SPEAKING OF EGGS

j. V. Vernon, a waiter at the
Union club, does not claim any
laurels for his pet hen as far as
large eggs are concerned, but he
does think she can break the rec
ord for small eggs. He brought
one to the Times office yesterday
which measured little less than
8 inches in circumference the long
way. The egg was considerably
smaller than a pigeons. The hen
lays ordinary sized ones usually,

tune. A new singer in the per-

ter You made caustic editorial reply,
were you not bound by every rule of
Journalistic courtesy to admit my re-

is precisely that of the man who strikes
and then runs away rather than stand

This matter is far too grave
to be allowed to pass unnoticed. No
greater outrage has ever been perpe-

ChiIdrens Day.

Last Sunday was Childrens Day at
the Methodist church and the exercises
at the morning hour were most fitting
for the occasion which the caption of
this al ticle bears. The children whose
names the writer does not all know,
acted their parts in a most thorough
and pleasing manner. which bespoke
the fact that no pains had been spared
by the instructor for this special fea-
ture, to make same a credit to the
children as well as to their parents.
The childrens service did not occupy
as long time as upon similar occasions
of that sort, but every part was so
faultlessly rendered that it only requir-
ed portion of the time it usua ly does
to dispatch the program which was
most attractive and highly commended
by every one present
The writer is not quite sure who
trained the children for the occasion,
but he is inclined to believe that Mrs.
B. M Currie, wife of the Methodist
pastor is very largely deserving of the
praise for the successful way in which
the program was rendered, Judging
from the interest she took in the ex-
ercises of that hour
| am, as mott people known, a close
observer of all things, which comes un.
der my notice, and / can tell at glance
almost whether a child has been pre-
pared for an occasion, and l wish to say
that | never seen progrrm rendered
with more clock like precision by child
rem than that one at the Methodist
church Sunday forenoon. Every child
seemed to know his and her part, and
it only required the warning eye of
Miss Moss, motion from Mrs. Currie,
or Miss Smith for them to understand
what was expected of them, as result of
their training for those exercises. And
as it has been well and truthfuliy said,
that children show by their training
and they certainly did very credit
ably upon that occasion. Miss Mabel
Atkins presided at the organ.
