A Hartford Hen Story.

The Belair Aegis fathers the follow
ing hen story:
"Mr. Harry Aaronson, Of Aberdeen,
Hartford county, has hen that has
undergone remarkably long period
Of starvation and survives. The hen
was accidentally shut up in box in
which coal had been kept for the
lookup late in March by Mr.. Aaron
son. The key hung in his home until
recently, when it was turned over to
his successor, w. Frank Hughes, the
present town bailif, who unlocked
the box one day last week. The hen
was found in one corner and was in a
very weak state. She did not weigh
a pound when taken out and at first
seemed totally blind. In a little
while, however, instinct prevailed and
she began to pick grass. She has
now recovered her accustomed size
and appearance and is living with the
other fowls in a good state Of health.
How she could have existed all this
time without food or water is almost
past comprehension, although the
suppositiOn is that there was rest
Of eggs III the box and she had SUBJ
sisted upon them

Caps The Climax.

The enterprising burglar and high
wavmsn, in order to keep entirely up
TO date and be in the swim with high
society, has now taken to making his
raids in large aud well.appointed au-
tomobiles. A few days ago three of
these gentry, attired in evening
clothes, crush hats and patent leath-
ers. raided a suburb Of Pittsburg'
blew a small cafe, raided store, and
then, to finish upa good nights work,
invaded a camp of about dozen rail-
road laborers, foreigners, stood them
no in a row in true western style, and
while one covered the shaking and
quivering line with two revolvers, a
second went through their clothes in
a leisulely manner, obtaining about
twenty-five dollars for his trouble.
Tie gang then boarded their machine
and gleefully sailed out of sight, hav'
ing cleaned up" about four hundred
and fifty dollars as a result Of their
exploit. They all wore black masks
and were evidently old hands at the
business. They carried their tools in
the cloth hampers of the auto, and
were in all respects prepared to meet
any emergency short Of a posse Of
officers. Here we have a new terror
added to life in the country districts
or small isolated communities The
plain, ordinary automobiles are bad
enough in all conscience, even when
filled with nothing more formidable
than half,intoxlcated registers, but as
means Of afordlng speedy and prac'
ticalIy noiseless transportation for
bank burglars and highwaymen 1t
well passes the limit.

down home the colored people all be-
lieve that doctors roam about after
dark trying to catch people to cut up.
You can scare pickaninny by say
ing: Night doctor, when nothing
else will bother him a bit. Well, at
last nanny consented to go with a
daughter of hers to one Of those pain
lees dentists.

You better be glad you amt a got
Doc Jones a workin' on your jaw.
