Sailors Hen Ate Fruit;
Lays Banana-Like Egg
At Least That Is What Captain Peterson OF
the Steamer Beacon, Says, and of Course
All Mariners Are Truthful.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Auf.. 12.-Cap-
tain Peterson, of the fruit steamer
Beacon. from Port Antonio. Jamaica,
has arrived here with a cargo Of ban
anas Of unusual size. But the big
bananas have little TO do with a story
for which the captain vouches.
Just before casting off lines at Port
Antonio. Captain Peterson was pre-
scented with a very ordinary looking ia
maica hen. He priced the fowl for the
giver's sake and took great care OF her.
He clipped her wings and she was given
the freedom of the ship.

An experiment was tried. The hen was
put on a banana diet. After a day
feeding upon bananas this ordinary
looking jamaica hen wandered into the
room Of the third engineer and soon
afterward left the place clucking cheer
fully. She had left upon a lounge an
egg the size and color Of small ripe
banana.
When asked If the hen continued lay
ing banana-shaped eggs Captain Pet
terson excused himself on the plea that
he had to look after unloading his
cargo.

LITERARY WORLD.

With the coming of Thanksgiving
Day thoughts naturally turn to the
of the occasion, which has
been so long hallowed and enshrined in
memory. The rebellious, thankless
soul win regard the day with indiffer-
ence and even bitterness. but the heart
which is without guile is filled with
tender emotions and true spirit of
thankfulness for infinite love and mer-
cies.
II is not sufficient for a brave and
hopeful spirit that his lot is so much
more pleasant than that of the poor un-
fortunate who may be poverty stricken
or afflicted physically and mentally.
He is not content with the feeling that
there are others who 2re worse off or
perhaps lower down i'm the social scale.
He has exalted ideals, and endeavors to
place his life on a plane which will
measure up to them. He spends no
time or thought on the proposition that
he is more happily situated than some
others not so fortunate-he is not even
thankful for that condition, but is ever
filled and thrilled with the desire to
go higher, higher. and become a larger
factor i'm the world of usefulness and
good. He measures life by success and
not by failure. Such soul breathes
thanks for the power which has been
given him to overcome temptations, for
the strength to push onward to the
goal, for opportunity to make such an
impress on his day and generation that
