The Had Boys and the Pigeon ROOst.
Two wicked Germantown boys CON
aocted a neat scheme to depOpulate a
neighboring pigeon roost. The plan
was for one to go up to the coop and
scare the birds, and the other was to
bring them down with his =. so gun as
they came flying over the fence. The
only trouble about it all was that the
scheme didn't work. The boy who was
TO do the soaring was himself so badly
scared that the order Of attack was
fatally d~isarranged. He was stealing
up 70 the pigeon house when he was
seized by the owner, shaken, and sent
flying by a drop kick. The boy who
had the gun had the presence Of mind
TO hide it behind a fence, and was
mean enough TO laugh at his unfort-
uuate partner. Philadelphia Press.
