CHICKENS.


The chickens are getting mighty
bold this summer. You can see them
any afternoon or evening-mostl i'll
pairs-strolling- along the most pub
lie streets and staring at the men. And
they have the bol6est stare you ever
saw. 1t is entirely devoid of any of
the sweetness or innocence that one
would expect in the glance of a IL
year old or 16 year old girl. 1t is as
hard as flint, and so full of worldly
wisdom that it almost makes one shud-
der to behold. The chickens spar for
a mans glance and when they are
sure they have caught it, they strut up
the street-hands on hips, noses in the
air. and a silly giggle floating behind.
You can see them any afternoon, seek
ing out the crowds of men on the
bank corners, or swinging their legs
on a seat on some side street, or keep
ing date at the postoffice. Isn't there
a law that prevents chickens from
running at large ?-Emporia Gazette.
