HEN TRUST FIGURES.
If it Could be Capitalized its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

1t is claimed that the av rage
production of a hen is 200 eggs per
annum, but it is safe to assume
that the actual is much below this
figure, the Wall Street Journal
says. Adopting the very conserva-
tive figure of 100 eggs per hen per
annum, we find on the above basis
Of production there are $50, 900, 900
laying hens in the United States
responsible for the production Of
5000, 600, 900 eggs.
AT the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount
to two dollars. Allowing 10 cents
for maintenance and ten cents for
depreciation, which latter would
wipe out the market value of the
hen i'll four years, irrespective OF
salvage when the period OF produc-
ton is over, the net profit per hen
per annum amounts to $3.50
This profit, according to Wall
street standards. capitalized on a
five per cent. income basis, would
place a nominal value of $50 on
each hen. For the $50, 900. 900 hens
this would amount to the enormous
total of 81, 500, 900, oCo.
That the American hen can re-
turn a yield of five per cent. per
annum on a capitalization CT ST.
100000, 900 appears nothing short
of remarkable, but such is the case
The entire outstanding capital obi
cations of the railroads of the
United States in 1907 were less
than four times this amount or
$16,oS2 I46,6S3, while the total
paid out i'll interest and dividends
represented but 4.o5 per cent. of
this amount.

it all she bravely smiled. Poor, Gen.

How long she remained liz the seat
no one can ever tell. It seemed to
her that she must have gone half
around the world, for Gladys didn't
know much about geography and
couldn't be expected to realize how
big the world is. Finally the porter
came along and picked up the box in
which Gladys lay, and when he had
opened it he smiled and murmured to
himself that he knew what to do with

A Tragedy.

This is the short, sweet. sorrowful
tale
OF Jessica jenkins Jones;
She planted a packet of seeds with
pride
While her dog looked on with his
head on the side
And thought. She's burying bones"
When Jessica left, he dug like mad
In search of the luscious bones,
So Jessica's garden it doesn't grow,
And Jessicas dog is cross. and so
Is Jessica Jenkins Jones.

Gladys and her elegant dresses
was rejoiced that she had come to
this place, and she loved the lit.le
girl Sally played with the paper doll
until she was tired out. and then she
fell asleep, clasping Gentle Gladys to
her bosom. No one will ever know
the good that Gentle Gladys did.
Through long, feverish nights and
dark, dreary days, Gladys lay at the
side of the sick child, always cheer
lily smiling and never leaving hel
presence for moment. Sally did not
forget. Her starved soul seemed tC

paper doll, and, though she grew
weaker and weaker in body, there had
been awakened in her something thai

If Gentle Gladys was unable to ar.

the life of the little one, it is not to
be wondered at. Many, many men
and women have sat at the bedside Of
loved ones, longing for the power to
stay the hand of death, and were ut.

so small. The night that Sally died
she looked at the paper image, which

EXPOSURE CURES
TYPHOID PATIENT
Hunter Mcclure Bigger Begins
to Improve Immediately
After Hospital Fire.

Id. exposure and the excitement

cold. exposure and the excitement of
fires may be used hereafter as treat
ment for typhoid fever, for a remark
able convalescence OF a typhoid fever
patient in the Virginia Hospital was
reported yesterday:
The patient is Hunter Mcguire Big
ger, who has been Ill for ten weeks
and at times in a precarious condition
on the night of the fire he was re-
moved during the excitement n ex-
posed TO the cold and the elements,
1t was feared that he would suffer
q serious relapse. and NiSilant eftoft
on the part of the physicians and
nurses was r%edoubled to ward off the
shock which was expected.
Instead OF suffering u relapse. the
patient began immediately to recover
and TO ask for solid food. All looked
on in wonder. but he was inststent
for something to eat. They fed him
and he called for more. He gets NOR
every time he asks for 1t. and he is
now convalescent. 1t is expected thai
he will be back at work in a few
days. and that he Will be able to tel
all about the fire as n cure for ty.
phoid.
1t is not suggested that such siren,
nous treatment for typhoid be taker
up generally. but 1t has been sait
that a good substitute would be tc
take a person afflicted with the fever
out to an old barn and then burn II
down. OF course. the patient would be
removed before he went with the barn
