Macon when it pulled out of the Union
depot. The run to Juliet was made
without incident. After the train left
the station the engineer opened the
throttle to run the train faster than
usual in order to make up n few min
utes' lost time.
The engineers seat in the cab faces
the track ahead A window of glass
an eighth of an inch thick protects
him from the draughts, smoke and
cinders. He was looking through this
window when suddenly the body of
the dove burst through the pane of
glass and struck him in the face. He
was blinded for an instant, and the
pain in his eye made him realize at
once that he was seriously hurt.
The fireman on the cab with Engi-
neer Wallace saw the accident and re-
heved him of his post. The pain in
creased in Wallace's eye until it was
almost unbearable and he finally went
back into the baggage coach to get
such assistance as was possible on the
train.
The dove was killed by the sudden
contact with the cab window. Its
quivering body fell on the iron floor
OF the engine cab after striking the
engineer, and was picked up by the
fireman. So great was the momentum
of the train and the doves body that
the glass window was not smashed
by the blow of the collision. The hole
through which the bird was hurled
was clean cut like that made by bull
let fred through glass.

records for laying. Her eggs are just
about three times as large as an or
binary hens eggs, and, what is still
more wonderful, they are double.
That is, there are two eggs laid at
one time and one inside the other.
The outside egg is as large as a
turkey or goose egg, and the inner
one is of the usual size. Both have
hard shells, and both are perfect as
regards yolk and white.
Manager Fennessy first noticed the
freak some six weeks ago, when Mrs.
Fennessy, in preparing a particular
ly neat little lunch for him, went to
the hennery and selected the eggs
herself. Among a number of bright
and fresh-laid eggs with which she
returned was one extremely large one.
When broken, the double character
of 1t was discovered. Since that time
Manager Fennessy has discovered the
author of the curious thing, and has
gathered as many as three such eggs
each week, making total of some
IS or 20, and all exactly like the first
one.
The hen is one of trio of prize
winning fowls, is true to blood and
points, and IN every way seemingly
as healthy as any other hen. Mr..
Fennessy is now saving the eggs with
the intention of placing setting Of
them in one of his large incubators
and trying what they will hatch.

This was too much for the Yankee,

that something must be rotten in the

and the play proceeded. Everybody

many cards they wanted The only
one to draw was the promoter, who
called for two. The opener Clipped a

the promoter, and the hands were
shown. And this developed the ex-
traordinary feature of the game.
"The opener held q six full, the bro

there were no picture cards out. An
other responded that he had pair OF
queens and another had pair of Jacks,
but the pairs had been overlooked In
their establishment. Naturally enough
suspicion was aroused, but the deck
was examined and found to be correct.
The situation was then canvassed and
the judge rendered decision and
scooped in the pot. Realizing that the
deal was beyond ordinary possibilities,
we investigated the matter, but ar
rived at no satisfactory conclusion I'M

midnight. We told him about the
hands and he informed us that we had
been playing with a deck he had used
the night before in game of solitaire,

redistrihute the pot, but we got even
