WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride in His Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.

They were going along the public
highway at a leisurely rate Of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special-cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old. stiff
jointed rooster amidships. and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steering
wheel started to slow down and to
look about for a place to turn.
His solicitous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
Isn't that just like his tender heart ?
He won't be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything"
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-
pointment. We haven't any time to
go back for anything"
CHANGING at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
You're right, Jennie; butt Just
know if / had turned back l could
have killed that old hen just as easy
as | did the rooster Judge.
