ROOSTER WANTED TO DIE.
when He Lost His Eye in n HumiIi-
ating Manner, He Laid His Head
on the Block.

"Pride's a terrible thing, L tell
you," remarked a New Rochelle COM
muter.
"Yes?" said the man who had got
on the train at Pedham Manor.
"Yes. That young fellow cutting
away for the other side of the world
just because the girl made fool of
him reminds me of the Langshan
rooster we had up at our place. He
was a ~fine-looking cock, and he had
bossed the barnyard so long hat he
sort of came to think he was in
fallible. Rosebery says that was
what happened to Napoleon, who got
beaten at last simply because he
thought he couldn't be-
"Yes?" responded the Pelham cit
izen.
well this rooster grew careless,
and when he put on too many lordly
airs one day a old hen up and
pecked his left eye out, in plain view
of the whole colony of chickens.
You never saw such humiliation ia
your life.
at wasn't the loss of the eye so
much as the loss of prestige hat
hurt. He never was himself again.
Every cockerel in the yard made open
fun of him, the hens strutted close to
him with shocking impertinence and
every sprig of a chicken sauced him
with most offensive impudence. He
pinned away, his feathers dropped and
he became the pariah of the barn
yard, sneaking around by himself to
pick up stray grains of corn when
the rest of the fowl had finished
feeding.
"One day 1 went out to get a
plump hen for dinner. l laid the
Ratchet on the block where l usual
ly cut off the heads of chickens and
was moving around to pick out a fat
one when my wife called me to look.
And, sir, lying fat on the block was
the proud rooster. He had hoped
up there and put his head down close
TO the Ratchet and waited for me-"
did you kill 'him?" asked the other
man, says the New York Mail and
Express, as the narrator paused.
Il didn't want to, but my wife
begged me to put him out of his
misery. He wasn't very good eating,
but | made him the subject of a
pretty fine talk about pride, which,
as | said before, is a terrible thing"
He got off at One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth street with his head
erect.

A IT ALI READY. ,
The Returned Traveller Gave the Re-
porter the Whole Thing In
n Nutshell.

A Detroiter who had been spending
two or three months in Montana ar
rived home the other day, and when a
reporter called at his house to inter-
view him the little affair was found
to be typewriter and all ready for
instant delivery, relates the Free
Press. 1t reads as follows:
Il gained Is pounds.
Haven't felt so well for ten years.
"Climate of Montana is the most
glorious in the world.
"Saw many Indians. Saw many In
dams playing poker.
Bought an Indian blanket to bring
home. After boiling it for a week
or SO it will be left out for about 40
nights to freeze.
Bought several Indian arrows
stained with blood. Didn't ask
whether it was human or cows
blood. They never make any ex-
plantations in Montana.
Rode a bucking broncho. Usual
results followed. Broncho also broke
his neck at the same time.
"Was impressed by the mountains.
lave returned home dissatisfied with
Michigan because she has none.
''Saw many genuine cowboys. Was
rather disappointed to find most of
them deacons of churches, but was
assured that they couldn't help it.
WAS out after grizzly bears sew
eral times, but obtained no inter
views. Was told that this was the

did not argue the matter. They never
argue in Montana.
Heard the howl of a mountain
lion one evening when returning to
camp. Was informed that he was
bowling to pass away the time, and

being out there. Made no remarks.
Remarks don't go in Montana.
descended into a canyon $50 feet
deep. Not being lighted by electric
ity, and all the saloons being closed,

Visitors to Montana are helped into
the depths of canyons without extra
charge.
Saw the tracks of an elk. Might
have seen the elk who made the
tracks if l had followed the trail
three or four weeks longer. Was
neither encouraged nor discouraged
by the people. They let you do as
you want to in Montana.
saw a man hung for stealing a
horse. 1t wasn't clear whether 1T
was a horse or a steer, but as he
wanted 10 be hung they didn't split
hairs over it. The people of Mon
tana are an accommodating lot. They
would have hung me had l requested
it.
