BARNARD BROOD ESCORTS con-
DUCTOR FROM HIS TRAIN
Led BY Rooster, AT These Plymouth
Rocks Know the Siren Of His
Engine.

Pittsburgh, June 25.-Headed by q
big cock, a flock of fine Plymouth
Rock chickens march from their yard
every evening to meet their owner, j.
~ Armstrong, railroad conductor,
when his train on the Wabash Rail-
road comes into Rock Station, a sub
urb of this city. They then es-
cort Armstrong home, the big rooster
leading the procession, marching by
the side OF their owner In single file.
Dozens OF people, attracted by the
remarkable intelligence and actions
of the Plymouth Rocks, watched last
night to discover how the feathered
tribe knew when il was time for their
master to appear.
AT 8 O'Clock an ear-splitting whistle
sounded on the railroad. The big
cock threw up his head, while the
hens stood at attention After listen
ing a moment the cock contentedly
resumed scratching. AT 6.1S o'clock
another long-drawn siren sent its
noise down the valley. This time.
the big rooster quickly marshaled his
hens about him, and, vending their
way to the depot, met Armstrong,
and with fiuttering OF wings and
cackles OF delight proudly escorted
him home.
Armstrong says: 'I believe in the
Darwinian theory, and 4 know

The Cause OF Many Unhappy Mar
riages.

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion-Which Is called THE Brides
Number Z. Jefferson writes
an interesting article entitled, In
Their New Home" 1t is a sort of
friendly talk to young married people.
In the following extract taken from
the article he explains why some mar
riages turn out badly:
TT takes two hearts to build n
home. No woman can build home
by herself. Husband and wife must
collaborate In this difficult piece OF
work. Many men do not realize this
They assume that all a woman wants
IL house. III they pay the bills,
nothing more, they think, ought to be
expected. They wrap themselves up
In their business, take their recrea-
tons with their male companions, and
then wonder why eyes which were
once radiant are now sad. 1t liz be-
cause they think a house can take
the place of home In woman's
heart that many men are unspeakably
cruel to the women whom they have
promised before God and man to cher
ish until death. III the husband. feel

loved before she was married, follow

Ing no effort to enter into the life and
ambitions Of her husband, no home
will grow up inside or that house, and
two more members will be added to

the things which are seen. We lay
the blame on low wages, or ON poor

On the industrial order, while all the
time the trouble lies deeper. IT lies III

not seen which are responsible for
our woes 1t IL out of the heart that
proceed the destructive forces which
tear homes to pieces. If marital hap
piness depends on good wages and
elegant houses, then why are the di-

Easy For The Detective.

Conspicuous ON the end of the
counter in the little cigar shop was a
brand new, highly ornate cigar light
er made. OF heavy bronze. 1t was the
type which has a wire rod sheathed
in a phial of alcohol, from which the
rod is drawn and dipped in a jet of
fire.
So proud was the cigar maker or
the new fixture that he pointed 1t out
to every customer with special cour-
tesy.
While thus engaged one evening
recently he was Mortified to discover
that the wire rod with its beautiful
bronze handle was missing.
1T was here moment SINCE" he
declared TO a man who was waiting

exclaimed the customer, III find that
a knowledge of the human inclination
to do many trifiing things uncon-
sciously is Of value. In the pres
ent case force OF habit caused your
last customer to throw away the cigar
lighter after using 1t precisely as il il
were a match. He did it without
thinking. He threw the rod either to
the right or left, after lighting his
cigar, according to the hand he used.
Now, the rod was not on the floor

THE LAWYERS FABLE
III Took the Sting Out OF His Oppo-
nent's FlOrid OratOry.

4 barrister who was possessed OF
an abnormally loud voice was max
ing an eloquent address to jury. His
case was fairly strong; he was much
In earnest, and his trumpet tones
made the rafters ring. In a. hurri-
cane Of sound he closed his argument
and sat down. The jury looked seri-
GUS and thoughtful and were evident
ly much impressed. The opposing
barrister had a face like a Ratchet
and thin low voice-the exact OPP
posite of his learned friend. When
it became his turn to address the
jury he began:

derous appeals OF my learned friend

my youth. A lion and an ass entered
into compact to Stay the beasts of
the field and share the spoil. They
divided the work; the ass was to 70
into the thicket and bray and fright
en- the animals out and the lion was
to lie In wait and kill the fugitives as
fast as they appeared. Well, the ass
sought the darkest part of the jungle
and, lifting up his awful voice, bray
ed and brayed and brayed. There
never was heard such a fearful din.
The ass was quite intoxicated
with his own up road and thought
he'd return to see what the lion
thought Of It. With light heart he
went back and found the lion looking
doubtfully about him, pale ID the face
and trembling In every limb. What
do you think OF that for braying?'
said the eXultant ass. Don't you
