A man named Gumskie. living at %
Plainfeld street, has in his yard a COM
mon hen that he would not sell for sl0o.
on Monday evening Mr.. Gumskie sold
this and about % more hens TO a man
whose home is on Florence street where
the flock was taken at once, and when
Mr.. Gumskie returned home the next
afternoon at 5 clock he found one OF
the hens In his yard. At first he did not
believe that the hen was one OF those
that he had sold tiie night before, but as
the hen had always been something or
pet and had habit OF walking into the
house wh-n an opportunity presented II
self. so Mr.. Gumskie opened the door,
and in walked Mrs. Hen, and set up
clucking which leo Mr.. Gumsxie and
family TO believe that the hen was ceie-
brating it's return TO the old home.
~ -Gumskie sagsIhat- he cannot make
any of his friends believe that this hen
had returned from the new home on Flor
ence street TO its old home on PAINTED
street. but such is fact nevertheless,
and how II got back home, going the
long distance without being gobbled up
by a dog, cat or boy. IS a mystery s,oo 70
