A NEW YORK HEN STORY

The following story comes all
the way from Tarrytown, New
York. Can you heat it?
The white leghorn hen owned by
John GrGhan of GlenviIle. which
a few weeks ago followed him to
the trolley car to lay his fare
with a nickel he had forgotten,
has again proved her devotion
to her master.
The other day Grohan enjoyed a
half holiday and he started to
build small chicken coop. The
hen stood by and watched him
pick up the mails and drive them
home. After he had picked up
ha'f dozen the hen walked over
and picked up one with her hoax
and dopped it in his hand. This
was simple. and Grohan was get
ting along well with his job when
he smashed his finger.
Witn this ntlli:Ap he couldn't
hold the .ailS. The hen, seeing
that something was wrong, held a
nail in her bcak. Grohan placed
the hens head near the board and
with gentle tap started the
nail, and the hen then picked up
another nail.
Alter that the hen held the nails
agaist the boards and Grohan
drove them home and the coop was
soon complete.

ELECTRIC MULES FOR PANAMA

The first shipment of steel has
been made from New York for
building a unique electric railway
along the Panama canal for drawn
ing great ships from ocean to
ocean. The enormous volume of
shipping across the isthmus will be
drawn on the ancient towpath sys-

Tor steamers to proceed under
their own steam. In place of the
mules on this curious towpath
powerful electric locomotives will
draw the largest ships smoothly
and swiftly across the continent.
A steamer of. say 10000 tons,
which the canal will readily
accommodate, is obviously very
heavy burden and the electric
locomotives will be geared to the
tracks by middle rail in the form
of rack. The canal commission
has advertised fol 1900, 900
pounds of steel ties slots and

NO COST TOO GREAT

What the Navy Department
will do tn save a human life is
we'll illustrated by a recent oc-
currcnce. Commander Miller, in
command of the Vicksburg, cabled
the department from Corinto that
an enlisted man had been stricken
with appendicitis. and that there
was a chance to save his life,
provided the vessel could steam at
once t Panama, the nearest modern
hospital. The Vicksburg was oc-
cupied with very important bust
ness in which some fifteen million
dollars were involved. but
promptly came back the reply :
p" Disregard all previous orders;
steam quickest possible to Pana-
ma" The 500 mile trip was made
under forced draught, and the
man is reported as recovering at
the Aeon Hospital Panama.
