A domontod man entered tho office
of Gov. Mickey Tuosday about noon
and announced himsolf us tlia'Young
Phenomenon," boldly proclaiming that
lie was going to dofoud Senator Diot
rich against his enemies. Ho said he
had pressing business in Pennsylvania
and wanted tho governor to furnish
him transportation to that state; and,
to uso his own expression, "there is a
slight gnawing in my digestivo appar
atus, indicating that I have uot dined
lately." Ho was finally jailed by the
police, aud ufter his arrest he said his
name was Clayton S. Dootor.
Tho vordlct in tho Ilowurd damn go
case ugalust tho city shows plainly
that it Is an oosyjmutter for any per
son to got a judgement against tho
city: A man may walk along tho
street, stump his too ou tho sidewalk,
go before a jury in the district court
and throw a lot of costs ou to an al
ready bankrupt city treasury. There
is no question but tho streets and
walks of Rod Cloud are In an abomin
condition, but tho taxpayers within
tho city llmlta aro already overburd
ened with taxes and and there seems
to bo no way of raising money to keep
the walks in good condition. This
means tint there will be more broken
limbs and more damage suits in which
the city will have to pay the cost?,
and it promises to result in an endless
chain of debt for the city. So long as
these costs pile up iigaiu-t tho city
theie will be no money with which to
p.ty for new walks or to furnish lights
for tho streets. Tho only foaslblo
plan is for tho individual property
owners to build walks along tholr pro
perty, trustiug to Providonco to re
compense them for tholr outlay. Thoy
would bo repaid in a moasuro by tho
increased Belling value of tholr pro
perty, but it seems to bo a hard mattor
to convince thorn of this. Something
will have to bo.dono or tho city will
soon ho so far in dobt that it will havo
to go into tho hands of a rocolvor.

The Mystery ef the Hen.
For years tho credulous public has
been rogalod with statist cs from tho
agricultural department seeming to
show that great fortunes lie in hens
and eggs.
Iugonlnus If not ingenuous exports
at figures havo demonstrated again
and again that tho humble hen, if
givon half a chanco, would soon pay
off tho national debt.
Poultry journals, largoly supported
by hon food advertising, havo been
discouraging their readers from goiug
to tho Kloudiko and firing thorn with
enthusiasm for going "Into the busi
ness of growing eggs for tho market
scientifically," with great emphasis on
tho scientific part, which gouerally
means large purchases of somebody's
preparation for making hens lay
whether they want to or not.
Glowing pictures havo boon paintod
in print of dutiful hens worklug over
time with eggs at 43 cents a dozen.
Thousands of householders havo
fully believed ovory word of It. For
several yoars thoro has boon a boom iu
henhouse building, iu the making of
incubators and iu tho sale of egg-producing
foods.
Hut, somehow or other, nobody has
gotten rich out of it except tho people
whodiiake the foods and the incuba
tors.
Tho hens havo consistently refused
to bo either hiibed or bullied into
working overtime. When tho price of
eggs has homed high the hens, with as
complete accord as ever marked any
labor union, hae declined to settle
down to laying.
It has been a mystery that hits puz
zled all hookers after scientific, co
orcion Hut at la.st the secret is out.
Tho department of animal industry of
Cornell university has been quietly
studying the hen for some time and
has found out things.
' It has been demonstrated with
mathematical accuracy that when eggs
aro dear hens will not lay. for tho
very himplo reason that because lions
do not lay tho eggs aro dour.
Tho old, unvarying law of supply
and demand is not to be circum
vented. In t!!t flocks of .r,'.!00 seloctod fowls,
which woro observed during the 17
weeks from Docombor 1, 1001, to tho
1st of March, HK)2, and for the same
period of tho following year, tho aver
age production per 100 fowls was '22.8
eggs. The average food cost was 17
cents a dozen, and 100 hens earned
dining the long 17 weeks $10 above tho
o st of keep.
Certainly there Is little chanco for
the e'g raiser to buy bonds. Sixteen
Wlritover olso may bo said of tho
average married woman, it is usually
vory true that sho earns her bread and
butter.
Town pooplo often roftiso to rldo
seven blocks on a steot car, to attend u
dance, but think of tho enthusiasm
i equired of a farmer who loves society
If you mako a mistake, and offend n
friend, don't hesltato to apologize. A
manly apology will mako you fool
better, to say nothing of tho man you
havo offended.
If the world should como to an end
in tho next fow years, as somo predlc,
thoro is somo consolttlon in the
thought that John D Rockefollor will
bo tho principal loser.
A woman will show versatility in
everything olso ou earth except In her
cooking and tho selections of a man's
Christmas presents. Tho former is al
ways stoak and potatoes, and tho hit
tor is always neckties.
When you like a man, do you in
vent dories on him? If you do, you
aro guilty of a contemptible thing.
But niuo out of tou peoplo do it. Yos
torday wo hoard a prominent church
member disctis-ing another citizen.
Tho church mombor's lutorosts hap
pened to bo opposed to tho interests of
tho other man, and, without a mo
ment's hesitation, ho accused the other
citizen of being a thief, although tho
mau is really an oxcollent citizen.
Ever occur to you how much of this
is dono? Ever occur to you how dls-
houorablo it is?
