A Gentle Hint.
A lady who suffered from a neigh
bor's fowls that overrun and spoiled
her garden politely asked her neighbor
several limes to keep hie pet* at
home, but no attention was paid te
her grievance. Finely she hit upon an
ingenious method of protecting her
self. 8be prepared grains of corn by
tying to them with a strong thread
small cards bearing the words, "Plea··
keep your chickens at home," and dis
tributed the grains about her flower
bede. The chickens came to feast ·■
usual and greedily swallowed the corn,
not precelvlng the thread until the
card was against their beaks. Then
they could neither swallow the card
nor rid themselves of the swallowed
corn. Twenty or thirty of the maraud
ers ran home, bearing the polite re
quest to their culpable owner, who,
struck with the method of the hint,
promptly cut the threads and cooped
up his fowls.—Bombay Times.
Drinkers' Logie.
"Men drink." said a temperance lec
turer. "becauso they are happy, be
cause they are sad, because they are
too warm, because they lire too cold.
Is there any logic In that?
"When 1 seo men drinking I think of
a little boy at the seashore.
"This little boy, at play with his
bucket and shovel In the sand, sud
denly ran to the edge of an advancing
wave and, scooping up a handful of
salt water and foam, drank It greed
ily.
'"Ob, don't drink that,' said his
uurso. 'It will make you thirsty.'
'"What if it does?' said he. 'Ther·'·
plenty more.' "
