The Missouri Hen.

We have heard Of Maud on Il sum

new mown hay: We have heard of the
maid in the early morn who MIXED
the COW with the crumpled horn: and
We have heard the lay poets sing of
the rUstliug corn and tn lowers ot
spring: but Of all the lays of tongue
or pen, there is raught ike the lay of
the Missouri hen. Long, long before
Maud rakcs the hay, the Missouri hen
has begun 10 lay. and ere the milk
maid stirs a peg the hen is up and has
dropped an egg: the corn must rustic
and flowers spring if they hold their
own with the barnyard ring. If Maud
is needing hat or gown. she docsn /
hustle hci. boy to town: she goes to the
store and obtains her suit with d
basket Of fresh hen fruit: If t;i- -
maids beau makes a Sunday call. she
doesn't feed him on milk at all. but
works up eggs in Il custard pie. and
stuEs him full of chicken fry: ard
when The old man wants horn docs
he take the druggist load of corn:
Not much. He simply robs a nest aad

He fingers there and talks pcrcharce
OF true reform and correct finance.
while his poor wife stays at home and
scowls. but Is saved from want by
these ~clf-samc fowls: for while nor
husband fingers there she watches the
the cacliing hen with care. and gathers
the eggs and the eggs she'll hide till
she saves enough to stem the tide.
Then hail: all hail to the Missouri
hen. the greatest blessing of all 10

plainly seen, the Missouri hen is the

Secretary Gage continues to get favor

callers at the Treasury Department

who had only the most cheering intel

resent IN increase in the volume OF
business in the cities Of the seton to
which he belongs. but lie gave assur-
ances of big cotton crops throughout

Furthermore. he told Secretary Gage

before September the results would he

Another feature becoming more
