the largest hens egg ever seen in
this section. 1t was laid by Black
Minorca and measures 6 5-8 inches
the short way and 1-2 inches the
long way, and weighs 1-2 ounces.
While this breed Of chickens lay a
larger egg than the ordinary size
this egg is almost twice the aver
age. A week or more ago Mr.. Rob-
ins collected a dozen of the hen fruit
and weighed them and found that
they weighed 33 ounces or 10 oun-

to be established below Black Hawk.
This will be in the old stone build
ing owned by the Pewabic company.
Repairs on the structure Will be
commenced during the next week.

WHAT OTHERS
HAVE TO SAY

An exchange observes that a boy
can sit on a sled six inches square
tied to a sled moving nine miles an
hour, but can't sit on a sofa five
minutes for dollar. A man can sit
on an inch board and talk politics
for three hours. but put him into a
comfortable church pew for 40 min
utes and he gets nervous. twists and
goes to sleep. A man can pouch his
cheeks with tobacco and the juice
running down his chin feels good ;
but a hair in the butter simply
knocks him out completely.
A young Chicago drummer was
taking vacation with his uncle in
the country and was called upon to
ask the blessing and not being ac-
customed to it he promptly tackled
the difficulty in the following words:
1--WE acknowledge the receipt Of your
favor of this date. Allow us to ex-
tend our gratitude for this expression
Of good will. Trusting that our house
may merit your confidence and have
many orders from you this fall, we
are yours truly, amen" The old maj
will say grace hereafter.
In every country town there Is a
sign at the railroad crossing like this
Look out for the cars. Now every
body knew that it was a railroad
crossing the day the line was laid
and finished. When the sign was
put up it took two days for every in
habitant to become familiar with it.
In a week every small child could
read it backward. Did the railroad
take 1t down? No, If they had they
would have forgotten In a week and
smashups and damage suits would
have resulted. One time advertise
ments act the same way. You must
keep everlastingly at 1t. like the rail.
road crossing sign.

THE PENALTY OF KIDNAPPING

While the whole nation rejoices
that the little boy who was stolen
from school In a Pennsylvania town,
has been returned in safety to his
overjoyed father and mother we can
not lose sight Of the fact that the
payment Of tho ransom which brought
abous this result so happy for the
family Immediately concern,A, means
Increased danger for other litt's boys
and girls whose parents are in posi-
ton to secure immunity for their
children by the payment OF money to
abductors.
In other words the payment Of q
ransom in this case puts q big prem
FUN on further abductions OF children.
1t will now be necessary for the
whole country to DO on the watch
TO- Offenders OF this kind. and In
every case where person is seen
Turing away a child under stress or
under suspicious circumstances. a
prompt and thorough investigA:isa
should be made. This will DO annoy
Ing at times, but It It ons way in
which the rapid spread Of this terrible
ard inhuman crime can be prevented
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
authorities will now make an effor,
to catch the abductors that will APP
proach IN comprehensive news and
thoroughness tho endeavor on two
continents to apprehenA the Grimm
ais implicated IN the assassination OF
Petrosinc, the italian detective. II
the men and women implicated IN the
abduct:ng plot can be discovered and
punished as they deserve. We shall
have less cases like that Of the un.
fortunate Charlie Ross and Willie

second class are not disturbed at all

worth over u cents. 20 a duty Of three
cents on wool valued at 10 cents or less
and II valued at more than 10 cents per
pound and not more than Is cents per
pound three cents per pound, and in
addition thereto one-half OF one cent per
pound for each cent per pound OF addi-
tional value exceeding 10 cents; 10 valued
at more than l6 cents, seven cents per
pound
The tariff on woods used In clothing.

and II is needless 20 say that now that
the uncertainty as to what the commit
tee might do has been removed. the wool
situation should gain IN strength. for It
Is not conceivable that the senators from
the wool growing States. who are In the
majority. Will consent to any reduction
from the figures reported by the House.

Another feature IA that the duties on

CARNEGIE's THREE-LEGGED STOOL

Mr. Andrew Carnegie never spoke more
wisely than when he said that ability,
labor, and capitol We're the three legs OF
a stool If one falls all fall. One cannot
succeed without the others. Capital has
always recognized its dependence upon
adequate and efficient labor and during
these hard times thousands OF workmen
have learned, to the sorrow OF themselves
and OF their households, that what hurts
capital lessons inevitably the demand
for labor. The principle Of mutual depend
encc is true not only of railroads, but Of
all aggreRations OF capital employing
large numbers Of men. Nothing could be
more disastrous to large corporation
than midtown produced by a strike
No enterprise that furnishes the greater
portion Of any commodity in general and
constant use could afford to allow a
strike. Not only so. but 1t has been shown
that large corporations pay higher aver
age wages than were previously paid by
small corporations or partnerships. Tho
men are also given more permanent en-
ployment, cared for when sick or disa-
bled, granted pensions as a reward for
long and faithful service. and are per-
mitted by many corporations to purchase
shares in the company al most favorable
rates.
Now this may be explained on n purely
selfish basis. Large corporations. whose
responsibilities are world wide are more
dependent upon their employees than
small concerns with lesser obligations,
They desire not only the "good-wll' OF
the public, but they must have. IL they
are to secure best results. the good
will of their employees The small con-

A SMALLER HOUSE.

Ono OF the most valuable contribu-
tions TO the discussion OF the project Of
q reduction in tho size OF tho Legisla-
turs was the communication contrib
uted to our columns by the Hon. Elihu
B Taft. who showed what the actual
representation Of the different counties
In the House would be with a House
Of $50 members and with one Of ll5
members. The Northfcld News took
exceptions TO some OF Mr.. Taft. state
ments. and Mr.. Taft wrote the follow
Ing letter to the Mortified News IN
reply:
In your article of March end, issue
speaking of my recent article in the
Burlington Free Press on reduced rep
resentation in the membership Of the
House in our State Legislature, you
seem to think the most serious objec-
tion Is that ut will be impossible to
convince the smaller towns to vote
away their representation. The voters
in the small towns. you say. would
hardly care to trust the larger towns
to look after their interests and this
In general way they would be oblig-
ed to do. A narrow minded man
might think As you suggest. but n
broad minded man never.
