The Cost Of a Hen.

.
(W. j. hampton, in N. Y. World.)
How much 1t costs to keep hen.
In dollars and in cents,
do not know, but otherwise
1t simply is immense.
She's such busy, active thing
And wrecks more garden soil
In half an hour than one can fix
In days and days of toll.
She doesn't seem to bother much
About her mortal needs
Until the flower beds are done,
And then she swipes the seeds.
She's neighborly as she can be,
And when her larder's poor.
She climbs the high dividing fence
And helps herself next door.
she roams around the livelong day,
AS cheerful as can be,
And plays the very dickens with
All growing property.
She seems to think she has right
To, every little bit
Inat she can see, and what she can't
She goes and digs for It.
Oh, say
What does hen cost every year?
To calculate Is vain,
For figures cannot measure half
Her owners mental strain.

The first step in clearing the site
on which the new Federal building will
be constructed at the corner of 18th

Oldest landmarks in Lexington.

used it for blacksmith shop contiraS

At Kansas City the 0 is SIT #. be-
