hood Days, Is Hatched Out a
Real Nature Freak.

New York-Moritz Adler has q
country home and farm near Deal,
N. J. He also has a Plymouth Rock
chicken. He gave her place in the
back yard of the home, with dry
goods box for a coop.
Though perfectly normal in every
other. way, Rose-that's her name
has the shrewd face of monkey. She
drinks soup from spoon held in the
hand of her nurse. Having no beak,
she does not peck at meat scraps,
after the manner of fowl, but picks
them up daintily with her strawberry
hued lips.
The facial expression Of Rose is
piuuant. She has a rather set ex-
preston at the corner Of her mouth,
Indicating firmness of character. Her
nose is well defined Rising from her
rather broad forehead Is pompadour
of feathers in the style that young
girls affected with their hair a year
ago, when Rose was a smooth white
egg instead of remarkable chicken.
The general contour of her face is
somewhat like that of Susie, the fun
ny little orang-outang from Borneo
who delights children at the Bronx
ZOO. Her snappy black eyes light up
wonderfully when she sees cracked
corn or oatmeal mush.
"She was born year ago." said
