Then from the g~laddened multitude
went up a joyous yell,
It rumbled In the mountain tops, it
ratified in the dell;
It struck upon the hillside. and re-
bounded on the fiat;
For Casey, mighty Casey, was ad-

There was ease in Casey's manner as
he stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey's bearing,
and a smile on Casey's face;
And when responding to the cheers.
he lightly dohed his hat,
NO stranger in the crowd could doubt

THE oWCETTFD RoOsTER.

Being a oguifed old gander and
knowing that one goose is Of more
value than htee hens / have never
lad much t say to the ROSTERS and
their hocks. Now and then / have
net an ola hen who had other
thoughts than chuckling about and
Quilting up Der feathers and trying 10
pass for a lpullet, but most Of them
are not wofth a gander's time. It is
still worse RitA the ROSTERS. ]. can't
say that Ilevg met one who'd talk
about the weather or the crops for
five minutes. Their idea is to strut
about and show off before the hens
and chickens, and because they can
crow and fight they try to put on
airs over the geese and the ducks.
They know what I think OF them how
ever. I've kiyen many Of them a good
drubbing. and they quit strutting
around me years ago. It was about
three years ag9 we had a rooster here
who was a beauty. He was black as
night, and hid feathers shone like
silk, and II hadn't been for his
foolish ways The whole farm would
have been proud Of him. Because he
was big and handsome he thought
himself the smartest rooster IN the
whole state. The other ROSTERS ran
from him. and the hens all bowed
down, and he chickens held their
breath as they passed by. One day /
heard this rooster boasting to the
hens that he had heard OF a fox being
IN the neigh Ehood, and that he was
going to hun. him up and drive him
away. This was d~readfully foolish
talk, and I called the rooster aside and
said:
my friend you should not talk
such nonsens3 to the hens. No rooster
ever AAtehedls a match for a fox"
do you mean that 1 can not make
the fox run br his life?" he asked.
"Of course you can't, A fox would
kill you ia lminute. Even the big
gest gander s afraid Of a fox"
That's because you are geese and
can't crow. Ny dear old gander, don't
worry about me. / can not only take
care Of myself, but Of all the ducks.

back to your pond and mind your

would happen II a fox and the rooster
met. but my words Of advice had not
been needed. That very afternoon,
after Growing as loud as he could for
ten minutes and strutting up and
down in his pride, the rooster set on
for the back field to hnd the fox. The
hens Mapped their wings and chucked
to encourage him. and some OF the
geese and ducks said he was a brave
fowl and ought to wear silver spurs.

SENDS HIS BILLS TO THE :
shopkeeper Who Found That They
Paid Much More Promptly
Than the Women,

There is man in an eastern CITY
who does large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children, writes Edward Box, in La
dies Home Journal. He makes and
sells nothing else. His trade is almost
entirely with women. Up to within
three years ago he would send out TO
his customers bills amounting to as
much as $4,000. In six months time
he would receive less than So, 600 in re-
turn. Yet his customers all "stood
welr' and were considered women of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills.
He went over his books and found that
he had some $4,000 worth of unpaid
accounts. He made out the bills and
addressed them to the husbands or
fathers of his customers, directing the
bills to their offices. Within go DAYS
he had received $4,000 in checks. His
invariable rule now is to send all his
bills to the husbands, fathers or the
male members of his customers fami-
lies. When no male member. exists he
insists upon a cash transaction.
