THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.

Now and then among the brutali-
ties and crimes that form the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to u morbid nature
but gets in close to the primal love
of fight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling except of loathing in the case
of the secret assassination of six ltal-
ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes of fight are Latin in a country
of Anglo-Saxon %prejudices. But just
a week before, the press dispatches
from Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
a 'hard boss Doubtless he was!
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tie that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body OF Ia
borers that rushed" him. Had he
been armed with a revolver he would
have no sympathy, but he depended On
the first weapon at hand-a crowbar.
Backed against III embankment, he
withstood the combined attack of the
entire gang of laborers, all bent on his
murder, and armed, against him, with
picks, axes, and spades, in addition
to their knives. Repugnant as the idea
of killing may be, n can scarcely
help a thrill at the thought of the fore
man, Hayerly, at bay like a knight OF
former days, fighting for his life, and
SO sturdily and valiantly laying about
him, weapon for weapon, steel against
steel, until he stretched seven of his
a~ssailants dead before him and routed
tk5 rest. Haverly may be a brute and
a bully; he may have deserved what
the laborers, rising like desperate
slaves against a tyrant, had in store
for him. Yet, somehow, that is hard to
believe because the innate love for
combat in our nature challenges ad-
miration for a man who displays des-
perate courage and physical prowess.

Little CannibaIS.

Every once in a while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal-
istie habits among growing fowls. espe-
cially among those still in the days of
their early ~babyhood. This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
err difficult to control and suppress.
Usually it finds it's chief expression in
flocks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
for work and play in the hunt
ing of insects for food and in the care
full selection of such vegetable mat
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for a
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which ~engenders
vicious habits and a craving for some
thing to do as we'll as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows a wound or
effects of blood. the chances are that
one or two will at nee commence to
peek at it. which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
ing the little one into shreds, devour-
ing it before M has opportunity to re-
lieve its misery or to isolate 1t from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford the young
chicks a wider range and be more care
full in your feeding by making it a
point to Keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending a
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
peck at it: also supply in one form
another animal food. A good way
to do this is to take the underground
scratching chick feeds, which of them
are a balanced ration. and scat
ter the same in a litter of chopped
or hay, about one and one-half
two inches deep. In fact, anything
that will make a litter may be consid-
cred available.

on to another hunt.
1t opened much like the last. Late in

New Clothes for Easter.

The flowers with which many church
es are ornamented on Easter Day are
most probably emblems of the Resur-
rection. There are people today who
think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune
will come to them during the year
The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us
this quaint little verse in regard TO
this custom:
"Laste Easter l put on my blue frock
coat, the vust time, very new;

That glittered in the zun like glass;
Bekaize 'twer Easter Zunday.
