Chickens of All Descriptions
Are Seen.

Speaking of chickens, have you
seen those on Michigan St?
Now just a moment please! There
is no need to get peeved at that for
in truth no joke was intended. 1t all
had reference to the sure enough
chickens which are all gathered to-
gether in one place on S. Michigan
Nos. 315-19 S. Michigan. TO be pre-
else.
If one cannot read numbers one can
nevertheless find the place by follow
ing the sound, for up and down Mich
igan st. and along the byways is
waited on the wings of the snow the
unmistakable melody of the barnyard.
1t will be well to pay heed to the strid-
ent challenge of the kings of the
roost. If business interferes with at
tendance on the chicken show then
cut out the business.
There are many who have seen
chickens before, and pigeons, and
turkeys, and ducks, and geese but.
IL is estimated that thus far Az per
sons have seen, for the first time,
fresh eggs. Eggs laid while you wait.
But one must be satisfied with a look,
for alert and trusted attaches only
are permitted to touch the priceless
treasures which are seized from the
coOps and are placed under guard
in secret places.
Two Floors of Chickens
Now there are two whole floors
given over almost entirely to chickens
AMI one may walk up and down and
around and see birds that are mar
velOusly fat and marvelously clean and
marvelOuSly cOlOred. One does we'll

es and speaks thus, What beautiful
chickens do wonder what kind
they are?" there ensueS Immediately
a rush from the trenches and one is
surrounded and captured and con-
quered-. Well if one lives in a flat
and goes home with SAT worth of
beautiful chickens" what is one go
ing to do with them?
One must go TO this show because 1t
is the stylish thing TO do if for no
other reason. If one is spOrtively in
Clined il affords at least q modicum of
satisfaction to watch and TO wonder
what the chances for sport would be
if each and every pugnaciouS red
rooster, and green rooster, and white
rooster and every game cock and every
fussy bantam were to be released at
once and permitted to enter the lists
as each and every one seeks vainly
hour after hour TO do.
What's to be Seen.
IT is easy after all to get a dimes
worth Of relaxation and pleasure out
of the chicken show if one can 20
with ones mind freed to everything
except imagination and a dash of SEN
timent- See the big too loose" geese
that isn't the way their name is
spelled but they look as if that is the
way il should be spelled. See tho
handsome peacock-the very one
which posed for the pictures which
used to hang on the wall in grand
mothers house.
And then there is the goat with his
head harnessed) and the rabbits. But
there is no need to enumerate further.
Even goats and rabbits are interest

pink ears and a long purple tall
