BEAT WORLDS EGG RECORD
English Hen in Philadelphia Laid 282
In a Year, and Occupies Niche
of Fame.

Princess Didit, a White Leghorn,
belonging to Tom Barron, an English.
man who has brought poultry raising
down to an exact science, is the cham.
pion competition hen of the world,
having laid 2S2 eggs in one year.
This means that she has smashed
all previous records has added hun.
dreds Of dollars to her individual
value; has shown all poultry raisers
that, after all, it is blood, breeding
and care that tell" and has added
the finishing touch hoped for in the
North Americans second internation-
al egg laying competition which has
just closed.
Princess Didit is one of a pen Of
five White Leghorns entered in this
contest by Mr.. Barron. These hens
were received little more than a
year ago by those in charge of the
competition They quickly recovered
from the effects Of their long Journey
across the ocean and were in excel.
lent condition when the competition
opened, November l, 1912. Between
that date and the closing time-365
days, to be exact-Princess Didit laid
more eggs than any other bird ever
entered In competition, beating the
record made last year in the Mis-
souri, contest by but one egg, it is
true. but beating 1t, nevertheless.
The four other birds in the Barron
pen supported Princess Didit nobly,
the total yield, including that of the
record-breaker, being 1,19O eggs, an
average of 23S. This pen thus be-
comes probably the most valuable in
existence. Princess Didit along be.
ing worth much more money than the
average ponltryman can afford to
give.
One of Princess Didit's sisters was
not far to the rear of the champion
producing 262 eggs in the S65 days
and stands third in the competition.
Another laid 230, still another 21O and
the lowest philadelphia North
American.

Cites a Queer Precedent

Mr.. Justice Holmes has the reputa.
ton of citing more peculiar cases from
the old lawbooks than any other mem.
Der of the Supreme court. He dug IN
an additional one Saturday to the
amusement of his associates, when il
was contended in a libel suit that the
declaration was insufficient because
the ofense was not stated properly.
That leads me to recall a case in
the old books" said the Justice
where an indictment set forth that
the accused struck man on the head
splitting the skull until portion fell
down on either shoulder, and the court
held the indictment defective because
1t did not allege that the man was
killed"
The justice observed that It was a
hair-splitting decision. and he didn't
intend it as pun, either.-New York
Times.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
LAPSE Of MEMORY
By CARL FURN.

Luella Marston looked at Howard in
a dazed sort Of manner. She could
not quite -tand what he was .ay.
ing; and she did not dare to under.
stand.
Ranger never liked me. Olo
Bransforth took his side had to
support him !" The sentence were
meaningless to her
Patiently Howard, taking both her
hands in his, repeated the story. He,
had held a position in Bransforth's
company for six years, until Ranger
was made head of his department.
Ranger was an empty-headed man
with the sole idea of being good dis
ciplinarian. He had harassed the Of.
flee force until their work fell off In
character and quality. And Howard
had been made the scapegoat, because
Howard was the most efficient man
Bransforth had sent for both Of
them, and Ranger had stated positive
ly that it was impossible for them to
continue to work together. He es-
teemed Howard personally, but It
was the old story OF an ignorant super
intendent and an able subordinate. At
last Bransflrth had turned to Howard.
I'm sorry, NJ. Gray" he said. But
OF course you understand | must ap.
prove of Mr.. Rangers course"
"Then I'll send you in my resigna.
ton, sir" said Howard
Dransforth certainly treated him
very fairly lie gave aim two months
salary and cordial letter expressing
his keen regrets at their separation.
Only, positions such as Howard had
filled, in chemical house which spe
cialized on one or two articles of pro-
duction, were almost impossible to Sc
cure. And Howard and Luella were
to have been married that May.
Never mind, dear. You will get a
better position than BEFORE" Luella
said consolingly
Her fiance kissed her, but he knew
the awful difficulty of the task before
him. t. had been getting forty dol
lars week, and the position had
seemed so permanent that he had
lived fairly well instead of trying to
save money, lie had only three hun.
dred in the bank, for their first sup.
ply Of furniture. And this was melt
ing during the hot, dull summer
months, when nothing could be OBJ
tanned, with fearful rapiaity.
July passed ard August was half |
way through, and the three hundred |
dollars was now reduced to half that !
Luella was always comfort |

