son to believe that the balance Of the
session will be quito interesting. Sew
eral important public measures are to To
brought up, one OF the most important

tar tents is also being pushed olong with
great deal OF activity, and there is rea-
son to believe that In shtrt time the
brigade will be in very presentable
condition for either active or peace SER

since the hens 10 various parts Of the
ststs have lately walked mp TO the fact
that there are records to be made, eggs
with record attachment have teen pour
ing In from all parts OF the community.
Tbs people Of East Providence have
noticed that the hens over there were un-

be frequently found In groups anu evil
dently holding secret conferences the
natural inference was drawn that they
were LAYING some kind OF plot whereby
some one CT the party should be selected
to lay an egg with bigger record attach
ment than any yet known. IN srsby
orly could The honor and dignity OF tfw-
East Providence hen be maintained.
1hsre can now be no doubt that the con-
ferences were full Of wisdom and that the
seirctfon was happy one. for East Prov
idenos has the record egg, II there ever
was ons. IN was laid by part black
