INDUSTRIOUS HEN.

Orris Clark, farmer who lives on
the Hill road, has Plymouth Rock
hen which has Matched out a nest of
snakes eggs instead of brood of
chicks, says Chittenden, VT, dis.
patch to the New York World. The
most remarkable part of it is that the
hen found the eggs herself, and Mr.
CLARK knew nothing Of her family
affairs until she brought the brood to
the farm one day early in the week.
The hen was one of flock of forty
and was found one day sitting on a
dozen eggs in the loft of the barn
1t was late in the season to bring up
brood of chickens and the farmer
took the eggs He then forgot all
about the matter.
Not so, Mrs. Hen. This was the
second nest of eggs she had lost dur.
ing the season and she felt very bad
about it. The first lot had fallen
into the clutches of an INSCRIPTIONS
skunk, which sucked out what prom
ised to be fine flock of chickens and
LETT the shells. When Nine. Hen OBJ
jected, the skunk fastened his sharp
teeth on her until she was CAD to
desert and Confide her troubles to the
rooster chief. He apparently took
little interest in her domestic affairs,
so she wandered discongolately into
nearby swamp.
1t was here that she discovered
grassy nest in hole. In the nest
were seven liver-colored oblong eggs
They were soft-shell, but otherwise
resembled some she had seen laid by a
disagreeable bantam which only the
day before had been forwarded to
Boston TO pose as spring chicken at
"a 30 cent table d 'hote restaurant. The
bantam had certainly been most dis
agreeable and greedy, but the chick
less Mrs Hen had a mothers heart
and she straightway encamped on the
eggs. There she remained for four.
teen dreary, breathlcss, dinnerless
and supperless days. The big chief
rooster cast his eye into the hole one
day, shook his feathers deprecatingly
and departed. No other member of
the hen family came near her. On
the fourteenth days the eggs began to
culver and Mrs. Hen poked them APP
provingly and cooked her head expect
ell,
prise.
Instead Of moist and downy chicks
there appeared seven pointed and
shiny heads, surmounted by pairs of
jet black eyes that regarded the ma
troniy fowl wonderingly. Then ont
wriggled seven slim, sleek reptiles,
about the size of angleworms and full
~ as appetiZing. The hen promptly
started for the barnyard, trying hard
to feel proud of her wriggling family
She no sooner hove in sight of the
fowls in the barn yard than there was
a commotion. The big chief rooster
crowed shrilly and was making for
the tail OF the nearest snake when
the hen pecked him in the eye. Then
she gathered the brood about her
horny yellow legs and stood on the
defensive.
The chief rooster was just getting
over his surprise and preparing for
flank movement, when Mr.. CLARK
appeared. He recognized the
youngsters as striped ladders, a harm
less variety plentiful about there,
and he put the whole outfit in big
soap box TO see what would happen.
Then he hunted for the snake nest,
which he found in the swamp.
At last accounts the family was
thriving.

CoNCILIAToRs DULY ELECTED
They Garry the Miners Latest Grievances
Up to the Board

President Mitchell then announced
that the three districts would next vote
separately on the selection of repre-
sentatives on the board of Cancellation.
While the delegates of onedistrict were
voting, he explained, those Of the 9th
er two districts would remain silent.
Nominating resolutions similarly word
ed, except as to nominee and locality.
were presented in turn and with rOus-
ing and unanimous ayes the three
district presidents were duly elected
as conciliators, and then indorsed by
the whole convention.
President Mitchell read a resolution
directing that all grievances submit
ted to the committee on resolutions
be turned over to the conciliators. The
resolution was adopted In answer to
an injury to one of the delegates Pres
ident Mitchell stated that no increase
had been forthcoming for May under
the provisions of the sliding scale be-
cause the average price, of coal had
not advanced to $3.50 although the
circular price was S4.60. He had seen
the figures, he said, and presumed they
were correct The average price had
only gone up to S4.52 The June price,
he thought, would reach $40 and the
miners would have a 2 per cent in
crease coming to them.
In commenting on a grievance pre-
sented by the engineers, President
Mitchell said: LAS far as / can learn
some of the engineers ought not to get
anything at ALL They were granted
a Sunday holiday by the commission,
yet they work the seven days as for,
merly, so as to get an extra days pay.
One Of the strongest cases we had be-
fore the commission was that of the
engineers working sever. days a week
the year round and d twenty -four hour
shift every two weeks. They are do
ing you and themselves a wrong by
not taking advantage of the day off,
The convention was brought to a
close with a speech by President Mitch
ell, in which he urged the miners not
to lose interest in their union.

