Another Hen Story.

Hen stories seem to be much more
plentiful than eggs, this winter, and
probably the high price paid for eggs
is inducing many people to try their
luck with 1.ens. Here is good one
| that has just leaked out. A man not
more than 200 miles from Waterville
was induced to purchase small flock
| of hens. He had ideas Of his own as TO
the best method of feeding and care to
produce the best results and was fol-
lowing them out very consistently. His
wife did not have quite SO much faith
in his theories and had heaps of sport
combating the arguments advanced
by her better half.
The hens were getting along nicely,
growing fatter every day while their
plumage shown like new bottle and
their combs we're as red as fresh ripe
straw berry. Their owner watched
them with pi ide and was sure that soon
they would be unable to keep from
laying if they wanted to. So when he
went out one morning and found an
egg he was perfectly delighted. The
next day he got two and the next three.
He began to brag like man who had
made million dollars and when one
morning he had to use his hat to bring
in the product of his pets the house
would hardly hold him. His wife was
apparently completely converted.
Things progressed splendidly for a
while and doubtless would be doing so
now if there hadn't been a bad egg in
the bunch one morning. Then it leaked
out that the wife had been secretly Put
ting store eggs in the nests. The hus-
band has forgiven her but he doesn't
trust her so implicitly as he used to.
and when he has any more pet theories
he will doubtless keep them on his side
of the house.

THE MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
Two Interesting and Profitable Meet
inss Held at Baptist Church.

The missionary conference opened in
the Baptist church, yesterday after
noon. The weather prevented a good
many from attending but very inter-
esting and profitable session was held
Rev. Adam Grosebeck of ing Kung,
China, who was to have been the prin-
cipal speaker. was unable to be present
on account of sickness and this was "a
great disappointment as a very inter-
esting address was expected from him.
He and Mrs. GrOsebeck were among
the sufferers from the Boxer outbreak
in China, and much that would be new
and authoritative was expected from
them i'm regard TO the affair.
Rev. r. g. Whittemore, pastor of the
church. presided and in his opening re-
marks spoke Of the purpose and what
it was hoped would be accomplished by
the conference. The opening prayer
was made by Rev. T.. f. Witter, who
also made an interesting address. Rev.
w. H.. Spencer of Skowhegan, spoke
next, briefly sketching what the Bap-
fist Society had done for missions. Rev.
G. ID. B. Pepper followed him along the
same lines
Rev. II. +. Huse discussed the ques-
ton or how the missionary spirit can
best he cultivated in the Sunday school
and made some valuable suggestions
The same subject was discussed by
Frank r. Philbrick from the business
| mans view. y profitable discussion
followed.
There was larger attendance at
the evening session than in the after
noon. This was opened by short de-
vOtiOnal service conducted by Rev. c.
| E. Owen. President White of Colby
presided for the remainder of the even
| ing. The speakers of the evening were
Mrs. Norman Waterbury of Boston
| and the Rev. w. +. Witer, who dis
cussed the home phase of the mission
airy question. Both of these have
spent years in Asia as missionaries and
are therefore familiar with all de-
partments of the work. Their ad-
dresses were very interesting and
much enjoyed by all those present.
Although handicapped by several
disappOints the conference has been
a success and it is believed will quick
| en- the interest in missionary work.

 Captain Hansen thinks that the country is all right. The producing mines are above Coldfoot.

Ample supplies will reach Bettles this season, and as consequence prices will be loo per cent less than last wenter.
