ARE REMARKABLE CHICKENS
Some Lay Eggs With Handles, and
Others Are Covered With Hair
Instead of Feathers.

Those New Jersey chickens that lay
eggs with handles, and those other
fowls that lay ham and eggs, concern
ing which freaks we have made clip
pings from the New Y 0rk Tribune, are
pretty we'll matched by some chickens
out in Kankakee, Ill. Three years
ago it seems the secretary of agricul-
ture sent out bulletin explaining
how featherless chickens might be
produced. A poultry raiser at Kan
kakee followed the direction. The
chickens that he experimental with
lost their feathers, to be sure, and the
poultry man saved their eggs and con-
tinued the treatment, feeling sure that
he had discovered a fowl that would
be a labor-saver and command good
prices in the market. But after the
third or fourth generation the chickens
began to grow hair where other chick
ems have feathers, so that now he has
pullets with hair coverings that would
make a baldheaded man enviOus.

some several feet higher than that OF
Elizabeth river, upon which Norfolk
is situated, and the surface of the
swamp is also higher than the city OF
Norfolk, therefore, it is practicable to
drain the same.
1.-The drainage of this swamp would
open up thousands of acres of the most
fertile lands in the country, whose
fertility would continue undiminished
for generations to come. No more
inviting returns could be found than
from the investment of this money.
"This does not appear to be SO
novel proposition. Senator Hans
borough of North Dakota introduced
in the senate and the senate has pass
ed a bill providing for the drainage
under similar conditions of certain
lands located in six counties in the
state of North Dakota. This bill
came over to the house and is now
nending before the house committee
on public lands. If the government
wishes to make a temporary invest
,,,ont in the drainage of lands no finer
opportunity is offered than IS pre-.
sented bv this in the Dismal Swamp,
the most fertile in the world.

wAsHERwoMAN,s AUTOMOBILE

The news comes from Battle Greek,
Mich, that a washerwOman of that
city has bought a 81, 200 automobile
with which she will make the rounds of
her patrons every Monday morning
and gather up their soiled linen. Does
that mean the beginning of the end of
the automobile as fashionable We
hicle? viii society care for the auto
when the washerwoman comes putting
and 'honking" along, and possibly
speeding faster than the SWEETEST rig
on the road? The grocer and the
butcher, also, are taking to the auto
mobile. Will society "stand for it"
when the lard and the steaks are
whisked by in ''choo-choo cars" that
are as smart on their wheels as are
society's own cars? SO long as auto
mobiles we're exclusive, and only the
wealthy could afford them, they were
makers of distinction; but if washer
women and others of their rank are to
ride in the machines, then of course
society will have to look for some
thing new. Maybe it will be airships.

WHY NOT BE HONEST?

We have here In this city OF
Wheeling many good and honest
people. men and women alike. Most
of them profess belief i'm those
creeds which. for centuries. have
worked for the upbuiiding OF the
human race. Many OF them are
workers for purity at large and for
reform In the conduct OF public d..
ties. Some OF these are members
and active workers in certain good
and valuable organizations. These.
as do many, believe in the observance
of the Sabbath day. They are un-
1lterably opposed TO all forms of
vice. They believe in morality.
And so believing they strive to in
culcate i'm others like ideas. But
these good people deliberately winl:
ut vice in its most unholy and des
nicable forms here at home. For
Example: There are laws. city. and
state, which absolutely prohibit cer-
tain things. There are officials who
are sworn and are paid to ,nfor, =
those laws. And every one. inciu-
ding those above particularizec
knows that the laws are farce.
There is never even petense of en-
forcoment. Houses of i'll repute. for
Example, sell Intoxicating drinks
without license every day and CIV.
cry night. And on the Sabbath as
well. Any one wishing to drink can
get all he wishes every Sunday sim
ply by paying an extravagant price.
And many do SO. This traffic is one
IF the corner-stones OF the vice upon
whose victims 1t preys. Madames
OF houses OF prostitution find 1t not
only POTABLE to ignore the law.
but very easy as well. So do those
who keep gambling rooms: So do
those who sell dope to fiends: so do
those who manage houses of assig-
nation, and SO do those who rent
realty for improper purposes. The
laws are not enforced. and yet, in
organizations which are striving to
sea that good comes out of evil. What
Is the matter! Wheeling Telegraph
