There is no doubt that the hens have

1t is not necessary for the farmer tc

sign from the Buclkers and

Button is rich and proud. He comes of a
good old family and is recognized society
leader of Detroit. He, with some of his
swell bachelor friends, organized the Buck
ers and kickers," of Which he was made
grand high contortionist. The order had no
object but fun, yet it lsiaintained a show of
mysticism and announced its meetings in
a way to arouse general curiosity.
Button went east for rest and change.
His immediate family and friends did not
like his belonging to fraternity with such
a name and such doubtful aims. They saw
an opening and proceeded to get even. The
first day at New York hotel he received a
dozen letters, and on the envelope of each,
in big type, was his name and his title as
grand high contortionist, followed by the adj
dress to which the letter was to be returned
ii not called for. The clerk noticed it, and
others who were getting their mail could
not but see what was as plain as hand bill.
He was indignant at this use of his official
envelope, and Indignation became explosive
called on him, asked if he belonged to the
'perfesh," and if he were open to engage
ments.
Button fired hot letter home, bearing an
immediate delivery stamp. He informed the
folks that it was in the worst taste to send
private correspondence in a business en-
velope. He wanted no more of it. 1t had
cost him great annoyance and he was going
to change his hotel at once. But tat grand
high contortionst' pursued him like an
avenger until he returned home, raked all
his relatives over the Goals, resigned from
