Her Great Scheme

Father- No w, sfse h ere! If you marry that young pauper, how on earth are you going to live? Sweet Girl - We have flgured that all out. You remember that old hen my aunt gave me? "Yes." "Well, I've been reading a poultry circular, and I flnd that a good hen will raise twenty chicks in a season. Well, next season there will be twentyone hens, and as each will raise twenty more, that will be 420. The next year the number will be 8,400, the following year 168,000, and the next 3,360,000. Just think! At only twenty-five cents apiece we will have over $590,000. Then, dear old papa, we will lend you some' money to pay off the mortgage on this house." - Boston Traveler.
