IN Didn't Know.

A highly accomplished young lady who
knows all about Greek and Latin and Is
well advanced in one of the universities OF
the state created a sensation last evening
at the home of a Stockton friend whom
she is visiting. She ran into the house
breathless with excitement and eXclalIneo:
Dear me, what do you think has hap
pened?"
WHAT" exclaimed all hands, sprlnglng
up in alarm. r.,
.'There's a hen out here has got ten little
chickens"
'Well?' inQuiringly.
The young lady hesitated, evidently non
plused over the fact that her statement
had created no surprise, and then asked
obviously:
Isn't it rather unusual for a hen 10
have so many"
Why, no" said the lady of the house.
I've had hens with as high as 10 chicks.
Good g%raCious,'' exclaimed the unlversl-
ty miss, Il thought they only had one child
at a time."-Stockton Mail.

looked like a piece OF grass land after a
stampede Of cattle. He recognized US and
smiled in a milk and sugary way, but we
toe him up behind us and asked no ques-
tons.
When we reached home, we placed Mr..
Haskell in our bedroom and called the
doctor. There were no broken bones, but
it was evident that seven or eight different
men had tried to break him in two and
stuff the pieces under his Office door. Aft
er the doctor left we began to feed him,
and the rest Of the day was gone before he
was filled up. We then allowed him to
sleep for 80 hours without a break, and
when he awOkc we had a suit Of clothes
waiting for him. There were times when
we wanted to ask Mr.. Haskell how the
soothing racket worked when those crit
tiers got up stairs and when he was going
to issue No. 2 of The Herald, but some
thing always prompted us to refrain.
There were also times when Mr.. Has
kell seemed to want to tell us something
about Pine Hill, and once or twice he
took up our poker deck and shuffed the
cards as if to hint to us that he would like
to learn the game. But we didn't ask for
explanations nor take the hint. Yester-
day we put $50 in his vest pocket and an
old unloaded revolver In his hand and took
him out on the street. When he had got
his balance, we headed him to the east
and pointed. He understood. He got. He

What Is an Egg?

Out of the egg comes the chick With its
bones, muscles, heart, lungs, nerves, brain
and other organs, all very much resem-
bling our own, and certainly all like our
own organs in composition. Now, an egg
must contain everything that is needed to
build up an animals body. Analyze the
egg and see of what it is composed. Sup
pose we represent the white and yolk of
the egg each by the figure 100, we can
her set down its composition as nearly
as possible as follows:

Again, we see that the egg is a comb
nation of the two classes of foods, and our
second rule abOut food taking is thus
proved to be true by science, just as our
own daily experience teaches us also its
correctness. This is why milk and eggs
have always been so highly valued for
cooking purposes and for invalid feeding.
They are perfect foods in themselves and
are easy of digestion esidcs.-Family

THE NOVEMBER FORUM.


The November Forum opens with an
article on "The Political Career and
Character of David B. HILL" by an
ANONYMOUS Independent" writer who
tells for the first time with fulness OF
detail Senator Hills whole career. The
Judgment of him is that his success
rests wholly on an artificial basis, and
that II has been built up on the most
disreputable elements of political So
ciety The writer contends that Sen
ator Hills prominence in the Demo
cratic party is the worst possible aug
ury for the party-a measure, indeed
of the party's danger 1t is a notable
political essay Another political arti-
Gle "Wiliam L. Wilson as tariff re-
form Leader" by Mr.. Henry L. Mel
son. who points out Mr.. Wilson's char
acteristics and qualities and traces his
career as a leader Of the low-tarif
wing of the Democratic party from the
days of the Randall faction
In other respects the November
Forum shows its timliness. John w.
Chadwick has an impressive essay on
oliver Wendell Holmes; and Montyom-
cry Schuyler has an exceedingly in
teresting article Oh oGr greatest land
scape painter, George Inness: the Man
and His Work'-full of personal remi-
niscence7 Gnd telling incidentally tho
whole story of the growth Of American
art.
There are in the November Forum
four notable articles emhodying the
results of special investigation into i'm
portant and opportune topics. One is
2. remarkably clear and compact argu-
ment by ex-senator George E. Ed
munds, perhaps our foremost consti-
tutional authority. on Should United
States Senator's be Elected by the Peo-
ple?" to show that in spite Of the
,.resent outcry the method adopted by
the fathers is better than any method
that has been proposed. Ex-senator
lzdmunds shows how large proportion
.ot men VINO have been members OF the
senate have been first members of the
house-in other words, men who had
shown that they were really the pop
ular choice.
A few months ago the Rev. William
Bayard Hale an Episcopal clergyman
Of Middleboro, Mass, pointed out in
The Forum the somewhat startling re-
ligious conditions of this old New Eng
land town. In the November Forum
Mr.. Hale makes an snalysis-the result
of original investigation for The For
unl-of the impotence Of the Churches
in Fall River, Massachusetts,. Typ
zeal Manufacturing Town." which pre-
sents a lamentable moral state, due in
a great measure to the divided forces
of the churches. This IS first-hand,
direct, and impartial revelation Of the
actual working of organized Christian
ity that is hardly less than appalling.

A SAD ENDING.
The Body of Mr. Crawford, the Minis
ter, Found Near Jewell.

A. ]. Gragg, who came in from the
Nehalem yesterday, reports the finding
of the body of the preacher named
Crawford, who lived at Jewell. Two
weeks ago Sunday ne preached at Jew
ell and took his boat for his home.
which was about a mile above that
town, and that was the last seen Of
him until yesterday morning, when his
body was found by Mr.. VIM Foster
and others who were hunting for him,
about 100 yards from his house. The
supposition is that he attempted to
get out Of his boat at the place where
his body was found, and in some man
ner was capsized. The water at the
time he was drowned was somewhat
higher than at present, as when dis
covered lie was but few inches under
the surface of the water, and standing
in an upright position. Both hands
were in death grasp about a bunch
of willows, and from indications 1t
would appear that he struggled hard
for life, the small lunches probably
giving way at each attempt made to
climb UP the bank
The remains were laid away last
evening in the cemetery at Jewell, by
friends and neighbors. The deceased
leaves brother in Canada, who has
been notified of his sad fate.
Mr.. Crawford was a man who was
we'll liked by all who knew him, having
been a resident OF the Nehalem Valley
near Jewell for the past six years. He
leaves no family.

laws are enforced, as the law is all
