CURING A SETTING HEN.
by Tying n Piece of Red Flannel to
Her Tail 1t Was Efectually
Accomplished.

In the vicinity of Bellevue q man Cet
him be known as jones' owns a large
and prosperous chicken yard. Motto
ing that many of his hens wanted to
''set" he was at his wits ends to find
some scheme that would sidetrack their
progenitive aspirations. Mrs. Jones,
who, probably, had CLEANED the idea
from an almanac, suggested to her hus-
band that he tie a piece of red flannel to
the tails of the hens that wanted to
set"
Mr.. Jones several days ago proceeded
to test the efficacy of the red flannel and
before many minutes had elapsed there
was an uproar. At first the hen on
which the experiment was tried seemed
dazed. Then she made a bee line for a
fence corner and as she went the red
flannel tapped in the air and scared all
the rest of the fowls, which set up
a terrific cackling and flew off in every
direction.
The decorated fowl made an effort to
stand on its head, then on its tail, then
it would hop-skip-and-jump for several
Yards at a time, until the little Joneses
who were witnessing the test from the
top of a dry goods box, laughed so heart.
lily that they fell off and rolled over
each other. The hen was now thorough.
ly aroused, and, seeing ar opening in
the fence, made a dash for it. and when
last seen she was a mile below Bellevue,
going as fast as she could travel, and
cackling at every jump. The Jonesei
have concluded thatit is more profitable
to let theis liens "set" than to lose them
by making experiments.-

RECOMMENDS AN INVESTIGATION.
Not as Bad as the Cherokees but ChOc-
taw Warrants Need Inspection.

Special Agent zeyely Of the IN

Investigation of the warrants Is
sued by the various tribes, and
the friction which has arisen in
the Choctaw Nation over the ex-
portaiion Of hay from the nation
without the payments Of the tax
imposed by the tribe. Mr.. Zevely
reports an extremely bad condi-
tiun in connection with the tribal
warrants, particularly those issued
by the Cherokees. The last ses-
sion of Congress appropriated $751;
600 for the payment OF outstanding
Cherokee warrants. According to
the law those are liquidated ac-
cording to date of priority. Mr..
Zevely reports that when he
visited the Office at Tahlequah he
found several thousand dollars
worth Of warrants which had been
redeemed laying loose upon the
floor which had not been cancelled.
Some of them had written on an
obscure corner in small hand the
word "Paid," but the large major
ity OF them had no mark whatever
indicating their collection Mr..
Zevely believes that many Of the
warrants which have been paid
off are again in the hands OF the
outside parties. and has recom-
mended the suspension Of further
payments, either by the Depart
ment or by Congress until full
and complete investigation can be
made.
