THIS HEN LAYS TRIPLET EGG
Connecticut Farmer Finds Two Inside
First Product of a Young
Plymouth Rock.

Greenwich, Conn.-Frank B. Sands
of Mt. Kisco, who sells farm products
in Greenwich, came to town with an
egg story that beats anything ever
heard hereabouts.
He is the owner Of some of the fin
est Plymouth Rock hens in the coun-
try.
One of his younger brood passed out
OF the nonproducing stage few DAYS
ago and began her life work. The
first egg was wonder. Not only was
it larger than any Mr.. Sands had ever
seen, but the ends were about equal.
ly rounded. Mr. Sands decided the
egg was too large to market at the
usual price. and that he would keep 1t
for table use.
The next morning he had the young
Plymouth Rocks eggs for breakfast
Breaking the shell carefully, Mr..
Sands found another perfectly formed
egg. This second egg was broken
and third egg of the usual size was
revealed.

Oklahoma Hermit Correct in Pre-
dieting Floods.
Railway Builders Stand In Awe OF
Him Because River Wrecks
Bridge Thrice as He Said
X Would.

Muskogee, Okla.-Living in hut on
the bank of the Canadian river, near
Forum his abiding place for 80 years,
is Pierre Davis, hermit, whose jour
neyings in all that time have never
carried him outside of a six-mile
radius of his cabin, and then only for
food and skins for clothing.
Davis is six feet tall, finely built
and of commanding presence. His
great hobby, in fact his only hobby, is
/ TO foretell certain events, especially
pertaining to floods. So accurate has
he been that workmen along the Mid
land Valley railroad almost stand in
awe of the queer old man.
Three times last autumn he pre-.
dicted that floods would come and
each time deluge arrived, on the
date he named.
While workmen were completing a
new Midland Valley bridge to replace
the one washed away, the old hermit
made his first appearance. For time
he regarded the bridge workers silent
ly. Then he spoke to the foreman of
the gang.
you see little water in the river
bed now" he said, but in 80 days the
| floods will come and the bridge will be
carried away"
Having made his prophecy the old
hermit strobe away and the workmen
laughed ct him as If he were crazy
Exactly 20 days later the flood came
The following day the Canadian river
swept away the bridge.
The bridge was rebuilt, and when
the workmen had nearly completed II
the hermit again appeared. He
prophesied that November % there
would be 14-foot rise in the river
| and that the bridge would again be
washed away. The 22d of November
the bridge was again washed away.
Four days later while workmer
were rebuilding the bridge the pic
turesque figure appeared again. Sol
EMMY the old hermit prophesied that
| the following Sunday the bridge woult
again go out The prophecy proved
true.
Undaunted, the company again pu
workmen TO rebuilding the bridge
| which was completed December Is
Before the final repairs were made
Davis made another prophecy. H,
said that the first train would not b,
run over the bridge until Decembel
10, This prophecy also proved true.
| Although the bridge was completed
December Is there was a delay in get
ting the first train over, and it wal
not until the 18th that traffic was re
| sumed,
On every occasion Davis has fore
told the exact height to which tn,
river would rise. and his predictions
have been correct.

About 1000, 900 estates pay the bulk
of these taxes. This is the substance
of report by Charles M, Pepper, who
has been investigating the subject for
the bureau Of manufacturers, depart
ment of commerce and labor, in con
nection with the tariff revision.
The revenue from the death duties,
Mr.. Pepper says, is a little more than
half that from excise imposts and con.
siderably more than half the amount
realized from the income tax. The
gross capital value of the estates con.
tributing to the Inheritance tax In
1908 was over $1,000, 100000, and the
net value was a little below $1,4OO'

The kind OF wealth which contrib

The value of the personally abroad

ated since 1899 from less than 500.
OOO, 900 to above $75,OOO,OO0. In 1908
the value was but $20,000,000.
Agricultural land furnishes consid-
erably less of the total duties than
household property and business prem
ises. The net capital value of the
legacies from which duties were col
lected in 1908 was $405, 100000. while
the succession duty was realized on a
total capital valuation Of $90,000,000.
In the rates Of duties for success
sions, legacies and estates, estates OF
less than $500 are exempt. The duty
ranges from one per cent on estates
from $500 to $500 up to ten per cent
on estates of 100000 to $4,000 900
Above $5,000,000 there is a graduated
scale.
There were $500 estates contribut
ing to the inheritance taxes In 1908
while those exempt were $4,000, o.

great orange tree, standing alone In
the garden and midway between the
house and the turret, jumbles the light,
which is only the faint sheen of the
rising moon.
Slightly before this, Marina had
been sitting on the long veranda of
the Corsican farmhouse, the lighted
lamps placing some tinges of ruby in
her dark brown hair and giving color
to the light costume that enhances
her loneliness.
Quietly entering from the house,
Cipriano Danella, costumed in the old
time, romantic Corsican garb, gazes
upon the exquisite girl outlined by the
light costume.
The eagerness of his glance draws
Mrs. Anstruther's eyes to him. She
looks up and says: "Ah, Count Cipri-
ano, 1t was very noble of you. who
had feared would hate me, to rescue
me from the 'Lucchese. At your ad-
vice, have rested here, but to-mor-
row, Notwithstanding the romantic
serenade you have provided for me,
must go on to Bastia.'
"Oh, yes, to Bastia," murmurs the
count softly, and stepping nearer. says
suavely, though there is a weird sug-
gestion in his voice that somewhat dis
quets the lady: 1--WE are alone here
in my old farmhouse, only old Martha,
the cook, who, far away, will snore till
dawn, and my nephew, Count Enrico."
II haven't seen him." remarks the
girl uneasily
'Parbleu, you did once, the gentle
man with the scar upon his face, the
one who delivered the letter that
caused your nerves to jump in the
Marseilles railroad station. Even now
his name seems to have an i'll effect
upon YOU" for Marina has started up,
and the fluttering of her light skirts
shows her limbs are trembling.
Mia Madre, was he the man." she
shudders. And was it you who penned
it," Then some divination entering
her mind, she implores pathetically;
Holy Virgin, no harm has come to
Edwin? Have | not kept the cruel
pact? Have / not deserted my dear
husband? 1t was the promise of that
awful letter that no evil should come
to Edwin If left his arms"
''Ah, but you intended to return to
them, bella mia" smiles the gentle
man.
The young wife scarcely heeds the
insinuation of the subtle Italian term,
but stammers confused; why do
you think that?"
Ma fol, you were journeying to Bias
tia to meet your husband, lured there
