FLAT FEET

A Chicago pigeon fancier boast
ed to his guest from the east that
any of his birds, if released in
New York would be back home
in Chicago the next morning. The
skepticnl fastener promptly bet
800 it wouldn't, which was COW
cred by the bird fancier.
When the New Yorker reached
home with one of the birds and
told of the wager, a friend advis-
ed him that the pigeon would fly
direct to Chicago.
"Not THIS pigeon" amounc-
ed the New Yorker, who then pro
ceeded to pluck every feather
from the haplcss bird. On casting
it adrift, he wired his Chicago
friend that the pigeon had been
freed.
Next morning he called his
friend on the long distance and
asked, "Did the pigeon show upG''
eyes" was the reply. "He
just came in, but he's suffering
from fallen arches"
