The Intelligent Hen.

From the Glencoe O<an.) Mirror.
 You can talk about your game chickens and every other one being smart, but Il farms- on Route 3. from Glencoe. has some Leghorn chickens which lead them all for ingenuity. The farmer wished to keep the chickens out of his barn where he was shelling corn and he fixed screen over the entrance. leaving hole near the top, about 10 feet from the ground as an outlet for the cobs. He gathered eggs from his barn every day, but could not imagine how those chick ena gained admittance to lay them. One morning he chanced to sec hen perched on the back Of an old red COW near the small entrance left for the cobs. and eyer little bit she would scratch the cov endeavoring to make her move closer to the entrance She. however. discovered another COW nearer to it and jumped over on her and by giving leap, she landed inside the barn, thus baffline in, tact of her owner. How is this for a tactful chicken?

The fact is. this money question in
matrimony is not half so important as
it seems. Happiness is what the aver
age young man and woman seek in
matrimony. Their personal charact-

adaptability to circumstances, are
more vital. and when love is young,
life on small rations oftcn becomes the
happiest sort of existence, all the
sweeter because Of the small sacrifices
entailed.
Young couples that keep house in a