Poor Of the City to Be Served From
Citys Own Store in the Future
With All Provisions.
SEWER ORDINANCES PRESENTED.
Council Given the Right to Assess Cost OF
Sewers to the City.-City Purchases
q Team and VIII Save Money.

For some time the city of Kenosha
has been turning toward municipal
ownership. She now owns her own
water works system and last night at
the regular meeting of the common
council step was taken for a new
kind of municipal ownership which
will sndoubtedly attract attention to
the city from all the cities in the state.
This is not the municipal ownership
of gas and electric plants or of rail
ways or telephones but the municipal
ownership Of butcher shops and gro
Gerry stores. For years the city has
been spending hundreds of dollars an
nually for the purchase of provisions
for the paupers receiving aid from the
city and on all these purchases some
profit. In the future this profit will
go into the Golfers of the city for fol-
lowing the recommendation of Alder
man Jacobs, the chairman Of the paup-
er committee, the council decided that
in the future the city will be its own
purchasing agent for all things needed
for the paupers. This will mean the
opening of a grocery store and a
butcher shop. Alderman Jacobs who
is also the acting poor master has offer
ed his services as storekeeper to the city
and in the future everything needed
will be purchased at wholesale and
kept by the poor master, It will be
given out to the paupers as needed but
they will be forced to call at the city's
store to carry the provisions home In
the past the life Of pauper has been
so easy in lyenosha that the methods
adopted blythe city have tended to in
crease rather than dirniuish pauper-
ism. The paupers have been give1
orders weekly and some OF them had
become too lazy to go to the poor mas
ter to get the orders for goods needed.
In the future they will not only be
forced to go for the orders but they
will be expected to act as their own de-
livery boy and carry the provisions
home. 1t Is thought that the adoption
Of this plan will save the city hundreds
of dollars annually. The plan will not
meet with any opposition from the
grocers as many of them will be pleas
ed to get rid of the business Of the city
poor.
Added to this the city will be able to
utilize much of the produce raised on
the poor farm and it is expected that in
a few months the city's store will be-
come quite mercantile institution.
In the same line the city empowered
the members OF the committee on FIRE
department to proceed to purchase a
team and wagon for the use of the
city. This team will be used for haul
ing the hook ard ladder truck and the
hose wagon and during its idle mo-
ments It will be turned over to the
street commissioners for use on the
streets. With this team the council
believes that It will be possible to keep
ut least the main streets of the city
seyupulously clean. The lid sweeper
will be taken out again and the team
will be kept busy. In order to secu 3

Morning Summary of Events

Harness horse racing has been given
new impetus in Kenosha and a mum.
Der Of the leading horsemen of the city
have secured the use of the half mile
track at the Uih1ein stock farm and
regular fortnight1y matinee meetings
will be held. Nearly every one of the
well known horsemen of the city are
interested in the venture and it is ex-
pected that it will arouse a new inter-
est in racing ia Kenosha. The Uih-
lein track is one Of the best in South
ern Wisconsin and it is kept in splendid
condition for the training of the horses
raised at the famous stock farm.
The first of the race meets was given
on Sunday morning and more than
hundred of the well known sportsmeu
of the city gathered about the starters
stand and assisted in the inauguration
of the series of races. The track was
fast and some of the Kenosha horses
entered made an exceedingly good
showing. The rivalry between the
horsemen was acute and some of the
races brought forth some strong argu-
ments of financial nature. The
races were run during the morning the
following being the summary of the
events:
First race-2;50 class, mixed

CHICAGOs HOTEL STRIKES

Chicago, June 1.-THE indications
are that the hotel and restaurant strike
will be settled by arbitration, and that
the strikers will return to work to-
morrow morning. Such strong pressure
from outside labor organizations was
brought to bear on the joint board Of
the striking unions that the board has
consented to proposition which
virtually ends the strike.
The strikers have held out all along
against submitting their grievances to
arbitration, but they now ask that ar
