A man living somewhere east of the
city has lost several chickens lately
and having no desire to sit up nights
to watch the coop, rugged an ingenious
electrical continuance that would give
T! the fowl litter a distinct shock when
he came around the next time. 1t cost
him several dollars for battery and
the necessary wire, but he enjoyed
putting it in place and chuckled with
delight when he thought of the howl
the thief would give when he grabbed
the live hook on the hennery door.
But he was disappointed. The thief
came the very next night, but he made.
no outcry. Two fat hens were missing
the next morning from the roost and
in their place was pinned the following
| note:
You're all right, old man, but YOU
want to remember that you're figuring
with up-to-date people. That little
electrical scheme of yours is old. Rub
Der soled shoes and pair of rubber
gloves are always part of our out
fit. And you'll have to invent some
thing more ingenious IL you want to
startle us. confiscated all of your
wire that could reach-it may come
in handy when build henyard.
Yours sincerely,
HENRY FOWLGRABBER.
And now the neighbors, who are re-
sponsible for this story, say that the
coop owner sits on the back porch half
the night with a shot gun across his
knees. waiting for the nefarions
scientist to climb the rear fence.
A farmer north of town has RAISED,
some excellent potatoes this season
but was surprised on digging into one
hill to find one potato trying to wear
a ring. 1t appeared to be a ferrule
of an umbrella and was of solid on
rolled gold at that. The potatoes
among which the ring or ferrule was
found are known as Gold Coin" and
the gentleman will plant more of them
next year and see If there is any other
gold kicking about his place. How the
| ferrule came in the hill is mystery.
but it is thought to have found it's
way there through the fertilizer.
