CONVERTING THE OLD MAN
Cogcnt Reason Advanced That Had
the Effect of Bringing Paw" to
the Penitent Bench.

They say that once~down In a Ken
lucky county, which shall be anony-
nous, one Of the young rough-necks
was converted at a revival held in the
little building which served double
purpose as schoolhonse and church.
He had been wild lad. but his con-
version was sincere, and by the force
OF his example or possibly of his hard

his following to Join, too,
His father had never been to church.
and said, further. that he never In
tended to go. His son, however. fol-
lowing his change Of front, greatly
desired that his sire should join him
IN that stand He got the preacher,
who was conducting the services. to
90 and wrestle with the old fellow.
The two adjured him to attend church.
He was finally persuaded to do so.
and once there the son and the evan
gelist directed their efforts to getting
him on the mourners' bench. The old
man wavered. but finally stood firm.
He reckoned 1t was powerful good, but
he kinder believed he'd let things be
as they were.
Look, here, paw" said the recent
proseiyte, you come on in, I'm in.
and I can tell you it's so d. good you
ought to take little of it Just for
luck"

SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN
" 1t Gould &c Capitalized Its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

1t is claimed that the average pro-
I-duction of a hen is 200 eggs per an
mum, but it is safe to assume that the
actual is much below this figure, the
Wall Street Journal says. Adopting
the very conservative figure of 100
eggs per hen per annum. we find on
the above basis of production there
are f50000,000 laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro
duction Of 1S,000,000,000 eggs.
AT the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for
maintenance and ten cents for de-
probation, which latter would wipe
out the market yalue of the hen in
four years, irrespective OF salvage
when the period Of production is over.
the net profit per hen per annum
amounts to $3.50.
This profit, according to Wall street
standards, capitalized on a five Ger
cent. income basis, would place
nominal value Of $50 on each hen. For
the l50,100,000 hens this would amount
to the enormous total of $4,000, 000, 600.
That the American hen can return
yield OF five per cent per annum on
capitalization Of $4,000, 1000, 900 ap.
pears nothing short OF remarkable,
but such Is the case. The entire ont
standing capital obligations Of the rail-
roads Of the United States in 1907
were less than four times this amount

sented but 4.o5 per cent. OF this

CITY MAY GET

That Amount

II is probable that City Council will

of the old Rodney street reservoir at

night. Plans have been drawn divid-
ing the plot Of land into building lots.
Of which there are sixty-four They
will face on Rodney and Clayton streets
on a driveway running north and south
through the middle of the block The
plans show green in this division, on
either side of which is a sixtcen-fooi
driveway.
The corner lots will have a frontage
of about 25 feet and the remaining
lots about p feet and all will have
a depth of 100 feet
It is admitted that ground is valu-
able In that section of the city and the
location is ideal as "A residential section.
II is thought that the ground if sold
i'm building lots would net the city at
least 100000. Tho money is needed
at this time and il is thought that one
of the means adopted to improve the
financial condition Of the city will be
to sell this land.

the ground should be turned into a park
but as the Cool Spring Park is nearby
this suggestion did not receive much
