HEN RESTORES A LOST COIN

Intelligent White Leghorn, Owned by Tarrytown Man, Picks Up Nickel He Had Dropped. Tarrytown, N. Y.—John Grohan ol Glenville believes he owns the most intelligent hen in New York state. The hen, which is a white Leghorn, is a pet, and Grohan has taught it many tricks. Grohan, who is employed in Tarry* town, has to take the trolley every morning. The hen follows him to the tracks, and when he goes aboard the hen turns around and goes home. Grohan overslept once, and he was in such a hurry to catch the trolley that he forgot about the hen until he boarded the car. He heard a flopping of wings behind him, and turning, saw the hen looking up from the ground. It lighted on his shoulder, and as 11 did a coin fell to the floor. It was a nickel. In his hurry to get away Grohan had dropped the coin and the hen picked it up and ran after him.
