n'The Hen With
 The Human Face'' Poultry Association Says it's "a
 Remarkable Bird'' If You Don't Believe it, Go to the Poultry Show and See
 For Yourself

Some will smile when they read of "the hen with the human face" and will doubt it, but it is we'll authen. ticated and the Bridgeport Poultry, Pigeon and Pet stock association vouches for it's truthfulness. It will be on exhibition at the fourth annual show of the association at Lincoln curiosity. The brilliant array of pet dogs. fancy breeds of chickens and poultry will be the main show but there is only one human faced hen.
 This hen with the human face is a remarkable bird. It starts a new train of thought and before the spec ulator is aware of it he is wondering if it may not be that humans sprang from hens instead of from monkeys. as some would have them believe. It belongs to Isaac Schantz of New Jersey.
 The following from a New York paper describes the hen "Isaac Schantz has 8 curiosity in a young Plymouth Rock hen, which has face resembling that of a human being. The hen was purchased by him for 39 cents. It has several teeth and chews it's food, which is principally chopped meat.
 ''The hen. has nails on it's feet like those of a human and 1t refuses to AAAAhSAC Whlh oSAdAlL OtAS CtllChCuSs
 'The hen was matched last spring but it's owner does not know where as the man from whom he purchased it bought 1t along with several other ordinary fowls"
 Aside from the description of teeth the clipping is correct. It takes a strong imagination to find hens teeth. This peculiar bird was secured by the show management after visit ing MT. Schantz and seeing the hen. An offer was made to purchase the freak but the owner would not part with it except for an exhorbitant price. so arrangements were made to secure it for exhibition purposes.
 The bird is considered so valuable that the owner would not trust it out of his sight. It will not only be un- der lock and key at the show but an attendant will keep it in sight night and day.
 It is no fake but a real live chicken weighing about four pounds.
 It was at first suggested that the bird be secured and placed on exhibi- ton at a moderate fee but members of the association objected. stating that the public had so nobly support ed the poultry show in the past that it was entitled to see all the exhi- bits. cats. dogs, prize poultry and freaks for the one admission fee and so, although the owner demanded and got good round sum, the bird goes into the show at the expense of the association and on general exhibition.

FINDS RING LOST ss YEARS. Connecticut MusExrat Trapper Recov- CTS New York WOman's Keepsake.

Middletown, Conn, Dec 2-while setting traps for muskrats near the Wilcox reservoir, James Jones found a gold ring set with previous stones and engraved "C. M. Toss, January First, 1874" MT. Jones handed the ring to the chief of police and a local news paper mentioned the find. Now the chief of police has received a letter from Mrs. Caroline Toss Gyger of 1 West Sixty-fourth street, New York, saying the ring is hers.
 Mrs Gyger writes that the ring was one given her as child by her mother. The mother of Mrs. Gyger was Mrs. Archibald Floss, and the family then lived back of Wesleyan University in a house that is now used as a society clubhouse. The ring was given as a present. Soon afterward Mrs. Gyger, then a child, with other children went on a picnic and lost the ring in a brook. She de- scribed the stones as ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby and diamond, the first letters of the names of the stones in order spelling regard
 Mrs. Gyger writes she would value the ring highly for its associations and for the reason it was given her by her mother.

AT Y. M. c. A.

Many a man found encouragement, inspiration and an uplift besides the enjoyment of fine music at the 'drop ins' Sunday afternoons at the Young Mems Christian Asso. last winter. It was new plan but 1t worked and will be started again next Sunday af- ternoon at 3:s0 o'clock. MT. L. T. Warner who is so splendidly equip ped as a thinker, student of the Bible and has such sincere sympathy with men was secured to bring real mes- sage to men. They could talk back if they liked-some did-and that added spice to the program. He has con- sented again for this year.
 Mrs. R. D. Martin the fine soprano of the South Congregational church will sing twice and Miss Florence Umstatter will be at the piano during the musical half hour. 3:30 to o'clock and MT. Warner will present his mes- sage from to 4:45.
 For young men who enjoy a discus sion, or who like to think on some subject worth while, or who want to have a real, worthy purpose in their lives the Y. M. c. A. Sunday after moons are most attractive. All men are cordially invited.
