Angry Because Their Cut Rate Tickets Were
 Garnished With scriptural Ads.
 About the queerest of all recorded grievances is one which the working men of Glasgow are discussing just now, and upon which the English pa pers are commenting with cynical ap- preciation. Glasgow owns and operates its own tramway lines, it being the pol icy of that city neither to sell nor give away public franchises. Tickets at re- duced prices are sold for cars running at certain hours whom working people are going to and from their places of employment
 Recently the purchasers of these tick cts were surprised to find, printed on the back of each, Scripture text. Mo- body objected to this until tho discovery was made that no such inscriptions had been placed OH the higher priced bits of pasteboard used by people to whom the saving of q few pennies week is not 8 matter of importance.
 Immediately there was q vigorous out cry. The distinction was invidious and the implication offensive The hosts of labor went angrily to the city fathers for an explanation They were told that "a certain pious gentleman had bought the right to spread the truth in this pe- euliar way. and that he, not the corpo- ration, was responsible for tho selection of only one class of the public on which to try the scheme, h short, the texts were advertisements, they appeared on- ly whoro payment for them had been made, and the city would be only too glad to sell the backs of all its tickets in tho same way.
 To prevent any further misunder. standing the usual "Advt. !" is now placed at the end of each text. This pro. duccs sentence that reads most queer, ly sometimes, but that is phase of the case nobody has yet thought it worth while to take up,-New York Times.

Each EgE 1t Lays Is Double &0ilEed and

 Arthur Calvin of Canal township was in Franklin last Friday with a load of dressed turkeys and chickens, and i'll the course of talk with the reporter said:
 You no doubt wonder at me bring ing in so many turkeys and chickens that all seem to be of the same size Ib is a remarkable way i'll which I raise these chickens and turkeys, and if you want to hear about it I will tell you. At the state fair i'll Meadyille last year purchased large hen that had taken first prize. I brought the fowl home, but it refused to roost with my chickens, staying with the turkeys in a tree near the barn. It did not lay any, thought, but one day my boy found the .hen's nest i'll a fence corner quite way from tho house. There were IS eggs in the nests and they were big ones. broke open one and found it contained double yolk, one being yellow and the other one brown. In breaking six eggs open l found them all the same.
 II decided to take the other 12 eggs and put them under sitting hen. did So, and in the required length of time the eggs hatched Here is where was surprised, for each egg brought forth not only chicken, but Il turkey also. The hen lays right along, and keep other ones for sittlng on the eggs Since I have had her she has laid 137 eggs, and 1 have matched ia turkeys and 113 chick ems so far. expect to bring in about 100 of each for next Thanksgiving, I do not intend sel6ng any eggs, as l want to keep the snap for myself
 'If any of your readers do not believe my story, you can tell them to come out to my house and will show them where the tree is the hen roosts on. ''-Oil City Blizzard.
