Keep Il paddock on your chicken
house and tie the dog inside it. The
Atlanta negro is going to have his
Christmas chicken even if he has to
buy it, but buying is his last resort"
That's the advice the county police
are giving suburban residents as Christ
mas approaches. Even as watermelon
on the Fourth Of July or as fried fish
in the springtime is the smell of chick
en- gravy at Christmas to the colored
contingent. Chicken fanciers who have
lost whole coops of prize winning birds
in other pre- holiday seasons are sit
ting up with shotguns between their
knees.
For several years there has 1ourished
in Atlanta and its envlrons a chicken
fancier known to sheriff and police as
Pesky Pope. Pesky is chicken con-
noisseur. He can tell a Buff Orpington
cockerel from a barred Wyandotte the
minute he tightens his grip around their
legs, and he can shut both eyes and
distinguish between a Brahma and an
Indian Game the instant he sinks his
teeth in the drumstick.
Some Chicken Eater!
Pcsky is accustomed to chicken three
times a day in the intervals when he is
not sojourning in the stockade, and is
known far and wide as a more danger
GUS pest than the roup, pip and all
other chicken epidemcs combined
During the last chicken show at the
Auditorium. Pesky coaxed ticket from
some one and roamed up and down the
aisles like o cat outside a canary cage,
his mouth watering for prize chicken.
THAT languid colored gentleman,
there by the bantam coop, holds the
distinction Of having eaten the highest
priced meal ever served in Atlanta"
said one OF the show directors, point
ing out Pesky to a group of visitors.
New York's lobster palaces are pikers
beside him.
Peskys $3.50 Breakfast.
ut was just after the first chicken
show given in Atlanta. All the prize
birds had been loaded into wagons,
ready for the express office, when that
negro happened along and took a look

The Way To Raise Chickens.
"Pesky they tell me you are the best

rector Tell us how you do it,"
"Well, sub" explained Pesky Ode
