his labors in the private
apartments while the White House staff
put the finishing touches on the official
quarters and the big desk in the Execu-
tive office which was presented by Queen
Victoria was polished and arranged for
the new President who will cooperate in
making history upon its broad top for the
next four years.
The clear atmosphere and generous sun
light dispelled all doubt as to the Presi-
dents ability to take part in all the out
door Inauguration programme, and before
nine o'clock he was busily engaged in
passing upon the bela.ted acts of Con-
gress. in am effort to have his calendar
cleared before the arrival of the President
elect at eleven.
