Of Nobraska's new labor commissioner
was a formal appreciation of this
pillar OF society. According TO Mr..
Maupln. this fowl brought $4,000. 900
worth Of eggs TO market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner IL UMPIRE
pared to estimate the value OF her OF.
spring in the way of fried chicken.
She laid 100000, 900 eggs in 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
10000 miles. They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to ogden. With hssr
they would furnish breakfast for 600,-
100000 people and make an omelet
containing $4,000 cubic feet. The hen
was worth moro to Nebraska than the
boasted wheat crop of t26. 600. 600; al.

$4,000. 900; 20 times as much as the
barley crop; 20 times as much as the

Pleasant Call,
Communicated.

EMF. R. s. Galloway, local editor and busi-
ness manager Of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian was in attendance upon the an.
nual meeting, Of the Abbeville District Bible
Society on Wednesday OF last week.
After the adjournment Of the meeting,
Mr.. Galloway made q call on Mr.. Wilson,
which was pleasant indeed. MIR Galloway's
Christian character n his good heart find
Its mission in the activities OF life: the &C.
tlvities that tend to the spiritual and the
temporal welfare Of mankind. Being full Of
energy and pious zeal, he however does not
yet sufficiently investigate the merits
OF all the propositions that may come from
church people or which may appeal to the
religious side Of his mind and heart.
We know that no better man than Mr..
Galloway lives. He Is 30 thoroughly honest
and conscientious that we fear that he, like
some others would In the name OF the Lord,
drive the steel far into our souls that the
Word may be preached in q very feeble way
TO Me1icans who put wax in their ears.
