THIS HEN LAYS
 TWO EGGS A DAY.

At this season, when owners of fowl are complaining that their hens are rendering poor service, it is interesting to know that John Stadler of 31 Denny street has a bullet that lays two eggs every day. The bird is common speckled chicken and makes less noise performing her feat than some of the other occupants of the coop that don't lay over once a week The only diff ference between the two eggs which this wonderful hen lays and others found in the nests are that the shells are very tender, but not enough to in terfere with any use eggs are put to. They stand boiling and are all right for setting. The family can give no explanation for the hens generosity. So far as they know it belongs to no special breed. as

 Business Is rushing at the postoffice to-day. Valentines poured in from all sections and the clerks have their hands full getting them out of the way. There was a large number of boxes and cards and a fair supply of comics. Many came in from out of town and several went out. so that anybody who thinks that the observ- ance of St Valentine day Is on the decline needs but call at the postomce or talk with one of the clerks or car riers to be convinced of his mistake. The trolley track near the water trough on North square was the cause of a runaway this noon. The runner of sleigh caught in the rail and al most capsiZed the outfit. The driver was thrown out and, landing on his head in the mud and slush that was pouring down North Main street at tie time, he received a slight cut When he recovered his horse was just start ing to run away, finding itself without driver. Down North Elm street it dashed, the sleigh bobbing behind like a rubber ball. Everyone on tue street tried to stop it, but it eluded all at. tempts and was out of sight when the driver jumped up beside the driver on another sleigh and dashed after his runaway steed.

My Dear Cops

You have our sympathy. We know what 1t is to get the grand bounce; we got fired ourselves once upon a tms' but we didn't take things as cool as you folks. We got red hot under the collar; in fact, we got rcd headed over the situation; but that didn't do any good. We were told to go, and go we did. and we have never been sorry either. Well. this world is filled with ups and downs, and We have pretty near all kinds of people ill it; Ill ract' 1t wouldn't be a real world if we dlon have all kinds. Now, there are two classes of people that We always lAe to talk to. The class of people who know what cup of good Tea 1s' IS one class. and the other are the peopie who never have had the opportunity of drinking OUR Tea. To the latter we say buy pound of our warranted good tasting soc Tea and get four bars of the best Laundry Soap in the mar ket with 1t Then and until then will you ever know just what 1t is to drink good Tea.
