"Old Glory” Chickens.

Trenton, N. J. —Rev. Nelson Brown, a Windsor preacher, awoke early the other day to find that two of his chickens had changed color. One had turned red, the other blue. A naturally white rooster made the trio of national colors complete. The clergyman, wondering whether his eyesight was out of gear, asked neighbors to look at the chickens. “You’re all right,” said the friends, “but those fowl certainly ain’t.” Closer Inspection showed that paint was responsible, and the preacher complained to the police. He thinks mischievous boys did the wofk.
