Union Laid Eggs.

Chicago.--.E'rash union laid eggs and
country butter bearing the union lapei
were exhibited at the meeting OF the
executive board of the Chicago FEEDER
alton OF Labor yesterday to demon
strate that the alliance between the
unions and the farmers was bearing
fruit. The board met to consider some
practical plan of getting farm products
direct to the city consumer.
There is no doubt about the desif-
ability of the PLAN" said James o.
Conner, but l doubt its practicability.
I'll show you fellows that / have
already solved the problem" said Sec
rotary e. N. Nockels, and he produced
a large box bearing the label Of the
Farmers Union. This box was ship
ped to me from farm in Kansas,
said Mr.. Nockels. 1T contains fifteen
dozen eggs and twelve pounds Of but
ter.
.'The eggs cost me 20 cents dozen
and the butter 25 cents pound. The
express charges were $1.05. The farm
err got good price and I get union
provisions cheaper than can buy
them in the city,
The butter had no more than the US
ual number of hairs in 1t, and as they
were pronounced union hairs. no OBJ
jections were raised The eggs were
declared to be considerably larger than
the average nonunion egg.

Naviqation Of Hudson Bay.

The development of the Canadian
northwest makes an increasing use OF
the Hudson bay route very probable.
There is nothing to prevent railroads
being run to the harbors on the bay.
The only doubtful question is how far
the route can be profitably employed
for trade. The navigation Of Hudson
bay itself is comparatively safe and
easy. Some of its harbors are not ice
bound even in winter. The serious
problem is the entrance to the bay thru
the Hudson strait. The experience OF
the Hudson Bay Company's navigators
with that of the whalers who frequent
these seas seems on the whole to con-
firm the opinion that no more than
three months could be counted on with
any certainty -

Mr.. Arp stuck to his prediction for
several months. Then he began to
waver and evade. By the end OF the
second year following its first utter
ance he had formed the habit OF deny
ing that he had ever made it at all and,
finally having come to believe with all
his heart that the prophecy had been
deliberately foisted upon him and put
in his mouth by Squire Buckalew. be-
came SO sore upon the subject that
even the hardest dared not refer to 1t
in his presence.
Eskew's story Of the ticket seller was
the only news of Joe Louden that came
to Canaan during seven years. Anoth-
er citizen of the town encountered the
wanderer, however, but under circum-
stances SO susceptible to misconception
that in a moment of illumination he de-
cided to let the matter rest in golden
silence. This was Mr.. Bantry, and the
cause of his silence was the fact that
his meeting with Joe occurred in the

the eminent actor left a substantial
fortune estimated at from 100000 to

shocked to learn that popular stage
favorite, who must have earned far
more than competence by his art,
has died in poverty; and benefit per-
formances for the dependents of actors
who should have died rich have been
so common as to excite little sur
prise.
Much may be conceded to the artis-
tic temperament. which finds attention
to money matters irksome: but with

dred of his fellow citizens. had been
escorted.
AS the senator reached the hotel
steps the band played Hail to the

was blocked by cheering throng
whose shouts mingled with the screams
of the fire engine whistles and clangs
of trolley car bells. Senator Borah

Literally the Truth.
T.ippincott's)


Two or three generations ago DR..
Samuel Reed was one of the prominent
physicians of Boston. His large prac-
tice included many patients outside the
city limits, and these he visited in his
buggy.
One day he bought a new horse. with
which he was much pleased until he
discovered that the animal had an In
s,Irmountabe objection to bridges of
all kinds and could not be made to
cross one.
AS. at this period. it was necessary
to cross some bridge in order to reach
any one of the surrounding towns,
the doctor decided to sell the horse.
He did not think it necessary to men
ton the animals popularity, but was
much too honest to misrepresent him,
and after some thought. produced the
following advertisement which he in
serted in local paper:
For Sale--A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Boston.
