BROOD OF PEG-LEG CHICKENS.
Had Naturals Topped OR-Young
Surgeon Substitutes Match Stems.
(Atlanta Journal.)


A Piedmont avenue resident has
brood of young chickens, each with
a wooden leg.
No, the chicks did not kick out of
the shell with their wooden legs.
They were born with ordinary yellow
shins and long toes, but neighbor's
steel trap very soon amputated these
appendages on one side, and son of
the house, with tendency to sur
gerry, affixed the artificial substitutes.
He first tried crutches, he says, but
finding the chicks could not chase
bugs and grasshoppers on crutches
(the chicks, not the bugs and grass
hoppers, on crutches,) he clapped on
| the war veterans best friend, the
wooden leg.
rats, but one Of the inquisitive chicks
slipped under the fence and stepped
on the trigger. OF went the leg. He
hoped home on the other neverthe-
less, and shortly afterwards the ener-
getic young amateur surgeon found
him. Adhesive plaster and a match
|proved to be first aid to the injured
and pretty quick the little chick was
following his little sisters and bro
| theirs about the yard, stumping It
here and there wherever insects and
grain were to be found.
Nature fakirs like those President
Roosevelt is exposing SO vigorously
would say that this chicken soon
learned to turn up the sod and small
| stones with the wooden leg, but he
| did no such impossible thing. He
simply balanced himself on the arti-
| fetal leg and scratched as usual with
the natural member.
| The next day another of the brood
turned up minus leg. A in the
! first case, the ingenius boy got q
match and made new leg for 1t.
Then the sane thing happened to ano-
ther, and another, until 1t began to
look as though a feathereo battle of
| Gettysburg was taking place In the
neighborhood. The steel trap was al
work, all right, but the boy and his
parents didn't find 1t out until the
owner began to make inquiries In
the neighborhood as to whose chick.
ems were contributing so many legs
to his trap. Then 1t was too late
The whole brood had been shorn OF
a leg each.
cit shall not be said my chickens
haven't got leg left to stand on, y
said the young surgeon, as he pro-
ceeded with the job of making and
applying the pegs.
81 am going to send that boy to
the medical college," his father says
Such talent calls for encouragement
Why, the chickens never even squall-
ed once under the OPP ~ations."

,rhe Limit n9 Life

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted lin
itation of human life is many years
below the attainment possible with
the advanced knowledge Of which the
race is now possessed. The critical
period that determines its duration
SENS to be between SO and 60; the
proper care OF the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged,
carelessness then being fatal to lon
gevity. Natures best helper after SO

Selling Soft Drinks by the Ton.

The Wilson Bottling Company have
been for some time selling soft drinks
''by the ton" This at first glance
would seem to be peculiar mode of
selling bottled goods, but when the
facts are known 1t does not appear so
strange. There are a number Of GUS
toners Of the bottling works in the
mountains, and the teamsters from
the hill country haul by the ton. For
that reason the merchants send down
"to the bottling people for "a ton Of
drinks" and enough crates Of bot
tied goods are loaded to weigh 1000
pounds, and there is no question as
to hauling charges.

the death of her three children and
her husband and, finally, upon last

The attempt of the Electrical Work
ers' Union Local No. to invalidate by
legal methods it's suspension from the
Building Trades Council, which re-
suited from the trouble over the strike
ordered by the union without the coun-
cil's sanction, was resumed yesterday.

vent a trial of the union by the council
on charges which have been filed
against the former body was fled
The temporary injunction secured by
the union to prevent the carrying out
of the councils order of suspension,
passed on January 10, was dissolved by
Judge Seawell about ten days ago. No
new developments regarding the diff
ferences between the labor organiza-
tions occurred until February T. when
charges against the union were for
mally lodged with the Building Trades
Council and a trial ordered. The pres
ent suit is to prevent this trial. 1t is
alleged that the charges were not made
In conformity with the rules of the
council, as they were entered by a
