GOOD JOKES

TWO NEIGHBORS. Two neighbors kept hens and quarreled because they scratched each other’s potato rows up. One Bold his hens unknown to the other, who made a large run and fastened his hens up, saying: "Now,‘the first hen I see in my garden I shall shoot.” Next day he saw a hen scratching as usual, so he got the gun and shot it, then threw it over his neighbor’s rails, saying, “Take your hen!” The hen was picked up, taken in, and cooked. u The toileting days the same thing happened!' Still the neighbor took them up and said nothing, till the seventh came over and hit him on the head. Then he picked it up and threw it back qt his neighbor, saying: “Eat your old hens. We are tired of eating thfem, and prefer a little pheasant. I sold my hens over a month since!”— Tit-Bits,
