THE OLD TINE HEN.

We have read of Maud on sum
mer day.
Who raked a meadow of new mown
hay
Barefooted this mad In the early
dawn.
MIXED the COW with the crumpled
horn;
We have read of the songs that
poets sing
o. ripping brooks and flowers OF
spring,
But of all the songs of tongue or
zen,
There's nothing like the cackle OF
an old.time hen.
Long years before Maud raked the
hay,
The old time hen began to lay
Before the milkmaid stirred a peg,
The hen Is up and dropped her
egg
The corn must rustic the flowers
spring,
If they hold their own with the
barnyard ring.
If Maud Is needing a hat or gown,
She doesn't take her hay to town
But goes to the store and buys a
suit,
With a basket full of fresh len
fruit
Aud when Maui beau makes a
Sunday call
She don't feed him on milk at al
B lat works up eggs in custard pie
And stuffs him full OF chicken fry
And should Maud's papa want a
horn,
Does he take to town a sack OF
corn?
Not much He simply robs a nest
And goes % town-you know the
rest
He hangs around with clIques and
ring,
Ard talks of politics and sings,
While Maud at home she frets and
scowls
And Is saved from want by the
barnyard fows,
For while papa fingers there,
She watches the cackling hens
with care;
It'll she gathers the eggs, which
she'll hide,
T II she saves enough to stem the
tide;
Maud married a man who once
was poor
Now many chickens fly round
their door
Corn may be king, but it's seen.
That tire old-time hen is the family
queen.

OF NOBLE LINEAGE.
Mrs. Georgia Stanley the Grand
 daughter of Lord Kercastle,


 Denver, Col, March 5.-Mrs. Georgia Stanley. who was found in an unconscious condition in the same room in which lay the dead body of Major Marshall Hurd yesterday. proves to be a woman of aris- tocratc lineage. She is a granddaughter of Lord kercastle of Inverness, Scotland Her mother was Lady Allen and her fla ther Governor of an English province in India. Lady Allen, by second marriage, became the mother of Sir James Grant. of Toronto. one of the most eminent physicians of the Dominion of Canada, who was knighted by Queen Victoria.
 Mrs. Stanley. it is said, was thrice married. Her first husband and their four children died of the black diptheria in Quebec. Several years later she married a resident of Washington, D. C., who was in the government service. A year or so later he shot and killed himself in a hotel In Syracuse, N. '. She then mar ried Herbert Stanley. who was a govern ment clerk. Her relatives disapproved of the union and the Stanieys came to Den yer to live.
 About a year ago MT. Stanley died of paralysis and left his widow practically penniless and helpless on account of i'll health. Major Hurd. who at that time was an inmate of the old soldiers home at Monte Vista. Col. came to Denver and undertook to care for Mrs. Stanley. whose late husband was his friend. The small pension he received from the gov ernment was not sufficient to provide for the needs of the couple and assistance was rendered them by charitable persons. It was on the occasion of one of these visits yesterday that the tragedy at the Hurd house was discovered. The physi- elan attending Mrs. Stanley believe that her condition and Major Hurd's death were due to breathing the fumes of coal gas which escaped into the room by acci- dent, and the suicide theory is discredited. Mrs. Stanley. they say. has a chance of recovering consciousness. at least.
