"I'm skeered of the ole! hen," ob?
jected Jimmy. "Is she much of a
pecker?"
"Naw, she ain't a-goin' to hurt you,"
was the encouraging repl). "Git up
an' crawl th'oo; I'll help you."
Billy, having overcome his scruples,
now entered into the undertaking
with great zest. %
Jimmy climbed the chicken ladder,
kicked his chubby legs through the
aperture, hung suspended on his fat
little middle for an instant, and final?
ly, with much pantisg and tugging,
wriggled his plump, round body into
the hen-house. He walked over where
a lonesome looking ben was sitting
patiently c?- a nest He put out a
cautious hand and the hen promptly
gave it a vicious peck.
"gllly," he called angrily, "you got
to come in here and hold this old
chicken; she's 'bout the terriblest
pecker they is."
Billy stuck his head in the little
square hole. "Go at her from behind,"
he suggested; "put yo' ha.id under
her easy like, an' don' let her know
what you's up to."
Jimmy tried to follow thes* instruc?
tions, but received another peok for
his pains. He promptly mutinied.
"If you want any eggs," he de?
clared, scowling at the face framed In
the aperture, "you can come get 'em
yourself. I done monkeyed with this
chicken all I'm going to "

the victim of his energy, "you i

"Hush, Jimmy! warned the other
child. "Don't make so much noise.
Aunt Minerva '11 hear you."
"I want her to hear me," screamed
Jimmy. "You d like me to stay
stuck in a chicken hole all night. Oh!
oh! oh!"
The noise did indeed bring Billy's
aunt out on a tour of investigation.
She had to knock a plank off the hen?
house with an axe before Jimmy's re?
lease could be accomplished. He was
lifted down, red, angry, sticky, and
perspiring, and was indeed a sight to
behold.
"Billy got to all ciine perpose some?
thing to get little boys in trouble,"
he growled, "and got to all time get
'em stuck in a hole in a chicken
house."
"My nephew's name Is William,"
corrected she.

Jimmy carefully distributed tne

stood on the outside wetting, onp rn

But the patient hen had at smut

set up n fuoious cackling, which no

low rivulets, and half a plump, round

"Pull!* yelled the owner of the
short fat legs. "I'm sti ck and aan't

About this time the defrauded fowl
flew from hsv nest and attempted to
get out by her rightful salt. Find?

on the little boy's neck and napped
bar enraged wings in his face.
"Pull!" yelled the child, again, "heap

Billy grabbed the sticky limbs and
gave a valient tug. but the body dkl
not move an inch. Alas, Jimmy with

PEN" DISPENSARY MONDAY.
? i ? <rn Express Compuny to Deliver
skey Packages from Special
l .'ice on East Liberty Street.
the Dally Item, Dec. 15.
>lte the dispensary law which
orce at the present time, a reg?
ular dispensary for the delivery of
packages of whiskey will he opened
Monday morning bright and early at
No. 3 E. Liberty street and will be
conducted at .that place from then
on to the first of the new year.
The dispensary Is to be opened by
the Southern Express Company for
the purpose of handling for delivery
the many packages of liquor which
come In about Christmas time, pack?
ages the contest of which are seem?
ingly needlul to their owners for put?
ting them Into the proper Christmas
frame of mind. The special office, or
"dispensary office" as it Is called by
the express people, will from Mon?
day on to the first of the year handle
all packages of whiskey that are
shipped Into their local office. As
there are so many of these packages
It was found necessary several years
ago to separate the kinds of packages
and each Christmas since a special
office has been opened about this time
for the handling of whl3key ship?
ments.
The chief reason for doing this Is
that ladles may not be inconvenienced
when they come to the express office
to send packages off or to inquire or
give directions about packages sent
to them. Most of the receivers of
the whiskey packages are negroes,
and the ladies, if they visit the ex?
press office, do not have to come in'
contact with or be crowded by these
when the special office Is established.
It was reported today that the
whiskey shipments up to the present
time this year were about the same as
last year and the year before, despite
the poor price of cotton and the seem?
ing hard times. Of course these
shipments are expected to be unusual?
ly large during the next two weeks
during the holiday season.
