KIPPY.

/ thought it might interest you to
hear about my pet chicken Kippy.
Father brought her home to me for
an Easter present. When we turned
down the cover of the box there was
the fullest, downiest little chicken I
ever saw. The man had given father
some food for her, and we gave her
some of It, When she had gotten
used to our house we let her out and
put her in larger box, with netting
over the front. Every morning, when
she would hear my voice, she would
pick and pick at the netting until we
let her out Then she would hope on
my finger, run up on my arm, on to
my shoulder and cuddle up in my
curls.
AS she grew larger the box got too
small for her, and as we had large
space under the back porch we put
her in there. We put a broomstick
up for perch. Sometimes it would
tall down, and then she would come
TO the kitchen window and tap for the
girl to put it up again.
We were going away the next sum
mer, and as she was getting trouble
some we gave her to man who kept
chickens. The last | heard Of her
she had grown spurs and they had
to kill her.-Leontine Northrup, in

Montgomery is getting to be quite

This is due very greatly Nto the fact
that An every direction good roads lead

NY loaded are easily drawn over them
Wv teams which In the era Of mud and
bottomiess holes could scarcely go one
mile an hour with one-fifth the load
now hauled without discomfort hve
to eight miles per hour. Every acre Of
land near these roads has increased
III value. and the wagon trade is again
getting to be an item like 1t was be-
fore we had railroads.
SO far only one county Immediately
sontiguous to Montgomery has mani
tested interest in new roads to the ex-
tent Of investing money in them and
that is the county of Pike. Some Of
the people of Montgomery would no
