A LESSON FROM A HEN.-When a
hen lays an egg she cackles. When
a man gets in new stock of goods
it is human for him to crow over it.
When a hen cackles people know
that she has laid in some stock and
feels rather proud of it. When the
merchant opens his new styles and
blows his trumpet in the newspapers
people knows that he has something
on hand worth advertising and pat
renize him acnordinolv- FIR.
