The Hayes Hennery.
HOW A POWERFUL MIND MAY CIRCUM-
VENT A NEST HIDER.

The fact of Mrs. Hayes going into
the hen trade is no reflection upon her
husband, and he is great help to her,
as he was when she was president.
Those who have visited Fremont say
they do not know what the lady would
do without Mr.. Hayes. He knows all
the hens by name, and can tell at
glance which are the best providers OF
eggs. There is, perhaps, no man in
the country who is more successful
hunter of hens eggs than Mr.. Hayes.
A hen cannot deceive him. He seems
to know instinctively when hen has
put up a job to go off somewhere to a
retired spot and "steal her nest, as the
saying is, and he watches the hen. He
does not follow the hen directly as
some less brainy man would do, and
thus arouse the suspicious of the decep-
tive fowl, but seems to go off the other
way, though his eye is upon that hen.
1t is said to be an interesting sight to
see hen wandering off down among
the gooseberry bushes, clucking and
digging for worms as though she had
no thought of deceiving her bcnefact-
or, and Mr., Hayes walking the other
way whistling: "Well never miss the
water till the well runs dry" and not
appearing to notice the hen. Suddenly
the hen disappears and goes under a
bush and lays an egg 1t is then that
Mr.. Hayes gives play to the mass.
i've brain that he has constantly con-
cealed about his person. He makes no
memorandum, but keeps in his head
the location of every such nest. Some
men would go right to the hen, catch
her in the act and accuse her to her
face of duplicity and double dealing,
but Mr. Ha, es is not that kind of a
man. When the hen comes back to
the hen house he does not show any
signs of chagrin to the hen. Does not
look at her as much as to say, 81 am
onto your scheme, old lady," but treats
her Just the same as any other hen, thus
disarming her of all suspicion that hel
hellish plot is discovered. But the
next day, after the miserable hen ha;
laid her second egg and gone away, the
expresident goes TO the nest and takes
one OF the eggs, and so on each day
the hen, who is not good at mathemat
les, thinking she is laying up treasur
es where neither moth, nor rust, no
ex-presidents doth corrupt. After |
hen has laid dozen CT so eggs thus
and begins to think of setting, sh'
looks at the result of her labors, anc
decides that it ia the work of an incen
diary and gives up the job. The ex
president is said to be one of the mos
expert hen detectives in this country
and Mrs HAYES would MT bs wilhou
him for the world. Peck's Sun.
