The boys are all wondering who will be the next one to take the step. 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.'
