A little boy in Deering, Me., was brought before his father recently and accused of killing a chicken. “Who told you about it?” asked the boy. "The hen did,” said the father. Nothing more was said that day, but the pext morning the hen was found dead, and the boy, being accused of killing It, qdmitted it, saying in defense, “Yes, I did kill the hen, and I’ll kill every hen that tells on me.”
