Much of Little.

The stranger in any city haff hun
dred years old, II 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. It
Is especially true Of New York. The
New York Tribune mentions some pc
cul1aT 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 Littletohn, Doolittle Littlejohn
& John Little.
According to the Londoner the first
Ltttlejohn and Little were 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.

An Apology ard a Settlement

When the theater crowd was at It's
thickest on Broadway on Saturday
night, a well set up man Of medium
size, wearing a glossy silk hat, hurried
along. In lodging through the throng
the handle Of the cane he carried
caught the arm of one of two burly
persons who were going In the same
direction. He half turned as If to apol-
oglZe, but before he could do so one
Of the pair smashed his silk hat with q
heavy stick.
Il beg your pardon, sir,' said the
man, blandly taking off his battered
tile. my rudeness was unintention-
al"
Putting back the damaged hat on his
head, he dropped his cane and said,
Now l propose to settle with you for
blackguard."
Those on the spot saw a fash Of
fists. The big man went fat on his
back from clean smash ON the jaw.
IF you want any more, am ready
to oblige you," said the other.
The other apparently didn't. The
smaller man picked up his stick, took
off his damaged silk hat, brushed it
and continued on his way down Broad
way. And the crowd of spectators,
who had gathered as if by magic, broke
up with the feeling that they had seen
as neat bit of work as it would ever
be their good fortune to encounter
New York Sun.

To Found a Model Town,

A gigantic scheme is afoat to found a
great model industrial town in the east
ern part OF the country, where shall be
gathered variety of manufacturers and
an army of employees, under social con-
ditiOns; the town and manufactures to
be organized according to the most ap-
proved business methods, with the high
est regard to the physical and intellect
ual welfare of its residents. Fifty years
ago, medicine was founded which also
had in view the welfare of humanity.
This was Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. a
remedy famed the world over for it's cure
of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion,
belching, insomnia, biliousness, nervous
ness and malaria, fever and ague. As a
strengthening tonic and blood purifier,
it is unequalled. A trial will certainly
convince you of it's value.

Dangerous Economy.

A paragraph about an economical
merchant in Broadway saving the
backs of old envelopes for scratch pa
per reminds an old friend Of this story
A New York dealer, who left about
100000, for long time kept up the
practice Of tearing off the fly sheets
of the numerous foolscap letters he
received and sticking them on a spindle
for scribbling purposes. Envelopes
were not yet in use. A lawsuit arose,
and the merchant thought he had won
his case when defendants letter, duly
signed, was produced. Counsel for
defendant examined the letter and,
turning it over to look for the super
scription, found that it was missing.
He Immediately saw his advantage
and said: This letter is incomplete,
your honor. A sheet is missing. l
claim that there might have been a
postscript On the other sheet which
would entirely change the character
Of the order" The court so ruled, and
defendant won the suit The practice
of utilizing fly sheets in that mer-
chants office was at once discontinued.

PENClLED ROCKS,
Breeders Who Have "a New Strain of
the Great American Breed.

SrecueS w NO have n New Strain of
the Great American Breed.
The next new variety Of fowls to be
introduced 10 public notice is the Pen
ciled Plymouth Rock in two colors. the
Silver Penciled and Partridge Penciled.
e. o. THEM started to make a Par
fridge Penciled some years ago but 7
think discontinued breeding them. and
later DR.. w. G. Crocker of Foxboro
Mass, started both varieties, Silver
and partridge Penciled. We met Mr..
Crocker at Boston one year ago and
discovered the fact that he was origt
mating some new things with pIumage
like the Penciled Wyandotte through
his persistent inquiries as to our meth
cd OF producing and breeding, the pen
chung and color In the Penciled Wyan-
dottes. Then he inquired If we had
any single combed sports. This con-
frmed our suspicious Having q few
single combs in each color, they were
sent to Mr.. Croker to be mated to the
birds he already had, and we under
stand he has made great Improvement
by using these single combed sports
from both varieties Of Penciled Wyan-
dottes, they having bred true to single
comb, clean legs and nicely penciled
plumage.
but there are others" who have
started and are breeding them. one of
these being Mr.. John Lowe of Swan
sea, Mass. Mr.. Lowe Is also original
Ing strain Of each variety and hard
~ knows which he adm1res most, the
Silver Penciled or Partridge Penciled.
But this is not all. Mr.. r. G. Buffin-
ton Of Fall River Mass, Of whom it
has been said, ga breeder who breeds
Bufr-in-ton lots" Is also originating the
Partridge Penciled variety and has re-
Gently Informed me that he has Just
purchased all Of DR.. n. B. Aldrich's
Partridge Penciled Rocks, besides a lot
OF other birds of this variety from 9th
er breeders. So 1t would seem that
Massachusetts Is a veritable hotbed in
the production Of these new Penciled
Rocks. The writer has three pullets
and a cockerel or two Of these single
combed sports in the Partridge Pen
c1led variety. which, If mated together,
might produce single combed results
only, and If we conclude to do this we
will be ''tn it," too but we will do
nothing Of the sort. The two varieties
Of Penciled Wyandottes keep US busy
thinking, and a rose comb suits our
taste better than single comb.
There is a probability that "thcTe
are others" in different parts Of the
world who are breeding these new
Penciled Plymouth Rocks besides
those mentioned above. These, how
ever, are all that have heard of thus
far. l do not doubt but that these
two varieties will be brought to a very
high standard of perfection, or at least
they will soon be brought up to an
equality with the Partridge Cochin and
Dark Brahma in color and markings,
as the Partridge Cochin and Dark
Brahma can be used in improving
these new varieties. It will be no
iced that have used the name "Par-
fridge Penciled." This name will still
leave the two varieties In the same
Pencile0 class. This in all probabili-
ty Is the name by which the Partridge
or Golden Penciled Wyandotte will be
called in future.-George 81. Bracken
