A boy we know had some chickens Of
which he had made pets. He and his
father went to their work early in the
morning, and while the rest of the fam
lily were away for the summer it became
a question how the chickens were to be
fed with proper regularity.
The boy was equal to the occasion. He
took an alarm clock and fastened it Sc
curely to one side Of the barn by means
Of two spikes. Next he hung a bucket
of corn to a rafter and connected it with
the clock by a stout cord.
He wound up the alarm and set it at 4
o'clock. At that hour the alarm went
off, wound up the string and tipped over
the bucket. And so the chickens were
fed by clockwOrk. Cleveland Leader.
