While for several blocks she wobbled on

Till a pile Of stones loomed nearer.
Stacked up beside the street.
And helplessly she rode for them
With automatic feet.

A Hen Brooding Kittens.

There is a curious case of animal at
tachment in Mayville. Wis. About two
months ago a cat gave birth to two
kittens in a nest adjoining the hen
house. Before the little ones were old
enough to open their eyes, a hen, OBJ
serving them III their bed, went and sat
upon them, covering them as she would
little chickens. This she still continues
to do, and will fight with a vengeance
any person who attempts to take them
from her. As they peep out from un-
der her wings, she pushes them back,
and talks to them the hen language.
She leaves them only an hour or two
every day in order to get food. The
mother cat nurses the kittens and does
not object in the least to the authority
usurped by the hen. and strong at
tachment has been formed between the
kittens and the hen.-Milwaukee SEN
