ENGLANp's NATIONAL BIRD.

and the festooned goose have been
chased from King Edwards round ia
bic by this festive bird. Notwith-
standing his Roman ancestry the Dork-
ing is preferred by John Bull to his
proverbial roast beef. He is a juicy
bit, and the fellow who eats the bird
with English stuffing, backed up by
English plum pudding apd saffron cake,
may well imagine he is in chicken
heaven.
Dorkings are distinguished by an ex-
ira toe, white flesh and shanks. What
they lack in height they more than
make up in weight.

His war clarion Is heard at Concord

top Of Bunker hill monument to crow
to hungry nation that he has come
to lick and be licked.

illness is Of nature that might be
reasonably expected in a man his
age.

Lakewood several weeks following an
attack of illness which began at
Princeton.
At II o'clock this morning It was
learned that Ex-Presldent Cleveland
was suffering from an attack OF
stomach trouble and was not quite
so well as he was yesterday He
has had similar attacks in the past
and 1t has always been his custom
to leave his home at Princeton for
Lakewood where his recovery is con.

the climate. He Is attended In his
present Illness by Dr. Guademler NJ
