HE EAT HIS CHICKEN.

A rather amusing affair happened in an
East Douglas avenue meat market yester-
day. During the morning hours a customer
called for tender chicken and was given
one on the guarantee of it being the kind
desired The cook soon after discovered a
very common mistake in the purchase.
whereupon the purchaser returned with
one of the tough legs of the chicken and
invited the salesman to eat it. He objected
and threatened to eject the customer when
a revolver was presented and ne was again
given the command to march into the
chicken. With little hesitation he march
ed, and after considerable work of the
jaws the tough meat disappeared. At the
close of the last act the customer picked
out for himself a chicken and went on his
WAY rejoicing
