CHICKENS

Col. 4. T. Hubbard relates thrill
ing experience which he had With a
would-be chicken thief who visited his
poultry yard yesterday morning. It
was 2 a. m. and Mr.. Hubbard was in
deep slumber, with no untoward mem
tai visions to disturb his repose. when
his wife called gently and said some
one was stealing their chickens. The
Colonel has a choice selection Of fowls,
all OF which he was preparing to trans
fer TO his farm, and he couldn't bear
the thought Of losing even one. Ac-
cordingly he got out of bed and taking
his trusty sixshooter, quietly stole out
to the poultry yard and shot once just
to scare the thief. His brother, who
was also sleeping in the house, now
came out and they made thorough
search of the premises. The intruder
had disappeared, but they found big
wire hook which the party had left
and which had been used as a means
Of trying to reach the chickens. It
was a heavy wire, perhaps six feet
long with hook on the end.
One very fine Hamburg hen Is miss
ing. but the Colonel entertains the
hope that she has stolen her nest out
and is sitting

l HAVE LIVED.

have lived-ah, yes, I have livedl
Whatever the note hear
OF human joy or human woe, in my
heart the echo rings clear;
My path has led over toughest hills
and through the fowery leas,
And sometimes tempests have swept
the way, and sometimes the sum
mer breeze.
1 have loved and have hated, I have
sinned and 1 have prayed,
And oft have sought with bitter tears
the path from which I strayed.
1 know the woe that makes the world
look gray and worn and old,
1 know the bliss that lights the sky
with amethyst and gold;
And yet, o life, l cannot read the rid
die that thou art,
Or whether given for good or ill-foT
both are in my heart.
