he not this month. but sooner or later
he expected to see the last of the 4.

THE HOBO HEN.
Successful Trip Over the Rail on

for Breakfast.

This Is q true story of n hobo hen,
There was ample scope not TO say
temptation for the employment OF a
little poetic license to elaborate and
emhellish the story, but we content
ourselves with a plain recital OF the
actual facts.
Engineman Dick Warren was at
amply coaches and sleepers from
Richmond to New Port News for a
return troop-movement.
Az the train stopped At . switch
entering the yards at Old Point June
tion the sun was threatening to peep
up over the Eastern horizon. Dick no

hen come from under the car next to
the engine. and leiEurely pick up 4
breakfast from scattered grain be-
tween the tracks. The engineman
thought II was an odd time and place
for hiddie. but soon got the signal to
proceed and as he pulled open the
throttle her henship disappeared I'M
der the moving train.
The fireman watched to see IL she
came out on his side of the train. but
no sign was seen Of her. At the
stop further down ia the yards the
engineman got down and looking
under the car observed biddie COM

did tho hobo hen come from tAe
point at which the equipment was
taken? Did she set on at Richmond
Going to meet returning soldier
boy whom she had missed?
Anyhow, she had sense enough to
get 4 nice ride, to get of for break
fast and on again when her special
started.
Dick brought the hobo hen home
and says she can't be bought! It's
safe to say that her henship has found
very engaging quarters
