Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, is given
credit for this story, told on his recent
visit to Methodist convention at St.
Joseph. 1t isrelated by the Rev. Mr..
Williams, pastor of the Baptist church,
OF Pleasant Hill, who happened to hear
it.
According to Senator Gore, there was
an accomplished hen with brood of
chickens-fve roosters and five pullets.
The chicks matured and went their va
ious ways, while the mother hen busted
herself with a new brood. In course of
time Methodist ministers came into
the vicinity of Chickenville to hold a
conference, and as might be suspected,
the five young roosters, fat yellow-leg-
ged, and extremely tender, were feast
ed upon by various and sundry preach
ers. The young pullets, left behind,
were met by the mother hen day or
so later. my children" she asked,
"where are your brothers?"
"They have entered the ministry"
Bracing herself up from the shock of
disclosure, a look Of resignation spread
over Biddy's countenance as she re-
piled:

the best, They would not have made

Oscar Hammerstein opened his

al the Manhattan this week, and the
American public vindicated Itself Of
the charge of lack of art appreciation
by flooding the famous producers

fiees with dollars, cen the sweaty
dollars of the proletariat. For FASH

Perhaps Mr.. Hammersteln, (whis-

is aware of the fact that human ma
