Lots of farmers declare their telephone service

Chlokene are the moat dad-busted,

farmer, oity man, commuter ? almost
everybody trlea to rale? chlckena at
Home time or another. Looks easy? -
that's the deceiving part of It.
And It la eaay, after you learn one
thing: Little chlckena donA? know
anything, medium-sued chlckena don't
know anything, big chlckena don't
know anything. If there la any change
of an' Intellectual nature aa the alee

poaalble, than the little onea.
If there la a wire partition in your
pen, with an open door at one end,
the chlokena will try to plunge
through the Wire lnatead of going
round and walking through the door,
in the courae of time, when the blrda
get heavy, they will hang themaelvea
trying to do thla if you don't watoh
them.
Hen chlckena are more valuable
than rooatera, because they can lay
egga if they will. But If you ' take
a doten email ohlckena and raise
them carefully, it la alwaya surprising
how many of them turn out to be
rooatera. Sometimes they will sprout
tall feathere at the very last i&inute,
Just when you are thinking they
ought? to be ready to lay eggs. At

' Some are disposed to hold that a
display of public gratitude for bene

ineptitude. What earnestness or spir

indiscriminate a thanksgiving? If
you ask and do not receive, ought
you to be as thankful for benefits

Brightness personified la little

family consider him father precocious
?bUt that's quite another story. At:
any rate, he 4s the pride of his fath

fers to the youngster as a "regular

The other night little Johnny looked
up from his stool by the fireside, and
ejaculated the query:
"I'm a chip from the old bloclfc^
ain't I, father?"
"Yes, my son* Indeed you are,",
came the proud reply. \
"And, pa, you're the head of th4Lj

little lad.
"I am," replied Pule.

Good Fellowship.
Qood fellowship Js as old man.
It is one of the elemental things
rooted In man ^ith good and evil,
love and hate. Its temples are wher
ever goo j mon get together; its
shrines and-eanctuarjtes the hearts of j
men. More than the impetuous com
radeship of youth, it is the settled
faith of jnen in men. Passing all
boundaries of nation, &reed or calling,
it asks only the open heart, the hon
est purpose, the cheerful countenance.
Its password is the kindling eye, its
pledge the hearty hand ? Its finest
[ messages are unspoken. is , the"
golden age made manifest. Rites, re
ligions, men and measures pass-*
good fellowship remains; for it It
eternal lovo of life, eternal faith, eter-.
