He's Not a Chicken Faneler.

He's Not . Chicken Fancler.
Speaking Of chickens, a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted, un-
certainest creatures that walk the
family acres. Almost everybody tries
to raise chickens at one time or an
other. Looks easy-that's the deceiv-
ing part Of 1t.
"And 1t is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. II there is any change
of an intellectual nature as the size
increases the big ones know less If
possible than the little ones.
If there is a wire partition In your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead Of going around and
walking through the door,"

hours separate him from his family.
The rescuerers were delighted to-
day when the living occupant Of the
subterranean room announced that he
had just woke UP from couple OF
hours sleep. He complained late yes
terday afternoon Of being Ill and the
doctors sent some medicine including
a laxative which afforded him relief.
