The Strenuous Life Killing the Men of Chicago. t'lttraco lliaii-h. ;th. The strenuous life is killing the men of Chicago at a tremendous rate, while the women of the city aro increasing their longevity by the simple life, says Health Com missioner Kvaus in a report. He declares that a few centuries will sec Chicago an Adamless I'.ilen. Ir. l'.vans makes the startling statomcnt that during the last sev en mouths of l!)o7, iu Chicago alH.ut 12,000 men huccuiiiInmI, as compared to 11,000 women. He says that jn the last year the ratio of difference iu the death rate 1n tweeu men ami women has lieen :1D against less than 10 per rent, twenty years ago. The cause for this is altrffnited by Commissioner Kvaus to the strenuous life. Contributory causes are the tpiick lunch, constant ex poHiire, ami carelessness. Eczema.

His reign of three days, while the gray was in duress, had been so sweet aud his ottscrvatiou of the gray's present weakness was so confident that he decided to net to at once. Nothing like a fight was troub ling the old gray's head, still at the trough, wheu the red knocked him off his feet. In a moment the gray hail recovered himself and both were iu order of battle bills at the ground, eyes ou guard, wings ami legs ready for the slam. The gray s itstonishmeut amounted al un st to terror; but, of course, since he hadn't run since he'd whipped his old man, he wouldn't run now. He had no advantages but prestige aud spurs.

Nor was it long before the llam-tlam of smit nig wings was heard again. Kill bad done more to lieat the oltl gray than his antagonist. He was panting heavily, and all he did was to avoid. Iiecause ho was not strong enough to use his spurs, he dodged uuiler, thus giving the red cock, who had no spurs but nub bins, the opportunity to bite his comb. The few hens on the yard paid no heed. The combatants moved about the canteutcr's lieuch, slowly rounded the ash barrel, took a Hop or two under the honey suckle vine, passed under a corner of the house, and gaiued ground sideways toward the front yard. IW this time the gray s comb was black with blood; the red's cour age had mounted high; the light was evidently almut won. I resent - ly the old rooster ran into a clump of roses for refuge aud rest, and there tho red attacked him, got a strong hold on his comb, and pun ished In in until he bawled and squalled w ith the pain of it. When at last he had broken from his sorry asylum and had started away in oiien defeat, he cried out at every step, for the young red cham pion had kept his bold. 1 hat dusk the mnir old deposed king stood at a distance while the new champion stood proudly at the foot of the ladder and said gay things to the hens as he showed them up. He dared not venture forward until his former subjects were seated to suit them; then be Implied cautiously to the limlis and chose one on the lonesome side, whence he could dimly see the red rascal cuddled among his favorite hens. Nor was it less pathetic next morning, when the red rooster started for the range, chuckling and crowing and muching his hens. The pride of these fickle fools in whatever little gallantry he showed them was conspicuous. They had no eye at all for their former guide, who stalked their trail drearily and alone. Hut the old gray was picking up grubs and grasshoppers ant! sip ping dew. All the forenoon he held his distance, would stop when his rival stopped, retreat when his rival made at him, but identified himself with his Hock. After noou the grubs and hop pers bad soniewnat revived his spirits. He dogged the crowd a little closer, and waked the other fellow's curiosity and suspicion. When the red made an angry rush for him to run bini away, he even stood bis ground and exchanged two or three broadsides before his comb got into trouble.
