DYING HEN GIVES
AWAY HER CHICKS
BARNYARD FOWL WILLS BROOD
TO PLYMOUTH ROCK
WOUNDED BY A BOY
Queer Incident Suggests to Spectators
Possibility That Domestic Birds
May Be Able to Converse
With Each Other

Has Los Angeles hen taken 1t upon
herself to make known to the world
OF large that chickens, like human be-
ings, have a language of their own
with different sounds and expressions
Indicative of certain ideas to be COM
municated?
D. E. McKillip Of 3601 Mission road
of Los Angeles has brought forward
the story of an episode in his barnyard
which is said to prove beyond a doubt
that chickens can talk among them
selves.
The story is based upon an every
day occurrence of the barnyard and
its details show that chickens not only
express to one another their wants and
ideas, but that they respect the dying
wishes of their kind with faithfulness
often foreign to human nature.
The tale runs as follows: Mr.. Nc
Killip owned, among large number
of fine hens, a certain plump fowl that
recently left her nest with four small
fluffy chicks. Day after day the mother
cared for her little ones until they
were just beginning to recognize food
when they saw it.
But yesterday came the blow which
sent the mother into chicken para
disc and made orphans of those four
little balls of down. While the mother
hen, accompanied by her brood, was
slowly digging for particularly juicy
specimen of worm, a brickbat thrown
by some representative of the Juvenile
portion of the neighborhood came
hurtling over the fence and struck the
hen in the side, knocking her to the
ground.
Hen Called Her Friend
In a second the four little ones
crowded about her. attempting to
climb on her back, but with the des-
peration of the dying the mother hen
regained her feet and. staggering
toward the center of the yard, sent
forth a call for aid. There was but
one response. Back in a corner of the
yard hen of the Plymouth Rock va
riety was grubbing for worms. In the
days of her girlhood the wounded
mother had chummed with this Plym-
outh Rock and in her agony of death
she called for her old friend.
Within view of the McKillip family
the two hens stood there in the yard
and cackled to each other. Hoarsely
the last wishes of that dying hen were
told while her lifelong friend stood
by and listened. And then the wound
ed hen died and the Plymouth Rock
hen walked over to those little chicks,
talked to them in the soft chirps of
It mother fowl and cuddled them under
her wing.
Mr.. McKillip was not slow to recog-
nlze this extraordinary display OF sis
terly affection between the two hens
and the devotion Of the Plymouth hen
In renouncing the joys and recreations
of the barnyard to fulfill a sacred trust
left by her dying friend touched Nc
Killip's heart to such an extent that,
whereas the Plymouth hen was to have
graced kettle, 1t will now be allowed
to raise the chicks and to live to a ripe
old age In the McKillip barnyard.

MAMIE H. RAN A
CREDITABLE RACE
Twice Winner of Wilmington
Steeplechase Was Second
at Pimlico
SHE WAS TOO HEAVILY WEIGHTED

Mamie H.. the winner of the will
m.ington Steeplechase at the Lima
HUNT Club race meetings i'm this city
i'm October 1903 and October 1904, and
which is owned 10y William II. Kerr.
Of Trainer, Pa, ran second in the
Easter Monday Steeplechase Handicap
at Pimlico, Baltimore, yesterday. She
carried las pounds, an excessive impost
and was ridden by Savage. who had
the mount at the meetings here.
There were six starters in yesterdays
race. the favortte being the Bonnie
Brook stables entry, Champ Elysees
and Gold Van, which We're quoted at
to .. The Baltimore -goers did
not have a line ON Mr.. Kerr's mare
and her price went as high as z to 1
to win, TO / for place and to to
shaw. The Bonnie Brook stable elected
TO win with Champs Elysees but Mamie
H. spoiled this calculation and when she
had beaten out this horse, Gold Van.
(which carried but 1SS 1-2 pounds, came
on and won.
Mr. Kerr was congratulated by many
persons on the good showing made by
his mare. Before the race he stated,
in the paddock. that he was afraid his
entry was outclassed. "Mamie II. is
too heavily Weighted" said he, ''in this
company. 1 fear she viii not be in the
money"
"But how about the good showing she
made in Wilmington at the Lima Hunt
Club meets?" the owner was asked.
"She is meeting better horses here, -
was the answer.
Several of Mr.. Kerr's friends did not
agree with his prediction that his mare
would not be in the money and they
backed her across the board. As a
result they won.
Gold Van, although one of the best
steeplechasers in training, carried mine
and one-hah pounds less weight than
Mamie H.; queer handicapping Mr.
Keru's friends thought. The latter mare
was the prettiest jumper of the lot and
before the race was half over she was
the object of favorable comment by the
spectators. When properly weighted

known, win hold her own in any COM
pany. Several Wilmington people SAM

EQUITABLE SOCIETY
Policy Holder of Maryland
Begins Action Against
the Concern
(cOntlnued from FIRST Page.)

New York, April 5.-Receivership
proceedings were instituted against
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
by j. Wilcox Brown, of Maryland, a
policyholder. In the United States cir
cult court here he filed an action
against the society, asking for the ap-
pointment of a receiver of the surplus
fund, an accounting for the benefit of
himself and other policyholders that
may join with him in the proceedings
and an injunction to prevent the so
ciety holding the surplus. Brown al
leges that the societys officials have
disregarded their trust and have not
paid his proportion Of the net surplus.
Battle & Marshall. the attorneys
for Mr. Brown, issued the following
statement:
This is an ordinary policyholder's
suit. The plaintiff, Colonel J. Wilcox
Brown, a citizen of Maryland con-

considerable, but, although the bust.
ness Of the society enormously in

reduction in premiums. On application
to the society he had been told the
usual story that all of this was due to
a lowering of profits on investments.
caused by the fact that rates Of inter
est in later days was much lower than
in 1857.
"The affairs of the society are in
considerable confusion, and the vast
fund collected together by the methods
which the society has employed is now
claimed as the property Of the society
and its stockholders. The old charter
Of the society, providing that the COM
pany shall be a mutual company and
that all Of the profits shall be appor-
