A Hen WhiDs a Rat

A California hen, while scratching
with her brood Of chicks recently, was
charged upon by a full-grown rat. She
Immediately gathered her flock and
awaited the onslaught. The rat, some-
what checked by her bold front,
crouched for moment, and then made
Dart for one of the chicks. In an
instant the old hen flew at her enemy,
and striking it with her bill, grabbed
it by the back and threw it in the air.
The rat came down with a thump upon
the walk, but before it could regain its
feet the hen repeated the performance,
and kept it up until the rat was only
able to crawl away few feet and die.

SONG OF THE ADVERTISER.

! am an advertiser great
In letters bold and big and round
The praise of my wares 1 sound
Prosperity is my estate
The people come, the people go
In one continuous, surging flow;
They buy my goods and come again,
And Pm the happiest of mon;
And this the reason 1 relate
1 am an advertiser great.
There is a shop across the way
Where ne'er is heard human tread
Where trade is paralyzed and dead
With ne'er a customer a day,
The people come, the people go
But never there-they do not know
There's such a shop beneath the skies,
Because he doesn't advertise;
While with pleasure contemplate
That Pm an advertiser great.
The secret of my fortune lies
In one small fact, which l may state
Too many tradesmen learn too late
II I have goods, 1 ADVERTISED
Then people come, and people go
In constant streams, for people know
That he who has good wares to sell
VIII surely advertise them well;
And proudly reiterate
I am an advertiser greatl
