Show j Poor Hen Had to Die. One Friday Mrs. C. I'. YValsner bought a hen at an Atchisou grocery store, intending to kill, dress and cook it for Sunday dinner. She took the hen home, where it promptly laid an egg. Mrs. Waisner was pleased, and did not kill the hen that day. Saturday Satur-day the hen laid another egg, and Mrs. Waisner decided to spare the hen's life as long as it laid eggs. It laid an egg every day for a while and then showed a disposition to set. By that .time Mrs. Waisner had grown very fond of the hen and named it Emma. So she set Emma on 15 eggs, and in due course of time the hen came off from the nest with 15 chickens. Most of the chickens were roosters, and as they grew up Mrs. Waisner ate them, and fipully ate Emma, Atchison Atchi-son Globe. |
