We would advise our lilliputian friend
Miller OF the Democrat not to meddle any
longer with the large breeds like the
Brahmas, but to stick to his own, he
Bantams, that is if they will own him,
which we doubt, judging from his ment al
and physical proportions we think our big
Brahma would not find head enough on him
to make decent mouthful even to scratch
at. Still ifthe little chap thinks differently
and if by any mighty effort he car turn
his lazy homes out early in the morn.
ing, we invite him to call at feeding time
and by comparison for himself We however
want the interview to be short for We don't
want our ROSTERS mouth corrupted by asso'
ciating with q dunghill.
