But, say, how did old Biddy get on that
perch so high?
I'm sure way back In granddad's time she
wasn't half so spry.
She was a speckled dunghill with long
feathers on her leg.
She was so busy scratching lice she sell

Now. now. my friend. don't bother US to
speak about the past
Where fossils love to linger with their feet
In ruts stuck fastI
That hen upon the pinnacle. that hen is

She's built by brains of the best strains
from Atlantic to Pacific.
Skilled chemists balance her fine feeds
between protein and fats.
She doesn't roost now in the trees. to be
scared by owls and bats,
But she lives now in a palace that is also
scientific,
And SO, of course, she beats the band from
Atlantic to Pacific.
She lays eggs by the carload. by the mil

And before another census she will cackle
Ger a trillion.

her well and trust,
She'll serve US so much fancy meat the

ROOSEVELT SAYS
NUNS THE WORD

dorsing senator La Toilette for the
presidency. Neither Roosevelt nor
Garfield would say word in regard
to their conference.
Mr.. Garfield succeeded In entering
Colonel Roosevelts editorial offices
unseen and had been there for some
time before his presence was known.
He departed soon after and later met
Colonel Roosevelt at club, where
they were able to talk In seclusion.
Despite this arrangement Colonel
Roosevets presence at the club be-
came known and when he emerged to
go to his train, he found squad of
interviewers and photographers wait
ing.
The colonel was not at all pleased.
He said 1t was most offensive to be
followed to private clubs and that he
regarded 1t as an outrage.
Colonel Roosevelt saw many visitors
at his office today, but declined to say
who they were, explaining that some
of them did not like to have their
names appear IN print. One Of them
was Mike Donovan, an athletic
trainer, who used to go to Washing
4 ton to box VITA the colonel when ht
Twas president.
