A Cowardly Fowl.

Mrs. Jones bought a chicken ai the family butcher shop, and after embellishing it with |bread crumbs, celery, cranberry sauce and other glad things she proudly set it before the head of the family. ’’What is the matter, John?’’ askcd the young wife, with an anxious look as hubby laboriously carved the bird-and began to apply it to his appetite. “Isn’t the chicken all right?’’ “Why, yes; I guess he is all right, dear, was the hesitating response of father. “But I fear he w r as a very great coward.’’ “A great coward!” returned the perplexed wife. “What do you mean?” “Don’t they say, Mary,” smilingly rejoined the old man, “that the bravest are always the tenderest?” Philadelphia Telegraph.
