amt lookin out after peoples health
to endeavor to keep people in good

We don't remember when SIGH dis
turbance has been caused in our midst
by SIGH a trivial sircumstants as a hen
which wanted to set last week, which
only goes to show that it amt allus
the big things in life that disturbs folks
but that sometimes little things which
you don't think amounts to much will
stir up the whole entire town.
This fowl that wanted to set be-
longed to Missus Bill Hepburn, wife of
our artistick blacksmith, who makes it
general rule to go to the Co. seat
every Satterday and come back home
not only under the weather but fullern
tick.
Well Missus Hepburn went out to
the henhouse' tother day to gether the
eggs, which she has been selling to Hen
Weathersby for as much as Hen would
pay her per doz., and having Hen give
her creddit for same, being as when
Missus Hepburn sells enuf eggs she is
a-going to purchase enuff alpacka
dressgoods to make her a dress which
Miss Phoebe Hilderbrand, our fashion
able dressmaker, will make for her
and when she got to the henhouse she
was surprised to find a old dominecker
hen setting on two eggs who wouldn't
scarcely shoe often the nest she was
THAT uStcIAllllcd " pct, Dul n1lSSuS I1Sp-
burn shood her off. Missus Hepburn
said it made her turrible mad to see
that old hen wanting to set in May
when she should of set early in Aprile
when Missus Hepburn would of been
glad to of had her set, being as then
she diddeat have enuff hens who wanted
to set
Well, next day Missus Hepburn found
the same hen on the same nest and
she shood her off agin and shet up the
henhouse so she couldn't git in, and
made her and all the rest of the chik-
kens also roost out all night, being as
it was quite warm, but during the night
a fox or a skunk, she don't know which,
killed four chickens for her, but unfor-
cfoonate as it was, they diddent kill
the old dominecker hen VINO wanted to
set.
Next day, when Missus Hepburn
stopped over the woodbox, which is
behind the stove in the kitchen, to pick
up stick of wood to put in the stove,
what should fly outen the woodbox
into her face with a squawk except that
old dorninecker hen who had come into
the kitchen through the open door when
Missus Hepburn wassent there & elm
into the woodbox and went to work
setting on a couple of cobblestones used
to prop doors open with, which had
been tflrowd temporary into the wood
box. Jest as If she could hatch cobble-
stones out into chickens, the fool hen
Missus Hepburn took all the wood out
en- the woodbox and turned it upside
down to keep the blamed old her from
coming back to it, and went about her
work.
