BLACK BETTY I'M CLOVER.

"A little incident will sometimes show
the character Of man more clearly
than great act. Mr.. Laurence Hutton
tells a story Of Edwin Booth that re-
veals the kindly heart of the man
whom the world knew as a famous
actor
Mr.. Hutton caNso upOn Mr.. Booth
in New York, and fo,no dim In an easy
chair, with pipe n his mouth. The
long chat which ensUNd was not dis
turbed. Mr.. Booth was in great re-
quest, and before long waiter enter
ed and put card into mis- hand.
Tell the lady that Mr.. Booth is en-
gagged" was the quiet answer, and an
influential leader in New York society
went away disappointed.
A few minutes later second caller
a man honorably known throughout
the country-turned away without see
ing Mr.. Booth. Yet another card was
sent down with the statement THAT Mr..
Booth was engaged, and gentleman
and his wife, whom few people would
have refused to receive, became convin-
ced that the actor was an exception to
the rule; but at last came name that
met with different fate.
SHOW the lady up" said the now
interested actor, and Mr.. Hutton put on
his overcoat to leave the room. He
was not allowed to depart The lady
was friend of his, and would be glad
to see him, he was assured.
Thereupon he waited, curious to dis
cover the identity of the person who
could obtain an audience with the man
who had been too tired to see the
daughter Of one Of the most distinguish
ed men of science in che country, or a
Judge Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, or bishop and his wife.
The door opened, and in walked
Betty. the old negro servant who had
nursed Mr.. Booths daughter when she
was a baby, and had taken the most
tender care of his wife when she was
slowly dying, and had been lifelong
friend CT them all.
She kissed 'fMassa Edwins" hand,
shook hands cordially with Mr.. Hutton,

COOPERATIVE LIVING CLUBS.
Nine Families Form One that Fur
nishes Meals for 8 Cents.

Nine of the most staid and respect
able families in Burton, Kan. have
thrown away their stove lids and
packed their dishes on the back kitchen
stoves. They have shocked the ordi-
nary ideals of economic propriety and
have formed cooperative living as
ISOLATION, wherein the food question is
settled upon cooperative basis.
Burton is small village without
any immediate prospect OF growing
larger. The size of the town does not
warrant the location of a bakery, AID
all the wheatstuff must be bought from
the neighboring cities. AS a conse-
quence of the limited population there
is a very small supply of hired help,
even smaller than the limited demand.
The heavy burdens of the household
fall upon the housewife alone, and very
little social intercourse can be enjoyed.
In such a condition of affairs the CO.
operative Living Association was or
ganized for the economic and social
benefit of its membership. In order
to insure a reliable, orthodox reputa-
ton the association has enrolled
among its members bankers. mer-
chants, druggists and a representative
preceptor and dominic.
The practical advantages of the club
may be noted as follows: First, the

DATA ON COCK FIGHTING.
Historic Sport that Dates Back TO the
Olympic Games.

At first cock fighting was partly a
religious and partly a political lnstltu-
ton at Athens, and was continued Tor
improving the seeds of vafor In the
minds of the Greek youth, but was ait
erward perverted, both there and IN
other parts of Greece, to common
pastime without any political or re-
ligious intention. The Romans were
prone to initiate the Greeks, but ola
not, as may be gathered from Colu-
mella, adopt this practice very early.
II is not known when this sport was
first brought there by the Romans. 1t
has by some been called royal d.
version, and the first cockpit at White
hall was erected by Charles II for the
more magnificent celebration Of it.
The birds are generally dieted about
a fortnight or three weeks by regular
feeders. Cocks of middle size are
found the best fighters, the match
weights being from three pounds SIX
ounces to four pounds eight ounces.
The place apportiOned to the hghters
is called the pit. The battle IS con-
Quoted by settlers, as they are called,
who place the cocks beak to beak
When once the cocks are pltted,
neither of the setters-tO can touch mis-
cock so long as they continue to hight,
unless their weapons are entangled.
This has been modified by certain rules
in this country, but if they have left
off fighting while the umpire or law
teller can count forty, each setter-to
instantly handles his cock, when they
are brought beak to beak in the middle
of the pit, and the cock who made the
last fight. with either heel or beak, Is
said to have the first law in his favor.
When brought beak to beak on their
legs. if the cock who did not fight
while the count was telling still con-
tinues to decline fighting, the umpire
proceeds to count ten, which being
done, they are again brought beak to
beak. If the same cock continues still
unwilling or unable to fight, the cere-
mony Of telling ten and bringing beak
To beak at the conclusion of every ten
takes place, till it has been repeated ten
different times, when the cock so re-
fusing to fight has lost his battle.
But should they fight during the en-
forcement of any part Of the law, what
has been told is of no effect, and the
first ten must be begun over again
whenever a fight is renewed.
If cock, having the law in his favor,
dies before the long law is told out.
his adversary wins the battle, al
though he did not fight within the law,
for there can not be a greater criterion
of victory than having killed his OPP
ponent.
The above rules and regulations are
not necessarily enforced in every
~.;, D;fferopt lOca1itie1 have their
different rules The fairest rules and
most strict in this country are the New
York rules. The handlers in main
conducted under New York rules are
not allowed to touch their cock with
both hands, and they are not allowed
to help in any way except to disentan-
gle the cocks when the steels get fast

and let herself be placed in the most
comfortable rocking chair. Then she
began to talk Familiarity about her own
affairs and NJ Booths. She could not
afford to go to the theatre mo mo-"
she said, but she wanted her husband
to see 'EMaSsa Edwin play" Could she
have pass for two for that night?
He wrote the pass at once, and put it
into her hand. She read it and re-
turned it with a shake of her head.
They was only nggers," she said. The
"do'keeper wouldn't let no niggers into
the orchestra seats; pass to the gall
lery was good enough for them"
A second paper she received silently,
but with another and still more decided
shake of her head CHANGING over her
shoulder, MFR. Hutton read; Pass my
friend, Betty Blank and party to. my
box this evening. Edwin Booth" And
Betty occupied the box.-Harper's Mag
