midnight, Jimmie start* off and all the rest join in and keep it op till morning, Not only does it keep us awake but it has saba- taged the morale of the whole barnyard, When the roosters try to crow in the daytime their voices are dry and throaty, they are bleary eyed and droopy looking for want of sleep and take little, if any, interest in their barnyard duties. I noticed a pert Rhode Island hen give Jimmie the glad eye. He made an effort to live up to his reputation as a gay Lochinvar and tried to strut around her but he was so groggy and weary from his night's carousing that he tripped over his own feet and fell sprawling on the ground. She was so disgusted that she walked off and left him with her beak in the air. Not only has the peace of the barnyard been shot full of holes, but the domestic tranquilty of the household is threatened. Ma’s usual good nature is showing sisns of wear. At times she is almost peevish and says she is tired of laying awake listening to roosters crowing, dogs barking and owls hootin’. I took the chop ping block out to the henhouse, laid the ax on it and told them that this nightly crowfest must stop or Ma would have chicken and dumplings for dinner. No use, they still crowed. I meant what I said at the time, but when I went out the next morning I couldn't do it. They looked so dejected and woebegone that I felt sorry for them! I knew how they felt for it reminded me of some of the hangovers I, my self, have had in the past. I can’t I Trouble on the Hill... I am sleepy.

ITS SHOCK-RESISTANT DUSTPROOF Horace Dribble, of the funnies, and his infatuation for the couch. It is all on account of Jimmie, the rooster. Some time ago a friend of mine, at least I thought he was a friend at the time, told me a wonderful Hampshire Cock erell he was going to give me. He dwelt at length on his lineage and beauty and I remember he especially mentioned the clarion tenor of his crow. In the course of time he brought the rooster down and I will have to admit that he was a lordly bird, brilliant hued, and carried himself with a pround insouciance that won the admiration of the hens and the envy of the ether roosters. I wanted to name him Jimmie James in honor of the donor but we com promised on just "Jimmie”. I have called him other names since then and had I known the trouble he was to cause, the sleepless nights, the jangled nerves, I would not have accepted him as a gift or anything else. Evidently "Jimmie” was raised in a community of night hawks for promptly at twelve o'clock he started crowing and soon had all the other roosters crowing with him, each trying to crow the other down. The banty, that roosts n the tree, awoke and joined in with his shrill crowing, then an owl in the top of the fir trees added his hooting to the uproar. Bingo the pup awakened and began barking, the guineas became alarm ed and added their machinegun chattering. What a bedlam. And is the same every night. VERNONIA, ORE.

They walk along talking— Easy on one side. Handy on the other—picking up the fallen stones and putting them back. Afterwards, over a friendly glass of beer, Easy says, “Ypu know, wall-mending is a nice neigh borly custom, but we really don’t need that wall. We keep it up just because it happens to be there.” “Yes,” says Handy, "a lot of walls and fences and boundaries keep on separating people for no good reason. Maybe we’d all bm better off if some of them were torn down, instead of kept standing."’ From where I ait. Handy said at mouthful. Take the “walls of in tolerance” that people build up against each other. I like a tem perate glass of beer now and then, you may prefer buttermilk—but that’s no reason for me to criticiau- you, or you, me.
