In these days when there is so much
talk about the meat supply that is dis
concerning to the stomachS of particu-
lar people we turn with confidence to
the American hen, knowing that the
corrupting influence Of commerce has
never touched her and that we may
partake of the soft yellow egg without
the least fear that adulterants Of any
kind have been squirted into it.
To be sure, in some boarding houses
they may lay 1t around in hot place
until it is overripe and not what might
be called an ideal food, but that is not
the fault of the hen who originally
turned ii out.
Too much cannot be said in praise Of
the hen in these days when we have
learned to distrust every one. She IS
never seen Sneaking in the back way
TO a drug store TO get a can OF yellow
paint to increase her output She is al
ways content to do the best she can
with such material as she can find in
the neighbors' gardens. The move to
make her the great American bird in
place of the eagle deserves the boost

PALMA'S LIFE WAS
IN GREAT DANGER
Young Lieutenant Discovered
Plot of 7 Soldiers to Kill
Cuba's Ruler.
EVIDENCE is CONCLUSIVE
WHEN SOLDIERS WERE FOUND,
THEY WERE CLEANING THEIR
REVOLVERS AND HAD INCRIM.
MATING PAPERS ON THEM.


Havana, Aug. LIT has developed
that the life of President Estrada
Palma, of Cuba, was in the gravest
danger yesterday, and that but for
the prompt action of a young lieu
tenant of artillery the island republic
would probably be today without a
ruler. For some time the report has
been circulated that certain members
of the army were plotting against
the present government, their an
nOunced grievance being that the
president was not sufficiently i'm
pressed with the necessity of a lar
&c and up to date" military force.
Yesterday, while lieutenant of ar
tillery was about his duties in Caba-
mas fortress, near which the presi-
dent is spending the summer. he was
approached by an artilleryman who
informed him that seven members of
his company were planning an attack
upon the president for that afternoon
and that they had their plans so far
perfected that they were assured
they must succeed.
The officer secured the names of
the seven men, and then, calling a
sergeant and squad of men, he set
off for the barracks where they were
reported to be. The seven men were
found cleaning their revOlvers and
placing them in condition for use.
They were promptly arrested and
are now locked up in the guard house
1t is reported that when they were
searched documents were found prov
ing absolutely that they had plotted
the life Of president and also indicat-
ing that the affair was an outcome
of the uprising of rebellious Havana
policemen last winter, when they at
tackled a force of rurales and killed
a sergeant, a corporal and two men
and wounded half dozen.
