CHICKEN RACES.
The Ridiculous Hen Derby" insti-
tuted by Sir John AstIey.

II is said that the browning triumph
of Sir John Ashley, that inventor OF
absurd contests. whose forte IL was "a
arrange races between animals which
nature apparently had made most I'M
suitable for the purpose. was the in
stitution of the only races that ever
took place between chickens
The story is that the idea came 10
Sir John ddring visit 10 friend who
kept a large number of hens. He no.
ticed how rapidly the chickens used to
scurry to their mother when food was
thrown to her This furnished the in.
genious Sir John with clever notion,
and at mess. he then being quartered
at Windsor. he accordingly unfolded
to his brother officers his plans for a
great chicken race.
He bought from farmer hen and
a brood of chickens Each officer was
to choose a chicken and mark Ii with
a ribbon, so that he could easily recog.
nize IT, The chickens were TO be placed
about ffty yards away from their
ulOlUeT, anu NulCutNeT VI tueiu TedCneu
her first in answer TO her cackle when
food was thrown to her was TO be ad-
judged the winner
And so this ridiculous "hen Derby"
came Off in the barracks at Windsor
and was witnessed by nearly the whole
brigade of guards, who travelled down
from London especially TO see it.
The race was such a success that II
was arranged to repeat it the follow
ing week 1t might possibly have be-
come a regular institution and rae
ing stable Of chickens might have been
added to the attractions at Windsor
had not Sir Johns chicken won on
each occasion With such ease as TO
cause suspicion in the minds OF his
competitors. Indeed, 1t was found, it
is said. that in both races Sir John had
selected a sturdy young cockerel who
was much too speedy for his sisters
When victory was certainty for one
particular competitor the contest, of
course, lost interest. and so the chicken
races at Windsor came to sudden
end.-New York Herald.

Some Famous Personases to Whom u
Meant Nothing.
The making famous of the express
sion 81 am my own ancestor is usual
ly credited to Andoche Junot for Il
time a marshal of France. Junot had
risen from the ranks and became the
Duke Of Abrantes and an important
figure at Napoleon's newly formed
court. One day a nobleman OF the old
regime asked him what was his ances-
try "Ah. sir replied the spirited sol
der, 81 know nothing about it. | am
my own ancestor" Probably he had
never heard Of the similar remark
made by Tiberius about Curtius Ru.
fus. "He seems to me TO be descended
from himself"
Napoleon's reply to the emperor OF
Austria was in a kindred vein. The
Austrian when Napoleon became his
prospective son-in-aw would fain have
traced the Bonaparte lineage to some
petty prince Of Treviso. 81 am my
own Rudolph of Hapsburg," said Ma
poleon. Under similar circumstance
Napoleon silenced a senealogist,

tory.
When Ipchrates, the Athenian gen
eral, had 1t cast up in his face by a
descendant of Harmodius that be was

Turner had matured II purpose which
continued to be his dominant idea
while life lasted. This was to be-

object that he denied himself all pleas

LEGISLATIVE TANGnE.
Interesting Fight Of Two Small Town
Over County Seat.

Interesting Fight Of Two Small Towns
Over County Seat.
Washington.-War over the location
of the country seat of Sierra county,
, New Mexico. being appealed to con-
gress, brought to Washington an in
teresting little story Of a legislative
tangle. For % years the county seat
has been at Hillsboro, county metrop-
oils. population 500. A Mexican was
elected to the legislature and pro-
ceeded forewith, it is alleged, to intro
duce useless and foolish" bills. One
proposed tax on bachelors. Anoth-
er offered a bounty on jackrabbits
which would have bankrupted every
county in New Mexico, according to
testimony before the senate commit
tee on territories.
| The Mexican submitted a bill to
change the county seat to Cutter, in
the desert. at the edge of the county.
Hillsboro is near the center of the
county. Cutter has population of
"a, including the employees of min
ing country 1t Is flag station on
the railroad in the Jornada del Muer-
te (Journey Of Death.)
| Cutter has two main buildings. One
Is owned by mining company and a
witness told the Beveridge committee
that perhaps the movement to shift
the county seat was partly due to a
desire to sell this building to the coun-
/ ty for court house. With regard to
/ the other structure Edward D. Titt-
man from Hillsboro, who appeared be-
fore the senate committee said:
THAT is the saloon building which
Governor Curry laid the foundation
for and spoke in glowing terms of the
future of this great metropolis of
Cutter"
The bill, in order to make Cutter
seem to be further in the interior of
the county, provided for the addition
of a strip Of desert land to be taken
from Socorro county. The latter was
to be paid $4,000 for this 'barren
stretch of sand" and an alleged debt
of ancient vintage. The bill was we'll
along toward passage before the peo-
pie of Hillsboro learned Of the i'm
pending calamity. A friendly cattle
man who happened, to be in Santa
Fe heard of it and wired them tip
A delegation rushed to the capital.
They could not prevent the passage
of the bill by the legislature but II
was killed by veto inflicted by the
governor.
Triumphantly they returned to
Hillsboro and gleefully pealed the
deep toned court house bell. But
hold; little did they reck of the activ-
ity of their enemies, Even before the
delegation had finished shaking hands
with the congratulatory townspeople
the result had been reversed. It seems
that after they left that town another
bill to transfer the county seat hat
been rushed through and this hat
been signed by the governor. Blu
laws do not count in the territorie
unless they have the approval Of con
gress. Hillsboro carried the fight t,
Washington and won it few days ag
. when the senate, at Beveridge's re
quest, unanimously sat down on tn
, bill. 1t is dead, now, as a came,
mackerel Hillsboro, with the Unite,
J States senate on its side, standing ou
/ there with pride and dignity, will re
tain forever the prestige and eminenc
of being the county seat of the coun
ty Of Sierra New Mexico, Unite
