Publicity

* — (By Walt Mason J. I Piaaso note this little fact, 1 bog:— | It is the hen that lays the egg; the rooster doe* the yelling j he flaps * his silly winge and crows, and points with pride a while, and throws some fits around your dwelling. And every time I hear him whoop and prance around the chicken-coop, a-feeling hunkydory, I think of husbands I have known, who think that they, and they alone, deserve the praise and glory. They would ignore the patient wives who organized their misfit lives, when they wore badly sagging, who bore the burden of the day and helped to cut the swath of 'hay of which the liulbs are bragging. There's many a feliaw 'known to fame, who would have failed to win the game but for some -little woman, who staying huimbly in the dark, still made her old man toe the mark, with patience superhuman; And, having climbed from out the ruts, how haughtily that , old man struts, how proudly tells his | 6tory! The wife beholds that eroding gent, and softly smiles, for she's content with a reflected glory.
