the three temporary lighting bills. The

probably mean personal violence to
them should they do SO.

really voted for measures regarded as
beneficial to the public and profitable
to corporations. but which do not pro-
duce cents worth of i!legitimate

young rooster that crowed and grew fat
while carrying in its giZzard stickpin

muscular second stomach of the fowl
and prouuded quarter of an inch on
the outside.
Josiah Barnes, the second cook at the
Golden Eagle, was engaged in cleaning
a lot Of fowls preparatory to cooking
them for the Sunday dinner. While
handling particularly fine, fat, young
rooster something pricked his hand.
He made an investigation and found a
sharp pointed instrument protruding
through the gizzard, He cut open the
organ and was surprised to find a stick
pin therein. The pin was mounted
