ANOTHER EGG STORY WHICH
WE RELATE INDREDULOUsLY

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 14.-Mr. ]. B.
Robertson vouches for the facts in
connection with an egg laid by small
speckled hen in his barnyard yester-
day. 1t had three separate eggs inside
one shell.
When he heard the hen cackling
loudly, he went out into the backyard
and found one of the largest eggs he
had ever seen. 1t weighed eight ounces
and was about four inches long.
He put the egg in his pocket and was
carrying it downtown to exhibit It
when somebody who brushed against
him accidentally broke the shell. To
his amazement, he found inside three
alost fully fored eggs, each as large
as the average hen egg.

Americas warehouses handled quite
