with an egg. He went to Ber-

But the portly proprietor happened
to be out Then the farmer con-
cluded that he'd take the egg to the
Bazaar and swap it for a thrashing-
machine. BY this time news of
what the man had with him became
generally known. Places of business
were at once deserted and the chase
began. Even housewives. armed
with hat-pins and potato-mashers
joined in the pursuit. resolved to
become possessed Of the treasure or
perish in the attempt. Seeing the
crowd at his heels, the farmer in
creased his speed But, alas. he
stlbbed his tee in fact, all the toes
of one foot fell, and broke the egg.
Thereupon the crowd set upon him
and began to beat him. However,
they desisted when the man shouted
that another of his hens showed
symptoms of becoming the mother
of an egg, and that. if allowed to
go without further punishment, he
would next Saturday bring the pros
pective egg to town and rattle it off
at five dollars a throw. with only
a hundred chances sold. so that
everybody d have show.
