an ambitious cluck draws no distinc-

sometimes the nanny hen, horrified
at the little scoop shovelers, will just
proceed to wiring their rubbernecks.
People who have only a few geese
and plenty of sitting hens often play
a shell game on the laying goose by
putting a nest egg In and taking out
the goose egg. The goose, thus think
ing she has missed laying, keeps at it
and often lays from twenty to sixty
eggs season.
Six eggs weigh two pounds and are
enough for q large hen, Brahmas, Co

Set q storm shelter over your sitting

John DieboId's Wonderful Yarn Abeut
Why a Fowl Lit on His Neck
Ia Cknnna

In Storm.
New York City.-Just what a Jet
black duck was doing thirty miles at
sea in the middle of the night, with
a storm raging, was a puzzle to most
of the passengers Of the Old Dominion
steamship Jefferson until John Die
bold, upon whose shoulder the fowl
landed, came forward with an expla-
nation which, If unusual, is at least
interesting.
Diebold, who was returning to New
York from Norfolk after serving four
years on the Kearsarge, was walking
along the quarter deck about eleven
o'clock at night when the duck came.
The wind was blowing something like
fifty miles an hour and the steamship
was swinging along through heavy
sea. The darkness was impenetrable.
Suddenly there was f1uttering about
Diebold's head. Wings tapped in his
face. He put up his hands and clasped
what turned out to be duck as black
as coal and about the size of can
vasback. The duck seemed satisfied
and Diebold took it first to the smok-
ing room, where he exhibited 1t to a
score of passengers, and later to his
berth, where he kept it over night.
All day the duck perched upon Die
bolds shoulder, refusing to let any
one else touch it and accepting atten-
ton from iebold with all the gra-
ciousness of poll parrot.
There's no mystery to it what
ever" said Diebold. This duck is
friend of mine. I saw it once before
in different circumstances. 1t few
aboard the ship one afternoon down
in the Chesapeake and stuck to me
for three days. fed it and treated it
with all the kindness due to a self re-
specting, jet black duck, and when we
steamed out of the Chesapeake
tossed it off the side of the ship.
That's all. l don't pretend to be an
authority on ducks, but this bird re-
membered me and probably knew I
was on the jefferson. Anyhow, what
in the world would it have been do
ing out at sea on a night like last
night if it didn't want to see some
one badly?"
Diebold carried the duck on his
shoulder till the Jefferson reached tbs
pier Then he turned it over to the
steward with instructions to release 1t
| off Cape Charles.

FEATHERS AND EcesAELLs.

When Four birds are sick and you
find lice on them, don't jump to the
conclusion that lice did it all. Lice do
not suck blood. They simply eat
feathers and skin scruf and crawl A
good dust bath Is their finish.
A fancier who exhibits borrowed
birds is trickster. Lending birds to
a fancier TO increase his entry to win
a cup this year on condition that he
lend you his birds to win next year is
simply a conspiracy to defraud. The
rule is, every exhibitor must own his
Birds" Better, every exhibitor must
breed and own his birds.
If you plaster your poultry house be
sure to supply your chickens with oys-
ter shell; otherwise they eat the plas-

recognition Of Miss McCann's bravery
at the time Of the accident to the
steamer General Slocum, in which q
number of lives were lost. The young
heroine was recuperating at a health
resort near New York and was on the
beach at the time the steamer was dis
covered to be on fire. She saw chill
dren jumping overheard from the i'll
fated boat and went into the water.
and returned to the shore. She waded
in again and brought others to safety.
She repeated this act until she had res
cued nine in all. Miss McCann is soon
to be graduated from the Florence Crit
tenton Training school, in New York
city.
During the campaign for the woman
suffrage bill in Washington a camp
was established on the summit of
Mount Rainier, and the banner was
carried to the camp by four beautiful
young women, who placed 1t over the
entrance to the tent. Women in Wash
lngton were enfranchised by act of the
territorial legislature in 1888. They
were disfranchised by the courts in
1888. Ever since then the women Of
the state have been active in their ef-
forts to have a full suffrage bill passed
and succeeded in February Of this
year. The vote in the senate was 80 to
9, the bill having previously passed the
house by a vote Of 70 to 18. 1t was
signed by the governor.
Miss Anna Murphy of Des Moines,
Ia, saved enough from her salary as a
stenographer in law Office to buy a
hotel, which she Is conducting with
! success. She has hours which she de-
votes to her stenography and typewrit-
ing. She employs her help, buys the
provisions for her table, keeps the

fifty rooms. Her years Of experience
in the law Office enabled her to draw
