Fiqht Over an Egg Is Brought
to an Abrupt Close in
N. Y. Court.
MYSTERY IS NOW SOLVED
AND gvGRYeoDYs HAPPY ONCE
MORE, ALTHOUGH FUR FLEW
FOR AWHILE AND ETERNAL
HATRED WAS VOWED.

New York. April 6.-Canarsie is ju-
bilant Flags are at full staff. The
Great Egg Mystery has been solved.
Its other title was: Whose Hen Laid
the Egg that Caused Twenty-Five
Fights, Broke Eighteen Friendships
and led to the Arrest OF the Heads OF
Two Eminently Respectable Famil-
les, the Gemars and the Penningers?"
To while away the time until Mrs.
Gemar aud Mrs. Penninger arrived IN
the Fiatbush court. Magistrate Nash
read the copions minutes OF the past
hearings. He went back to the day
three weeks ago when little Elsie &C.
mar found an egg on the line be-
tween the Gemar and the Penninger
lots. Elsie took the egg to her moth
er. On the way thither Dorothy Pen
ninger set up a howl that the egg be-
longed to her mother because Pen
ninger hen had laid It. The screams
OF the children brought the mothers.
Each parent championed the cause of
her daughter. Then hair flew. Neigh
bors tried to end the battle, but only
made 1t worse. The combat ended In
the Ciemars and Penningers separat-
ing, going to their respective homes,
and vowing eternal hatred.
That night William Gemar had a
visitor In his yard. He pointed out
Penninger and called him "a meddler
in the affairs of women" Penninger
leaped the fance and his fist landed
on Gemar's face.
All hands were in the Flatbush
court the next morning to have the
ownership Of the egg decided. The
problem was SO difficult that Magis
trate Nash three times postponed the
giving of a solution. Meantime he
consulted brother magistrates and all
the law books pertaining to the sub
ject. Yesterday in the crowded court
he looked up Indignantly as women's
laughter sounded just outside the
door. As Peter Dalton, court officer
started out to rebuke the merry ones
Mrs. Penninger and Mrs. Gemar en-
tered the room.
Each had an arm about the others
waist. and in that loving fashion they
approached the bench. At sight OF
the mortal enemies In that embrace
. their husbands jaws dropped In
amusement The magistrate sat as
one dazed.
Then. as the crowd stared and gasp
I'd, Mrs. Gemar kissed Mrs. Penning
err. Turning to the court she begged
him to forgive her neighbor for any
offenses against the peace Of the com
munity.
When he had recovered his voice
and composure Magistrate Nash said
"As Elsie Gemar found this egg
and the Penningers are unable t
prove It was laid by one of their hens
think It would be fowl II decided
anything else but that the egg be
longs to the finder. Therefore thu
assault of Mrs. Penninger upon Mrs
Gemar was unjustifiable, SO I am plac
ing her in 500 bonds to keep thu
peace for six months. Stop this clat
ter and all of you go home. In
through with this case"

AMERICAN INTEREST
IN LIBERIA REVIVING
Exports and Imports Figure in
Monthly Reports

Recent consular reports indicate that
American interests in Liberia are reviv-
ing. Data of our commerce with that
country have had a special place in the
monthly official returns of exports and
imports. The amounts are small, but
they are growing. Exports rose from
s49,S63 in 1908 to 1854 in 1909. I'm
ports in 1909 were nominal. AS early
as the fifteenth century Liberia was
the first country to send cotton cloths
to northern and western Europe. That
industry is reviving for home consump-
ton in a recent report.
The population amounts to 1850, 900.
No white man is allowed to hold land
or to acquire citizens rights. Slavery
is Illegal. Complete religious tolera-
ton exists. English money is current,
though accounts are kept in dollars and
cents. English weights and measures
are used.

pie speak English. The government

and other dye woods, the acacia, which
yields gum arabic, and the copal trees
are found. There are several useful
varieties of palm, especially the nut
bearing palm from which palm oil is
made. The country is rich in medicinal
plants, among them the copaiba tree,
which gives croton oil, and the castor
oil plant. Several varieties of maize
and rice of excellent quality are cul-
tivated, and good crops of wheat, bar
ley and oats have been raised. The
vegetables are almost endless in their
variety-almost every kind of garden
vegetable known in America. The
fruits are numerous and fine, including
the mango, lemon, lime, orange, guava,

pineapple, avocado pear and the Afri-
can peach. Wild animals, formerly
abundant, are now rarely seen.
The Liberians build coasting vessels
and possess ships trading with Great
Britain and the United States. A large
number of the inhabitants of the At
rican interior depend upon Liberia for
their supply OF European and American
goods. The more important articles of
export are coffee, sugar, palm oil and
palm kernels, cocoa, arrowrOOt, caout-
chouc, IVORY and kola nuts. The
yearly foreign commerce amounts to
about $4,000, 900. at least one-third of

HIGH FINANCE IN FOWL
WALL STREET DEAL

A book keeper in a Wall street Of
flee announced last fall that he had
taken a farm on Long island where he
could raise chickens. All winter he
made everybody envious with tales of
fresh laid eggs. Dozens of persons
asked him to bring in some, offering
from so to IS cents dozen.
AS long as eggs were scarce the
book keeper had none to sell. says the
New York Sun. Suddenly, when the
market dropped to 80 cents Wholesale
Mr.. Book Keeper let it be known that
he could spare a few at so cents The
first day he brought six dozen, packed
a dozen in a box. and all were quickly
taken. BY the next week he was de-
livering from 10 to 20 dozen a day.
Then one week a young woman in
the Office went to spend Sunday in
Queens. Her hostess happened to mem
ton the book keepers name. CONVEX
sation revealed that he lived in a fiat
and kept no chickens; also that for
weeks a wholesale egg dealer had been
making daily deliveries at the book
keepers house, and that every morn
ing he carried to Manhattan the eggs
that had been hauled to him the day
before.

IUMBERJACKS REVEL
IN MEAL OFF PIE
Dessert Precedes Soup and Fol-
lows Coffee in Camps

'News?" said the employment agent
doubtfully in response TO a query.
"Ain't no news, but I'll tell you a
queer thing about lumberjacks that
came to my attention recently They
are crazy about pie. Yep, pie.
1.-The main morsel on the logging
camp bill of fare is pie. While this is
not the pie belt by any means, there
is as much of that sort of pastry con-
sumed in this portion of the country
as in any part of the United States, not
excepting Indiana. Pie comes before
SOUP and after coffee both in the lum-
Der camp menu.
This taste for pie, however, is a
cultivated one on the part of the lum-
berjack. 1t is not hereditary, as is the
case in New England. The. pastry comes
in the form of an education 10 them
It's pie three times daily and for the
pie hater it means starvation, so they
learn to simply crave 1T.
PIE does not cost much when It
comes to choice between that and
beef, and 1t fills up mighty gaps with
a hurriedness. In otner words 1t cuts
down expenses. So the lumberjack likes
pie because he has to.
s'The difference between butter and
butterine is also an unknown quantity
in camp. The inc is of little conse-
auence to the jack who fathers his
bread with veneer of the golden
salve, for it matters little to him
whether the COW had any part In its
production or not He never heard of
cottonseed and albeit 1T costs the com
pany less."-Duluth News-Tribune.
