A Missouri woman who Is so very
pious that she win do no work on the
Sabbath day, was very much annoyed
by the fact that her hens would not a,
conscientiously refrain from all labor
on Sunday, but persisted in laying egg
i in disregard Of the Biblical injunction
to rest OF the Sabbath day. She wa
undecided whether she ought to dispos,

or not, when the brilliant idea strucl
her Of giving all the eggs laid on Sun

$ the church Is the proceeds Of thes'
eggs.
