Never saw any poultry put on airs durin' my mortal ex- istence over personal adornment like that rooster did over his peg-leg. Actually he regarded 1t as a ornament, same as if it was a part of his toilette; he strutted around scandalous. crowin' constantly, sticlSin' his peg up in the atmosfear for all to admire. Every mornin he'd hop up on the back porch, and hold out that adornment for another application of the meat skin.
 Wouldn't budge a foot until that sur gical appliance had been fabricated. He was positively insultin' to the hens with whom he came in social contact If one of them female fowls failed to notice him at once. he'd jab her in the slats with that wooden leg, same as if he was her husband. Got so he'd sit back on his sail and pretend to pick his teeth with that artificial limb, just as he seen me do after dinner. Gents, believe me, he put on dog, fearful, and you can take 1t from me that the rest of them fowls simply hated him. One Sunday mornin I was squattin on the back porch greasin my shoes with meat skin, and other wise preparing for church, when I seen a long line of fowls come marchin' outen the chicken yard headed by venerable hen They headed straight for where I was Upon reachin' me every last one of thern fowls laid over on their backs, and stuck out one leg as hint to me to fix 'em on a equality, socially, with little peg-leg.
