It was found that the desert ocotillo

IT ALWAYS has been so and always
will be so. In anger prejudice re-
places justice and some one is sure
to be the victim of it. Anger cannot
weigh evidence in fairness and doesn't
try to.
Down the road toward Farmer
Browns house came man with gun
Farmer Browns Boy saw him coming
and wondered about that gun for this
was Neighbor Jones and Neighbor
Jones never went hunting Besides
the open season on all game had
closed. He turned in at Farmer
Browns
Have you lost any hens lately?"
he demanded abruptly as he ap-
preached Farmer Browns Boy.
The latter shook his head. No.
said he. I'VE keep our hens shut up
at night and don't let them out of
the henyard during the day. Have
you lost some?"
"A fat pullet late yesterday after
noon just as I was going out to shut
the hens up for the night and now
I'm looking for the thief" replied
Neighbor Jones grimly.
Il hope you don't think I'm the
thief" cried Farmer Browns Boy in
mock alarm
Neighbor Jones grinned. NO" said
he. If did would hardly be look
ing for you with gun. But I do
suspect you of harboring the thief"
"Gracious!" exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy. Next thing I know
you'll be accusing me Of receiving
stolen goods"

that. but of being an accessory per-
haps. You see believe the thief lives
on your farm and that you know he
does and probably just where"
If you mean Reddy Fox"-began
Farmer Browns Boy.
But I don't" interrupted Neigh
Dor Jones.
Then who is it?" Farmer Browns
Boy demanded.
"A Great Horned OWL" replied
Neighbor Jones.
How do you know?" Farmer
Browns Boy asked.
Saw him." was the short reply.
Did you see him actually catch
that pullet?" was the next question.
Saw him fly away with it and that
IS all the evidence I need. What is
more, he flew in this direction and
have an idea he is living over in that
piece of woods of yours. That is why
I am over here. The thief got nv
pullet and now want the thief" was
the angry reply.
DO you mean that you will shoot
Hooty if you get the chance?" asked
Farmer Browns Boy.
Certainly" replied the irate farmer
Hes vermin. That's what he is
vermin. All Owls, Hawks, Foxes,
Skunks and Weasels ought to be shot
They are killers, meat eaters, all of
them!"
"And you?" asked Farmer Browns
Boy softly.
What about me?" asked his neigh
Dor looking bit puzzled
DO you eat meat?" was the next
question.
OF course eat meat" replied
Neighbor Jones.
But you don't have to, while these
feathered and furred folks do have to.
Yet you condemn them" retorted
Farmer Browns Boy.
That's different" snapped Neigh
Dor Jones. who was rapidly losing his
temper. That Owl stole one of my
pullets and I don't intend that he shall
get any more. Do you know where
his roost is, or don't you?"
He didn't know he was stealing"
replied Farmer Browns Boy.
He'll know it if I find him." re-
torted the farmer angrily.
