Four-Footed Poultry.

A certain old man in the Wynchope
settlement, named Buckley, was ex-
ceedingly fond of big words" He
was riding hi horse over the country
one bright spring day, apparently in
tent on some important business.
Whenever he met anybody. he grave
ly asked Have you seen anything of
any stray poultry today? I've lost
mine. and am hunting it," When they
told him NO." he would proceed on
his way.
After spending several hours in
what seemed to be a vain search, he
at last rode up to the door of a farm
house and called: ''Hello!" A lady
came to the door, and dofiing his hat
very politely, the old man inquired II
she had noticed any stray poultry
round?"
After a moments thought, the wom-
an told him she had seen no chickens.
"Oh." he replied, its my hogs that
I've lost-not my chickens. Youths

To the Editors of the Kennebec Jour-

whole of this section for the Republic
can party and announces the demise
of the Progressive party in this Sec
ton. | believe that you want the facts
and so l will present them here. You
mention specifically only the two
towns of Palmyra and Athens. Of the
former you say that less than dozen
Progressives are to be found there.
In that town ON Wednesday at go P.
M. A voters were in attendance to
hear H. P. Gardner and E. M. Thomp-
son at a Progressive rally and before
mittee of 20 was organized and there
are at least 80 in the town who have
pledged themselves to vote the Pro-
gressive ticket. This mistake Is all
the more curious as one of the gentle
men who is responsible for your fig
ures resides in this same town.
In Athens you claim the acquisition
of a Prohibitionist but, as your cor
respondents probably know. the Pro-
gressives are we'll organized there and
moreover wa have Democratic sheriff
who is responsible for all the enforce
ment we are getting. Harmony is
true blue Progressive, the only other
live party in town being the Demo-
cratic. Cornville has Its quota of loyal
Progressives. The man who said
that there were not enough Progress
sives in St Adams to play checkers
will find quite checkerboard full be-
