The Grateful Hen.

"Of course" said the man who
spends four hours a day on the inter
urban cars going from bed to work
and from work TO bed, you fellows
don't know anything about chickens,
don't give them credit for having any
brains, but it's a mighty dumb chick
en- that hasn't got as much sense az a
dog. ISk" al old I'm, fO. instance,
one of those family hens that is allow
ed the freedom of the ~nouse--taSes
her bath in the flour bin, instead of
the dusty road, roosts on the piano
and lays her eggs on the bed In the
spare ROOM instead of in the hay
NOW. Now, she may not be able TO
do any tricks-stand on her hind legs,
growl for a bone or chase the cows
out of the corn-but when it comes to
reasoning, downright thinking, why
she's a bird.
we had n of those family hens,
called her Alice. She had served us
faithfully for several years, laying just
so many eggs the year round, without
regard to season, or the trust prices,
and showing no i'll feeling when she
saw us lead her children to the chop
ping block. Well. one time when Alice
was Matching out her spring brood.
my wife's sympathy got the better of
her-the better Of my wife, of course,
not OF the hen-and thought we ought
to do something to tighten Alice's bur
dens, so after much discussion we
bought a little parlor incubator. put
it in the corner of the kitchen, and
transferred Alice's eggs to it.
Poo Alice was heart broken. She
camped in the kitchen, spending most
of her time on the sink, where she
could get a good view of the eggs.
Day after day, with hanging head and
the saddest eyes | ever saw in any
thing but a human being, old Alice sat
there watching the eggs. She watched
every proceeding with all the interest
of an amateur poultry man. When |
poured oil into the incubator lamp
she stood there watching me, with her
head cooked to one side like an in
uranc adjuster on his first visit to
the scene of a fire.

she saw the little chicks pop through.
say, If there was ever a surprised
hen it was old Alice. My, how she
CLICKED and took on. But that hen
wasn't worth one cent after that. It
ruined her, completely ruined her"
"How's that?" asked the mar who
didn't know anything about chickens.
We'll, you know we people in the
country get u oil from tank wagons
that call at the door every two or
three days. And the old hen followed
that oil wagon around until she got
varicOse veins in her legs, and the oil
man killed her out of mercy"

after waiting some months more Miss
ChrOckeron again appealed to the
court, and Judge Lindsey ordered an
attachment to issue and O'Bryan to
be brought into court. He was brought
in, as handsomely attired as ever, and
to prove the assertion that ne had no
money, emptied his pockets of sixty
five cents which they contained. Judge
Lindsey told him he might sell some
of his extensive wardrobe and ordered
him to pay the money Immediately.
Several times after that Mr.. O'Bryan
was called into court, but he always
managed to escape somehow.
Finally, during the races last sum-
mer, he came into the office of Miss
Chrockeron's attorney, Ernest Morris,
and paid him S25. 81 nearly died"
said Mr.. Morris, "a the shock, and
he evidently decided not to risk it
again, as that is the last we saw of
him. We have been looking for him
some time and would be delighted to
meet him face to face once more"
The family home, which vas heav-
lily incumbered, was turned over to the
wife, and the mortgage paid by the
mother of O'Bryan. All her sympathy
is for the wife, and shortly after the
separation she took Mrs. O'Bryan to
Europe with her. The children,
Irene and DeRoss, were also taken to
Paris, where they will be educated
in Catholic institutions at the grand
mothers expense. During their res
idence together in this city, the
O'Bryan's were much in society, Mrs.
O'Bryan being a familiar figure at the
Country club. She was quite an en-
thusiast at golf, and always appeared
at the horse shows. Locally, the
sentiment is all in her favor, as the
many friends of the husband were
alienated by his notorious affairs and
his treatment of his wife.

Harry O'Bryan met the beautiful
Mamie Otero, sister of Governor Otero
of New Mexico, many years ago, and
about 1889 he won her, a y the Den
yer News, of October IL. The we'd
ding was one of the most brilliant So
cial events ever pulled OF in the ter
ritory. Two children were born of
the union.
An estrangement sprang up between
the couple, and that they were un-
happy, soon became generally known.
Weird stories were circulated about
the husband, and received, it is said,
with little surprise or concern by the
wife.
Finally they parted.
The wife recently came from Paris,
and is with j. Gatten O'Bryan and
family.
O'Bryan became mixed up in sew
eral unpleasant actions at law. He
wriggled out of them, somehow.
But there is one of which his skirts
are not clear, by any means.
Sheriff Nisbet has been a~nxiously
looking for O'Bryan for a month, on
an attachment issued some time ago
by Judge Charles Mccall of the county
court. A little more than a year ago
Sophia Chrockeron, who had been re-
tanned by O'Bryan as stenographer, at
a salary of $50 per month, brought suit
in the county court, claiming that she
had worked from September l, 1902,
until February 1, 1903, and had never
been given a penny by her employer.
She asked for $3.50, and the jury
awarded her that amount, with $20.50
interest.
But the debonaire Mr.. O'Bryan
didn't allow any such small thing as
a judgment to annoy him. He had
been there before, n had lived
through them tr%iumphantly. Finally,

