FIDGETY FASHIONABLE HEN.
“Cluck, cluck, cackle, cackle." said
Miss Fidgety Fashionable Hen. “I
chatter or cackle or cluck or talk for
any one who wants to listen.’'
She walked nervously about, then
ran hurriedly and then stood still and
then sat down In funny, squatting
fashion ail her own.
“Of course." she continued. “Nick
Is a boy, hut what does that count for
In life? What ean a boy do? Noth
ing much. He' goes to school, gels
Into trouble, gets out of it. pluys, goes
to sleep, eats and still Is always hun
gry.
“This last Is the most sensible thing
about him. I am a good eater myself.
I am given the choicest of grain, the
best sorts of hen food, and 1 eat it.
As a reward for my good food I lay
good eggs, delicious eggs. But ah, I've
come to appreciate myself!”
Miss Fidgety Fashionable Hen
looked about to see If anyone hap
pened to be listening and then, as
she saw a worm in the ground, she
forgot what she had first started to
look for. So she continued her talk
without finding out if anyone were
listening to her or not.
"There was a time,” she continued,
“when I used to give Nick and Nancy
and their friends all the eggs they
wanted, and they used to sell my eggs
end those of some of my sisters and
cousins.
"Now It Is different. I do not care
to remember the time when I was a
little chiV;en and after my poor moth
er met such a sad ending though It
was an honorable ending to tie sure.
She did stand up for her rights and
would not get out of the road to please
anyone.
"But I don’t care to remember how
they fed me and looked after me and
even made a pet of me. In my friend
less days they were good to me. but
I won’t think of that now. If I do I
will be entirely too loyal and too un
selfish. No, now I will make them
think a lot of me. And that is ' *'5f
what I have been doing.
“I’ve been showing them ,ial *
wasn’t any cheap, good-for not,lln*
ready-to-please hen. I havp s n
them that I’m a fine arc ,lil1 a
bird or a fowl, or wha* 'rPr anyonp
chooses to call me.
■Tve been showing them that I m
Important and that , arp ****
and fine. I fidget ar «* more than
ever. I don't worl and I don t
Intend to. I care f"r «“» ™p bu' mv‘
seif and I lay '*** whpn if P,PUKe"
me to do so.
■ , “Ah. cluck, - luck ; I will lay one soon
now. and t”p° aSaln 1 may 'ay an‘
other Bv *■ “T «*ggs wprp 8pttlniA to°
manv an «"» cheap. They didn't
Znk en'>aKh «* me. Now they will
think ■*° ,Ilut'h more of me because I
don't lay the number I used to lay.
.■Well, Miss Gray Hen. what have
Lypu to say for youjself T"
"I just saw Mr. Keel Crown Rooster
picking up 2 worm. He's a generous
fellow and Is always sharing what he
finds with others."
"Cluck, cluck, cackle, cackle,” said
Miss Fidgety Hen, “you have that old
fashioned idea that generosity is a
virtue."
"Why, yes: don't you agree?" asked
Miss Gray Hen.
"Gracious, no," said Miss Fidgety
Hpn, “it's too foolish. It doesn't get
you anywhere. People think more of
you when you're selfisli and Impor
tant and rare. And even if some peo
ple wouldn’t agree, what does that
matter? Every one for himself or
herself, I say, whether she be a hen
or a girl nr a dog or a cat."
“You'll live to be a friendless old
lien," said Miss Gray Hen.
“Cackle, cackle, what do I care for
friends?” said Miss Fidgety Fashion
able Hen. "I have more than friends.
I have the respect of the whole world.
At last hens have come Into their
own. good, sensible hens like myself
who follow the fashion and who make
eggs rare and expensive.
"I’m helping build up the noble pro
fession of the laying of the breakfast
eggs, and I'm the sort of hen who
commands great respect by her pride."

GOVERNOR IS URGED
CONVENE LEGISLATURE
Governor McKelvIe was urged by a
committee of the Omaha bar to im
mediately convene the legislature in
special session to enact a bill which
would authorise the Douglas county
commissioners to issue bonds, with
out waiting a vote of the people, to
repair the damage done at the court
_house by Sunday night’s mob. While
there are provisions in the law now
giving authority to the commissioners
to call a special election to vote bonds
to repair the damage done to the court
house building, it was pointed out that
this meant a delay of several months,
and there were no provisions under
the existing law to issue bonds to
• meet the expense of restoring the
. valuable records lost in the Are. This
, latter work will cost between $150,000
, and $250,000, it is estimated.
