Maternal Instinct Exempllhed.
A fourteen-mile straw ride. was the
experience of 8, sitting hen, the property
of Mr.. Walter O.. Ensor, Of Strawberry
Hill farm, near Cockeysville. a fewdays
ago.
Mr.. Ensor had loaded the wagon with
baled straw about three weeks before.
and consigned 1t to J. Norris & Son at
Queenstown. Mr.. Ensor, without dis
covering in the meantime that the hen
had made preparations to hatch out a
brood Of chicks in the wagon, left home
at 2 o'clock in the morning and drove
to Queenstown. The road is rough. and
the wagon, having no springs, swayed
from side to side as the wagon passed
over slanting places and gullies. The
hen bore all with silent patience, and
her prcsences was not discovered until
Mr.. Ensor was about to unload. Mr..
Norris bought the hen and eggs and
placed them in a more secure nest. h
soon settled down to business. and the
outcome will be watched with interest.

 It cannot be too emphatieally stated that the administration will avoid glv- ing the captured leader any basis for posing as martyr. The matter of transporting him to Guam will receive serious consideration. One senator who called at the White house to-day sug- gested to the president the advisability Of transporting Aguinaldo to some place like Tuituala in the Samoan group, where, it was pointed out. he could be kept at q distance from the scene of his old operatio and where ne would be in a climate of which he could make no complaint. The trend of views as expressed by the cabinet indi- cated that ultimate transportation to some place Of confinement outside of the Philippines was the course most likely to be adopted.

 'One more anecdote, and I'm done" said the story-teller in conclusion: Shortly after my arrival at the post we were joined by an officer from Washington, who was detailed to the duties of adjutant, and turned out to be very much of a cad. A month or so later the colonel received an unsigned note from some blackguard, saying that the officers were drinking too much at the club on the grounds, and this adju- tant was fool enough to hint, that the writing resembled that of our friend, the captain. When that gentleman heard of the remark, he wrote demand7 ing an immediate apology, and added that he would allow no man to intimate that he was capable of penning a 'sy- nonomous letter The adjutant read the communication and threw it on his table These stupid bulls of his bore me he said, petulantly.
