As this column has had th e honor of bavinp' thrust upon them the task of caring for incidents of an unusual character that occur within the terri tory allotted me, I will try to do jus tice to a hen that distinguished her- selLa few days ago. The distinguish ing happened in this wise: The lav ing of an egg that, although havi-ig been laid by a hen. and in this man ner winning the distinction of being called a hen-egg. was i n appearance more of a bird-egg than anything else. It was very small; in fact, about as small as I have ever seen a bird-egg, much less a hen-egg. The distinguish ed hen is the property of a Gaffney lady, and so. if there be a hall of Lime for hens, this Gaffney hen is eligible for entrance, and to Gaffney be the praise. The one narrating the story to mo was very much struck with the incident, so consented to allow me to •ask any questions that were answer- able. The only question in doubt was, Was th- hen old enough to know bet- er? The kind person just referred to ! s now making investigation in that lirection, and will doubtless be able to enlighten the public in thp near fu ture. 0 —o—o- - o c—c- i —o—o—o—o —O Solomon in His Glory. 0 —o—o <i—o—o—o—o—o—o —O I saw a shining example a few days ago which brought clearly to my mind i suspicion that has lain hidden and humant for same time, viz., that the a\erage negro of this day and timp is the happiest creature known. Who ever saw one worried? Was one ever known to have the “blues,” which harr ss and torment the whites of the times? So far as I can discover, no one ever had this unusual experience. However, the glimpse I caught of the personage who is to nrove the star character in this squib, convinced me that the n< -ro can never mourn. This really great personage, for truly no other word < n fittingly describe him, consisted of a very small bundle of nigger” and a ' smaller bundle of wearing appar V which served to or nament the person of the boy, for such we suppose he was. When he first burst on our gaze he was standing sedately and unconcerned upon the very top of a pile of rocks. At a glance t could be seen by one not interested that he w’as in trouble. A closer glance readily convinced me that he reached the Pinnacle of his ambitions by at taining the crest of the miniature mountain, and like others in this old world had grown tired of the honor and yet was unable to throw the glory and honor away, and resume his plain and untarnished being again. The first, glance showed me that if) was an In reresting situation. There perched the boy on the rocks, striving valiantly, though vainly, to appear unconcerned and ler it appear to the world that he was enjoying his seat of honor. That he had attained it by the earnest ef- Ride a Bicycle Because- 1. “'Ibe Bicycle has never been and can never be replaced.
