If the question of who is the high
est official of the United States gov
eminent were asked almost anyone
anywhere would promptly answer
1.-The president" and expect to go to
the head of the class. But they
wouldn't be right, that is, not in one
sense. The highest government Off
cial in Washington is Charles
Rented, the guard at the TOP of the
Washington monument. His place is
five hundred and fifty feet above the
ground. and he has held this high
position for twenty-five years.

HOW TO HOLD A CHICKEN.
Head Down or Head Up, It's All
the Same.

New York. April 12.-Magistrate Cor
Ligan, sitting in the Harlem Police Court
was called upon to determine what is
the proper way to carry a chicken.
John jackson. a bricklayer, was hailed
into court by an agent of the Humane
Society. who held that Jackson's way of
carrying the bird head downward con-
stituted cruelty to animals. The magis-
trate was inclined to side with jackson,
but the Humane Society agent declared
that a chicken always should be carried
head up.
Let's see what the chicken thinks
about it, said the magistrate.
His honor held the fowl in both posi-
tions but the bird merely winked and
seemed to enjoy itself in either position.
Pshaw." said his honor. THE pris-
oner is discharged. Here's your chicken.

carrying the chicken head downward.
