A nnOKEN-HKAUTKD CHICKEN.
A Susquehanna man had made a pet
of a chicken o'f the Plymouth Hock
variety, nvery motulng In coming out
of tho house, the young man brought
with him a handful of ctumbs, or of
grain, or something that chickens like;
and little by little his featheied pet
acquired tho habit of follow Inn him
about the premises. In a little glove
near the house theie Is a bench, When
the young man reaches the bench he
Invnilablv seated himself, and tho
fowl, Jumping up to his side, picked
the food from his hand and was petted
by being stroked on the head and back.
This had gone on for quite a long
time, when the young man left home.
For the first day or two tho chicken
seemed not to be Inconsolable over the
loss of Its friend, but took Its food with
the rest. After a few days, however,
tho fowl seemd to become1 aware that
Its friend was not coming back, and
It was seined all at once with nn un
conquerable melancholy. It llngeied
morning after morning under the win
dow of the house, as If waiting" for Its;
master to tome out. Finally It betook
Itself to the bench wheie Its master
used to sit and f"d It. and theie It
leinalned, Its head under Its wing,
almost motionless, day and night. It
was useles i to tiv and tempt It with
food. The chicken lcfused to look at
the must tempting hatidtulls of gialn
or dough whin they weie tin own b
foie It. Its eyelids weie closed, and itf
Intention to die ot hunger was so evi
dent that It was denied meielfiil to
kill it. It got the ae.
Tin: wons of a kiontcckian.
The following lloitlet appeals to be
npptopiInK Just now :
"Man born In the wilds ot Kentucky
is of feud da.vs and easy v little. He
tisheth. tlddleth, euweth, and llghteth
all the dajs of his life.
"He shunneth water like n mad dog
and diinketh much moonshine.
"When he deslieth to raise hell he
planteth a neighbor, and In he icap
eth twenty fold.
"He inlseth even fiom his cradle to
seek the scalp of his giandslies enemy,
and bilngeth home In his carcass the
ammunition of bis neighbor's wife's
cousin's, uncle's, father-in-law, w ho
avengeth the dead.
"Yea veilly, his life Is unceitaln and
he knoweth not the hour when he may
be called hence.
"He goeth forth on a jouinev bait
shot and cometh back on a shutter
shot.
"He riseth In the night to let the
cat out, and It taketh nine doctois
thiee das or one doctor twenty-seven
days to pick the buck-shot fiom his
pet son.
"He goeth In joy and uladness. and
cometh back in sciaps and fragments.
"He ealleth his fellow -man a liar,
and getteth him self tilled with scrap
Iron, even unto the fouith generation.
"He emptletb a demljon Into him
self, and a shot gun into his enemy,
and his enemy's son lleth In wait, and
lo the coioner ploweth up a forty

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Feb. 1, While a good deal
of Irregularity wns manifest In today's
market owning to tho Impotlnnt opera
tions for both accounts In leading prop
el ties, tho bulls at all times held the
mastery, as evidenced by the generous
sprinkling of net gains through tho list.
Influences conttlbutlng to this result In
eluded a heavy nbtoiptton of tho Iron
and steel stocks and the excellent state,
ment of tho leading lines. Kfforts to
dumpen bullish cnthuslam met with
temporary turtcss at Intervals through
uegresslvo hammering of the local group.
A lagged opening was duo primarily to
tho unsettling Incident in Sugar yester
day and yielding prices for Americans
in London. It was soon made manifest
that nn Impottant movement was caidul
In the metal group as issues which arc
usually not factors livened up and ad
vanced rapidly. Strength dovelopcd In
other stocks and the market rose easily.
Tho bear faction made a concerted at
tnek on the local llltles and broke
Third Avenve 9 paints. Kindred proper
ties sagged laJ'ie. and Sugar and To
bacco were also largely affected. This
manouvcr provoked Bomc selling of the
railroad stocks, but ns the various en
couraging traffic statements came to
hand, the offerings diminished and busi
ness centered at most wholly in the Trae
tlons. Supporting otders for Third Ave
nue rallied it 3 points but It went lower
In a drive near the close and ended with
a net loss of 8 points A variety of ru
mors were circulated In connection with
tho buovancy of the Iron nnd steel
stocks, chief among which was tho Ten.
nc'sec Coal common stock on nn 4 per
cent, dividend basis. Tennessee Coal
quickly ussumod prominence and roso V
points dcsplto enormous realizations.
Oalns In other members of the group
were Icis pronounced but rjnged from
2 to 3'j! per cent. The early attempts of
the bears to create liquidation In thci
Mandate! stocks proving unavailing the
shorts became uneasy and considerable)
lines were taken up, euush'g a tnnterl.M
rebound In the more depressed properties.
While the Inquiry for tho leading rail
load stocks was not very urgent, still
there was a slight upmcciutlnti all around
which was fahly well uialnlnlned to tho
end. Total sales today, 164,'jOO shares. A

II nnyone should ever ask you why it is we throw so much energy into our Friday Sales, just
tell them it is a habit we have and that you like it. For years we have nude it a custom" to offer ex
tracrd'"" inducements onMh.it day.
:vr:i of July lor fireworks; Thanksgiving for Turkey; Christmas for presents; New Years for
rcso'u! on, in 1 Friday for BARGAINS. We do not go through the stocks and shave a little in price
off 1 t m tL ? t ling and that thing. Instead, we make advance preparations with big lots ol goods.
Even i t,v, -vj'rc preparing for March and April Friday Sales. Thus it is you get NEW goods and
FRESh yuuds, bought at BIG discounts from regular prices, on which the saving is often one-third,
and more often lully one-half.
Considering the many recent advances in the price of diess materials, this is with
out question the most phenomenal offering ol the year. It is a special lot of
Armurc Plaids all that a maker had in blight, medium and dark color com
binations. A splendid fabric for children's school di esses and lor waists.
