THE BLUE Ill EN y tiilNhr'NS'
For whole week past the entire
barn-yard had been in a llutter. There
were Hopping of wings and a growing
and Strengthening out Of feathers, ac-
companied by not little fuss.
You must know that among all the
fine fowls in this fine Tyler barn-yard
there are none, no not one, possessing
finer qualities than does the blue hen.
Oh, she Is of the bluest blood, and can
hold her heat up with the best yellow
legged hen Of smith county. What
wonder, then, when 1t was noised
abroad that the blue hens chickens
intended giving a limp-no, a chop"
the invitations called 1t, what wonder
that all the barn-yard was in a stir?
Were not all the blue hens high.born
chicks, (the old lady roasted high
were they not all boy chickens? Ger
tainly, and having formed themselves
into IA society more terrible than
Young Democratic club, and definitely
decided to give semi-occasional "hopsn
Mt Albertson's coop, why nothing
could stir more deeply the hearts Of the
barn-yard ducklings and goslings and
sweet feminine chicks who would pos
sibly be called upon to hop awhile
amid the family Of the old blue hen.
Vast preparations were made. st.
Louis was laid under contribution for
the elegant invitations. and happy
was the fowl, male or female, which
was honored with one Of these open
sesames. And you may be sure that
not every gosling was permitted to
scratch his way into this goodly COM
pany. Only by card could the
charmed circle be entered.
True, some of the shanghai fellows,
great clumsy ROSTERS that they were,
Nigh. stretch their necks and gaze at
what "a fine company the blue hens
chickens could gather; and some
bantams found it possible to dodge
about and remark upon the grace of
the charming Miss Duckling," but
was not at liberty to make his pres
ence known, not even by his own mis-
cradle asthmatic crow. After much
cackle and scratching around, and
pluming and combing aud cutting of
pigeon-wings, the eventual time came
last night. The old gobblers of the
barnyard had hied them to their rCosts,
and the old patriarchs, those tough
old roosters and their ancient DANES,
they too had sought their roof-tree,
