perpetrated on our townsman H.
M. Weber: The boys gathered at

Fridav and beranto talk about bi
roosters. It Is wonderful what bir
roosters some ot them have seen.
Chas. Gifford said he was the owner
of the heaviest rooster ever put on
the scales and ventured to wager
that It woulg. weigh over twenty
pounds. The company part of the
establishment took him up and
stipulated that it should be no
turkey gobbler or anything- of that
kind." lItTs no turkev "-obbler."
savs Chas, Searle, and the bovs
ka twenty-four pound spring-
scale and repaired to the Gifford
stables to weigh the rooster. The
scales lacked angood many figures
of being- able to state the weight of
its canal and laterals In fine-
