THE HEN BIRD.
Behold
The Hen bird,
The modest mistress Of rhe barnyard,
The great talker,
The gabbler, gossiper
And producer of fruit.
The renowned originator Of the pre- |
historic
eOmelet.
The creator of the sunny side up"
The purveyor of the rare delicacy
Which accompanies
"Hammand-"
The celebrated inventor of the lump of
Indigestion, known as
Hard boiled"
l salute you
Take off my hat to you,
I have met your cold-storage children,
Ancient and modern,
Many times.
Fresh from the Stork they are
Delicious
But lying forgotten and in disuse
Many days, they are beyond
Peradventure.
May your days be enlightened,
May you walk in the ways of the
Inspired,
And some day may you learn
That the mission of true Henhood
Will be fulfilled
When you can lay
Poached egg
On buttered toast
Fresh
Every
Morning.

Never has a more poignant tragedy
darkened the annals Of literature than
the disagreement between oliver Her"
ford, the wit and artist, and his wife,
who was Miss Margaret Regain, the wit
and beauty.
1t is not a tragedy of violence, but
it is none the less cruel when one con-
siders the susceptibility to suffering OF
the modern artistic temperament.
Mr.. Herford has been called by Will
of America.
Mr.. HEREFORD and his charming wife
treated one another to jest, pun and
epigram all day long without Interrupt
ton. Never did two persons meet to-
gether who could pour out such a
ceaseless flow of verbal felicities and
eccentricities.
In this menage wit was served for
breakfast, and at no time of the twen-
ty-four hours was it lacking. There
was more of it than of many more
necessary commodities.
One matter of fact observer has re-
marked the case of the Herfords shows
that epigrams for breakfast are not a
satisfactory substitute for omelettes.
1t is obviously difficult to convey
, more than faint idea of the endless
interchange of wit and. humor thai
parted the Herfords. One evening al
dinner Mrs. HEREFORD remarked:
How did we ever come to marry
, Oliver?"
