At the last poultry show held here
a friend of mine had on exhibition
number of prize fowl. One in par
ticular was a big rooster that had
pulled the peg out of the peghole in
the granary door and appeased his
appetite with choice grain. There
does not seem to be anything SO won
derful in the feat. Now, if the roos-
ter had pulled the granary out of the
peg-Eole and appeased his appetite
with the peg, or if the granary had
pulled the peg-hole out of the peg
md appeased its appetite with the
rooster, or if the peg had pulled the
rooster out of the granary and APP
peased its appetite with the peg-hole,
Or if the peg-hole had pulled the APP
petite out of the rooster and appeas-
cd the peg with the-granary, or if
the granary had pulled the rooster
cut of the peg-hole and pegged it's
appetite with the appease, then it
might be worth talking about.

probably about the same time make
8 sudden capture in the bead of her
subject of examination.
The malihini questioned the teach

ings and was enlightened as to what
ukus are.
Looking about for the male at

performer at a Chinese execution.
Up and down the line passed a teach
Ell holding a Dig tin dipper in her
hand. The dipper held vile-smell-
ing, brown-colored liquid which she
toured over the heads and into the
hair of the youngsters. Part your
hair on this side, now" she would
! say There, that's it. Now on the
ether side. Close up that ear or you'll
