BOYS WANTED ROOSTER
FOR FIGHT, NOT FOOD.
Cot Him and Then Proceeded to
Do Things to Their chum's Bird
With the Big camy Streak"

In the days when a brownstone
front was regarded MS the outer and
visible sign Of "gentility," and when
life in New York was a simpler mat.
ter than it is to-day, there lived in one
Of the orthodox mansions certain
highly respectable maiden lady and
two nephews, cousins, TO whom she
was guardian.
A classmate and chum Of the elder
boy had become the happy possessor
Of a rooster which, the seller assured
him, had "big gamy streak to him."
lnhamed by this eulogy, both boys
were wild for a MATCH" and not hav-
ing the means where with to purchase
an antagonist, they put their heads to-
gether TO compass the borrowing of
one, and with the following results:
The younger cousin, an unusually
polite and gentle little boy, was dis
patched on the first holiday to the gro
cory where the family dealt, ostensi-
bly, to order chicken for dinner,
But he said, pointing to a coop Of
live fowls, my aunt wants to see it
before you kill it,"
The grocer aSsented, and forthwith
drew from the coop what he consid-
cred a desirable bird. But the boy
would have none Of it. He had set
his heart on a rainbow colored rooster
with enormous comb and tail.
"Why,' said the grocer, that is the
very toughest old customer in the
bunch"
"My aunt likes them tough said the
gentle little boy.
In a couple Of hours the rooster was
borne back to the store-one eye shut,
his comb torn and bloody, and but one
feather Of his beautiful tail left But
he was growing so trlumphantly that
small crowd followed him. He had
suffered, but the bird with the "big
gamy streak TO him" was nowhere.
"My aunt is much obliged to YOU"
said the polite and gentle little boy to
the astonished grocer, "She can't de.
eide to-day, but she would like TO look
at him again next Saturday." - The

First Of all take care Of your general

Then, remember that straining Of the

a bad light.
Glare and gloom are equally bad 10

the worse for the eyes-one is as bad
as the other.

During a recent visit TO the London

formed that the stock Of ivory then
shown represented, on an average. the
annual slaughter Of some 10000 Afrl-

been conradicted in two letters in the

Of the supply is dead ivory" mainly
obtained from boarded stores of Afrl-
can chiefs, who are shrewd enough to
put their commodities on the market

part Of the letter is, however, the
statement that the great bulk Of this
boarded ivory is obtained from "ele-

The more think of Byron the more
clear it becomes to me that he is,
first, second and third, a tragic figure.
He was the child Of loveless mar
riage, that constant source of huge
armies Of diScordant natures. His up
bringing was tragic; his marriage was
tragic; his loves were tragic; his death,
which l thought mt first only tragic
farce, is actual tragedy. Byron and
Napoleon, contemporaries, were the
analogues and compliments Of each
other. Byron is the passive tragedy
of the imaginative temperament as
poet, using expression: Napoleon is
the active tragedy of the imaginative
temperament as warrior and world
