TOO MUCH FOR MRS. SMITH
She COULDN'T Allow Her Old Friend,
Mrs. Brown, to Keep Up Her
Dragging Remarks.

Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith were
neighbors, both were fat and both
were extremely sensitive about II.
Both tried every method they could
hear Of for losing weight, and, until
this summer, both continued to gain.
Mrs. Brown went West early In the
spring and while there managed In
some way to lose nearly thirty pounds.
When she came hack Mrs. Smith saw
her step from the taxi and realized
that her neighbor had accomplished
what TO her seemed u~nattainable.
"Hello, dearie," called Mrs. Brown
Don't you think my trip has agreed
with me? Four months In the West
certainly make a difference In one !"
Jealousy seized Mrs. Smith. The
idea Of Mrs. Brown Dragging that way
just because she weighed a few
pounds less.

STOLE HER FLOCK OF CHICKS
How Leghorn Hen Procured a Large
Family Without the Formally
Of Matching Them.

The fox is no cleverer than a Leg
horn. hen. so at least thinks one
reader of the Companion who has
read the stories that II has
printed to illustrate the cieverness Of
foxes. To justify her opinion she
tells a story of hes own. Here 1t is:
In our flock of chickens we had
only one brown Leghorn. but she was
hard to beat. One day she stole her
nest, and, though Leghorns do not. as
a rule sit, some time later she came
marching proudly into the yard fol-
lowed by a dozen little brown balls.
In a week she had following her 25
chicks of all ages ard descriptions
she had stolen them from other hens.
And besides attending TO the needs
Of that large family she began short
ly to have an g in her coop every
morning.
An interesting incident occurred on
a ~neighboring farm. A persistent lit
tie hen that was repeatedly prevented
from sitting finally disappeared and
returned some days later with seven
fluffy baby quail. She had evidently
driven the mother quail from her nest
and Matched the eggs herself. The
baby quail Obeyed her commands, and
she was very proud Of them but, in
the words Of my small brother. won't
she get the surprise of her life some
day when these little quail learn to
fly !-Youth's Companion.
