MRS. M'NALLYS HEN
HAS NOW BEEN OUTCOME

This Is not story Of n hen that has
laid several eggs a day. but It relates 10
a fact that is I'm some respects even more
remarkable. Mrs. Azada b. Munin Of
Baker street. has quite a large flock Of
hens and among them is a healthy Ply
mouth Rock that was hatched last spring
While she has not broken the record for
number OF eggs laid, she has kept the
remainder OF the flock hustling TO keep
pace with her, and Sunday morning she
seemed TO recognize the fact that she was
not gaining upon her competitors. and
so broke the record by laying two eggs
before she left tho nest. She seemed to he
exceedingly proud of the feat for she
cackled round in great glee, the greater
part OF the day.
People have often heard Of hens that
laid two eggs n day, but there was no
proof that could follow the statement.
but I'm this case there wHs PROOF tfTIt
could not be disputed, and here It Is: She
laid two eggs in one.
The outeE egg was very large, though
complete i'm every way and i'm the centre
OF this there was another which was
quite as complete. only about one half the
size OF the outer one. This smaller egg,
which was enclosed completely within the
outer she'll was encompassed by as per-
feet a shell and fully as hard as the outer
shell.
Here then were two complete eggs laid
at one time and both perfect This is un-
doubtedly the first real evidence that
proves that hen may lay two eggs In a
single day when she feels so disposed.
Any persons who are skeptical can salts
fy themselves by calling at the News
Office and Looking upon both eggs AS
they were hatched.

Frank Barr's Election Bet and How Il
 Worked Out.

From the Boston Herald.
 It was several years ago, when Nashua. N IT., was enjoying the excitement of an annual city election and, as was natural the followers of the two political faiths were considerably wrought up.
 Frank Barr. then a railroad official in Nashua. now general manager of the Boston and Maine railroad. and his broth CT John H. Barr. a prosperous Nashua hardware dealer. dropped into the Parker House, Boston. and there chanced to meet George Bowers, a Nashua clothier, now dead. The conversation drifted to politics. Frank Barr was sure the man he favored would be elected mayor, while Bowers, who was of the opposite political faith, was confident of the winning powers of his favorite.
 Bet you the best dinner in Boston my man wins" exclaimed Frank Barr.
 "I'r just go you on that" replied Bow CTS, and the two shook hands.
 Don't l ring in on that dinner?' asked John Barr.
 Both agreed that he should be one of the party, whereupon he suggested that, all parties concerned being in Boston then and in one of the best hotels and with good appetites. then was the time to have the dinner. The others thought it would be better to wait for the election to de- eide the wager. but John Barr argued that there was no time like the present. He further suggested that he would settle

From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
 They were telling stories around the table at the Automobile club in Pitts burg One who had toured Canada last year told of the man he met up in the North Woods who was driving a machine way back in the wilderness. where there were no stores. His supply of gasoline ran out while he was fifty miles from civiliza- ton and he brought the machine in on two quarts of olive oil. This went wlth the crowd but the man who sticks to the steam machipe had a better one. He was out Butler county way during the holiday week. and coming in the "plank' late It night his fuel ran short. There were no stores, and it looked like case or tying up for the night when just as the engine was giving it's last gasp thev reached a house. There was celebration going on and through the windows the automobil- jsts could see Christmas tree lighted with candles He was a man of ideas and stopped. He borrowed d handful of Christ mas-tree candles and the old steamer made steam on wax candles.

 The proposition was no sooner made than accepted by the other two, and 2 private dining room was engaged and the order for the best dinner the house af- forded was lodged with the clerk. When the bill was called for at the desk it took a little more than $20 to settle it.
