The Record says:
Harvest is completed in this section
and the farmers report good crop
of oats and other small grain. The

shape. Mrs. Myrtle Hickok recently
dug a hill containing twenty-four po-
tatoes of very good size.

Quite number of horses in the har-

last week, and few deaths are report

great care should be taken that hard

middle horse. They should be changed
often and watered every two or three
hours.

of course quite startled, and made up
his mind it was entirely too hot to

when he discovered that he had, in
advertently, placed the alcohol lamp
under the thermometer, which caused
the instrument to register such high
temperature.

Columbus, Kan, March 20.-Over at
Chetopa they are having all kinds OF
fun with Will Jackman, a young man
of that place, because Parsons tele-
phone operator, who proposed to him,
failed to meet him at Oswego at the
time the wedding was to take place.
When the telephone operator pro-
posed TO Jackman, he accepted readily
and went around town Dragging that
he was the first Chetopa man to re-
ceive a leap year proposal.
The girl whom he had never met,
promised to meet him in Oswego, and
they were to nc married there without
delay. Jackman took one of his friends
along to witness the ceremony, but
they were disappointed. The young wo-
man failed to appear.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE OLD GRAY HEN.

"Oh, DEAR" said the Old Gray Hen
what a life this is l don't see any
thing in this sort of life, and propose
TO change it until it is more to my
liking and more as the life of such a
fine hen as I am should be-
Old Daddy Gander happened along
just as the Gray Hen finished talking
to herself What's the matter this
morning." he asked.
There's matter enough said Gray
Hen. What have we fowls to live
/ for. | scratch and you waddle and |
/ scratch, and what does it all amount
to? Something has got to be done,
and, if no one else will do it, why |
shall. Things are going TO be differ
| ent with me-"
! Il guess I'll keep on as | am said
/ Old Daddy Gander, as he waddled
away.
Good morning, Gray Hen" said
Madam Duck what a fine day we
are going to have; the water will be
nice and warm for my ducklings. and
/ can give them a nice good swim in
/ the pond"
1T is neither a good morning, nor
! is it going to be fine day, and as for
+ swimming in the pond, if l had to
mother a lot of children with as home
| ly feet as your brood has | would want
to keep them in the water all the
/ time SO that no one could see them"
what a mean disposition Gray Hen
has said Madam Duck to the turkey
gObbler as she went on her way to the
pond. 81 tried to be agreeable to her
and she insulted me and spoke so I'M
kindly of my children that | felt quite
like crying"
Il almost wish that she had been
little more unkind," said the gobbier
| for | have never seen duck crying
and | imagine it might be an almost
amusing sight. Perhaps Gray Hen
needs some of my good advice, and
will walk over shortly and see her"
But the old gobbler was saved his
trouble, for in few minutes he saw
Gray Hen coming down the path to-
ward him. AS she came up to him he
said: what miserable feeling
morning this, Mrs Hen; my feathers
will none of them lie straight, and
every worm that l have tasted for
breakfast has been bitter"
You are quite right" said Gray
Hen. 1T is just like all mornings re-
Gently, uncomfortable and disagree
able, and there does not seem to be
any promise of anything better"
you are quite right" said the COB
bier.
II have always felt said Gray Hen,
that you, Mr.. Gobbler, never got half
your deserts in the barnyard. If had
any voice in the matter | would sug-
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1916-03-20

gest that you be recognized as supe-
rior to the rooster. But you see the
hens have nothing to say, although
some day | feel sure that it will be
different"
you are very kind, said the COB
bier, and | feel as you do, while
have no wish to be the ruler of the
yard, that the hens should have more
to say. You should at least have in
dependence and do as you like"
"Oh, l have determined on that al
ready" said Gray Hen. and she told
him how she had decided TO lay no
more eggs and to scratch as little as
she had TO.
Well" said the gobbler, Il must be
off and see that none of those turkey
hens get so far out in the wood that
they cannot find their way back again.
l certainly gave the kind of advice
she wanted" he said, when he had
got out of her hearing, land that was
easier than getting into an argument"
Old Gray Hen, however, was as good
as her word. She stopped laying eggs
and the amount of gravel that she
scratched was scarcely worth men
tioning She stole worms from the
younger chickens who were too polite
to punish a hen so old as she was, and,
altogether, she became a general nuis-
ance to the rest of the barnyard flock.
They could not protect themselves.
but Farmer Johnson, walking through
the yard one day, noticed that the Old
Gray Hens toes had grown to a most
unusual length. II guess she doesn't
do much scratching" he said as he
passed along, land l suspect she
doesn't lay many eggs. | must ask
mother about it when | get back to
the house.
NO" said Mother Johnson when he
asked her. Il haven't found an egg in
Gray Hens nest for a month or more"
"She won't pay to winter, then"
said Farmer Johnson. I'VE had bet
ter eat her" And the following Sun
day when they brought a big platter
of steaming fricasse to the table, that
was the end of Old Gray Hen.

neck is pretty cen though she have a
face like homing pigeon.)
You lean over, you implant a chaste

Which is the female for. I've got

Do You Take Leap Year Seriously?
BY FLORENCE E. IODER

Since it is to be supposed that this

men and by women, two sets of ad
vice must be given. TO men we would
say: If you don't take leap year Sc,
riously, look out. 1t is the most in
sidious, malicious, subtle institution
in this wide world
To women we would say: Take leap
year seriously, but don't let anyone
know it, Then you can hog-throw
and tie your quarry without any diff
Guilty, and he will spend the rest of
his life telling how it was all HIS
fault.
In the first place, the most unattrac-
tive, angular, wise damsels are the
ones to whom leap year is boon By
the most subtle. silly, simple hints,
and foxy. deceiying methods they in
trude upon the willy bachelor, and, I'M
der the guise Of fun, suggest marriage

They, being the hunters. are PRE-
PARED, and have all of their ammuni-
ton packed away for years siege.
They invite, with perfect impunity, to
the dance, the card party, and the
little social evening at home"
Oh, my dear brothers.
