A CHICKEN FANciER
BY WILBUR e. FOSTER

Elder RufuS Rastus Brown
Took a trip ir the country round;
Nothing there escaped his eye
Cross watch dogs, hens roostng hlgn,
At last lie stopped at Parson Grays
And to the her yard made his way.
There he straight began to pack
The parson chickens in sack.
He took all birds about the place,
Hard was hi fall from holy grace
One cock c"eC aloud with vim;
He 1idnt want to go with him.
The paison heard this midnight crier'
AS he sat by c nice warm fire.
He gathered his gun, went out OF door
10 call his dog took a moment more,
Then to trc hen yard quickly ran,
Prepared to shoot his fellowman
Rufus Rastus him come,
Dropped his sack and began to run.
The carson shot, the dog did bite,
which fat Increased the elders flight.
The parson kept right after him.
Shooting with a good, true AIM
jackrabb got in the elders way;
To him they heard the elder say:
''Get ous u road, you son of a gun
Let some onc go who knows how to run!
"Wrat make. you run?'' some one asked
him,
Still going With that frghtful vim.
heard him say he went by:
"Caze i ain got wings to fy"'
