Does Experience Count.

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and prepar-
ing medicines. This is illustrated in
the great superiority of Hoods Sarsap-
arilla over other preparations, as shown
by the remarkable cures it has accom-
plished.
The head of the firm of C. |. Hood g.

perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines. He is also
member of the Massachusetts and
American Pharmaceutical Associations.
and continues actively devoted to super
vising the preparation of and managing
the business connected will, Hood S
Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is built up
on the most substantial foundation. In
its preparation there is represented all
the knowledge which modern research
in medical science has developed, COM
bined with long experience. brainwork,
and experiment. 1t is only necessary
to give this medicine fair trial to re-
alize its great curative value.

means, but it is something very nice,
for didn't the city visitor say: "Ohi

l asked papa rooster what funny"
meant, and he said: ''Stop your foolish
peeping, Ganderlegs; can't bother an
swering silly chickens questions all the
time"
Then l asked mamma Speckle, and
she said she didn't know; she never
heard the word before.
To tell the truth, papa rooster is a
mean old thing and mamma Speckle is
silly; that is, | used to think so, and /
didn't call them papa and mamma when
was where they couldn't hear me. I
called them ''that old hen and rooster"
One day the old rooster took me out be-
hind the coop and gave me good peck
ing, just for nothing at all. tell you
he's got an awful bill to peck with, and
it hurts.
You see, I was scratching in mud
puddle and threw some mud on Mrs
White Leghorn's little pullet. She went
peeping to her mother, and her mother
told the old rooster, and he said if I
ever did such thing again he would at
tend to me. When he turned around l
stood on one foot and made a face at
him. The chickens all laughed, and he
asked what the matter was, and tattle-
tale Dorking told him. Then he did
attend to me, and you'd better believe l
caught it.
The next day when the cows came out
of the stable the boy forgot to shut the
door, and l thought what good joke it
would be to go in there and hide and
make them think ! was lost So ran in
and hid in one corner, and the boy came
back and shut the door. Iplayed leap-frog
over stick, and stood on my head and
cut up all sorts of capers by myself,
with no one to interfere, and had Jolly
time.
Then / heard the old hen and rooster
talking and stopped to listen. The old
rooster said: 1T is such pleasant day,
we had better take our family down to
the pasture and have picnic by the
spring, and perhaps I will teach the lit
tie ROSTERS to crow, they are about old
enough to learn something" When /
heard that l was almost crazy. peeped,
but the old hen was counting the chick
ems and they We're jumping around and
saying 'goodie, goodies" so no one heard
me.
Why" the old hen asked when she
had finished counting, where is Gan
derlegs?"
Never mind him." the old rooster
said; ''he is where he ought not be, I'll
warrant, and we will punish him by go
ing off and leaving him"
The old hen did not like to leave me,
but that cross old rooster hurried them
all off as fast as he could l peeped
until my throat was sore, and then laid
down on the floor and cried myself tc
sleep. In the afternoon the boy came to
the stable, and when he opened the door
I ran out. One of Mr.. White Leghorn's
little ROSTERS was scratching by the
door. He looked up and said: "Ho.
