Nj. N.-Your question is rather intlen-

are casting insinuations. If you are fond
of chickens and do not see them often
enough at meal times "ou might tie one
to the leg of your bed and play with it in
the evenings when your work is done.
Why not be manly and keep dog?
Chickens are very nice in their way, but
they sometimes bee ME so 'set' in it
that they lose their usefulness as playful
pets.

cumstantial evidence If it is the general
opinion that from the looks nf things,
you-kissed The gill; you.-.had better say
nothing and let the opinion stand No

that you are travelling pathway worn

fore. It Is haril, but we are afraid You
cannot do anything. =.
