The Miaannri Hen.

The Missouri hen promises to be-
come as famous as the Missouri mule
Already the value of the surplus pro-
ducts of the Missouri hen amount
annually to more than $2,000,000 more

dozen eggs were shipped out of the
State, while thousands of dozens found
their way to the breakfast tables of
Missourians. The annual production
of eggs Of some of Missouris counties
is as follows Greene 3.S16.S60 dozen;

The usual way of getting rid of the
hawk is to use a good gun, trusting
it to the hands of some man that
knows how to shoot straight. An
other way is to set UP a pole not far

in every way a suitable resting place
for the hawk. If he has an eye to

Senator Hoar's Form
By William J. Hampton

A PARTY Of travellers on a sleeper
n out OF Washington were talking
about the late Senator Hoar, when
Senator McCreary OF Kentucky told this
story:
My election to the United States
Senate in 1000 was rather peculiar,
he said. Our new Constitution says
that the election of United States
Senators shall take place on the second
Tuesday after the meeting and organi-
zation of the legislature, and our lePis-
lature meets on the first Tuesday in
January. When | was elected on the
Tuesday following the meeting Of the
legislature the question arose as to
whether or not it was the second Tues
day. To make my calling and cleo
ton sure | asked the legislature to
elect me again on the succeeding
Tuesday, the third Tuesday of the
month.
Il had all these facts set forth in
my certificate OF election, and it was
quite a voluminous paper, as senatorial
certificates go. In this form it went
before the Senate Judiciary Committee,
of which Senator Hoar was chairman.
Senator Hoar was a particular person,
and he insisted that everything be regu-
lar. In line with this he had drawn a
form OF certificate himself which was
generally accepted by Senators.
When my lengthy certificate was
presented and all nv explanations were
being read Senator Hoar began to frown :
and shake his head in doubt and
disapproval.
How is this: How is this?' holding
up a warning hand. The committee
must inquire into the matter
Some one suggested that the chair
man wait until the certificate had been
fully heard, and the chairman asscntcd,
though with disappearing shakes Of
the head. At least he disapproved until
the last clause was reached.
This was the chairman's own form
word for word. and as he heard it the
doubt and disapproval vanished. his
kindly old face beamed with satisfaC-
ton, and he accepted my certificate in
all its details without a word"

sword struck against the sword of
Lieutenant Wilton.
For the space of a minute their swords
clicked and struck fire; and Their Iona
than's blade leaped forward, and into
the eyes OF Lieutenant Wilton there
shot a sudden look of mortal fear. and
he reelcd backward, the blood flowing
from a cut in his breast. At that moment
a loud whistle from without told iona
than that he had held the window
long enough to give his comrades the
needed time to get Mistress Betty
without the danger-zone of the house:
and he turned and sprang through
the window. and vanished into the
rain and blackness of the night.
1t seemed as if the heavens sought
to aid the lovers; for the rain now be-
gan to fall in torrents; and when they
sprang into the stout boat and pushed
out into the waters of the Charles River
the darkness was so intense that. al
though they could hear the shouts of
their purSuerS on the banks not ten
yards away, yet they were as effectually
concealed from their eyes as if a stone
wall lay between them, while the sounds
of the falling rain and the roar of the
wind drowned the noise made by their
mutiled oars.
After a perilous hour on the river
Jonathan Delvin and Mistress Betty
reached the American camp in safety.
where they were married at once amid
great reioicings. General Washington
himself gave the bride away, and made
her the happiest little woman in all
America by placing in her hands a

he had rendered the cause Of liberty

ADJUSTMENTS
. THE KILTiES" MARCH,

THE kilties' march, a tune peculiar
to this famous band, and considered
their own property as much as is their
distinct uniform, has a swing and an
inyigorating tunefulness to 1t that
seems to almost carry the marching
men. The music has been set to the
words of Scotland's poet-Robert
Burns The first stanza of the song,
even in words, gives an idea of the
rythm and swing that is in the music.
The first stanza runs:
The bonniest lad that ever saw,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie;
Wore plaid and was fu Draw,
Bonnie laddie. Highland laddie;
On his head bonnet blue,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie;
His loyal heart was firm and true,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie.''
The Kilties' band is a touring Or
ganization composed of the best must
clans of Canada, men who are ac-
knowledged artists on their respective
Instruments, and although they play
swinging marches and other lively
music which always seems to please
the popular taste. they are equally at
home in their perfect rendition OF the
classical and their program usually
contains many of these masterpieces
from the realms of music. At the
matinee and night.

LIBEL SUIT TRIAL AT OLYMPIA
Former County Commissioner Sues
Ex-Prosecuting Attorney.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-The superior
court of Thurston county is occupied
with libel suit, the principals in which
are two prominent citizens of the city,
John Byrne, formerly county commits
sioner and George H. Funk, ex-prose-

The suit was inaugurated by Mr..
Byrne, who is a democrat, against Nh.
Funk. who is a republican, as result
of political controversies arising in the
campaign OF 1902. Byrne demanding
$4,000 for an alleged libelous statement
that appeared in the Daily Olymplan
of this city over Mr. Funk's signature
Both principals TO the suit We're at
that time in county offices. Mr.. Byrne
as a member of the board of county
commissioners. was one of the parties
to an agreement entered into between
the commissioners and the Northern
Pacific Railway company whereby an
amount considerably less IMAM Ine totdl
taxes due from the company for pre-
vious years was accepted by the cOun-
~ and litigation regarding the assess
ment was dismissed Nj. Funk. as
prosecuting attorney declined TO act
in the matter or represent the county
in the preparation of the necessary pa
perS in the compromise.
The controversy aroused an issue
which was fought out between Mr..
Byrne and Mr. Funk in communtca-
tons TO the press of the city. In one
statement Mr.. Funk promised to prove
that Mr.. Byrne was a 'poltroon and
liar or forfeit 500 if certain facts
could not be subStantiated. This state
ment is the ground for the libel suit
which is now being fought out in the
courts.
Mr.. Funk's defense is justification in
the charge made in his statement.
