bird which he held in his hand and
had been able to apply it to the pur-
chase of the bird which was at pres

Shanghai preferred appeared to be
changing from a speculative gamble
to a gilt-edged investment security.
Johnson allowed the farmers to out
bid each other for some time, and it
was not until a bid of nine dollars
and seventy-five cents had been made,
and it was a certainty that no farmer
had more than that in his possession,
that he raised the amount to ten dol
lars. This was the last cent of mon
ey which he had left after paying for
his former purchases, but he diplomat
ically put on a bold front, as if his Of
fer were backed by unlimited capital
Ten dollars is offered; do l hear
'leven? Ten an a quarter? Gentle
men, please observe the merits of this
beautiful Shanghai rooster; an goin
so cheap'-the bird was not worth,
intrinsically, thirty cents. "Only ten
an a quarter. Coin to Mr.. Johnson

don't a few of We get together and
I form a little pool-put yer money to-
gether and buy this little bird? Then
we can all get together and have a
nice pot roast of chickeni" The
antiquated bird could not have fed a
hungry cat.
The suggestion was eagerly seized
upon and several of the farmers con-
tributed their quota toward the
amount necessary to cover Johnson's
ten-dollar bid. The spokesman of
the pool offered ten dollars and a
quarter and Henry looked inquiringly
in the direction Of Johnson.
Say, Henry" said the latter, "if
you want to trust me for half dollar

ter Johnson. Ye know 1 said I'd

For few moments Henry was in

Lynch, but the humor of the situa.

not purchased any hens, and Henry
escaped.

United States Courts. AT the recent

Il Appeals the judges were open III thelr
complaint OF the inoonvenient and crowd
d quarters assigned them and othcr
Ulcers OF the court.
On the first floor, occupied by the
,ostoft!ce. the need is most evident. Here
he departments of the Office are crowd
q and jammed one into another, SO that
there is scarcely room for passage. In
he rear of the Office, the distributing de-
partment, the situation is even worse.
md daily the business is increasing and
unprecedented volumes Of mail pour into
he Office each month.
Another disadvantage in this section of
the office is that during the entire day
sas and electric lights have to be kept
burning. so dark are the rooms. so closely
encroached upon by the high walls on the
Bank Street side. The railway mail
agents have been crowded out of the Of
flee entirely, and now occupy rooms in
the Merchants Bank building.
The appropriation for the annex to the
building will almost certainly be made,
and at the same time 1t is believed the
grant for the new building will come.
Postmaster Knight says he has presented
the condition here before the Postoffice
Department in Washington and has as
surancc from headquarters that Rich
n1ond's needs are recognized. and hcr
