when she met with an annoyance that
ladies riding along are frequently sub
jected to, but which this young wom-
an disposed of in a most refreshing
and novel manner. The annoyance
manifested itself in the form of a dud-
ish young man of the masher species.
He rode a bicycle, wore golf hose, q
pink shirt, had his hair parted accu-
rately in the middle and was possessed
of assurance largely in excess of his
stock of common sense.

from her Fedora and quickly inserted
the point in the rear tire OF his wheel.
By the time he had discovered there
was absolutely nothing wrong with the
pedal and that it was working as
smoothly as mechanical skill and BIZ
cycle oil could make it, the hairpin
was resting inoffensively in it's proper
place.

Hold the picture about a foot from
your face, close one eye and allow the
top of the picture to fall backward,
which, of course, shortens the view. AS
the picture is made to slant almost di-
rectly away from the eye, there can be
seen clearly on the page a group of
seven well-prOpOrtiOned animals of less

ed by laying the page fiat upon the ia

A Law of the "Eadger" Hen.

A Lay Of the "Badger" Hen.
From Superior, Wis.,, Citizen: We
have read of Maud on summer day,
who raked, bare-footed, the new-mown
hay; we have read of the maid in the
early morn, who MIXED the cow with
the crumpled horn, and we've read the
lays that the poets sing, of the rustling
corn and the flowers of spring; but of
all the lays of tongue or pen, there's
naught like the lays of the Badger hen.
Long, long before Maud rakes her hay,
the Badger hen has begun to lay, and
ere the milkmaid stirs a peg, the hen
Is up and has dropped her egg. The
corn must rustic and flowers must
spring if they hold their own with the
barnyard ring. If Maud is needing a
hat and gown she doesn't hustle her
hay to town; she goes to the store and
obtains her suit with basketful of
fresh hen fruit; If the milkmaid's beau
makes Sunday call she doesn't feed
him on milk at all. but works up eggs
In custard pie and stuffs him full of
chicken fry: and when the old man
wants a horn, does he take the drug
g1st a load of corn? Not much! He
simply robs nest and HES him town.

wife stays at home and scowls, but is
saved from want by those sele-same
fowls; for while the husband fingers
there, she watches the cackling hen
with care, and gathers eggs, and the
eggs she'll hide till she gets enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail to
the Badger hen, who lays and cackles
and lays again! Corn may be king.
but it's plainly seen that the Badger
hen is a rustic queen.
