Augusta is quite noted for it's hens
that lay eggs of a size far above the
normal. and from time to time the di-
mensions of these outsized products are
recorded through the columns of the
press. For the last few months the
hens have been so busy, however. with
the work of raising up a family of
chickens. that the large size eggs have
been few and far between, but now
that egg laying has been resumed, it
is probable that some record eggs will
soon be produced. Thus far but one egg
has been recorded. and that came from
the pen of one of the police officials
who lives over on the east side of the
river. The egg was only considered a
starter, but it measured sAx6% inches
which is quite good beginning. and il

crease the size of her products. she

TWO ACCIDENTS.
Chris. GonnelIa Narrowly Escapes
Death-Greek Boys Foot Crushed.

Rnes hill was the scene of Il runa-
way accident. Saturday noon, that was
only prevented by a miracle from BET
ing attended by fatal consequences. A
horse attached to one of II. L. Morrillts
express wagons, ran away on Grove
street, and when opposite Stilkey's sta
BILE, on the hill, cOllided with Il team.
driven by Chris. Gonnella, with such
force that Mr.. Gonnella was thrown
out in such a way that he landed heav-
lily on his head and right SIDE on the
macadamiZed surface of the road.
An electric car was just passing, and
some of the people on the car said that
he was thrown several feet into the
air by the impact of the teams. Both
teams than ran down the hill, the Nor
rill team continuing on up Water
street and to the Maine Central sta
ton, where it stopped. uninjured. The
Gonnella horse stepped in front of the
Journal office, and the wagon was not
found to be badly damaged.
BY Il lucky circumstance, DIR. j. W.
Moore happened to be on the car. and
DR.. w. Scott Hill was just crossing the
railroad track at the foot of the hill
when the accident happened and We're
soon on the scene, and while they
placed temporary dressing on the in
jured man, call was sent for Plum
mer's ambulance.
MIR. Plummer was over on South
Chestnut street with his team at the
time. and had to go to his home on
Bridge street and change the horse
over to the ambulance. but lie arrived
on the scene i'll Il little less than 10
minutes. Mr.. Gonnclla was uncon-
scious when the physicians reached
him and was bleeding profusely from a
ragged cut over the right eye. besides
being bruised on the face and side of
his head and on the right side.
He was taken to the City hospital.
where he was attended by the house
surgeon, DR.. A. II. Sturtevant. who
found that although he had sustained
some bad cuts and bruises, no bones
We're broken, and he had suffered no
injuries from which he would not re-
cover. Mr.. Gonnella was more COM
Portable. yesterday. and was reported
to be doing nicely.

Six Sayings to Remember.

Out of large number of quota
tions selected by its readers the
Woman's Home Companion for Jam
uary prints the following as the six
most helpful notices for the New
year. They are worth remember
ing:
There is something better than
making living; making a life."
"Our success in life depends up
on our will to do"
1T is never too late to be what
you might have BEEN"
Great principles are in small
actions. If we fail in our present
circumstances to live nobly, we
need not imagine we should have
done better on grander scale. De-
velop great character in simple
duties and in inconspicuous trials. "
"To be of good cheer in case of
disappointment; exercise greater
charity toward the erring, and
make more allowance for the opin-
ions of people whose views differ
from mine; to smile more and frown
less"
ITO be honest: to be kind; to
earn little, and to spend a little
less; to make upon the whole a
family happier for his presence; to
renounce, when that shall be neces-
sary, and not be enbittered; to keep
few friends, and these without
capitulation; above all, on the same
grim condition, to keep friends
with himself-here is a task for all
that a man has of fortitude and
delicacy."

New Year to Bring Great Prosperity.
Prospects Are That Business In 1905 viii
Break All Records.

The several financial reviews in
dlcate that 1904 has been a year of
very great prosperity. The Presi
dents message, with its recon-
mendatlons as to the tariff and con-
troll of the public corporations, has
been very favorably commented up-
on by the business interests, and
no fear is expressed that extreme
opinions on either side will prevail
in Congressional enactment.
The great corn and cotton crops
have made the West and South
prosperous and comfortable, and
the labor situation in the manufact-
uring districts of the North and
East is most satisfactory. The
banking interests in all sections re-
port excellent results for the year.
The insurance business except
for the Baltimore fire, has never
been more prosperous. The Life
part of it is manifested by the early
report of the New York Life Com
pany. President Mccall states that
the New Year has produced the
largest business ever reported by
any similar company. The policy
hcldtrs are nearly one million in
number and the insurance in force
approximates two billions n
amount. The last quarter of the
year added nearly one hundred and
thlrti millions of applications tor
new Insurance in total exceeding
FIVE hundred millions for the year.
The company's policy reserve
securities inclu de government,
State, municipal and railroad bonds
to the extent of $2oo, 900, 900. No
stocks Of any kind are held as in
vestments, and no bond on the list
i'll default Of interest. The COM
pany, during the sixty years of its
existence, has paid in claims to
policy holders over four hundred
and tifty million dollars.
The enormous exports OF the fis-
cal year, 81 400, S2o, 900 and the ad-
vance orders in the steel and iron
trade all indicate that 1905 will be
record year unless labor troubles,
which are not looked for now, arise
to change the situation.

TREAT THE EDITOR RIGHT.

