Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, July 25.-A month ago
six little pups, ,of the pug species,
owned by Sam Ransom, of Red Rock
found themselves motherless. They
whined piteously and were in great dis
tress. One OF the little fellows set out
upon a tour of discovery and in the
vicinity of the canine abiding place,
discovered a hens nest. An old hen,
which was in a setting mood, clucked
her good WILL and he tipped off the
situation to his brothers.
Then they all went in body and
quartered themselves in the nest. The
hen is equal to the emergency and
she carefully shelters them from the
damp nights. In the day time she goes
about followed by her adopted brood.
They enjoy themselves with her. and a
happier family could not easily be
found. The hen is very affectionate
and considerate toward the fine found
lings, and they, in turn, are warmly
devoted to the unprejudiced and ben
evolent old hen.

planted all his beans;
And he says he feels discouraged. and he
surely looks forlorn.
AS he takes boat and rows out to look
at his crop of corn.
And at night he says his prayers and
calls his family all about,
And with trembling hands distributes all
the life preservers out;
Then he swims out to the barnyard and
drives all the. stock in sight
To the top floor of the horse-barn, for
their safety through the night.
