several dozen large fawn-colored eggs,
complained that she was not appre-
ciated. "See that hen there, she hasn't
laid as many eggs as have, nor as big,
but she has books written about her
and verses written in her honor, while
nobody is saying a word about me. "
"The trouble with you is," said wise
rooster that was standing near, you
don't tell the public what you have done.
You lay an egg and waddIe off without
saying word, but that sister of mine
never lays one without letting every
body in the neighborhood know about
it. If you want to cut any ice in thi.
community you must learn to adver
tise."
