Farmers Club, composed of the most prom
inent agriculluraliss in the eastern section
of Pennsylvania, at its regular monthly
meeting held at Carversville to-day, de-

of government by which the innocent can
successfully be compelled to suffer to
shield the guilty"
The club expressed the hope that their
fellow citizens would take similar action

Ho Had No Faith in That PARTICULAR
Egg.
Here is an entirely new story about
the late Col. Ingersoll, which is quite
as good and fully as genuine as the
usual run of them, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. When Ingersoll was a
young man he went into a short-order
restaurant in Peoria and called for an
egg. "You are an agnostic, I think,
said the waiter, who was also college
student in the winter, and had just as
ISOLATED himself with the restaurant
business. your habit of thinking has
not betrayed you this time-I am" re-
piled Ingersoll. "Then you do not
have faith in the integrity of this egg?'
quoted the waiter. 81 have no faith In
Its integrity" replied Bob. II have
no faith in anything. believe only IN
what I see or in what is proved to me-
81 have faith in the egg" said the stu
dent, and he regarded the colonel with
sad eyes. my faith tells me that IL
contains a yolk." "My doubt admits
nothing of the kind" said the agnostic.
So the student broke the egg, and, 10!
it contained a chicken! But the fact Is
the agnostic took an unfair advantage
of the student He had eaten at thai
restaurant before.
