HEN LAYS EGGS DAILY

PITTSBURGH the meat trust had
to combat the labors of few thou
sand hens like that owned by Henry
Keil at Allison park. near this city.
there is little question that the price
OF meat would be reduced in a short
time. for this hen is about the most
wonderful thing In the feather line
that ever came out of an egg. In fact,
she holds all records for hot and cold

This "Marathoner" first came into
prominence during the last summer,
when she developed the habit of lay.

sized eggs daily. The strangest part
Of 1t is thai she chose the most un-

endeavors was made when she was
found to have built a nest In a large
oak tree and to have laid six eggs in

owned phenomenal bird. Keil placed
her under surveillance and learned to
his satisfaction that she would not
lay eggs at all under usual normal
conditions. A comfortable nest was
rigged up for her and she was mated
with a handsome black Minorca zoos

at poultry shows. Miss Hen, however.
refused to lay under these conditions.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Mar. 9.-The
pitched battle between a carload of

night in which six persons. one, a

grave fears today that rioting may be
renewed. although all is quiet up to
noon.

sympathizers is beginning to sway the
crowds 10 lawful methods, but the
fact that in nearly all the riots SO far
it has been the non-combatants who
have suffered most, has inflamed the
