No Paper At Eastport.

The Eastport correspondent Of the

wakes facetious and gets off funny lit

LARGEST Hen Eco Yet.

A Wichita hen has sustained the world
wide reputation of the Kansas hen, by
laying the largest egg on record. The
egg is huge one. being fully as large
as a goose egg. 1t weighs almost half
pound and is TX inches in circumference
around the shortest way and a little over
nine inches the longest. The hen that
laid this egg belongs to Joseph Weiss
who has small fruit farm on South
Hydraulic The pen is tightly fenced, has
wire netting overhead and as Mr.. Weiss
keeps nothing but chickens there is no
doubt but that it was laid by one of his
hens. Moreover the shell plainly shows
TO anyone who knows a thing about eggs,
that it could not have been the product
of goose or turkey. but only of a hen.
Mr. Weiss, in talking about the egg, said:
''Of course, my hens do not lay eggs
of that size every day, but the hen has
plainly demonstrated what the Kansas
hen can do when she so desires"

Ina gination has a great deal to do
with the degree which a person feels the
heat or cold This has been successfully
demonstrated by Harry Gehring. One
day when old Sol was pouring one of
his hottest days down on the Wichita
pavements and the thermometer was
lowering around the 100 mark. Harry de-
cided to try an experiment In front of
his fathers store, is a large thermometer.
which on an extremely warm or cold day,
nearly every passer-by stops to take a
look at and get the Official" on the
temperature. A little piece Of ice was
slipped in behind the bulb and sudden
~ the mercury dropped down to ninety.
The clerks then gathered near the front
Of the store TO watch the result A big
man would come putting aIong the street,

as though he would never have need of
1t again, and a linen handkerchief tucked
around his neck TO protect his collar. In
his hand he carried his panama, which,
now and then he would jerk vigorously
IN an effort to fan himself When he
saw the thermometer. he stopped and
looked and looked again, then placed his
panama on his head and took another
look. Then the happy smile began to
return to his face. and he turned and
stepped lightly away, pulling on his coat
again. The clerks who saw him say the
perspira ton ceased to flow and that look
at the thermometer registering 90 degrees
made a new man of him.

An Aristocratic Doc.

There is one mongrel, lazy. iea-bitten
little cur on the West Side that gets more
attention during these long hot after
moons than half the children in town.
This precious piece of dog-hesh belongs
TO a man who is the father of several lit
tie children and it is fortunate for the
cur that it is so. The dog is fat, we'll
fed and so lazy that he would not even
wag his tail TO ward off a troublesome
fly, but the dog can hardly be blamed for
his Incidence for he has learned that he
is an auJocrat, an individual whose every
want and need is law with the whole
household. Almost every hot afternoon
when passing the domain OF this pam
pered canine, he can be spied under some
friendly shade tree with a whimpering
child bending over him slowly plying a
fan back and forth over the fat hulk Of
dog meat keeping his majesty cool and
occasionally stopping to brighten an IN
usually courageous fly or mosquito from
his silken nose. The child is not whim-
pering because the flies bother the dog.
for he would secretly delight if they
would carry the cur away bodily, but
because his father has imposed upon him
the duty of keeping that dog cool and
protecting him from the flies and fieas.
When other boys take their rods and go
fishing. he stays at home and fans the
dog; when they go swimming he stays
home and fans the dog, and when they
gather on the shady side of the barn and
peg tops he is still tanning the dog. There
are three or four of the children and

Otto Weiss claims that he owns the

pearance there is nothing uncommon nor

II can read This is the bold assertion
of its master and he proves his claim by
the following facts. He has fitted out
his draft team that he uses in delivering

name Of his flour During the afternoon
he leaves Dick tied near the Office and
when the delivery team drives up Dick
always nickers. Many other teams with
f1v covers pass along Rock Island ave-

his masters team. Mr.. Weiss thought
nothing Of this. believing that his driving
horse merely knew the other team and
not once thinking that he read the words
on the blanket. He was surprised ard
convinced of this fact one day last week.
however when the team belonging to the
Union Milling Company. which has been
fitted out with the same covers. came
along. and Dick nickered and paved the
ground wildly in an attempt TO set an
