1t was during the maneuyers. a
British weekly tells us, that a soldier
was being tried for shooting a
chicken on prohibited ground.

manding officer to the farmer who
brought the accusation, ARE you quite
certain that this man shot your bird?
Will you swear to it"

canny farmer, but | will say he's the

That's not enough to convict a
man. retorted the officer, considerably
nettled. What raised your sus-
p%icions?"
We'll sir. replied the sturdy
farmer, as he slowly mopped his fore
head with his b%andanna, Il saw i'm

sack; and it didn't seem sensible
somehow to think the bird committed
suicide."-Youth's Companion.
