Years it'-io, away hack winder when the Master walked n|> 'H

Kver since that time the cmT has been looked tip< n a~ a I>iril oi
more or less portentioiis omen. .Mnithet- of the human fainils be-
longing to that branch which de rended irotu Main, are -aid to re-
gard the bird as one of especially giiod forecasting, provided the
night is dark and clotttl* Mid the hird do, - not roo-t too high.
In the da\- when tile gn at part', whose principles were founded
bv Thomas jefferson ami aid d< \n as the rule of action which all
good democrats should follow, wa- young, appreciating the good
luck which attaches to the bird which if master oi the barnyard,
the scions < f the democratic faith adopted him as an emblem to be
emblazoned upon the party's coat of arms.
And ever since that time, even down unto this day. the cock
rampant stands, talisniatu, at the head of the editorial columns of
the democratic newspapers of the untry. the morning after a
national election, provided, oi course, someone did not forget to
close the bars, thereby letting the republican pole ■ at into the demc
cratic poultry yard.

tic state, a cock. lesplendant in red ai i gold plumage, flew b. ne.itli
the governor's private car and calmly seated himself upon the trucks.
In vain did the a-M-mbled tr.'nmen 'shoo' and seek to scare
him away. In vain did the cii-Jinn ippeal to the conductor t > hand
him the high sign that he might jo" ride Jinnnie over the plains of
western Oklahoma. In vain did the telegrapher at the next station
down the line click in an appeal t ■ know when the C«>\ Special
