Guineas Get Ride.

Any of the young blood of Indianapolis- will testify that “chickens” (in one of the later acceptances of the word) are very fond of street car and automobile riding, observes the Indianspoils News, but it is noj often that four guineas of the common or garden digging variety have an opportunity to disport themselves in or on a city street car. Amid a chorus of squawks from about 100 coops of turkeys and other fowls in front of William Locks’ flsb and poultry place at 1027 Virginia avenue, the other day four guineas escaped from n coon, and a series of hops, flops and flights landed them on the trolley pole of n street car headed for Washington strvet, where they evidently regarded it policy to* sit tight At any rate they were not tempted from their perch by downtown window displays or moving picture theaters. On the back trip the street car stopped in front of Locks’, and the motormni shouted: “Here are your guineas.’ Eager hands helped them to alight, and they were taken back home.
