There are eighty-seyen standard and a
large number Of pron,iscuous varieties OF
chickens raised in the United States. and
the study of them has become quite an
interesting one cot alone from the stand
point OF the pleasure Of raising them sim
ply as an amusement or pasttime but
from the very large prosts that can be
made II they are handled purely as a
business venture. Nowadays, when nearly
every suburban home has a lot of suffi-
Gent size around it for the culture OF
fowls many amateurs have turned their
attention to tho raising Of poultry, and
they not alone keep their tables supplied
with . plenty OF fresh eggs and young
chicken, but ind there are enough left
for the proceeds to entirely supply the
other necessary adjuncts to a weil-kept
home.
Tie chickens that can probably be
raised In this country may be said to be
divided into the following classes:
American clas.-Barred. Buff. Pea-comb
Barred. and White Plymouth Rocks; Sd
yer. Golden. White. Bun and B.ask Wyan-
dottes: Black. Notified. and White Javas;
American Dominioues. and Jersey Blues.

Buf, Partridge, White, and Black Cochins;
Black aud White Langshans.
Meditsrraneau class-Brown, Rose-comb
Brown, white. Rosecomb White. ack,
Dominique, Buzz. and Silver Ddckwing Leg-
horns; Black and White Minorcas; Andalu-
SLAMS and Black Spanish.
Polish class-white-creste Black. Col
den Silver, White. Bearded Co den. Beard
ed Silver. Bearded white. and Buff-laced.
Hamburg ass-Golden-spangled. Sill
vsr-SpanEisd. Go!dea-penciled. silver-pen-
ciled White and Black Hamburgs; Red
caps; Silver and Golden Campines.
French class-Hordans, Crevecoeurs. AMI
La Flechs.
English class-white. Silver Grey. and
Colored Dorkinss.
Game and Game Bantam clsss-Black-
breasted Red. Brown Red. Golden Duck
wing. Silver Duckwing, Red Pyle, White,
Black; and Birchen Games; tbs same va ie-
ties for Game Bantsms. Cornish AID
white Indian Games; Melays and Black ST.
r.atra Games.
Bantam ciass other than game-GolGen
and Silver Sebrirhts: White and Black
Rosecomb: Booted White: Bun. Partri' ge.
White, and Black Cochins; Black-tailed,
White. and Black japanese, and White
crested white Polish.
Miscellaneous class-Russans, Si,kies,
Sultsns, Frizxles, and Rumpless.
For practical purposes the above ten
classes may be grouped into four general
classes rs follows:
"a The genersl-purpose breeds: The
American class.
q, The meat or table breeds: TIE
Asiatic class.
ts) The egg breeds: The Mediterranean
class.
"a The ornamental breeds: The Poi h,

Blank Wills.

Among the many things which the
British government provides for its
soldiers are blank forms for a will.
According TO Harpcr's Weekly. the
war office supplies every soldier that
goes TO the front with three blank
forms Of willS-;he first for the man
who wishes to leave all his propprty
TO one person. the second for those
who wish to DcqUcath lrGacics to Scv-
eral persons and TIE third for use Of
married soldiers desiring to leave prop-
erty to their wives and children

people, usually ncglccts to make his
Will until the very last moment and
frequently waits Until wounded or dv-

merly the men would scribhle their
will in few words on some straw bit

The idea is good one. and the'Phil-

IF hospitals and emergency physi-
clans as well as soldiers were provfd-

OF great convenience in many cases Of
emergency and severe Illness. and legal
complications might many times be
avoided by their use"

Greets Him With a Kiss and
Brings Him Clean Clothes,
she TALKS WITH HIM AN HOUR
He Exensraiss Forbes, Who, Hs Says, Gave
Him Banks Money on Condition That
II Should Be RsiuTn;d.

Chicago. oct. 3.-Mrs. Dunton met her
husband. William Dunton. in the United
States marshals office today for the hrsi
time since he deserted her month ago
and disappeared from the city with DOT
Thurman. and with $4,000 Of the Union
National Banks money.
Mrs. Dunton brought the prisoner clean
clothes. She greeted him with KISS and
then sat down and held earnest conver-
sation with him for an hour She left MIN
with pressure OF the hand.
Jsmes Clark who married Dunton
sister, was with her.
Dunton was gloomy He seemed more
ashamed of his fathlessness toward his
wife than of his embezzlement.
The federal authorities say that Dun
ton exonerates George Forbes, an em-
ploye of the bank who committed suicide
as a sequel TO the defalcation.
Forbes and Dunton were friends, Forbes
appropriated money for Dunton on Dun
toms word that he would return IL so that
" could be pat back among the bank $
funds.
Dunton shoulders all the blame. He
told the marshal who brought him back
from virginia that his method OF getting
the banks money was through Forbes,
VINO honored his personal checks Then
Dunton. instead OF keeping his word with
Torbes would steal the checks before
they came to the attention OF the bank
officials.
The books were tampered with also In
order 10 avoid detection.
Only $1,000 OF the stolen money has been
recovered. The rest Dunton squandered In
high life with Dot Thurman. They went
10 Atlantic City and chartered steam
launch. Dunton engaged string orches-
ira for the cruise, and the cargo consist
ed OF rare wines. cigarettes and cigars.
Their hilarity ended abruptly at New
port News. where the federal officers ap-
peared and arrested them. When Dot
was released Dunton said TO her, as he
was being led 10 jail:
"Dottie. / have deceived you. j am q
IRE rriet ffssff- :,
yyhereupon. she. after counting the
rac ney he had given her, said, without
tears:
We'll. I guess I've got enough to get
back TO Chicago Ia ta."
Mrs. Dunton declined 10 discuss her re-
ception of her husband, and a report tina
she would sue him for divorce was de-
MED by Mr.. Clark.
