REMARKABLE HEN PLAYS PIANO.

Watching Girl

Elkton, Md.-In poultry yard near
here is a hen that is considered TO be
freak. She can play the piano.
IL all happened when the hen flew
into the parlor OF the farmhouse and
landed on the ivory keys of the instru-
ment which, Of course. gave forth a
few discordant notes. At first the
chicken was greatly astonished. but in
a little while she grew accustomed 20
the sounds and liked the effect.
IL then became common thing for
the hen To perch on the window while
the daughter OF the house was taking
her lessons and intently listen 20 the
music. BY and boy the fowl tried a
few notes herself and finally. to the
surprise Of an, she ran the scale.
That settled 10. The hen. called
Bache, started out on an artistic ca
reer. and TO say that she has succeed
ed puts il mildly. She is really Won
derful.
In the heavier COMPOSITIONS she is a
failure. but in the lighter works. and
especially in sprighuy airs. she sur
passes. Her range. OF course. must
be limited by the width Of her claws.
but even this handicap is partly over
