The Wilson Bottling Company have been for some time selling soft drinks "by the ton." Thia at first glance would seem to be a peculiar mode of selling bottled goods, but when the facts aro known lt does not appear so strange. Thero are a number of cus tomers of the bottling works In the mountains, and the teamsters from tho hill country haul by the ton. For that reason the merchants send down ?do the bottling people for "a ton of drinks," and enough crates of bot tled goods are loaded to weigh 2,000 pounds, and there is no question aa to hauling charges.

BROOD OF PEG-LEG CHICKENS. Had Naturals Lopped Off-Young Surgeon Substitutes Match Stems. (Atlanta Journal.) A Piedmont avenue resident has a brood of young chickens, each with a wooden leg. No, the chicks did not kick out of the shell with their wooden legs. They were born with ordinary yellow shins and long toes, but a neighbor's steel trap very soon amputated these appendages on one side, and a son of the house, with a tendency to sur gery, affixed the artificial substitutes. He first tried crutches, he says, ?but finding the chicks could not chase !>..:.:; and grasshoppers on crutches (the chicks, not the bugs and grass hoppers, on crutches,) he clapped on the war veteran's best friend, the wooden leg. The cruel trap was set to catch rats, but one of the Inquisitive chicks slipped under the fence and stepped on the trigger. Off went the leg. He hopped home on the other neverthe less, and shortly afterwards the ener getic young amateur surgeon found him. Adhesive plaster and a match proved to be first aid to the injured and pretty quick the little chick was following his little sisters and bro thers about tho yard, stumping if here and there wherever insects and grain were to be found. Nature fakirs like those President Roosevelt ls exposing so vigorously would say that this chicken soon learned to turn up the sod and small stones with the wooden leg, but he did no such impossible thing. Ho simply balanced himself on tho arti ficial leg and scratched as usual with the natural member. The next day anothor of the brood turned up mimiB a leg. A in the first case, the ingenlus boy got a match and made a new log for it. Then tho samo thing happened to ano ther, and another, until lt began to look as though a feathere'. battle of Gettysburg was taking placo in the neighborhood. The steel trnp was at work, all right, but the boy and his pnrents didn't find it out until the owner began to make inquiries in the neighborhood as to whoso chick ens were contributing so many logs to his trap. Then lt was too late. The whole brood had been shorn of a leg each. "It shall not be said my chickens haven't got a leg left to stand on," said the young surgeon, as he pro ceeded with the Job of making and applying the pegs. "I am going to send that boy to the medical college," his father says. "Such talent calls forencouragement. Why, the chickens never even squall ed once under the op. -itions." ORGANS! ORGANS!
