A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Mad an Idea About Eggs which
Promised a Splendid Result TO
His Mind.

A small boy who 10 not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for a
brief stay in the country.
On a farm in a neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingly said to his
mother:
"Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for?'
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
'My dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house,
"Oh, mamma replied the boy, 81 didn t
want you to know about it"
"Why, it's all right" said mamma, y only
want to know what my boy did with them y
81 hid them in the stable" said the little
fellow.
"And what for?''
Cause it's my scheme"
"Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
why, you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher, when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an j fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horsesl"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplished.-Cle Plain Dealer.
