STOOD FOR EVERYTHING
BUT M'GRAW'S BULL ROAR

John McGraw doesn't think
much of himself as an actor.
While stopping at a certain hotel
recently he saw fit to exercise his
vocal powers early one morning
with the result that the manager
of the hostelry took him severely
to task.
Look here, McGraw," snort
ed the boniface, 81 don't mind the
fellow who grunted like a pig,
and l can put up with the boob
who crowed like a rooster; yes,
l can even stand for the mistaken
individual who barked like a dog,
but I'll be darned if I'll stand
for a guy who woke up all my
guests by roaring like bull"

Michael Feeney Got Job for Sixteen Rea

v ANSAS CITY, Mo.-There were
N sixteen reasons why Michael
Feeney, 3O31 West Prospect, should
receive the appointment of fireman at
the county home from the county
court, aIi the judges were unani-
nous on that exact number; so Mr..
Feeney got the appointment
The sixteen reasons were the six
teen children Of Feeney. Neither of
the three judges ever saw nor heard
of Feeney before his name and his
family record was brought before them
and they didn't ask for any political
Endorsements.
The court was not alone in doing
the graceful and proper thing. Barney
Kelly, who also hailed from the Emer-
aid Isle, received the appointment
two days ago. He needed the job. he
told the court.
But Mike Feeney, who has sixteen
children. needs it worse, and If 1t is
all right with your honors l will step
aside and let him have the place" the
very gracious Mr.. Kelly informed the
court by special messenger.
"It is more than agreeable with me
to give the place to Mr.. Feeney,"
Judge Gilbert announced.

Boarder Picks Up Pig, But 1t Is Denied Home

Mr.. Pig and marched up to the house
confidently, only to be met by the
woman's point-blank refusal to house
the pig for even a minute.
Il will not have any dirty pig in the
housed" she declared wratfully. Rouse
NIT uni"
Retzlach was disappointed. He saw
visions of a good reward for finding
the pig, and 1t was against his frugal
nature to give up a chance without a
struggle. He wished then he was mar
ried, so that he might assert his
rights as head of the house and, II he
chose, keep the pig all night in the
parlor or, for that matter, the bed
room. But being bachelor and only
a roomer, he had to yield.
The old Eighth ward school building
is located nearby, and so is the Croa,
tian church. Retzlach tried to put the
pig in the cellar of both these build
ings, bur every door and window was
closed tighter than a miser's purse
strings. Then he thought of caves he
had heard of in the steep bluff back of
the house, but long search failed to
revail a place to quarter his prize.
Finally, in desperation, he carried the
pig to the stockyards on Herrs island,
a mile away.

"Gazipe," Latest Term for Wood Pile Denizen

With difficulty restraining his emo
ton. Councilman Leahy asked:
What is-what is this-ah-hum-
this, ah-?"
"Gazipe?" snapped Tate.
Yes. What is a gazipe?"
We'll. don't know that l can ex-
plain it to you clearly.N
How do you spell it?"
"You don't spell it. You look for 1t.
l don't know that it has ever been
spelled, but 1t has been pronounced a
million times" said Tate.
WELL" said Leahy, lin order that II
may be placed on the official records
and in the files of" the municipal IL
brary we will spell it g-a-z-i-p-e. Now
what is it?"
Well" said Tate. "I have heard
theatrical people use It very often, hut
/ don't think 1t is known outside OF
the profession. When an actor signs
a contract with a manager he always
reads it over several times to look for
the gazipe, the little thing which, II
left in there. will cause the actor to
get the worst of it."
One of the committeeman suggested
that gazipe was something like "a
nigger in the woodpile."
Very much like it" said Tate.
"Oh. / see," said Leahy. "It's 9
Joker a 'stinger.'"

Il will treble the agreeable part on

ley. and Mr.. Feeney was appointed
fireman at the countyNbome at a sal
airy Of $125 a month.
THAT beats what he is getting now
and is a better job" Feeney's friend
informed the court ITS the first
time Feeney's services in this world
have been given public recognition"
'If any Judge ever thinks of having
Feeney removed as fireman" Judge
Gilbert said, "all he viii have to do is
to bring that family of his into court.
All the politicians in Jackson county
couldn't beat that combination"

The gazipe made its debut at spe-

committee of the city council for an
audience. II was presented by the
atrical manager, Frank r. Tate. The
appearance of the gazipe was unan-
uounced and it created a sensation.
Discussing the pending bill which
would require all st. Louis theaters to
comply with the building and fire pro-
lection laws as amended in 1907, Man

Fehr, called the sergeant-footman, and

"Hiley, you've been eating onions!"

master, instinctively recoilins.
Yes, you have; It's disgraceful."
The courier then entered the room
and approached very YEARLY. but his

possible cause for the mortality, you
most begin to look elsewhere. This
narrows itself down to one of two
causes-improper feeding or lack OF
exercise. Now test for the food cause.
Change your conditions of feeding
radically and note the result. II the
cause is not from the feeding, 1t must
be from lack of exercise. Correct
this by supplying them with proper
amount of this requisite.
Simply finding your chicks dead in
the brooder in the morning when they
are all crowded in corner is not
sufficient proof that they died from
too low a temperature. Sick, weakly
and indisposed chicks will always hud-
die together whether they are cold or
not
They will not huddle together, how
ever, should the temperature be ex-
cessively high, in which event they
will spread apart, and when found
dead will usually be lying on their
breasts. This condition, however, is
seldom noted, as it takes very high
temperature to cause them to spread
apart and to cause their death.

BREED POULTRY FOR RESULTS
Difficulty In Mating Unrelated Birds
10 to Find Strains With Like
characteristics.

Few people realize the advan-
tages of breeding together unrelated
birds. Every time they are mated q
decided improvement is had in their
young, in exhibition and utility quail
tiles, size and extreme hardness"
The above statement was made by
E. r. Philo Of New York, a man
who has done much experimenting
along the line Of breeding.
Line breeding Is dangerous unless
thoroughly understood, and the
work of years can be demolished In
q very short time. As above stated,
