The Krebs brothers, hop kings, -recently

reputation as to its poultry product, and
with this laudable object in view, thej
sent a man up to the Yakima country to
some famous poulterer to get a thorough
bred Clydesdale, Norniarr- Pereheon, or
some other breed of rooster to lead their
flo:ks and do the crowin for the firm.
One was selected end purchased, the
price being $200, which anyone will ad
mit is a good price for chicken, even
though served in a French restanraot.
The rooster was brought down in a box in
the express car and turned loose in the
nulntial nnnrtnrs Drovided tor him. He
. -
seemed all right and perfectly satis6ed
with his surroundings, but on the third
morning, when Krebs' went out to the
chicken yard, tV-e first thing that met his
gaze was the $200 bird flat on its back,
its curled toes tticking np in the air as
though warding off some ghostly enemy,
and stone dead. Kreba has not yet de
termined whether death was caused by
lice or mold, but inclines to the opinion
that at present prices he isn't worth

team under the name of Garish, says a
Spokane dispatch to the Journal. Cherry
was selected on the ail-star team from
the Oregon Agricultural College, and
claims that his reason for playing under
an assumed name is simply because bis
parents are opposed to his flay frig on the
gridiron. The rule of the A. A. U. reads :
"An amateur becomes a professional
when (I) he enters a competition under
an assumed nam.", or (2) when be enters
a competition open to a professional or
knowingly competes with a profession

C. team stands a chance of being profes
sionalized. It is thought by athletes
that the reason for his taking the new
name may clear him."

Starr is a forceful speaker, , possessed of
