Rome the daughter of janitor. She
began her ascent of the worlds ladder

Suddenly she appeared In Paris,

sighed over the fleeing of the dark

She had saved her money and was
studying for the opera. That was the
secret. After some years she returned

You can't down a North Carolina hen.
j. P. Bowen, of Brevard, has n with
q wooden leg and doesn't seem to mind
it in the least. The hen-not Mr..
Bowen.
One of its legs got broken, and Mr..
Bowen, after several attempts, made n
OF wood and fastened it securely to the
original stump.
Now that hen scratches with it in
preference to her sound leg. She has
learned to use it in settling any domestic
dispute which may arise in the family.
Only yesterday she used it with telling
effect on the old rooster and laid him
out fat.
When she scratches the other hens
gather around her at a respectful dist
ance and cackle and cackle about it.
She seems proud of her leg and has
learned to walk quite gracefully.
One day Mr.. Bowen noticed her off in
the field by herself. She was prancing
around, evidently learning new
stunts to show of before her friends.
The other morning the leg became
unfastened, and the hen picked it up in
her bill, made a series of grotesque hops
towards Mr.. Bowen and laid it down at
his feet and then Topped over on her
with her n goodleg and her one
stump sticking up in the air. MI. Bow
fastened it on and the hen, cackling
loyfully, started in tn scratch her break
