Much of LittIe.

The stranger in any city half hun
dred years old. if he knew nothing Of
the city's history, would learn from
many of the signs that the second and
third generations had succeeded to the
business of father and grandfather. 1t
is especially true of New York. The
New York Tribune mentions some pc
'culiar signs and relates the following:
A Londoner who had strolled about
the streets of the city with a New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of sons agreed that
in this respect New York was very like
London, but in neither city was there
any such sign as he saw in one of the
old English towns a few hours run
from the worlds metropolis. The sign
reads, "John Littlejohn's Sons & Little
little Littlejohn, Doolittle LittlejOhn
& John Little).
According to the Londoner the first
Littlejohn and Little We're partners.
The former gave his first son his part
ner's family name, and Little gave his
boy his partners Christian name. Lit
tlejohn'S second son was named for his
mothers family, Doolittle. The three
sons succeeded to their fathers bust
ness; hence the sign is entirely correct,
and the Londoner was right in saying
that the successors had no intention of
being funny" when they had their
sign written as it appears.

POULTRY SHOW.

Splendid Exhibit to BE Made Mt the
Pan-AmerIcan Exposition.
In planning a great Exposition of the
magnitude of the Pan-American, to be
held in Buffalo next summer, where all
the great industries of the United States
will be represented by exhibits which
will be of the best quality and charac-
ter that can be produced, the wisdom
of the management is shown in the
magnificent preparations that are be-
ing made for the Division of Live
Stock.
In no line of breeding domestic ami
mails has greater strides been made
than in the poultry industry, and, while
the interest taken in the Live Stock Di-
vision of the Exposition by prospective
exhibitors is very encouraging, the
poultrymen of the United States and
Canada are manifesting an interest
that is truly phenomenal. The poultry
men in the past few years have seen
the industry double many times until
