Selling Chickens.

attempted to stop closing door,

putting his basket where a seven
dollar window struck it. The at
tempt was sad failure as the
hundreds of pieces of glass testi-
fed. After the damage had been
done, the honest yeoman went into
the Office and inquired OF the clerk
If he wanted some nice tender
chickens. Upon receiving q reply
in the affirmative, the chickens
were weighed, the amount compu-
ted, and as the clerk showed no
readiness in paying, the farmer then
mildly suggested that he had sever
al miles to travel and it was get
ting late. As that did not bring
the currency, he boldly asked for
his pay. but instead of receiving it,
was told by the clerk that the bal

the price of the chickens from that

consult a lawyer. After . short
absence he returned, picked up his

leave remarked to several who were
standing In front of the house:
