Looking Toward Better Poultry.

It is probable that some farmers

But there is no good reason why they
should not have a flock Of pure-bredal'
fowls. "A coop Of nice birds Of one ne

little more in the market, other things

Did you ever think Of it, brother.
that there are two ends to the Golden

even pull on both sides to elevate and
balance accounts according to equity

Brethren, always examine the goods
carefully you have shipped by railroad
before taking them out Of the station.
If they are damaged in part and you
are willing to take them, have the
railroad agent endorse on the freight
bill you pay the word damaged" BY
doing this you have document in the

merchant who ships you the goods to
recover damages, writes ]. l.. Collins

to their job in patronizing through the

the only way we will ever be able to

SHUT IN VAULTED HUMlD0R
Time-Lock Device Protecting 1900, 900
or So Choice Havanas Catches
Clerk Mapping.

Chicago.-Fred Rosenthal, cigar
clerk at 10 Monroe street, has always
loved the aroma of a good cigar, and
especially Of the imported variety, but
the aroma Of 100000 cigars which he
was forced to inhale for two hours the
other day has completely cured him
of his fancy.
At 2:30 o'clock the other afternoon
Rosenthal entered a new steel vault
holding 100000 cigars, which the II.
M. Schermerhorn company has had
recently installed in its store. AS he
stepped within, the automatic lock
sprung, closing the heavy double
doors and Rosenthal saw no hope but
to wait until the lock would automatic
ally open at the next morning.
In the meantime the patent humi-
doris which are installed in the vault
to keep the cigars most, worked over
time and filled the alright compart-
ment with the strong, damp fumes Of
the Havanas.
Rosenthal kicked on the door, but to
no avail, and the fumes began to make
his head spin around like q top. Be-
cause Of the confusion on the first
floor, when the afternoon trade was at
its height, no one paid any attention
to the young clerks knocks.
It was two hours later, when
Charles Link, the chief clerk, jour.
neyed up to the vault to procure a
particular brand Of imported "stogies,'
that he found the door locked and
heard faint noise within. He hur
riedly worked the combination and
threw open the door.
Forth stumbled Rosenthal, sallov
and pale, and he staggered as if in 6
drunken stupor. After a couple Of
hours rest on a couch in the Office he
was able to again resume his work
but feeling weak and faint And nov
the other clerks are kidding him with:
"Oh, you imported aroma"
