Alter one has planted a nice patch of early pens, or a lady has made the necessary arranging and planting for a tasteful flower garden, one of the most soul-trying and provoking things in the world is to have a flock of hens scratch up the seeds. That lady who can look upon a prospective flower garden after a few thoroughly competent com-petent and properly educated hens have had an hour's turn at it, and retain a serene countenance and not say naughty words, can be considered con-sidered as sanctified. Of course chickens, under the constitution, con-stitution, have the same righU as other American citizens and Modocs the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, so long as they do not in-fringo in-fringo upon the rights of others.
