ing Side to II.

Some years ago, while living In the
suburbs, we kept few chickens; our
neighbors also had chickens. After
the garden season Was over we let
them run, as did our nelghbors. In
this way I suppose they got more or
less mixed.
One day decided to have u chicken
for dinner, and, not liking to kill It
myself-my husband being away
asked our neighbor II he would kill
II for me. He kindly consented, so !
brought out the particular fowl l had
selected. He killed It. and / thanked
him and proceeded to prepare it fol-
dinner.
When dinner was over l went out
tG feed the chickens. What was my
surprise to find among them the fowl
thought l had just eaten. 1t was my
neighbours chicken had asked him to
kill for me.
OF course. lost no time In making
apologies-and also insisted that they
take ours instead, and they had q
good laugh at my expense.

complaint of numerous citizens
that they mad been arrested on

various amounts all the way from

w. Chamlee has given it as his
opinion that the magistrates are
violating the law in this matter;
that the law requires a fine of SIS
on conviction for this offense and
a magistrate has no right to im-
pose less fine nor has he a right
to remit the fine when once it is
imposed, Itseems that in most
OF these arrests the offender has
been let off with the costs.
