Tliere is a bird in South America that
makes love with Its feet. It Is a hand-
some creature, but walks clumsily, and
the only sound It can utter Is a hoarse
cluck. K dances, however, in a wny
that w^jis admiration from the fenmlgp
of ifti its KAT sex, though fhtvilirh Its its nitHtwi antics Aiilv only itorvo sery.e
as an Incentive to laughter to bumar
beings who see them.
This bird, known as tbe cock of the
rock, Uvea In the northern mountainous
portiou of -South America, it is about
tbe size of a large chicken. \
Tbe entire bird-body,, head'•wings
and tall—Is blood red tn color, with the
exception of the tall feathers, which
have a narrow band of brown across
them near the ends which are tipped
with buff. On the head IK a crest of

When the mating season comes sev¬

spot where there Is a level patch of
ground and clear Tt of naf sticks,
stones or leaves, stamping down the
dirt till It is hard and level.
Then they call the females, who
stand lit the edges of this novel arena.
One at a time the males then perform
a most curious dance. Bach dancer
will first strut up and down a tew
times and then, to the apparent delight
of the rest, commence to caper around
In an extremely ludicrous manner,
spreading bis tail and wings, puffing
tip his crest, bowing to the others and
at the same time keeping up u hopping
gait until he Is exhausted.
When all the males have danced each
female will choose a mate, and the
happy pairs depart to begin housekeep-
Wu Paid *1,000 n Word.
At the Franklin Inn, a literary club
of Philadelphia, n young poet, licking
bis lips, said that Conan Doyle was
paid $1 a word.
“That Is nothing,” said a railroad ad-^
vertising man. “I know of a case"
where a man was paid $1,000 a word.
Our line used to have at Its grade cross¬
ings a very^ong and complicated sign
that began, ‘Beware of the> Engine and
Cars,’ and then this sign went on with
a lot of Injunctions and warnings that
would have taken five minutes to read.
“Id a number of accident cases tbe
claimants for damages declared that
our long signs were not clear warnings.
Therefore the Hue decided at last to
get a new grade crossing sign, and
Judge Paxson was engaged to write
one.
“The sign that Judge Taxson wrote
cost $1,000 a word, but It was a classic.
It remains a classic.' It has been copied
everywhere. It Is as well known
among us ns ‘Father, 1 cannot tell n
lie,’ or ‘England expects every man to
do his duty.’
“Tbe sign that cost ■$1,000 a word, ot
$6,000 in all, was the famous Ttailrond
'Crossing—Stop, Look and Listen.’ ”—
