1T doesn't pay TO raise chickens in

the reason that you can only eat the
eggs, never the chickens themselves.
But why can't you eat the chick

Gould you eat your canary or your
dog? No. And for much the same rea-
son you can't eat your chickens. For
they are pets. as dogs or canaries are.
You have raised them, they have
learned to know you, they have names
that they answer to, they follow you
about the yard-in a word they like
you, and you like them"
He shuddered.
Il remember when We killed and
stewed old Mary Jane. She had
stopped laying; she was long past that

AND THEN MAMMA UNDERSTOOD.
Must Have Had a Hard Time Explain
ing 10 the Minister.

The new roinister was making his
first call and was waiting for mamma
pin the drawing room. Little sister and
her elder were holding an earnest con
fab in the hall. You dassent," said
the elder in tense, small tones. You
just see" said Little Sister, proudly.
And she danced off into the drawing
room, an angelic figure in daintiest
white, her fiossy curls of shadowy
gold clinging around neck and brow,
her big blue eyes as innocent and con
fiding as a mothers and her fiowerlike
face meriting any impulse of reverent
admiration which the occupant of the
room might be moved to feel
When mamma appeared just as Lit
tie Sister danced out Of the door again,
she thought the expression of the
minister was rather curious. and that
he seemed to be making an effort to
control it, Also his manner was EN-
barrassed and his call was very brief
Pondering over these things and
good deal puzzled, she remembered
seeing Little Sister leave the draw
ing room as she entered it. The small
maiden was forthwith summoned and
asked what she had talked about with
the minister.
"Nothing-much," she faltered.
Tell me exactly what you said to
him. mamma demanded sternly.
IT RI it wasn't anything ~ much -
just a little story Edith and I made
up to tell the janitors little girls
They were down there in the yard
when you made us come up yester-
day, and they told us such yarns,
mamma, You never heard such
things And Edith and I, We said we
wouldn't have them Growing over us
that way IL we got a chance to slip
down there again. And so We made
up a little story to tell them, and
Edith said I dassent go in and tell it
TO the minister, and so. OF course, l
did"
And what was It? Tell me exactly
what you said"
1T wasn't --anything-much.-
the small voice faltered. Il just told
him that my papa came home last
night as drunk as he could be and
kicked my mamma over and jumped
up and down on her stummick. And.
mamma, the minister did look So
funny and s'prised,"

Entering the restaurant, he looked
about him with a maleyolent eye But
nobody seemed desirious to quarrel

to know what the poet wanted. So

shook his head sadly
But the spirit OF belligerency was

Sunday Sandwich.

From Portland, Ore, comes the
story Of an absolutely new sandwich
invention for getting around the sale
OF tobacco on Sunday, except in res
taurants. In New York city the sand
wich served to justify the sale Of
liquor is at least nearly real. In Port
land they have actually invented the
cigar sandwich. A man who wants to
buy Perfecto just walks into a cigar
store and orders a Perfecto sandwich.
He gets two thick slices of bread with
his favorite between them. Then he
magnanimously gives back the bread.
The district attorney is trying to de-
termine whether a cigar sandwich is
a sandwich within the meaning of the
law.
