a whistler story- THREE DOLLARS
The Eagle That Wad Made to Pose 88
a Fighting Cock
Apropos of something Whistler once
told a cockfight story so vividly that
only a man with a sailor instinct could
tell it ns well mimic It so keenly and
enjoy It so thoroughly It was a story
of a strange species of the American
cock pictured to the smallest detail so
beautifully that one forgot that it was
a story
Some American sailors were at a
cockfight In a seaport town In Eng
land when one of them remarked to
the owner of the champion
We have got an American cock on
board that can whip any bird here
Go fetch iin on said the champion
Chuck Mm in and see If e licks one
bird we ave plenty more to throw in
that can lick hany blawsted llainerl
can bird you can fetch ere
All right Well bring one said the
sailors When they got aboard they
rigged up an American eagle After
their own manner they painted trim
med spliced and reefed fore and aft
transforming the eagle to a cock When
ready they went ashore to pit their
new American gamecock against all
England
At the pit the sailors chucked In
their cock which looked around for
other surprises as he backed close to
the wall
Now bring on your birds ylled
the sailors A strutting o1 was
thrown Into the pit and w
surprise to the poor disinantu il aglc
He backed up closer and closer to the
wall wondering what would happen
next The cock walked three times
majestically around the circle culling
at his strange opponent the ongle piti
ably abashed and bcdrahbled crouch
ing lower and lower and looking
around and above him for an explana
tion of what it all meant while the
crowd were yelling madly for the
English fighter The eagle made him
self smaller and smaller but at last
finding that he could get back no fur
ther and thinking that something was
expected of him and as the cock
dashed at him again stretched out his
long claws and took his opponent by
the neck
Here Whistler ended with an imita
tion by motions of what the eagle did
He stretched out his arm shaped his
hand like a claw which by this time
looked like a real one drew it to his
mouth and with one bite pulled off
the head as he thought an eagle might
do it Then he looked blandly about
the room as the eagle had done at the
astonished crowd and said Now bring
The Science of Chemistry
Chemistry did not become a science
in other words chemistry proper did
not exist until the seventeenth cen
tury and it was as late as the middle
of the eighteenth century before it be
gan to amount to much The old al
chemy undoubtedly contained the
germs or at lease the possibilities of
the present day chemistry but beyond
this the relationship between the mod
ern science and the ancient delusion is
slight indeed Still it cannot be de
nied that it was in the foolish search
for the Philosophers Stone and the
Elixir of Life that men first hit upon
the discoveries which were destined
to develop into the great science of to
day New York American
The Sarcastic Cabby
The London bobby is notorious for
overgrown feet and hands Likewise
the London cabby is generally ac
credited with never being at a loss for
a reply One day a bobby lifted up
his hand majestically to halt a cabby
but the latter crowded his horse ahead
Didnt you see me raise my and
demanded the bobby
I did see the sky darken a moment
but my orse was shyin at your feet
retorted the cabby as he whipped up
and went on London Graphic
The Danes and the Raven
Perhaps the Danes selected the raven
for their standard out of feelings of
gratitude for before the Invention of
the mariners compass they must have
found him extremely useful The only
method of determining whether land
was near was to let loose a raven If
the bird saw land he sailed away for
ever if he did not he returned to the
ship London Chronicle
Equally Culpable
I can say for myself that I never
have been mean enough to get another
womans cook away from her
Neither have I but I must confess
that once or twice I have tried to work
our cook off on some of my neighbors
Shut Him Off
What are you taking for your cold
Nothing
Nothing But my dear fellow
Nothing I say not even advice
