ONE RESULT OF THE WAR. A delightful old lady of a little town in Nebraska Nebras-ka was discovered one morning in the act of killing kill-ing a chicken. "Why, Mrs. Brown, I thought that you were afraid to kill a chicken," said a neighbor in surprise. sur-prise. "Yes, dearie, I did useter be, but since the war broke out I've done it right smart." "I don't understand you; what does the war have to do with it?" "Well, you see, it's this way: -I useter think that bloodshed was an awful thing, but since I've been readin' about all them men-killin's in Europe I just get a rooster by the feet, lay his head on the block and say to myself, 'Now, Sarah, 'tain't near so bad as killin' a man. Where's your nerve?' And then I just shut my eyes and whack." Youth's Companion.