A moment afterward TAFT came up

| A moment afterward TAFT came up
To him.
Were mighty glad to see you back
again, Baldwin" he said. "Mr. brans-
forth said you were to go into LIB
private office the moment you came
/ in"
Howard looked up at TAFT, and sud
denly the absurdity of his presence
there struck home to him. he was
appalled,. He could only stare stupid
ly at TAFT. He did not know what 10
say.
TAFT, mistaking his embarrassment
for shyness, took him playfully by the
arm and led him across the room TO
the glass door of Mr.. Bransforths Of
fee. He ushered him inside and dis
appeared. Mr. Bransforth looked up
and, rising from his chair, gripped the
young man warmly by the hand.
Il can't tell you how glad am that
letter found you" he said Il hope
you can come back to us, Mr.. Baldwin.
1t will be serious disappointment to
me if you can't, and something OF a
loss to the firm. To think that after
trying to locate you all this time the
name of your old address should sud
denly have come into my head!
First of all, he continued, Il must
apologize frankly to you for my treat
ment of you. The fact is, Ranger
came to US with the best Of creden-
t1als from his old place. | took the
trouble to look them up after he left,
and found that he had written them
himself and signed the name to them,
too.
We'll, 1t didn't take long after your
disappearance for me to find out that
he was absolutely incapable for the
work. He was simply bluff, Mr..
Baldwin, and | imagine that he want
ed to get rid of you because he knew
that you saw through him. Dear me,
how blind | was, Well, | want you
to take his position The salary is
seventy-five dollars week. | hope |
can count on you You would have to
start in tomorrow, if you could possi-
bly, manage it, for the whole depart.
ment is simply in confusion"
II can come" said Howard quietly,
"on September the fifteenth"
Mr.. Bransforth looked disappointed.
We'll" he said, "of course, if that
is your ultimatum | must hold the po-
sition open for you But if it is the
matter of a holiday, perhaps a little
later would do"
mo, SIR" said Howard "You see,
l-er-well, I'm going to be married
tomorrow"
And that was the best prophecy that
Howard ever made.

ing; but she would weep secretly after
Howard was gone. The ceaseless
tramp. tramp through the hot streets,
with the constant rejection every
where, wore on the young fellows
nerves. He hardly dared to see Luella
now.
They might have been married hap
PLY three months before. Howard
was becoming desperate. Even Sep
tember bore with it no certainty of a
position.
He had always avoided those parts
of the city contiguous to Bransforth's.
The thought of passing down the
same streets throug' which he had
walked in happier S was intoler-
able. But there came day when he
found himself in that eighborhood.
And then-pcrhaps it was the heat,
which had benn intense that week, or
the result of the nervous exhaustion
brought about by his spondency-
but a curious lapse of memory over
came him.
Luella called it fate afterwards.
The events Of tie past three months
slipped from his mind completely.
Once again he was q salaried employe
of Bransf2rth and Company, and he
held his head high, as BELTS man
who is gcin, to be married very soon,
and made his way toward the office.
The spell WIS ~till upon him as he
climbed the long hight OF steps up to
the main o.ico lie walked in. Ev-
erything was ,no same as usual. He
made his way 70 his own department,
at the far end OF the room, sat down
at his empty desk, nodded familiarly
to his friends, and looked round for
his mail.
The Office was half empty. If Ran
ger had been there Howard might
have remembered. But Rangers desk
was closed and the top of it was thick
with dust.
"Any mali for me today. Rogers?"
he asked the office boy.
II don't think so, Mr.. Baldwin" the
lad answered Gee, I'm glad to see
you back, though"
