about the old hen. WIN was clucking her as
constituent. One of her own yellow
chickens was Matched. too. and seemed TO
be very friendly with its little foster brother.
And then more curious thing happened
The purple egg with white spots began to
crack, and in a few seconds out walked

The Wonderful Easter Chickens
BY DORIS WEBB.

The Easter hare crept silently into the
window, holding in his mouth a little bas-
kst filed with seven beautiful Easter eggs.
II was night time. and all the children
were asleep. The Easter hare waited an
irsstant and listened. Then he jumped ST.
lsntly to the floor. and began scurrying
about into the dim corners of the room.
As quickly as he could he hid the eggs all
over the house-upstairs and downstairs,
and then all in the pale moonlight he crept
out of the window and was gone.
Easter morning came very soon, and very
gladly, too. It woke up the little Marvin
children, and they jumped out of bed and
dressed as quickly as they could. Corne-
Tia, the youngest, seemed especially made
for Easter, for she looked just like q downy
yellow chicken. Her brown eyes were
round and bright, and her hair was fuzzy
and yellow. You know she said stop

wore this queer dress. Odd enough she
looked wandering through the yard with
the trousers Topping about her legs and
the blankets blowing in the wind.
Between her second and third year my
father broke her to drive. From the first
she trotted off with the buggy like any old
farm horse. We hattered ourselves that we
knew how to bring up a broncho. One
morning my father thought he would
blanket her. Puff was hitched to the buggy
ready to start for town AS he approached
with the blanket Puff started as If she
had never seen a blanket before. When 1t
touched her she reared and pitched and
plunged. while straps and buckles flew in
every direction. She seemed wild with fear
OF what had been her everyday dress for
two years After that we never felt quite
sure of her.
One day she was trotting quietly along
with the buggy when in some way the
halter strap came united and dropped
down. without a seconds warning Puff
was running and plunging down the street,
and before she could be quoted the buggy

Our Broncho.

One summer while we were living In
South Dakota a cowboy with a great drove
OF bronchos stopped In our town and sold
a number OF them there. My Father, who
was fond of horses and also liked to try new
things bought a one-year-old colt. He
wanted to see what 1t was that made the
broneho the unreliable horse that II Is.
He put the colt, which he called Puff,
into our back yard and petted her as ne
had always done his civilized colts. This
little wild animal seemed to enjoy caresses

A New Kind Of Bird.

Edna was much interested in birds and
animals. and with each new fact she learned
got some fun out of her elders by asking
them questions which they should have
known, but didn't.
One morning she asked her father: "Can
you tell me name OF two syllables which
begins with hum and ends with a kind of
animal?"
Edna's father felt quite proud of himself
when he said ''humming bird" but Edna
promptly replied:

But of course the ocean didn't pay any at
tention to him at all. The next wave came
sweeping In so fast and so far that 1t swept
right over Sandy and carried him back
again into the sea. Sandy struggled hard.
"Oh, what shall 1 dor" he cried. How
shall 1 ever get home again?' And then
the old ocean laughed a little to itself as it
slid over the pebbles, but it was really
kind so the next wave that went sweeping
up the beach left Sandy high and dry on
the shore How that little crab scuttled
home!

safely In his little hole again, the ocean

1T WAS A STEAM COMBINE.
Passengers on W. & c. II. Believed
Smoke Came From Grain Fire.

That a grain fire was in progress
near Warren station was reported
here yesterday afternoon by passen-
gers who came in on the W. & C. R.
train. According to them the blaze
was some distance from the railroad
and could not be located definitely
However, from the volume of smoke
they believed a large field was afire.
On hearing the report the local
grain dealers phoned to several ware
houses along the line for further in
formation regarding the fire. In re-
ply it was said that no grain fires
had occurred in that vicinity and that
the only smoke visible was from a
steam combine working near. 1t was
evidently this that had caused the
false alarm.

Notwithstanding all the talk about

yield of wheat in the county is esti-
mated at $50, 900 to 100000 bushels.
The barley crop, however, was SER

will fall short In quantity and quail

ing purposes, But the crop In the foot.

CHICAGO HORRORS
SWEATSHOPS RIVAL
THE WORST IN LONDON.
1Ien, Women and Children Work for
From Twelve to Thirty Cents Per
Day-Ordinances to Prevent and
Break Up Such Conditions Are
Practically n Dead Letter. and as
They Are Framed Cannot Be En-
forced Without Causing Much In
justice.

In London some weeks ago 6.
''sweated industries exhibition" was
held to bring home to the consuming
public the terrible evils of the sweat
shop system. 1t was shown that
women, girls and children were work.
ing in the worlds capital from -
to 16 hours a day in easements, tene-
ment attics and other dark and filthy
places at rates of pay that yielded
them S1.75 a week or even less. 1t
was shown that these conditions
meant disease, starvation, indescrib-
able misery and industrial demoraliz-
alton.
The Investigations that have been
carried on here in Chicago. says the
Record-Herald of that city. by the
sanitary inspector, Mr.. Hedrick, lead
to the melancholy conclusion that
there is plenty of material for a sim
liar exhibition in the most progressive
Of -.cleric-r cities and in the midst
Of unexampled national prosperity.
Mr.. Hedrick has found tenement
sweatshops in this city-in the con-
gested Italian. Jewish and Polish dis
tricts-in which men and women and
children work day and evening for
from 12 to 80 cents a day. The chill
.iren are Of school age and are forced
into the treadmiI because their par
ents cannot earn more than 80 cents
a day. The work Of the children nat
urally still further depresses the rate
of their parents pay.
Such conditions are appalling, as
Mr.. Hedrick says, and demonstrate
the need not only Of more rigorous
application of the existing ordinances
relating to workshops and sweatshops,
but Of earnest consideration Of posi-
bic amendments to those ordinances.
Mr.. Hedrick has instituted proceed
iugs under the municipal code
against a large number of unlicensed
proprietors Of workshops. There is
an explicit article in the code which
defines workshops so as to cover ten
ement sweatshops. 1t is provided that
none Of the articles identified with
the sweated industries-shirt making
artificial flowers, feathers, cigars
etc.-"shall be made, finished. alter
ed or repaired in any room or apart
rnent used as a living room or sleep
ing room" The violation of this pro
vision renders the guilty person liable
to a fine Of not less than $40.
As Mr.. Hedrick points out, it is thu
victim Of the sweating system who i
thus made liable. and no official ha
cared to proceed against the poor
helpless man or woman who is driver
BY hunger to disobey the ordinance
IN amendment prohibiting manufac
tCrers and foremen from sending ou
work to be done or finished in livin
rooms is suggested by Mr.. Hedrich
This. he thinks. would be more effect
