BETTER THAN GOLDEN EGGS
Figures Prove That Product of Prize
Hen Was Far Greater Than That
from Fabled Goose
Recently a hen was exhibited at
Wilkesbarre Pa and took all the
prizes as the best of her kind So im
portant did she grow In the
liuu ol me noiaers mat her owner
was offered 10000 for her but re
fused it At about this time the hen
laid an egg and that it might be evi
dent that she was a producer as well
as a show bird her owner allowed the
product of her labor to remain in the
pen with her This was a tactical
blunder for the egg was purloined
shortly and has not been seen since
Now there is a well known story to
the effect that a goose of the dim and
distant past once laid a golden egg
Taking it that the historian was sure
of his facts this goose of fame has no
such claim upon renown as has the
Wilkesbarre hen Here is a bag of
gold containing 10000 in the treas
ury at Washington which visitors are
allowed to lift to get the idea of just
how heavy that much money is It
weighs something like thirty pounds
Now if the egg of this hen with the
prospect of being hatched into a
creature as valuable as the parent is
estimated as being worth one tenth as
much as she is the stolen egg would
be worth 1000 which amount of
money would weigh three pounds or
as much as two dozen eggs So the
egg of the Pennsylvania hen is worth
24 times as much as the greatly
touted goose egg and deserves fame

Big Turtle Caught with a Light Rod
L L Betts John Miller and H J
Saxon made one of the most remark
able fishing catches yesterday ever re
corded The gentlemen went out on
the yacht La Poupee and while trolling
about Mr Betts hooked into a 150
pound loggerhead turtle
The monster put up a game fight
and for fully two hours It was nip and
tuck between turtle and man but the
man triumphed as nearly always he
does and his turtleship was hauled
aboard and brought to port The cap
ture of the turtle Is remarkable first
because they seldom take a hook and
second because Mr Betts had only a
light rod and reel and slender tackle
and was not prepared to undertake
such a killing It was skilled ma
nipulation of the reel more than any
thing else that made the capture of
the turtle possible Miami News-Record

AUDIENCE
Singers Selection of Ditty for an En
core Was Too Manifestly In
appropriate
During the present musical season
much popularity has been gained by a
little song with the odd title It Is
Not Raining Rain to Me Its Raining
Violet It is a tuneful bit of melody
and has been used for encore
poses with great success It was dur
ing a recent recital that the quaint
bit attained real distinction The af
fair took place at the Rittenhouse on
a wet blustering evening and as the
night wore on the storm Increased to
the proportions of a blizzard The
wind arose until its roar blended
weirdly with the music ana the Inter
missions were punctuated by boister
ous clatterings of hailstones against
the windows During the tenor solo
by Paul K Harper the storm reached
the height of its fury and the applause
which followed his effort was mingled
with shrill echolngs of the storm
kings wreath
As the singer arose for an encore a
perfect deluge of rain smote the win
dows and when the orchestra struck
up the tinkling prelude of the familiar
air a smile broke over the audience
went the torrent out
side
shivered the audience
It is not raining rain began the
tenor but it was too much for even
the politest of audiences and a storm
of laughter followed that even in
eluded the soloist Pittsburg Gazette

IRISH VS ITALIAN METHOD
Former Is Decidedly the More Effec

as Proof
Rev Sanford Culver Hearn pastor

church Yonkers is relating a street
car incident which concerns a conduc

had given a dime to the fare taker but
had received no change
I wanta da nick complained the
Neapolitan
Youve got your nick No more
nicks for you See And the con
ductor moved to the rear platform
The Italian sat meekly in silence
but the Irishman employed different
tactics He went to the doorway
Gimme five clnts change said he
to the conductor
Youve got all the change youre
going to get was the retort
See here exclaimed the Irishman
you may play that chune on a hand
organ but you cant do It on a harp
Gimme five clnts
And he got it Judge

Russian Wheat Production
An enormous crop of wheat has
been grown in Russia this year plac
ing that land for the first time at the
head of wheat growing countries Its
harvest of 783000000 bushels exceeds
that of the United States by 26000000
bushels and is greater than its own
previous record by about 100000000
bushels The development of wheat
growing has been most rapid along
the line of the Trans Siberian railway
As th home consumption is small in
proportion to population this has
made Russia one of the great sources
of supply for the rest of the world
France consumes much of the wheat
that it grows The present price of
wheat in the United States when
placed against the surplus product of
Russia makes it more difficult for this
country to hold its place as an ex
porter of that cereal
Unfairly Taken Up
John W Gates was discussing his
address before a Methodist confer

Ill have to be as careful as the
young Altoona viveur who was sued
for breach of promise because at
supper after the theater he asked his
lady friend if she would have a little
lobster
