A LESSON FROM
THE CHICKEN COOP

still live in my yard. But as the
rent must be paid in advance,
you must give me every first
worm and then you can have the
second worm for yourselves"
What nonsense. We are still
going to eat all the worms that
we find just as we have always
done"
But the old rooster showed
them from his Political Econ
omy" how the Interests of
Labor and Capital Are Identical, "
because if they did not pay him
rent he would close the works
and declare a shutdown and not
allow them to scratch in his yard
at all, and so they would all starve
to death. From this time they
found they had to work Just
twice as hard for a living as they
did before, as they had to give
half their worms to the rooster
for rent, but the rooster did not
have to scratch or work at I'll. as
he received as rent as many
worms as all the rest of the
chickens put together. Soon his
pile of worms began to grow very
fast, and no matter how many he
ate he could not keep it down.
He became very fat and lazy and
sneered at the working classes.
So he began looking around for
a way to dispose of the surplus,
and one day he said to a pert
young hen with matrimonial
intentions.
Marry me and you can live off
my pile of, worms and not have to
scratch for a living" And the
hen. nothing loath, became his
wife.
Then the other chickens
objected.
1T is true that you think you
have bought our yard with your
abstinence, but from what has
the hen abstained. that she gets
the products of our labor for
nothing?"
Now. see here" said the
rooster. This whole land be.
longs to me, and | am going to
do with my property as ! wish.
1t is entirely matter of private
business with which you have
nothing to do"
But, excuse US, it seems as il
we had something to do with it,
when you get half of all the
worms we dig. We are compelled
to work one-half of each day for
you and have only the other half
to work for ourselves"
well, if you do not like the
way the business interests of this
yard are conducted you can get
out Of it and get off the earth.
So the other chickens had TO
submit, and the capital of the
country grew larger and larger
until it "smelled to Heaven.
Then the chickens said:
You cannot eat all those
worms if you live a hundred

compelled to borrow from the
pile of worms. but they soon dis
covered that it was easier to 60
without than it was to pay back
both principal and interest.
And many of them declared
that if they could not get enough
to keep themselves alive il
was a sin and a shame to hatch
any more chickens in the world.
Then the old rooster read them a
a long lecture on race suicide.
because if they all died he and his
retinue would be compelled to
scratch for a living.
One day. after reading his
Political Economy" he beamed
all over and said:
The trouble is over-produc-
ton"
"Over-production." cried the
chickens in establishment. We
call it under-consumption. The
idea of calling it over-production
when we are starving to death"
He got out his Political Econo-
my" to convince them that they
could not get enough to eat
because there were too many
worms and that the only way in
which they could get any worms
to eat was to dispose of the sur
plus, so that there would not be
so many worms. and they could
go to work and dig more worms.
The chickens fled. fearing some
new disaster. but he explained to
the few that were left that they
must build up a large foreign
trade. and that if they made their
land the workshop of the world
and sold more than they bought,
and rolled up a large balance of
trade. they would all get rich.
So now he advocated the open
door and foreign missions to con.
vert the heather and went into
the world and bought all kinds OF
tinsel and gew-gaws and GIN.
cracks to hang around the necks
of his wife and daughter. These
gimcracks were not at all com
Portable. but they tickled the
vanity of the fat hen and her
silly daughter and made the
starving chickens envious and
miserable.
But the pile of worms still
grew.
Then the old rooster said:
See how prosperous we are
See what an enormous foreign
trade we have built up"
But the chickens said:
1T may be general prosperity
but it is also private starvation
and as usual the general gets al
the honors, while the private
gets the knocks"
Why" says the rooster. sex

own all these foreign gimcrack'
and my pile of worms is greater
than before. The high tide o.
prosperity will enable us to driv,
all the rest of the world out o.
business and we shall have the
entire market to ourselves"
Well. what good will that d.
u.s." said the chickens. "Shal
we have to pay less rent?"
Why. of course not. stupids
Rents will advance on account o

in population through foreigl

But the chickens were getting
so restless that he said to some Of
the clever ones:

that we will keep clean"
But the old rooster said:

YOU give the same. and we will
get up charitable organization
societies"
"0h, yes" said the ungrateful
chickens. you take n thousand
worms from us every day and
give os back ten. and think you
are very holy and righteous
Now. see here" said the
rooster. you have been listening
to the agitators again. Let me
tell you that the interests of the
laboring chickens will not be
looked after by the labor agi-
tators, but by the Christian
rooster, to whom God. in His
infinite wisdom. has given the
property Of this country"
One day he came home from
his foreign tour all in q fluster.
For he said that a duck. or a
Duke. as he called it had asked
him for the hand Of his daughter
in marriage. The Duck had told
him that he was awfully in debt,
but that it would be a fine thing
for his daughter to be called a
Duckess. as he called it. and that
papa rooster could pay off all the
debts of the Duck with his i'm
mense pile Of worms. and in that
way he could effectually dispose
of the surplus and be relieved
from over-production. The Duck
also told him that they could all
still live of the interest and the
profits of the chicken yard. The
rooster said further that they
were all going to live abroad with
his daughter and son-in-law. the
Duck. and that he bought a place,
Skylow Castle. and that the
chickens must all be very proud
that their country chick was
going to be a Duckess.
Glory Hallelujah." shouted
the chickens. when he is gone
we can have the yard to ourselves
again"
But the rooster had left an
agent to look after his interests,
and the chickens found that the
agent was harder than the master
because the rooster had big LOT
Of rotten debts of the Duck to
pay, too. But when they all
came back and the wedding day
arrived. the chickens all kissed
1.-THE feet of the Rooster and
Roosteress. and Duck and
Duchess. and said how proud they
were that one of them was to be
a Duckess. and begged her. il
possible. to make Ducks anc
brakes of them, which she
solemnly promised to do.
Il was not long after that the
news arrived that the Rooster
had so swelled up that he hac
burst and was dead.
Hail. Columbia" cackled tn,
chickens. Now we shall surel,
have the yard back again for our
selves. Just as we had it before.

