was a good sketch of the article. The
| clerk looked at the writing and at the
picture. Then shaking his head, wrote
again: 1--WE don't keep dog collars
here
Thoroughly disgusted. the man
started to walk away when the clerk
called to a fellow employee: please
wait on this customer. He's deaf and
dumb and 1 can't tell what he wants. y
Me deaf and dumb" exclaimed the
man as he halted in his establishment.
'Why-I thought that was what allied
youi Mutual explanations followed
and the purchase was made.
The prize buff Wyandotte cock
which was purchased by w. A. Forbes
has arrived from Ontario, Can. The
bird weighs eight and a quarter
pounds. The rooster has been award
ed several first premiums at the Can
ada poultry shows. Like other show
people, he was used to public gaze and
was exceptionally tame.
The following statement is said to
have been made by the chicken i'm
mediately upon its arrival:
"It seems good to get here safe and
sound. Yes, it is true that the Wyan-
dotte Indians were named after my
people. However, that does not give
me the enlarged head, and 1 never
make any crow about it. 1 enjoyed
show life exceedingly but it is rather
tiresome to be stared at by what are
termed rubber necks.' Then when the
judges are examining you it is rather
a nervous strain and rooster is liable
to become agitated and be marked
down for lack of self poise. So far I
am very much impressed with Amer
lea and North Topeka AS to the high
price of eggs caused by a sympathetic
strike among the hens, well, 1 think
the matter can be settled by arbitra-
ton.
What caused the strike? Do you
know very few have learned what was
at the bottom of the nest, so to speak?
Well, it is said that the lumber trust
was encouraging people to feed the
hens sawdust and this caused a fear
that chickens would be Matched with
wooden legs, or that the newly hatch
ed chicks would grow into wood peck
ers. The hens then decided to quit
that Bryan would have a show of be-
ing elected president of Canada, furth-
er than this I refuse to say"
w. H. Lambeth of 317 East Lau-
rent. formerly of Snodland, England,
recently received word from the old
country that times were very hard
there. Hundreds of people are out of
ting down. The mayor and council
men of Snodland are resorting to all
kinds of expedients to furnish en-
ployment. Quarries are being opened
and the men are being given tempor-
airy work in quarrying rock for the
roads. These roads are characters
tic of England. Mr.. Lambeth came
here from England about two years
ago. Snodland is about twenty-five
miles west of London.
