There has been during the last few
years a good deal of discussion as to
the origin of the Lakenfelder Calso
spelled Lakenvelder) fowl. By some 1t
is asserted that this bird was devel-
oped in the middle districts of France
by repeated crosses Of what are now
known as Blue Andalusians and Black
Minorcas with the common fowls Of
the section, much as the Rhode Island
Reds were the result of constant intro
auctions of Buff Cochin and the old
Shanghai blood. The more reasonable
view. however, is that the Lakenfelder
is really the native fowl of Belgium.

originally, it is certain that he deserves

say General Grant"
But the youth, quite unabashed, re-
forted aptly:
''Not at all. Do we say General
Alexander or General Napoleon?"

which provides that any man who is
lured into marrying woman who has
by artificial means enhanced her beau
ty may, if he wishes, have the mar
riage declared null and --oid. That is
to say, if the bridegroom discovers
that the bride is compelled when she
goes to bed to hang any of her sup
posed charms upon chair he may
consider himself free to wed again"

recognizing the wisdom of God, who
decreed it, the widow and four chill
dren of Hartwig Langmann make
known to their relatives and friends
the entry into eternal rest of a beloved
husband and father. There will be no
Grafton at his bier, because no words
could describe his worth or make our
sorrow less. Flowers from those who
share our grief should not be sent, be-
cause the custom was distasteful to
him who has gone. If a desire to show
such a mark of respect exists let it
find expression in gifts TO the poor,
whose thanks we shall echo in the
firm knowledge that the act would find
favor with him whose life was good