"oh, but" he said. Il am going
to have large retinue to help
consume the surplus"
So he told cre of them to
spread out his wings in front of
him so as to shade him from the
hot sunshine, and another to fan
him with his wings, as he was
now too lazy to do it for himself.
Then he had a nice little hen for
a manicure to trim his claws and
massage chicken to rub him
down in the effort to keep down
the fat. And he told all his
retinue they could live off the
pile Of worms. But it was not
long before the rooster and his
wife and their one little chick
were complaining of the ineom-
potency of domestic help.
The rooster was coaxed by his
wife to have a new palace coop
with golden roosts. The golden
roosts were not as comfortable as
the wooden ones, but were more
swagger.
But all this time the chickens
had been raising broods of their
own, and the yard now began to
be well filled. so that il became
harder to get enough worms for
all. especially when they had to
give one-half to the old rooster.
So the rooster said:
Il see that will have to raise
your rent, and after this you will
have to pay me three-quarters of
all the worms you find, instead of
one-half."
Then the chickens made an
outcry and said:
When you first made your
bargain with us there were only
one-tenth as many chickens in
the yard as there are now. and
so you are getting ten times as
many worms as we bargained for.
as we still have to give you one
half of all the worms we dig"
Why, of course" said the
rooster, that is natural in
crease
Well. we cannot afford to pay
any more rent, because it is much
harder to make a living now than
when there were fewer chick
ems"
That is Just the reason why
you MUST pay more. Any politi-
cal economy will tell you that the
harder it is to make a living the
more the living is worth. You
must be fools not to know that
density of population makes high
rents. And now, want to tell
you that if you do not stop
grumbling | will import lot OF
other chickens from the outside.
We will have foreign immigration
to keep down the price of labor
and keep up the price of rents
In short, we will open the doors
to the poor and oppressed of all
nations and they shall come to
live in The land of the free and
the home of the brave to find
with US a refuge from the
tyranny and injustice of the iron
heel of despotism."
But the chickens were now in a
very bad way. and many of them
actually starved TO death. So the
rooster said:
You must not do that. II
would be the height Of ingrati.
tude if you should all starve to
death. for if you should all die
what would become of me? Why,
| might actually be compelled to
scratch for my own living on my
vast domain, which without its
teeming millions would be worth.

We'll. then. we do not see
said they. IF the teeming mil.
lions give all the value to the

play with Dick again." says Miss
Gish. who as Minnie, the Limehouse
slavey in "FuIy," is the sweetheart
of Boy, the second mate of the four
masted schooner. "And ! think this
isone of the finest parts have ever
played"
If you don't know Dorothy Gish
personally, you're out Of luck. She
is one of these earnest, intense per-
sons who work with all their mind
and soul, and play with all their
heart.
"Motion pictures, however, mean
mostly work." she will tell you, "and
it's by hard work only that we get
anywhere in the art"
81 like my role of Minnie even
better than the blind girl in 'Orph-
ans of the Storm which was my last
picture under Mr.. Griffith's direction.
Il enjoy playing opposite Mr..
Barthelmess because, ! guess, we
were both brought up in our art UNI
der the same master. We interpret
emotion and character in the same
way"
You wouldn't think it to look at
her, but Miss Dorothy is very seri-
Gus young lady who devotes most of
her time to her work. She laughs
at you with coquettish eyes from the
screen, but she overwhelms you off
the screen with the clarity of their
vision into life itself.
"Of course" she says, quite prim-
ly, "if you are going to succeed in
any profession, business, or art you
must devote yourself entirely to it..
So it is with motion pictures, one
must absorb the character you are
to portray or your work will be a
failure. 1t isn't easy going, and you
don't just sail into success on wave
of popular approval. You pull at
your own particular oar.
81 have been in motion pictures
now for long time. / have seen
the art grow up from its infancy al
most" Ut sounds frightfully mature,
but remember Miss Gish has been
playing in pictures since her pigtail
days, except, of course, that she new
er had pigtails, but long, golden curls
unsteady
'In the old days, so long as it was
motion picture, the public was sat-
isfied," says Dorothy. "Now, how
ever, that the novelty has worn off,
the public is demanding good stories,
we'll carried out, and portrayed arts
tically on the screen. And in my own
small way, l am working for that
very thing"
