YOUNG And FRISKY HENS
CAUSE LIVELY CHASE

When train No 90. of the Delaware
road, reached this city this morning
two full-hedged but young Plymouth
Rock hens created considerable
amusement for persons around the
French street passenger station, and
convinced eXpressmen. baggage men
and porters that a down-cOuntry
chicken could run well in the city.
The chickens We're brought to Will
mington in a small box in the baggage
car. and as they were being unloaded
the lid of the box came off and the
two enterprising hers flew de coop.
There was a cyclonic rush of express
men, porters and baggage men, in
which several ushers took part. Lay
ton Mills and Carman Scanlan caught
hen No. 1, but hen No. was captured
with less ease.
On finding itself free the chicken
took refuge under a draft of passenger
coaches, and quietly sized up the stu
alton.
Levin Spencer. one Of the head por-
ters around the station, was first to
discover the chickens hiding place
He determined to catch the chicken
and placing Alfred Gumby on guard
Levin made a blun of crawling under
the car. 1t was perfect ruse. ant
the chicken, taking fright at the
bulky form of the porter, made a dive
for freedom, but "Al" Gumby's deter
mined face interposed itself upon th'
frighten hens vision and several per
! sons began shouting at the same time
The sprinting hen saw its danger an,
beat 10 the windward. The shouting
of the spectators angered Gumby, wh'
retired from the chase with the re
mark that dem people WIS too duml
to ketch a chicken"
The Plymouth Rock next ran alonl
the station platform with Howard
Black. a colOred porter. and severa
other persons in chase. The waiting
room door was opened and the fright
ened hen dashed into the depot wher

COMMENDED that, instead of dimming the
luster or his name, the proper perspec-

CT insight into the genius of Jefferson
ana had enabled them to fully measure
his enduring fame.
No man, he said, could read the his
tory OF the writer Of the Declaration of
independence without being Thoroughly
impressed with the fact that he was in
deed the foremost apostle of human ill.,
erty The conditions existing when he
came into public life were of a most ex-
traordinary nature, when made the sub-
1ect OF contemplation seventy-five years
after his death. The territory which con-
stituted the thirteen original states was
then divided into British colonies. In all
the world no such thing had been known
as republican form of government, only
monarchies existed in their various forms.
The proposition of the divine right of
kings to govern and Cypress as they saw
fit was then uppermost. With absolutely
no condition precedent, IN a new country
where nature as well as the tyranny of
| kings was yet to be conquered, the idea
of free government had emanated from
| the hearts and brains of men who. like
Jefferson, had grown up under the sys-
| tenn of oppression against which they
rebelled. The principle of self-govern-
ment was entirely creation of their
own. Jefferson and his associates had
been the pioneers in the thought that all
men are born equal in so far as they are
entitled to the full exercise of each DO
litical prerequisite to which they are en-

to the place. The fair people couldn' I

Mr.. Faglsy was importHned to accept It.
