A member of the Methodist con-
gregation requests The Gazette to
announce that the public reception
to be given to Rev. and Mrs. Milton
G. Shuman, at the church parlors
next Friday evening, beginning at
s o'clock, will be for all the people
of the city and country who have a
welcome in their thoughts for the
newcomers as citizens as well as
those who will welcome him as pas
tor. Redwood has rarely been cold
or formal on such occasions, and the
response should be pronounced
enough to convince Mr.. and Mrs.
Shuman that all good citizens are
glad they came and hope we shall
like each other with better acquaint-
ance.

manager. Manager Stewart will be
able to turn over the company's bus
mess at the flood-t tide of its prosper
ity, with 308 phones on the city cir
cult and nearly fifty miles of rural

with US for a month or two, how
ever, until his successor will relieve
him. Time to say good bye later.

For several thousand years we de-
pended entirely upon the setting hen
to multiply and replenish the earth
with chickens, but we are somewhat
more independent Of the huffy old

The discovery of the incubator, or

forward in the culture of the hen.

AN ESSAY ON HENS.

opportunities for studying the habits

been visibly affected by the alarming
scarcity OF literature bearing upon
this important subject.
Inc hen is a wonderful. bird. and I
nave always thought she deserved
more attention from the outside world
than she gets. | have felt a deep-
seated interest in the hen for a good
many years, and l have done all in
my power to start wave of popular
sympathy in her favor; but for long
time it seemed that my gray hairs
would have to go down in sorrow to
the grave without tasting the fruits
OF my labors. Many times I have

at the expense of the hen, while she

another
The hen is very chicken-hearted and

rule. have been personally
acquainted with great many differ
ent hens in my time, and almost with
out an exception they have gone
through life with a sad and melan-
choly expression on their faces. The
hen never laughs except on certain
occasions, but when she thinks the

comes the mother of a new egg. she
most always climbs onto the fence
and devOtes several minutes to laugh
ter. On these occasions her face ex-
pands into very respectable smile,
and the ripple of her musical
laughter goes echoing out across the
adjoining plantations in a manner
that is altogether satisfying. But
with the exception of these ovations
which the hen gives to her newborn
eggs, she is very meek and lowly in
heart.
The infant hen is called biddy,
and when she reaches her early hen
hood she is sometimes called a pullet. |
When a young hen becomes the
author of her first new and original
egg she throws aside all her maidenly
reserve and abandons herself to a |
season of unalloyed enjoyment. She
thinks there was never anything to |
equal her performance, and the novel |
ty of the situation appeals to her with J
such force that she has to cackle
right out. The greatest day of a
hens life is the day she lays her first
egg. She may go on laying eggs for
years and years, but her bosom will
never again heave with so much un-
mingled JOY as it hove with on that
occasion.
After the novelty of the thing wears
off, the young hen will usually go on
laying eggs for a few weeks in very
quiet sort of manner, and then she

Mrs. Shaw is the daughter Of II.
Fisher Eldiedge Of Portsmouth, y. II.

L p TO May, 1903, she was one Of the
young society matrons of Boston and
Worcester, moving in most exclusive
circles. She and her husband appear
ed To be extremely happy and went
about much together, riding in theil
own automobiles and carriages, Mr.
Marble acting as chauffeur.
Early in 1905, however, the differ
enees arose in the family and Marble
ceased To be connected with the house
hold. Then came the sensational an
nouncement that Mrs. Shaw had gon,
away. At the same time Marble dis

Then came the quest for the mothe

were located in Santa Barbara, wheu
the latter was operating moving pic

extremely modest circumstances.
