den was being scratched up by the hens,
to help her devisa some plan to prevent
further damage. After q consideration
OF the ways and means, Mrs. Emerson
hit upon the expedient OF putting linen
gloves upon the leet Of the gsllinaceous
vandals. Thoreau, who had keen sense
OF humor, restrained the laughter which
was nearly choking him, and grayely
under Mrs. Emerson's direction, bau
daged the claws OF the assembled barn
ysrd in stout linen cloth For an hour
or 50 the fowls did no harm, and the
Emerson household were greatly pleased
