John G. Zepp of the circuit court,
who Is known to his friends as Jack
tells one about negro funeral Grafton
which he overheard:
"The preacher, who was wearing
the conventional silk high hat, white
vest and Prince Albert coat, didn't be-
lieve in being stingy with his bless
ings. He began by blessing the corpse,
then he blessed the pallbearers. the
members of the family of the dear
departed BROTHER the mourners, the
neighbors, and everybody, in fact, he
could think of. and ended with this
eXhortation:
"An', good Lord, be merciful and

Fremont I.ounsbury saw emerging
from II shell u little bnll OF fur win
n half-chicken alongside. The whoie
fowl was perfect. The half fowl had
no wings, neck or head. Otherwise IL
was all n chicken should be.
Lounsbury explains the birth OF the
chicken and a half in most convinc'
ing manner. He says that some time
ago one of his hens was run over by
II motorcycle with II side car attached.
He did not think much of the accident
ut the time, but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the one that laiu
the egg that produced the chicken ana
n half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject to pre-
natal influence.

Druggists Hard Luck.

An amateur poultryman received n
shipment of fancy perfume atOmiZers
for the holiday trade.
After he had tried n few on his
friends and had arranged the stock on
the shelves he went home to say good
night to his hens and to gather what
eggs had been laid during the day.
He reached into one nest and felt
fur, which turned out to be fur Of n
genuine willow pussy in the full flush
and vigor of young pussyhood.
He says he didn't mind his expert

as he does the foolish comments of
