The Inquisitlve Hen. I

A fable-Once upon time a wise old
hen, who was much addicted to HE per-
nicrous habit Of eavesdropping, waS passing
the door of her master when she heard
voices within. Pausing to listen ske heard
her mistress speak after this fashion.
''Silas, am sorely perplexed, for I can
not see how we may solve the probleAl."
.'Speak guardedly, wife, lest your
troubles be caught up by unfr,endly ears
and sown abroad the earth," said the hus-
band. 'sBut tell me, what mean YOUR
And the master paused to listen for the re-
ply.
s'Why does not the ministes come for
dinner this day2"
faye, aye
'sAnd the situation be after this wise. If
we kill the hen before she lays her MONDAY
egg we cannot set before the good pan the
cake SO pleasing to his tastea"
.'Then, verify, Iwould advise thee not 10
kill the hen until after she lays the egg"
s'Ah, that would seem logical upon its
face. but it is true that the hen is old, and
therefore tough of muscle and sinew. So If
we should wait until that hour, she could
not be cooked in time for dinner at ALL"
''Truly, the situation is puzzling one,
spake the master, s'and think it would be
best to trust to luck in the whole matter.
for who knows but that on this very day the
hen might lay her egg an hour or twosearlier
Then both cake and fowl could be served,
and al would be well for the good man, -
"Ah, Silas. thou speakest wisely, for then
he should never know how closely We, were
obliged to figure in the matter, the wife OBJ
served.
Hearing these things, the wise old hen
shook her feathers and unused after. this
fashion: )
81 may be fat and good looking from
culinary standpoint, but there is no gain
saying that am old and is tough as a;rock.
Hence I'll pursue this course of action: I'll
postpone the laying Of the egg at least four
hours after the time they have calculated on
That will make the possibility of my being
cooked for the dominic out of the question,
at least for today
So resolved, she hurried away, singing
blithely. But as she reached the farmyard
gate she came face to face with the minister
who was passing toward the house.
Now the minister, having seen q live
chicken about the premises. was loath to
leave when he did not find meat Of that
species on the dinner table.
And It came to pass that he remain ed sfor
supper also, when fragrant potpie adorned
the center of the board.
Moral: It's wise bird that aocks by
itself.

The biggest pickerel taken from Otter
creek in many years was captured last
Sunday by Mr.. G. II. Frost of Weybridge
street. 1t weighed is pounds, was three
feet and a half long and measured Is
inches around the body. Mr.. Frost
didn't 60 fishing either. He and his son
were walking along the bank of the
stream at the lower end of his premises,
when they discovered the fish lying in
the shallow water near the shore. The
boy went to the barn and got a pitch
fork, with which Mr.. Frost speared the
fish and threw it upon the shore. jeff
Hrisko, the shoemaker, is glad the fish
has been caught, as his reputation for
truth and veraclty is thereby cleared.
He hooked it two weeks ago and hauled
it ashore. In some way the fish got
Jeti's hand in its mouth and bit him so
savagely that he let go, whereupon the
fish jumped, broke the line at the hook
and took a flop back into the water. The
hook was still fast in his jaw when Mr..
Frost examined him. People who heard
Jetl's story no longer doubt its truthful
ness,