The Mltonian of Milton, very
truthfully says: Every man in
every town during the course of
his life time has 20 ask favor of
all editor-not an exception to this
rule. A man may escape a doctor,
keep clear of the court, but once in
his life at least, every man has to go
to the newspaper to have certain
piece put ina death notice, a
marriage notice, etc., to have GER
tain piece kept out or to have his
name printed in. or omitted from
some item. 1t is therefore to your
interest to treat the editor fairly.
He desires to be fair; he would
rather do the right than the wrong
thing. but if you give him kick,
dent of it may be found in the
top of your own hat some day and
you will never know how it got
there. Don't think you are i'm
muns; don't think that Providence
has especially favored you. Your
time will come, and when it does it
will be a fine investment if you
have friend in the EDITORS office.

Pawnee Bills Buffalo Ranch.

Pawnee Bill, the Snowman, has a
buffalo ranch south of Pawnee,
Oklahoma, and has at the present
time bunch of fat young buffalo,
which he will kill and ship to the
East for the holidays. He expects
to realize close to $50, 900 from his
sales this season. as the average
price will be $I.25 per pound. The
hides will bring him SIS to $I5o,
according to size. His ranch lies
in the heart of the buffalo range of
the 7os, where the growth of the
buffalo grass is the heaviest. He
proposes to try the experiment OF
crossing the buffalo with Galloway
cattle. If successful he expects to
have an animal of a much more
kindly disposition than the buffalo.

The Day of Strikes Nearly Over.

II firmly believe that the day of
the strike is over" said T. V.
Powderly, former head of the
Knights of Labor. Il don't mean
by that there is never to be another
strike" he continued, "but l do
mean that each year will see fewer
causes TOR strikes and that, as a
natural result the strike will be a
thing of the past as a means of
bringing employers and working
men to amicable relations.
II know of nothing so encourag-
ing as the recent conferences be-
tween capitalists and laboring men.
They have talked things over in
many controversies during the past
year or so, and with the invariable
result, that peaceful solution of the
problem in hand has come"

VALUE OF ONE VOTE.
How II May Change the Policy OF The
,Government.

An old story, said to have origi-
mated with the immortal Tom Cor
win, of Ohio. is recalled to illustrate
the value Of a single vote. A
Rhode Island farmer of 1911 on his
way to the polls. was too late to
vote because he stopped to rescue
one of his pigs which was wedged
in fence corner. He was Fedora
list and opposed to the war. A
Republican, or war man, was elect
ed to the legislature from his dis
trict by one vote. The legislature
elected by one vote war senator
whose one vote in the United States
senate in 1912 confirmed the nomi-
nation Of Jackson as major general
of the United States army. General
Jackson became the idol Of the
country, was elected president, kick
ed all the wings out of Office, with
drew all moneys from national de-
positories and kept the country in
constant hot water, all through one
Rhode Island farmer who thought
more Of his pig than his vote.

boys Of tender age, but they con-

anti-cigarette law is known as the
Zern law-the bill having been pre-
sented to the Senate by Senator J.
G. Zern, of Lehighton.
Almost all the boys take a quiet
little puff Of the cigarette ON the
side-almost all the boys own their
own cigarette paper, and as long as
the dealers are allowed to furnish
them with tobacco you can make
up your mind that they will smoke,
and some girls smoke, too, it is

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, Jan. ?, 1905
GAS l have repeatedly recon-
mendei; all the forest work of the
GovernmS Mt should be concentrated
in the Department of Agriculture"
declared the president in his last
message to Congress and in support
of the proposition he cited cogent
reasons for the concentration of this
work in single Department. In
conclusion he adds, Every admin
istrative officer concerned is con-
viuced of the necessity of the pro-
..osed consolidation of forest work
the Department Of Agriculture,
md l myself hcve urged it more
han once in former messages.
Again I commend it to the early
aud favorable consideration of the
Congress. The interests of the Ma
ton at large and of the West in
particular have suffered greatly be-
cause of the delay"
,k#a.
Behind this straightforward re-
commendation there lies a story
which is typical of Republican
partisan legislation. The President
has, over and over again, pointed
out the advantages that would
accrue from consolidating the forest
work of the Government and Con-
gress has never needed his urging.
The reason why it has not is known
but to few. 1t is that Speaker
Cannon, the all powerful dictator of
legislation i'll the House, has de-
terminedly opposed this step, has
opposed it because he feared that
the movement, although making
for better and more economical adj
ministration, would displace nine of
his political henchmen who now
enjoy "jobs" as forest rangers. Of
course there are other members of
Congress whose satellites enjoy
similar preferment but their opposi
ton would amount to naught if they
were not supported by the omni-
potent speaker. There are indica-
tions, however, that the President
has discovered the reason for Con-
gress failure to act, for he has now
placed all forest employees under
the protection OF the civil service
regulations and it remains to be
seen what card "Uncle Joe" Can
non will play next.
XXX
The Speaker has been very active
of late in circulating reports regard
ing the necessity of extreme econo
my in this sessions appropriations.
The several forms of remedial legis,
lation which the President has
pointed out as essential to the well
fare of the nation would call for no
increased appropriations, and
session in which it is desired to cur
tail legislation carrying appropria-
tions would prove ideal for the con-
sideration of such measures but the
Republicans at heart care for no
legislation which will only further
the welfare of the people and it is
safe prediction that in no single in
stance will Congress undertake to
enact such legislation as has been
recommended by President Roose-
welt, nor even to lower by a trifle
the Dingley tariff schedules.
