Austin Rollins of Platteville found a
freak egg Monday in his chicken yard
while looking the nests over. When he
reached one nest which was occupied
by large white Orpington hen, she
flew from her coop, and here Mr.. Rol-
Inns found an enormous egg, encased
not in hard shell, but in the mem
brane, or rather two membranes, which
were soft but rather firm. He picked
1t up and on breaking it, found it to
contain three distinct eggs three yolks
and three whites, the contents filling a
good sized coffee cup. The egg was
about 10 inches long as it lay in the
nest. The hen that laid this egg,
weighs about u pounds. She has been
laying right along, nice, large, white
eggs, with a perfectly formed shell.

Concert of Classic and Melodic splendor


The Hughes Sisters. (three). the
! Misses Florence, Rhoda and Ruby,
daughters of our esteemed citizens, Mr..
and Mrs. Il. J. Hughes, gave what may
be properly termed their first concert
as a company in the lecture room of
the P NJ. church on Tuesday evening
of this week.
The weather was decidedly inclement
but that made little difference. Our
people were confident of there being
something extra good in store, and as a
consequence the assemblage was large.
No one was disappointed. 1t proved to
be a concert of classic and melodic
splendor.
The program was of a high order
each number Of which was superbly
rendered, and the appreciation Of the
audience was at fever heat throughout,
to which the young ladies responded
cheerfully and with pleasing effect.
Thentiment Of all lovers Of good
music present was to congratulate the
young ladies for the discriminate selec-
tons in the makeup of the fine pro-
gram, the mastery and effective man
ner of the rendition of each number, all
of which showed close study and much
persevering industry.
The Sisters" were most fortunate
in securing to assist them Miss Nellie
Hermon of the Milwaukee Conserva-
tory of Music, who at once captivated
the audience by her easy manipulation
of the piano, showing her to be an
accomplished pianist and expert ac-
companist.
OF the Hughes Sisters Mineral Point
is justly proud. To find three sisters
of equal vocal talent would be no easy
task They will always find a hearty
reception in this their home city

Watch Out Beware the TompIsins Law

While the people of Wisconsin are
busily engaged in trying to earn sufii-
Gent money to keep going and pay
their taxes, the Legislature at Madison
is passing new laws, and Governor Nc
Govern is signing some of them, and
there is no shadow of a danger that
Judge Burnell Of Oshkosh or any other
student Of statutes will be able to com
plain of a dearth Of fresh reading mat
ter when the volume Of Laws of Wis
consin for 1913 is issued from the press.
The new laws relate to a multiplicity
Of subjects and concern citizens in all
the walks Of life. How many Of those
who may be conversationally gifted are
aware Of the contents Of the Tompkins
bill, which Governor McGoyern has
signed, and which becomes a law with
in thirty days of its publication This
enactment provides a penalty Of fine or
Imprisonment for gossiping Under its
term, any one who. in the presence or
hearing Of another, other than the per-
son slandered, whether he be present
or not, shall maiiciously speak of or
concerning any person in such a manner
as shall impair his or her reputation
/ for virtue or chastity, or expose him o.
her to hatred, contempt, or ridicule
shall be deemed guilty and be punished
by a fine Of not more than five hundred
dollars or Imprisonment for term no
exceeding one year.
The effect Of this addition TO tn,
statutes no doubt will be to make NOR
work for lawyers. Elk
