tention in his neighborhood. The
fowl. which was recently hatched,
has four perfectly formed legs. Two of
these are normal and the chicken uses
them for walking purposes only.
The other two are equally as well
formed. but are tritie redundant
However, when Mr.. Quick Is show
ing off his curlo. il seems TO appre-
clatc the importance of the occasion
and drops down its two extra legs
and does the "all-four act" very grace
fully. Having satisfied the spectn-

the fowl throws them over It's Back
and crosses them just above the claw.

times the price of an ordinary chicken
