HENS A PROFITABLE CROP
4 Source of Greater Wealth in Mis-
souri, Than Grain.
From the Kansas City Tfmez.1

ftrom the Kansas City Times.l
The summary of Missouri's productions
for 1899, prepared by the State Labor Bu-
reau and published in the daily newspa-
pers lew days ago, presents some anus
ing facts when closely analyzed. not the
least OF which are the unparalleled
achievements of Queen Chicka abiddy-fam-
ilfarIy known as the Missouri hen AS
wealth producer she is q world b.ater
The total number of pounds of poultry
live and dressed. shipped from Missouri's S
ia couIties in 1899. as reported from the
railroad and express companies was I06.-
9SS. TO an increase OF Sc 907 443 pounds
over the preceding year. The total num-
Der OF dozens OF eggs shipped last year
was 34-S15.040 and the aggregate value to
the producer of poultry and eggs was
$12. col 04S.54
The relative Importance of the poultry
industry in this State as compared with
other industries, will be better understood
when it is shown that the total value of
the wheat, corn. oats, fax, timothy seed.
clover seed. miflet seed. cane seed castor
beans, cotton, cotton seed. tobacco. broom
corn. hay, and straw which was shipped
by all of the counties in the State last
year did not equal the value of the poul-
try and eggs shipped during the same
time by over S17. .000
Here is another comparison; Aggre-
gate the value of all of the horses, mules
sheep, oats, rye, grass seed tobacco hay,
and straw shipped last year and the hen
will beat the combination over $4,000.
Take the value of all of the mill prod
uts-fiour, cornmeal. and mill feed-aII OF
the fruits and Vegetables, all of the butter.
cheese, milk, game and fish, furs, feath-
ers, molasses. honey, beeswax, wine, ice,
tar cider, vinegar, nursery stock, nuts
roots, junk, linseed oil, oil and cottonseed
meal, and cob pipes shipped in 1899 and
by comparison Queen Chickabiddy will
distance the aggregation and have a $50,
00e bank account to her credit
If the present rate of increase contin-
ues for ten years at the end of that time
the poultry industry will rival the total
output of all cur mines

WHAT HAPPENED TO HALL.
He Was Not Allowed to Escape with
Government Property.
(From the Chicago News.)


Hall, the real estate man, had Just re-
eeived a hurry call from Milwaukee It
meant dollars to him and he was deter
mined that nothing should interfere with
his catching the next train. He hastily
addressed an envelope at a desk in the
postoffce and then hurried out AS he
reached the door ne heard a commanding
voice shout:
stop that mani
He glanced back and was startled to see
& young man running toward him.
Great sandbanksi'' he thought, ''they
have mistaken me for stamp thief or
something of that kind. ItlI take time to
explain matters, and that train pulls out
in ten minutes. I'll risk lodging"
He sprinted around the corner, but his
pursuer was a close second.
Stop" shouted the latter, but Hall
only ran the faster.
"I'lI get to Milwaukee if 1 lose limb"
he painted.
He risked his life In front OF a brewery
wagon, stumbled over a car fender, and
almost fell under furniture van. Still
his pursuer could not be outdistanced.
IF l once get to the station I can lose
him in the crowd" soliioquized Hall. But
just then he tripped over an obstacle and
fell heavily.
The young man was up to him in an in
stant.
7 didn't take any stamps pleaded Hall,
''and l must make my train
You'll have to come with me-" said the
young man, simply.
They walked back to the postofice and
Hall faced the stern officer in blue
Its all mistake began Hall.
~ know that" responded the officer
"but the Government cannot afford to lose
pens that way
"Pens?"
yes. you have one OF the desk pens be-
hind your ear
Hall mechanically raised his hand and
lifted the missing pen from its resting
place.
And to think that did not feel that
pen" muttered Hall.
Guess weil send a petition to the Gov
ernment to have chains placed on the
pens,' said the officer.

NOT sc BAD AS PAINTED.
The GiIa Monster an Ugly Beast But
Not So Dnngerous
(From the New Orleans Tinles .penecratl

lFrom the New Orleans Times -Demecrat)
THE ella monster, about which so
much nonsense has been written is
really a harmless BEAST said a civil
engineer who formerly resided in Ari-
zona. ''Fhere is nothing very surpris-
ing, however, in the fact that it enjoys
such sinister reputation, for il is un-
questionably the NEST repulsive looking
creature On the hemisphere. full
grown monster is about fourteen inches
long and resembles dropsical lizard in
general shape, except that it has much
blunter head. In color it is dull. ven
omous green, and its pugnacity is some
thing incredible. When disturbed it will
make straight for anything in sight. and
at the same time puffs out it's throat like
an adder and Kisses like an angry goose.
To face such a hideous nondescript when
1t makes one of its pontblank charges
requires more nerve than the average
man possesses, especially when he re-
members that it is generally credited
with being more poisonous than a rattle
snake.
When I first went to Arizona I heard
a great deal about the Gila monster-by
the way, ella is pronounced .Hee-lat-
and was assured by old prospectors that
1t was able to spit deadly venom fully FIVE
or six feet. l he'd me doots,' as the old
Seotchman said, about this yarn, and al
though l made dilligent enquiry I was
never able to absolutely authenticate any
case in which the bite of monster had
proven fatal. Finally / secured couple
of the creatures alive and made a care
ful examination of their heads and
mouths. They have a full set of short
sharp teeth and their jaws are surpris-
ingly powerful, but they are unprovided
with either poison fangs or poison glands.
and the venom splitting story is pure
fable. In handling my ugly pets was
bitten slightly several times, but never
experienced any bad results. 1t is very
strange that the GiIa monster should be
found in only one limited section of the
United States. AS far as know none
has ever been caught except in south
western Arizona and little strip OF
southeastern California -

The liability to disease is greatly
esse1ed when the blood is IN good con-
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti-
tuition so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
