once and a little bit to the soft-pedal.
not knowing just how effective the
protest of the washington Protective
Poultry Association eventually would
be.
Protests Are Loud.
There was no verbatim reporter pres

70 that the rooster read numbered forth
last night when the association met III
the Offices of the Poultry and Chicken
Sanitary Feed Company. Soue thirty
odd indignant chicken owners were
present and It was Immediately ap-
parent that a great craving existed in
r1issioners and Health Officer Wood
ward. instead Of the ROSTERS and hens.
In fact, some of the members confided
this much in the storm Of debate.
There is no doubt that The rooster
clans are receiving re-enforcements.
The tariff makers in their darkest days
never had such plain things said about
them as did the District powers that
be" last evening. The alleged failings
OF the triumvirate and the Health De-
partment, from the chicken owners
standpoint. were so clearly explained
that it was almost like a moving picture
show.
The new association had to have d
president, according TO y. p. stone,
temporary chairman. William Gaddess
accepted the honor BY taking seat I'M

The movauts glared at one another in

Sure. let's &C about this thing right.
We've got a fight on our hands II we

Motion Overruled.
Then while tney were talking about
a dollar, a fellow arose from the rear
and sprang the sensation OF the even
ing. It was nothing else than that if
the ROSTERS tongues were cut out they
would come within the pale Of the law.
Some Of the members gazed in his dfrec-
ton with look of pity, others showed
indignation.

Pritchlynn, who has a number OF pet

chickens talk to me Just as children
would; Cut their tongues out? Never.

The dollar contribution was revived
again. The president suggested that
the meeting adjourn until next Friday.
when definite policy for waging war
on the Commissioners can be formed.

short gentleman who hadn't mad much
Of the spotlight.

Discovery of Cliff Dwellings.

Flagstaff, Oct. K (SpeciaD - Or. J. Walter Fewkes Of the
 Bureau of American Ethnoiogy. Washington, D. C., has just re- turned to Flagstaff from a trip 10 the Navajo Indian reservation
 where he went for the purpose o
 exploring certian cliff dwellings
 which had been reported being O
 more than ordinary interest Ster- hen Janus, superintendent of the
 Indian agency at Tuba, accom- panied Dr. Fewkes from that point, and together they visited several canyons in the extreme northern portion of Navajo coun- ty that have been seen by very few white men. In fact, so little s known of this particular regior that even many of the Indians did not know of the existence of cliff dwelling there.
 Dr. Fewkes states that he and MT. Janus found Q large number of dewellings in various stages of ruin, and that in one canyon they discovered some unusually large dwellings in an excellent state of preservation. The doctor pronounces these the best pre- served and among the largest of any in the United States, and an effort will be made to have them designated as a national monu- ment, and cared for under govern ment supervision. These cliff dwellings although about 200 miles from Flagstaff are best reached from this point, and the road is fairly good to within a few miles of them, with water holes at convenient intervals and an excellent spring at the dewell- in gs.

Two Scheresiaiy GirIs
 Want Arizona Husbands.

The young women of Schenect- ady, N r., rightnow. just on tn eve of stat hood, are trying to convert the government of th territory of Arizona into Q matr
 aonial bureau. They have writ ten high territorial official COZ corning 9 delicate matter II which they say We could helr you out as well as ourselves. It has been their understand. ing that there is a great demand for marriageable women in Ar zona; that that are cattlemen anC miners longing for mates. whcI none are to be had except InQIal maidens. They offer to meet this demand or at east to lessen it a f4r as two girls can.
 They ask the territorial govem . nent to bring this matter to the
 ttention of the right kind of young men to the end that 9 cor raspondence may be established which may lead to matrimony.
 The specifications are notnumeI- 3ar or difficult. It is not neces- sary that the young men should possess great wealth or any at al that is. nothing is said abo hat, but boards. and mustache
 re barred. They must be of ' 1edium height and build anC

A SENSATION THAT FAILED. In the department of Pearsons's- Weekly of England known as ''The Editors Note b 0 o k, " there recently appeared the fol lowing story of an editor of 2 New York paper, who called a reporter to him. and said,
 " Iwant you to write me a good story about the trials and discouragements of men wh 0 zare looking for work in a big city. Get up early tomorrow, put on old clothes, and visit all places that advertise for male Eelp in the morning paper Give an account of the number of applicants and the kind of men they are, describe vividly the feelings of those who per haps have had no breakfast and have walked miles because they have no money to ride, and then meet disappointment. Draw 1t good and strong on the pathos. People like to read that sort of things"
 At noon the next day the re- porter appeared at the office crestfallen. 'I'm afraid I can't make any thing out of that story" he said to the editor.
 What is the trouble?"

"Whst, in your opiuion, is the reason
why men are not as interested in religi-
ous matters as women?
"Whst, in your opinion, is the reason
why 80 few labOriug meu are to be found
10 the churches Is the fault with the
men or the CHURCHES?
"Iu your dealings with men have you
found protesting Christians noblsr 10
cbsrScter than self-respecting non Chris

"Can q man, in your opinion, govern
bis life by the highest Christian ideals
and vet succeed la present.dsy busi-
ness?
"Do you believe that the Bible is from
God and that 1t is the supreme guide OF
our lives? II 30, why do you 90 believe?
If not, viii you give your reasons?
"Tbe churches are often criticised for
excIusiveness and selfshness. Gan you
soggest wsys in which the churches