with an ambition to provide ade-
quate school facilities for the white
children of the south, DR.. Agnes v.
Kelley, of Meadville, Pa, who has
been teaching in the south, has begun
a movement to build school houses in
Louisian and Alabama. She can be
communicated with through the Arena
magazine of Boston. She writes ex-
pressly for this newspaper her rea-
sons for asking assistance in the
work.
BY Agnes Valentine Kelley, NJ. D.
As a nation we are justly proud of
our magnificent public school system.
Our standard is the highest in the
world. But has that standard been
reached in every state in the Union?
Many of the southern states, prln-
cipally the gulf states, are not able
to incur the double expense of build
ing and maintaining schools. A very
large proportion of the country school
buildings are rough wooden boxes,
with rude and insufficient furniture.
Good teachers cannot continue teach
ing in such places. am acquainted
with many localities where no school
building of any kind exists, and this,
too, where the school population is
large, | have known instances where
the chance city visitor has been
moved by the condition of the people
to gather around her the children
and sometimes older persOns-and in
struct them in the common branches
of lelning. In louisiana alone 5000
children are passing the educable
limit every year. Fifty-five per cent
of these children are not in school be-
cause We have not sufficient school
buildings I'm which to carry on our
work.
Responding TO my inquiry as to What
the states need in the way of school
buildings, GOV. Blanchard of Louis
lana wrote.
We are sadly i'm need of more and
better rural school houses. The state
is deficient i'm that way. You and
those associated with you could not
do a nobler work or one that is more
needed than In building plain country
school houses that Will afford the
youth Of the state a chance to obtain
a start in an education that will fit
them to fill the social as well as more
serious duties of citizenship"

ton of the filtration plant will be In oper-
alton next October. 1t is planned to have
the new District building ready for oc-
cupancy by the LIST of January 1907 but
the railway terminals and the elimination
OF the dangerous grade crossings will not
be completed until February, 1908 The
three bridges mentioned In the list will
be finished some time during 1907.
In addition to the improvements men,
Der of other large projects are proposed
Among the projects are a District hospital
to cost 100000, for which a site has
been acquired, and the instaIla ton of the
high pressure water service, at a cost Of
$50. 900. When these two proposed i'm
provements are authorized the District will
pay half the cost of each. Another large
proposed Improvement to be executed by
the federal government, without assistance
from the District is a new aqueduct to
Great Falls, to furnish additional water sup
ply to the city of Washington The pro-
posed new aqueduct will cost about 81 00O-
900, and will lead water direct to the Ultra
ton plant. 1t is learned that the present
aqueduct is now supplying the reservoirs
for the city up to its full capacity, and that
any material increase in Washington's pop
ulation will necessitate the construction Of
the proposed project.
The reclamation of the Anacostia flats
at estimated cost of 81 500 900 is an
other improvement proposed to be done by
the federal government. But aside from
the immense projects carried out by the
United States government in the District,
the municipality alone is engaged in large
public works that will compare most favor
ably with those executed In cities of much
larger size, and which have greater free
dom in planning and prosecuting.

Saturday, which the natives call the
Sabbath of Light" comes the celebration
of the holy fire. This symbolizes the de-
scent of the Holy Ghost in tongues of flame
by communicating the holy fire within the
tomb to the candles and tapers, of which
every visitor and pilgrim has an ample sup
ply. In an incredibly short time the fire
has been passed to the crowds in the
streets, and the whole multitude is blaze
of Pickering flame. Messengers are seen
starting to every country with the sacred
fire. How far they go 1t IS impossible to
say. but in Greece hundreds of fires are put
out and relighted with the holy flame when
its bearers appear with their carefully
guarded lanterns.
Services begin again at the church in the
evening, continuing until midnight in the
chapels of the various sects. At that hour
the different patriarchs announce to their
congregations that Christ Is risen" there
is a tremendous burst of song from thou
sands OF threats, on every side Is heard the
salutaton, Christ is risen" and the in
variable response, He is risen indeed" re-
peated in almost every language under the
sun. 1t is not until Sunday morning that
the crowds i'm the streets around the church
disperse in the dawn of another Easter day.

constituents and give them a dinner that
they can tell about for years afterward.
The kitchen will be In the garrett and a
serving room will be located conveniently.
A special stairway and elevator to accom-
modate every one and all the supplies con-
uected with the kitchen will be provided.
The windows OF this restaurant will look
out upon the Capitol grounds and the Con-
gressionary Library. 1t will be a choice
corner and will be exclusively for members
of the House and such of their friends as
they see fit to invite to partake of their
hospitality.
This fine restaurant is not supposed to
take the place Of the conveniently located
restaurant in the basement of the House
wing of the Capitol. There the members
will continue to go for quick lunch, but
when they have plenty of time it is likely
they Will walk over to the more elegant
quarters provided for them.
AT this time there are no definite plans
for tunnel leading from the Office building
to the Capitol That tunnel is however
provided for in a tentative way, and the
new building is so arranged that whenever
the tunnel is put in it can be connected
conveniently. When the tunnel is eventually
built it will be possible for members to go
10 their offices and to the new restaurant
without going out of doors. and In inclem-
ent weather it is expected that will be a
convenience that will be greatly appreci-
ated.

with JOY at its discovery, this orphan rooS-

discovered prerogative, and he began to
assert It.
