JOHN E. REYBURN.

No more will Philadelphia be called
the City of Sweet Slumber" and other
names indicative of sleep. Within the
past few weeks it has lived down it's
reputation for inordinate and uncon-
querable inactivity, and one of the
foremost figures in the fight between
the Rapid Transit company of Phila-
delphia and it's striking employees is
Mayor John Edgar Reyburn. Mr.. Rey-
to himself during the strike because he
has proved that he can be a martinez
when necessity demands. Shortly af-
ter he was made mayor of Philadelphia
Mrs Reyburn had occasion one night
to insist on the recognition due her as
the First Lady of the City at the opera
where no box had been provided for
the mayors use. Even since then some
unkind folks have preferred to refer
to Philadelphias executive as 1.-The
husband of Mrs. Reyburn.'' They
thought he always acted and talked as
nice as he looks, but they have found
out differently since the strike began,
for Mayor Reyburn got right to work
in danger of mob violence, sWore in
special officers, called on the governor
for state troops, and did other violent
things that made the city in general
sit up and take notice. John Edgar
Reyburn was born in Carlisle, Ohio,
in 1854 He studied law, but later on
became interested in the iron and steel
business, and is now classed as one of
Pennsylvania very rich ironmasters.
AS mayor he has not been altogether
happy, perhaps. The city has been
very restless in it's sleep, but he has
done the very best that other people
thought he ought to do. And he has been
blamed for good many things that he
was blamed. He's a kind of handy
man to have about, too. Not only is
he very rich-With right hand free
for cramp-but he is always willing
to take a job. Twice in his life he has
been made a member of congress be-
cause someone died-though it must
be said for him that after he landed
he made a most acceptable represent
ative-never grouchy or i'll tempered,
and always ready to take a needy mill
lionaire home for a square meal. A
plutocrat who was willing to fetch and
carry could almost count on summer
trip on the Reyburn yacht, too, and
both at Philadelphia and Washington
people couldn't talk of his terrapin
without smacking of lips.
Mrs. Reyburn is a lady of many in
terests and wide activity, and isn't a
particle afraid to speak her mind.
The doctrine of chance is against the
mayor ever bringing anyone home for
dinner until he has first called on the
phone and given the prospective
guests pedigree, guaranteed his table
manners, and received an order to stop
at the grocery on the way.

the Nevada Consolidated company, and
the issue Of the sensational contro-
versy which has been waged over the
scheme will soon be known.
The opinion in the street among
those who have been watching the con-
test most closely is that Pames Phil
lips. jr, president of the Nevada COM
pany, and leader of the opposition
has defeated the merger plan and that
much less than half of the Nevada
stock will be exchanged for Utah
shares. In fact, there are those who
see in the movements of the Guggen-
helm forces signs that they are about
to abandon the merger project. In
this connection they point to the de-
parture of Guggenheim members of
the Nevada board as significant OF
the Guggenheim forces S. W. Eccles
is now in Mexico. Pope Yeatman
has left for Chile and Daniel Guggen-
helm sailed recently for Europe.

she is a cross between a pure bred

two breeds on our grounds at the be-
ginning of last year, and the hen shows
distinct markings of both Of these
breeds. She is one of the most clean
cut. beautiful and active hens we have
ever owned, always clean and bright,
and always going about singing or
scratching for feed as all good hens
should
It is a pity that no positive data were
kept on this hens breeding and lay
ing qualities, for she would take
prize in an egg-laying contest with
any of the heavy laying breeds, and
for beauty of marking, as grade
chicken she is unexcelled. She began
to lay early last September in nest
box in the stable and she was on the
nest from the time she began to lay
till nearly the last of December, when
the first real cold spell came, when she
ceased egg operations till the last of
January this year. But she has begun
again, and every day now an egg is
found in her nest. With her there is
no need of leg band or trap nest to
tell how many eggs she lays. for she
is so distinct an individual hen that
she can easily be told from the rest
of the hens. If one had a flock of 200
hens like this one, and they would
breed true to type and continue as
productive as this hen is, one could
make a fortune with them in few
years. She is all hen, of the kind that
pays for her feed with a profit to the
owner.
SO many inquiries are sent in re-
garding the best breeds of chickens
to keep. All of the breeds are good,
and all of them will prove satisfactory
if they are fed and handled right
Do not be afraid to combining your
laying hens during wet, snowy and
stormy weather. They will lay and do
better in clean, dry house with plenty
of straw on the floor than when al
lowed to run out in the wet and cold.
If given plenty of fresh air, exercise,
and feed in the hen house, they will
bear rather close confinement for a
week at a time, and will be none the
worse for it. This is true of the Leg
horns and other active and light breeds
as we'll as with the less active and
heavy breeds.
There has been much said and writ

have threatened to join the Irish. Now
comes an outburst of over thirty radi-
Gals, who break over the traces, abuse
the liberal leader and demand that he

and which has brought the liberal par

AS matters stand it seems clear that
Mr.. Asquith cannot go on without the
open or tacit support of his conserva-

John Redmonds recent statements
the Irish Nationalists in parliament
will assume toward the government.
1t has been the fantastic dream or
certain tories that the Irish members
would render themselves serviceable to
the opposition by voting against the
budget Quite likely the small faction
under William O'Brien's leadership
will take that course. in tine preceding
parliament the Irish natiOnalists as
body refrained from voting on the

So long as the house of lords remains
what it is local self government for
Ireland is doomed to fail, regardless OF
the house of commons action. No one
realizes that fact more clearly than Mr..
Redmond, and for that reason in the
recent elections he urged all Irish vo-
tiers outside of Ireland "tO vote united
ly against the unionist and house Of

when Mr. Asquith wavers in his policy,
John Redmond is the more justified in

are gladly turning to roller skating

assured, while the enterprise being
shown in other directions points to the
racing end of the pastime becoming
very popular.

There is a tradition that in the long

was the name of the river. In the
