DISEASED POULTRY SOLD IN
OPEN MARKET.
White Tteitlnx a relative In a dlataat
city the family physician made this
unusual request: *‘I understand you
are an expert ou hen health, and I am
come to a£k you n favor. I have sov-
eral very particular patients, and their
nurses have found it difficult to se
cure p*od squab# and chickens. 1
hare .therefore volunteered to purchase
them, and I am anxious to have you
accompany me to market.”
“Weil, what do you think of the
jKMiltry on display?” asked our friend.
••Fair.” we answered, “but it would
have been better if some had not died
before they were kilted.”
Our enigmatical reply puzzled the
physician for a moment, and then be
demanded. “Do you mean to assert
that some of this poultry died of dis
ease and was then dressed T*
“That is the exact meaning,'' we re
plied.
We hurriedly returned to the booth
where the diseased specimens had
been detected, aad then they hung,
slimy and blue, on the hooks, while
customers crowded around the stall
The physician quickly tamed to the
dealer and, pointing to two fowls In
question, asked, "An those fresh killed
chickens?"
"Bun," said the martetman; "Just
fresh this morning."
The doctor purchased them, took the
booth number, and we went on. The
fowls had
both died ef

We remained long enough in that
city to see the unscrupulous dealer
heavily fined and to receive a request
from the board of health to give such
information to, the public that they
might be safeguarded in buying poul
try and that they might be able to
discern the symptoms of disease In
dressing fowls at home.

P ATRICK HENRY Hi the patron
saint of the American school
boy. He made two speeches,
each containing a single sen
tence sufficient to Immortalize any or
ator. “Give me liberty or give me
death!" These seven simple word# still
thrill the breasts of lover# of freedom
throughout the world. “Cae;-»ar had his
Brutus, Charles the First his Crom-
veM and George the Third”— "Trea
son! Treason!” cry the royalist dele
gate# in horror. "And George the
Third,” concludes Patrick Henry scorn
fully, “may profit by tbeir example. If
that Is* treason, make the most of It!”
By these two speeches, which nerved
the colonist# to stronger protest against
British misrule, is l*atrick Henry best
remembered, but there was much more
In this provincial Virginian than mere
forensic fervor. Henry proved his
words by bis deeds. As soldier, as leg
islator, as governor of Virginia and in
all capacities to which be was called
be showed metal that rang true.
Yet Patrick Henry as a boy and
youth was considered a ne’er-do-well.
He was a red beaded, aiouchy. ungain
ly youngster, caring little for school
and much for boyish adventures In
wonderland. He failed is three or four
business enterprises. Including fanning
and storekeeping, and, though a mar
ried man, was desperately poor.
Some years before be reached thirty,
however, Patrick Henry perked up and
astonished the Virginia natives. He
studied tew about a month and man
aged to obtain admteslon to the bar.
lu a surprisingly brief time be was a
leader Id his profession.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Patrick Henry was bis ability
aa a decllner of office in bis later
years. He declined a seat in the Unit
ed States senate; be declined Washing
ton’s invitation to become secretary of
state; he declined the appointment to
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court of the United 8tales; he declined
another election to the governorship of
Virginia, though be did submit to elec
tion to the house of delegates, but died
before taking hla seat

T HE first American negro who
achieved a wide fame was
Frederick Doufeia's. Bom a
slave at a place In Maryland
bearing the odd name of Tuckahoe, the
name first conferred ui>on him wa*
Frederick Augustus Washington Bai
ley, truly an abundance for a picka
ninny with apparently no pro#|>ect# in
life other tbuq those of a botfdman
serving a master. Bat Frederick Au
gustus Washington was uifiVreut from
th^ ordinary pickaninny. Nature had
conferred upon him a lar;:e hem! con
taining gray matter which could not
be kept behind in life*# race by the
handicap of a dark skin. When Fred
erick was a small boy lie wa# sent to
Baltimore to work In a shipyard.
There he managed to get a little
schoo!lug.
Not always is a little learning a dan
gerous thing, though In Frederick’s
case It did prove dangerous to hte own
er from a commercial point of view..
Healthy, befty slaves In tbose days
were worth a matter of a thousand dol
lars apiece. The little book learning
acquired by the aiave boy put Into hla
head the determination to become free.
He escaped to the disguise of a sailor
and made hla way to Massac bn setts,
where he read and studied to such ad
vantage that when he reached the age
of twenty-four he was able to deliver
a lecture at an antislavery convention
in Nantocket which brought him an in
vitation to go to England and deliver
lecture# on the. slavery problem In
America. Ha had changed hte name
to Douglass when he ran away.
In England Douglass raised $1,250,
with which be formally purchased bis
freedom from hla southern owner.
Then be settled in Rochester, N. Y.,
and became widely known aa a jour
nalist and orator. Hla paper, the North
Star, later changed In title to Frederick
Douglass’ Paper, pleaded for many
years the cause of the slave. 0 Doug
lass had three eons in the Union ar
mies. He was a presidential elector in
1872, United States marshal and re
corder of deeds successively from 1876
to 1886 and became minister to Haiti
in 1891.
