Rooster Fiuhts Doos.

1t is not often that barnyard fowl
attains neighborhood popularity, but
such IL the case with q large Masss-
chusetts red rooster belonging to
Charles Davis Of 4416 st. John avenue.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Davis was At
tracted to his barnyard by the whines
OF half-grown setter pup he 10 train
ing. He found that the dog had been
driven into a corner. and was being
savagely attacked by the big cock, and
before he could interfere In behalf of
the pup It had been pretty heavily
marked by the ROSTERS spurs.
Since that time Red" ~ he has
come to be called, has become neigh.
borhood bully. and refuses to allow
pigs or dogs to come within the
grounds under his rule. Curiously
enough. dogs will not fight back. but
actually run from his assaults. Az for
game cocks. he has probably thrashed
more Of them than any other bird In

Women on Russian Railroads.

The number of women employ I'D on
the Russian railroads is increasing.
According to the latest returns, there
are now working on the 20 Russian
state railways no fewer than $4,000
women as gatekeepers. clerks, tele.
graphers, etc. The average wage varies
from 1870 to 1876 rubles yearly ($65 to
500. The extremes are great. Thus
the women clerks receive on an aver.
age from $50 to 46o rubles. or about
$3.50, while the women attending at
the station get only 40 rubles, or about
$3.50 a year. III addition to free lodg
