HEN WAS A kITTENNAPPER.
Tried to Adopt Litter and BattTed
with Mother Cat.

Wilkesbarre, pam old hen owned
by Alonzo Mauser of Grovania. near
he.e, has the maternal instinct so
strongly developed that the other day.
having failed to mother anything else,
she tried to adopt nestfuI of young
kittens, and fought stoutIy for their
possession with the mother cat.
For the last two weeks the hen has
tried in every way that her brain could
suggest to nest on every egg she
found, but Mauser did not want her
to hatch and repeatedly threw her off
nests which she had made. He had
a daily fight with her over the matter.
The hen discovered the other day
that the mother of litter of kittens
had left them for few moments. and
she promptly took them for her own.
When the mother cat returned there
was battle until Mauser, attracted
by the noise, arrived and locked the
hen in a coop.

nobllhg effect upon their characters in aft
er life.

children in the bands of mercy for som
time past. but was at first unable to de-
eide upon the best plan to reach a large
number of the little ones. At hast she
decided TO organize the bands in the pub
lie schools. When she spoke of the mat
ter 10 Superintendent Christensen he
warmly endorsed ii.
" was decided that the teachers should
be asked TO assist in the work. They
have responded with enthusiasm.
The bands of mercy form the children
branch of the American Humane society.
A child on joining band takes the fol-
lowing pledge:
Il will try TO be kind to all living
creatures, and viii try TO protect them
from cruel usage"

stories of animal life, which are interest
ing as well as instructive. and are in

Washington, March 14.-Senator
Warren had a conference today with
war department officials relative to
joint maneuvers of the regular army
and militia organizations during the
coming summer. In passing the army
appropriation bill the house omitted an
appropriation to pay expenses of the
maneuvers, which would approximate

committee probably will add this item
to the army bill when it reports it to
