Wise. living near Omega, had the
surprise Of his life when he pulled
a sitting hen off the nest that she
had made in the edge OF straw

to suspect that she was sitting on
a dOorknob or a nest Of spoiled
eggs. When he lifted her up. in
stead Of a brood OF chickens or a
batch of spoiled eggs, there was a
bunch Of snakes. little sleek black
fellows. each about seven inches
long and wriggling furiously, Mr..
Wise promptly dispatched the
snakes. eleven in number, and the
hen was disposed OF by having her
neck wrung and buried. Mr.. Wise
said that he had no use for a fool
hen that could not tell the differ
ence between a snakes egg and
her own product.
