A quacl doctor stood on his wagon
in Chamberlain, selling shis cure-all.
A group of people gathered about
him, and he undertook to explain to
them the construction of the throat.
"My dear friends" he began, "per-
haps you don't know it, but there
are two passages in the throat. Ono
is called the esophagus, and the
other the esophag;. Now, the solid
victuals go down the first, and the
liquids down the second. Over the.
top of the passage is cover, with O.,
hinge down the middle, and when
you swallow beefsteak the little door
over the esophagus flies open and the
little door over the other drops
down, and vice versa when you take
a drink of coffee" This description,
proved too much for farmer, who.
shaking with laughter, called out in,
a loud voice: "Gosh! but those doors,
go fipper-fopper when a fellow eats
bread and milk."-London answers.

A Marietta man says that he has dis
covered that chickens are creatures of
habit He says-but we will give his
remarks in his own words: "As sure
as you are your grandfather's grandson
chickens are creatures of habit. Not
long ago my wife happened to be away
on Sunday, and asked me to be sure to
feed the chickens Like the obedient
husband that / am, failed not. |
made up lot of feed, generous sup
ply, and threw it out to them. Next
day | happened TO be at home with a
sick headache. At precisely the same
hour at which | had fed the fowls the
day before, was awakened from the
first bit of sleep that had visited me
since my headache commenced. by
hearing the most unearthly medly of
discordant notes mans ears ever lis
tened to. ] jumped out of bed and
went to the back door to see what it all
meant. First, ranged up in front was
venerable patriarch of a rooster, and
by his side one with a similarly loud
voice, the only variation being in sex.
She was what you might call "She-
talker T." And didn't they make noise
Then came young BOOSTERS, beautiful
fellows, trying to show their old grand
parents that they didn't know any
thing about making fuss. Ranged
near these were the "sweet girl grad
yates" who had just delivered their es-
says on the very new subject, "What
will the Future Fetch ?" | tell you
there were chickens of all ages! There
were about fifty of month old making
noise like lot of boys with the green
apple collie. There were two that had
the gapes so bad they couldn't cackle,
and they took it out in Tapping their
wings. At last l said to my wife. what
in thunder does it all mean p why,
JOHN says she, don't you know they
have come to be fed |? You are not
here every afternoon at feeding time so,
OF course, you don't know DO they
come up and make all that fuss every
afternoon p asked. 'Of course, unless
the feed is all ready when they arrive.
L will never forget my experience in
| feeding chickens. They contract the
eating habit like people do!the drink or
opium habit, and if you don't intend to
feed your chickens at exactly the same
hour every day, you had better not be-
gin it,"
