THE WHITE LEGHORN.
“I can lay as manv as one hundred
and eighty eggs, and so I shall boast,"
said the White Leghorn of the barn
, y» rd.
“I beep roosters away from eating
up all the food,” said the dog. “I am
going to bo&st.”
“I can make believe this stick Is a
bear,” said the small boy, “and when
I want to pretend my bear is angry. I
throw my stick about. It’s a make
believe bear. I can boast, because it
is very nice of me to have a good
time with such a poor sort of make
believe bear as a stick.”
“I can boast,” said Mr. Rooster, “for
I call the Mrs. Hens to eat very, very
often; that Is generous of me.”
“I can boast,” said Red Top, the
Rooster, “because I Viffen give the oth
er creatures a part of a worm I dig
frcnt the ground.”
“I can boast,” said a bantam lien,
"because I stole five chickens and had
them us my own.” '
“That Is nothing to boast about,"
said another bantam, “for I took care
of some chickens whose mother had
left them. That is something to real
ly boast of.”
“Still you enjoyed taking care of us,
didn't you. Mother Bantam?” asked
the chickens.
“Cluck, cluck, I did,” said Mother
Bantam.
“And we can boast, for we were
good children,” said the chickens.
“Mrs. Bantam must want to sit on
some eggs,” said Mrs. Duck, “and that
Is why she is clucking. At other times
she would cackle. I shall boast of be
ing so smart as to know that.”
“We have been hitched up and driv
en,” said two of the pigs from the pig
pen. “That shows we’re smart.”
“And I have seen that the whole
family got up,” said the rooster, sit
ting on the fence.
“Without me they couldn’t get the
good well water,” said the pump. “I
alsr can do my boasting."
“We’re a handsome pair; we're Miss
and Master Calf, good looking and
gentle. We are both of those things,"
they said.
“We help the farm and are very
healthy,” said the toads.
“The same can he said of us.”
agreed the frogs.
“Well, we are really healthy,” said
the toads.
“And we’re really healthy, too," said
the frogs.
“I suppose that Is so." sold one of
the toads.
“Of course it is true, goog-a-rum,
goog-a-rnnt, of course, It Is true,” said
the frogs.
IHI I—i n w—c<—
“\Ce grow up quickly.” sniil the Big
Weed ; ‘‘that shows we're generous.”
“And we're nice enough to thorough- i
ly enjoy you,” sold the pigs, r noting
and squealing excitedly.
“We do the same," said I he Silver
Weed. “We grow so quickly.”
“Ah, but you do harm to the farm
er’s plants, just ns the pig weed does,"
said the rooster.
“No matter,” said the pigs; "It is
far more important that they do good
to us."
“Well, if you think so,” said the
rooster,
“Of course we think so. and our
thoughts are right and correct, to our
selves. at any rate." said the pigs.
“Well, you are fed by both those
plants, that’s true,” said the White
Leghorn, who had been trying to
speak for some time. "But still, those :
twr weeds most certainly do I arm to
the farmer's plants. There is no mis
take about tlint.”
“We're helping the tins of milk to
cool." said the buckets of water.
“We're going to cool off the farmer's
children after the heat of the day."
“Couldn’t have done it if you hadn't
us to cool.” said the tins of tnilk.
“That is, you couldn't have done the
same good, kind act for the children.
We the milk tins, and the rnttk inside
the tins, are doing the best part.”
“Not a hit of it." said Mrs. Cow.
“When you’re speaking of milk, never
forget Mrs. Cow."
“I hatched in the summer, ns I al
ways do,” said Mrs. Men. “I wouldn’t
make my little ones have to stand the
cold of tiie winter. The spring or the
summer Is the time I choose.”
“Oli. quiet, quiet.” shouted the
White Leghorn. “Here I started in to
boast, and all of you had to do the
same thing, and such absurd boast
ings, too. But. anyway. It has shown
me one thing-—to hear nil the boast
ings—that none of you come up to me
and my one hundred and eighty eggs.”
Temporary Expedient.
“What shall we do to remedy the
high cost of living?"
“I’ll see if I can’t get a Job to as
sist In investigating It. Maybe the
salary will be enough to help tide us
HUMOROUS FLASHES

"I should say not. I haven’t even
go# tomorrow’s meals provided for."

1 can tell you.” "1 know it is. I've
heard its class yell."
Very Rough.

Heard in a Restaurant.
“Is there too much dressing on your
salad, sir?"
“Yes; mke it hack and undress It."
Good Recommendation.
"Who was the man who taught you
not to forget anything?” “Why it was
—ah—er—it—was—”—Farm Life.
Indefinite.
“What about that vacuum Invention
of your friend'*?”
“Oh, there's nothing In it.”

"The days are growing short.”
“That's nothing. So Is everybody,"
One Exception.

Did you know that ages ago Mother Goose was Queen of
France ? 'Tis said that one of her feet was like that of a goose. This
is the story of how she came by this oddity: During a royal hunt the
Queen’s horse'stumbled, throwing his rider. Getting up, she found
her foot to be terribly hurt. The hunters by then were far off and it
was many miles to her palace.
■ f U \) WTI Hi
-c.K1 „_^ _ttELL-U
Trudging painfully along, the good Queen met a goose To her
surprise it asked why she limped. The Queen told. “I will glady give
you my foot, O my Queen," answered the goose. "But once we
exchange feet the spell cannot be broken and you shall have to wear
a goose-foot for the remainder of your life." The Queen, in trigbt
ful pain, willingly consented. The n they exchanged addresses.
\( ]- * ,
Ki v * ''rn"‘r' ^ •»v c
Thereafter the Queen visited the goose whenever the King went
hunting. One day she returned from a visit to find the Palace gates
closed upon her. A court lady who envied the Queen had discovered
her secret. Upon being told, the hard-hearted King, declaring that he
wanted no goose-tooted wife, had married the tattle-tale lady
\n ^
So sEe returned to the goose’s nome Here she lived aha grew
old and wore different clothes so that none would recognize her I
Every one called her Mother Goose- Here also she wiote stories
about geese artrf other folks she met She was very happy indeed
For she said it was better to live under the sky with honest geese than ;
in a palace with jealous, tattling, hard-hearted people.l
