Accordingly he pnr- chased three hens, eacn of as many breeds and a fine rooster. They thrived and three hens were setting, when Policeman Neach became alarmed at the various hen house robberies in his neighborhood
 We had two turkeys Christmas Day said he last night although l tried 10 persuade my wife to have some of the chickens. She insisted we must have tur= key for that day, but agreed 10 have chicken for New Years Day. Now we won't have them unless we buy them for while l was on watch, and my wife asleep somebody sneaSed in and stole every one of them The hens looked good. but what hurts me is that rooster wouldn't have taken S5 for him
 At roll call last night, Policeman Veaeh, his voice qulvoring with emotion, advised his brother officers to eat their chickens, If they had any, and tell their friends to do likewise He has decided that the raising of fancy poultry doesn't pay-it has more risks than life insurance com pany, with no big salaries attached

Four bills passed by the legisIa-
tuGe near the close Of the session
have been vetoed by Gov. Elrod.
They are "The act authorizing
the calling Of special meetings Of
boards Of county commissioners
on request Of two members of the
board, OH the ground Of imperfect
title; the act providing for consol-
idation Of wards in cities on the
ground that it was useless and mis-
chievous legislation; the act plac
ing flow of water across highways
from private artesian wells under
control of the road %overseer, on &C
count Of imperfect title; and TIL
act raising the age Of compulsory
school attendance from IA to II
years as adding no value to the
present law" We have not seen
copy of the bill authorizing con
solldation Of wards in cities, bu
judging from its title it should
have become a law. The consoIi
dation Of wards in small citie'
would save much expense and WI
believe would be more satisfactor,
than the present system.
