DIDN'T "RAISE" THE CHICKENS
But Evidently Dealer Hadn't Quite
Comprehended Question Asked
by His Customer.

Here is little story that was told
by Congressman William G. AdamsOn
of Georgia when the conversation
turned to natural misunderstanding
A young housewife who lives in
suburban town went to the village
store to make some purchases.
These chickens look very NICE re-
marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter. How much are
they?"
"One dollar apiece, madam was the
prompt response of the obliging pro-
prietor you can't find better poul-
try for the money in the whole coun-
try"
Zone dollar" thoughtfully unused
the customer, and then added: did
you raise them?"
"Oh, no, madam" was the hasty
assurance of the misunderstanding
storekeeper. THAT is the same price
I offered to sell them for yesterday"

COULD RECOGNIZE NUISANCE
Judges Retort Set Courtroom Laugh

City Magistrate Krotel, who is noted

cruel shaft loose upon a pestiferous
young attorney this week, to the SUI

young attorney was prosecuting in q
case where the maintaining OF a nui-

Magistrate Krotel did not please him.
His numerous objections became per-
sistentIy controversial. If your honor
pleases,' he said, II would not pre-

in a question of law, but am impelled
to observe that I doubt-in the pres

properly conceives Of what constitutes
a nuisance"
You are mistaken, sir" was the re-

GetCe ours Railroad Comnt..-~.-."
The resignation OF L. E. Gettle, as
secretary of the railroad commission,
was fled with the commission to take
effect January l next. TO reason is
given for the change by members OF
the commission, and Mr.. Gettle, very
properly, refuses to give cut any in
timation as to the cause for his leave
taking. No formal action has been
taken by the commission, but the
resignation will be accepted, as eVeE
since the appointment Of the two new
members of the commission it has
been generally accepted that Mr.. Get
tie would eventually be forced to leave.
A successor to Mr. Gettle will not ba
selected for some time, but the I'M
preston prevails that the new secre
tary will come from the present forcs
Of the commission. The two most
prominent possibilities are H. L. Gels
Sc, at present assistant secretary, and
Col. w. ]. Anderson, publicity agent,
field and Upham, later member OF
the tax commission.
Mr.. Gettle will close a term of serv.
ice extending over four years as
secretary OF the commission, having
been appointed to succeed John M.
Winterbotham, who resigned during
1912. Previous to that time Mr.. Gettle
had served as a member Of the as.
sembly, and later became candidate
for the state senate from Rock and
Walworth counties. He has never in
his career shown any marked sympa-
thy for the present administration, or
the policies it represents, which may
account for his departure.
Mr. Gettle has made no plans but is
expected to resume the practice OF
law, either at Madison, or his home
town, Edgerton.
