DO HENS "SET"

Be Awarded First Premium
TT HERE will be a flearth of broilers
I next Spring-for every self-respecting'
- nen in Portland has goneon a strike
until the controversy about the word
which expresses her action of covering
and keepfcig warm her eggs while they
are being hatched, is settled. .Old lady
Wyandotte Is much disturbed over the
agitation about the matter, and declares
that the good old-fashioned word "set"
has served her season In and season out
since she was a pullet, and defies any
"sitting" hen to show a better record in
broods than she has done setting. Young
Mrs. Plymouth Rock, ever catering to the
latest fashion, whether It be In the "sit"
of one's feathers or the "sat" of one's
eggs, has discarded one of the warmest
and cleanest of nests in CMr. Ladd's up-to-date
poultry-house, and refuses to dis
cuss the matter with her associates until
the grammarians of Multnomah County
have decided which is the correct ex
pression. The Leghorn ramily declare themselves
out of it saying that their talents have
always run to laying eggs, so they leave
-the hatching to poultry which does not
lead such a nomadic existence, but while
many of the Cochins have laid" their regu
lar "sitting" of eggs, not one of them
will step on the nest until this all Im
portant question Is settled.
An Oregon City correspondent says a
gentleman of the cloth had called her
down hard for saying -"setting hen," and
sh breathlessly awaits a decision of the
question "is it correct to say a hen "sets
or a hen 'sits'?" so that she can either
set or sit on the minister. Many of the
prominent educators of Portland were
consulted on this all-Important question
yesterday, and from what they say the in
dications are that the Oregon-Cltyite will
have to acknowledge that the minister
was right and that the hen sits.
City Superintendent of Schools -Rlgler la
of the opinion that the word "set," as
used In regard to this action of ,the hen is
an abreviatlon of the verb settle, and that
the fact that.Bhe spreads herself over
I the eggs has caused this expression to .be
come universal.
"But according to N many grammars
which we have used in the public schools,
either expression may be used with cor
rectness, yet the fact that the verb "setv
Is a transitive one and therefore must
have an object would make ' "sit" the
proper word to use
- "A hen 'Is set 'hut she herself 'alts.'.
That is really the correct solution of it
but we all say 'sets just as we sag the
were awarded to Miss Hayes and Mr.
Cockrell. Dancing was followed by the

sun sets, or any liquid would set mean
ing that it settles down."
"A sitting hen, by all means," answered
Principal J. R. Wilson, of the Portland
Academy, when this question was put to
him. "The sun sets, but a hon does
not She 'sits.' You see the verb set Is
transitive and for that reason we should
say the hen sits.
"Yes. I think myself that it sounds more
natural to speak of a setting hen es
pecially when one uses the old saying
mad as a setting hen.' We are apt to be
ungrammatlcal when angry, but you
know there are times when ungrammat
lcal sentences are very expressive, and
I think the case of the 'setting hen' is a
good example. To -be as mad as a sitting
hen would hardly carry the force with it
the other expression does."
Arthur C. Newill, principal of the
Bishop Scott Academy, was very emphatic
In his opinion about this action of the
hen.
"A hen 'Is set but a hen 'does sit?
"The Standard Dictionary does not al
low the expression 'a setting hen.' One
can set a hen. or set eggs under a hen or
a hen Is set but the hen sits. '
"The sun?-Oh, that is a different propo
sition. Of course the sun sets, but we
can't compare the two acts."
"What about a setter dog does It set?"
But Professor Newill declined to glye his
opinion on these points if a whole menag
erie was tb be discussed.

WASTE AT THE HOTELS.
Quantities of Food That Guests Or
der, but Do Not Eat.
New YorkSun
"Waste In my business said" a sea
side hotel keeper, "is nothing less than
appalling.
"My house took in last season some
thing under 5310,000, and we made a profit
of between 528,000 and 530.000.-" My super
intendent' estimated the value of the food
wasted at nearly 520,000.
"In other words, the food wasted by
my guests would have Increased my
profits more 'than 60 per cent. This
means a wasto arising from the habit 1
that hotel guests have of ordering- things
they do not wish and( sending them away
untasted.
"The loss from the- -waste of fruit alone
at the average large hotel is enough to run
the enUre table ofa good sized house. A
hotel manager who was struggling to
"hrtnir a. mlsmanflfred hmisp to n. navlm-
basis discovered that his waiters were
serving every evening at dinner to every
table a, large dish of assorted, fruits, worth
probably 25 cents.
- "It often happened that the dish was"
left untouched that only a small part
of It was eaten, but.llttle or none of It
came back to the steward". Some of It
was carried off by the guests, the re-1
mainder by the Servants. v
IThe manager then ordered that fruit
should be served at dinner to jonly such
guests as ordered It. At once the guests
were In a state of outrage, and it re

HIS P00TBALL SPEECH.
Th Star Halfback's Notable Address
to Victorious Swamp Angels.
Puck.
It had been a day of triumph In Smith
City. The victorious Swamp Angel eleven
had humbled their rivals to the dust, but
it appeared that Tackleton, the star half
back of the Swamp Angelsr had been
briused considerably. They were sitting
on a pile of boxes back of a grocery nurs
ing their bruises and trying to take com
fort in their victory when he arose, stuck
his hands in his breeches pockets and ad
dressed them thusly:
"You call me the boss slugger of the
outfit, and'you are right, for I have made
at least two-thirds of the touchdowns In
the last six years and have bucked every
kind of a line that the marshes and hills
of Arkansas could furnish and have never
yet been carried qut of a game. If there
be any man here who thinks I am blow
ing off lethlmcome out of the crowd and
tell me about It. It there be three in all
your company who think I can't make
five yards through them, let them come
on.
"And yet I was not always thus. My
ancestors came from old "New England
and settled among the cane reeds and per
simmon groves of YelL County. My early
lifo ran as qlilet a3 the brooks by which I
made mud pies and when at noon I gath
ered the goats beneath the shade, thero
was a neighbor youth who Joined me In
a game of marbles. "We led our flocks
around the -same pastures and fought together-over
sundry pieces of cornbread
and bacon.
'One evening after the goats were gath
ered In and we were all seated beneath
the big persimmon tree- south of the cabin
my grandfather, an old man, was telling
of Yale and Princeton, and how In ancient
times In old England, two fellows, Tqm
Brown and Old Brook, had defeated a
whole school. I did not then know what
football was, but my heart throbbed and
I tried to make the low tackle on the old
gentleman. My mother grabbed me by the
scalp lock and dragged me off to bed,"
telling me not "to addle my brain with
football.
"Tho next day our homo. team, had a
game. I saw my big brother kicked,
bruised, beaten and trampled upon. I saw
a No. 10 shoe, having long healthy spikes,
strike my Uncle John. ,
