The great American hen is coming
in for her share of glory, says the
Feather. The daily papers and. maga-
zines have begun to note her extreme
value in this world Of important events
and saying all kinds of nice things
| about her. One of the leading dsilies
tells US that fifteen months of her
work would pay off the National debt,
and that all the gold and silver pro-
uuced in the world during the year are
not equal in value to her eggs. If the
hen would work for one year for the
children of the United States alone,
she would more than pay the entire
cost of their public sc chool education in
every State ,in the Union for two
years. This sort of reasoning could go
on indefinitely. and com pletely smoth-
er the hen with glory, but it shows
what thing it is to keep plugging
away at any proposition. A few years
ago it was the poor old hen," but
now all are taking their hats off to
her.
