Show Rooster Ate 486 Kernels. A storekeeper at Montgomery City has sprung a new one in the guessing game. He took a big rooster and, after af-ter letting him fast for a day, put him in his show window with a large pan of corn, the kernels of which had been counted. He offered a prize to the persons guessing nearest the number of grains the rooster would eat in 20 minutes. The rooster had a ravenous appetite and for five minutes It looked as If there would not be a single kernel left. But by the time the 20 minutes had elapsed lie had curled up in a corner. He had succeeded in putting away 48G grains. A woman whose guess was 48S got the prize. Kansas City Times. |
