HEN LOSING GRIP
ON THE 8.HOUR DAY

A neat trick is now being played
en- the hen in many parts Of Mime
sofa. Pou]trymen here and there
have entered the highly specialized
class, in that they are stimulating egg
production, when eggs are worth the
most, by Illuminating poultry houses
and thus lengthening the working day
of the flock. Possibly the hen might
call it a mean trick, if her viewpoint
could be determined; but as she is
given more time in which to eat and
exercise-diversions in which she de-
lights-no particular sympathy is be-
ing wasted upon her.
N. f.. Chapman, poultryman with
the agricultural extension division at
University farm, says that a poultry
keeper at Barnum received an av-
erage of II eggs in a given 3O-day
period from flock of 375 pullets.
He put in electric lights, turning them
on from 6 a. m. until daylight and
from shutdown until 9 p. m., and in
ne next 30 days reaped a harvest of
10 eggs to the bird. With eggs at 80
cents dozen, this poultryman GER
.ainly had something to show for his
enterprise.
Mr.. Chapman is using artificial
light with excellent results in his poul-
.ry houses near University farm. He
doubts where the average yearly
production will be materially s+ir,u-
lated, but has satisfied himself that
lighting system "aA,
eggs in the winter time when prices
are highest. The longer working day
means more eggs at the right time.

LAND ISSUE IN MEXICO

Washington, Dec: 23.-(By Capt.
tai News While it is
too soon to say what Oregon is 60
ing to accomplish for the Mexican
people, the land law which he is said
to have prepared gives evidence of
the elements of craftsmanship and will
PROBABLY 40 more than any one thing
to endear him in the hearts of his
countrymen," said Henry A. Kirk of
San Antonio.
"Obregon's law recognizes the nat.
ural right Of every man to own and
cultivate the land, which will yield
sufficient products to satisfy his own
necessities and those of his family.
This is not only basic truth, but a
sound economy. Not only the indus
trial and economic welfare Of ma.
ton is dependent upon such policy
but it's social and moral welfare as
we'll. If every Mexican is given an
opportunity to own farm, the un-

Noted Early American.

Martin Farmer was one of the first
of the federal Indian agents in Mis-
souri,. He was appointed to the place
because he had proved that he had a
very considerable influence over the
Indians, with whom he had many bat
ties when he first came to the state.
It is related Of him that he had as his
guest an Indian. who was called Two
Heart because he had killed a white
man and eaten his heart. Farmer
prepared for the Indian q great meal
Of meat and then stood over him With
a knife, compelling him to eat the
whole Of the repast, which proved
fatal, just as Farmer had intended.
After he had become a citizen Of
Texas his favorite bear dog died and
he sent so miles for a clergyman to
oficiate at the interment, the ministef
not knowing it was a dog and presum-
ing it to be a member Of the Farmer
family.-Houston Post.

OWES PEN.NAME TO PRINTER
George Russell Explains Why His
Writings Are Signed With Mys-
terious Pseudonyrn "A. e"

One Of the most interesting figures
of Irish literary and political life just
now is George Russell, perhaps better
known as ga. E."-a curiously in
triguing pseudonym. The mysterious
initials have a strange origin. A
dreamer and artist from boyhood, in
his Armagh home, he began at the age
Of seventeen or eighteen to paint a
series Of pictures of his dream world
to illustrate the history of man from
his origin in the mind of the Creator.
First, there were vague, monstrous,
forms, then figures Of men-heasts and
men-birds, and finally the divine idea,
the perfect form of man in space.
Young Russell called this series
s"The Birth. of Aeon," a "reminiscences,
probably, Of some of his gnostic read
''ings, and so impressed was he with
the idea that he resolved straightWay
to adopt the word Aeon as his
IIpseudonym. A printer, however, Of
one of Russell's earliest writings, fnd-
ing the hard writing not easy to Oh
cipher, set up only the first two let
tiers, with a question mark for the
rest. Russell, correc(ng the proof. de-
leted the question mark, leaving the
two novels standing, and thus he has
signed his writings ever since.-Mun-
sey's Magazine. .

True Happiness.

Did you ever read the Book q
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by Sol
onion, the richest, wisest and most
powerful man Of Biblical times, keep
ing in mind that it is the story Of g
mar searching for happiness? Try it.
ff YOU haven't. There was a man who
had but to raise his hand in token
Of a wish and that wish would be full
filed If it were physically possible.
He tried pleasure, labor, the attain.
ment Of knowledge, etc, only to find
them OF no avail in bringing happiness
to his heart. Then he turned to the
helping Of others and found thereby
the true happiness which had eluded
him in all other trials. It Is true to-
day as it was in Solomon's time--tfst
only real happiness is in service
your felIowmen.- Omaha News.

The morris chair, was wa deep and broad,
with mahogany frame and heavy leath-
Ter cushions. 1t was the favOrite seat
lOf two in the house Of Evans, Henri
eta, the little gray marmoset, and Mr..
Huntly Evans, her master. Standing
by the west part Of the upper bay vim
dow it overlooked the expanse Of park
and reservoir, and caught the sunset
glow nightly.
Sometimes J%acqueline, Huntly's sis
ter, used to wish she might forget the
look in their eyes as they stared out
at the park, just like prisoners who
catch a glimpse of fair fields and hills
from behind the bars. It had been that
ever since Huntly had come up
from Buenos Aires and the specialist
had told him there was little hope OF
his recovery from the mountain fever.
And, since then, each day he had Wis
IDLY grown weaker, and Henrietta had
seemed in her dumb, piteous way, to
sense the change.
She would perch on the back Of the
chair, just above his shoulder, and
watch his face with her strange brill
liant, anxious eyes, as If she under
stood his troubles, and he abstractedly
would sometimes stroke the silken fur
Of the little marmoset, as If he, too,
found comfort in.her sympathy.
Jacqueline frankly did not like her,
any more than she liked her mistress,
the gay Senorita Alvarez. They had
met her first on Huntly's trip up to
the Alvarez mines in Ecuador, and had
been lavishly entertained at her IA
theirs estate there.
"Her name is Sigma" Huntly had
told her the first night Of their visit.
81 never dreamt girls could look like
her, Jack, did you?"
"she is too exotic, like n of those
flaming mountain flowers" Jacqueline
had demurred. Don't be so suscep-
tible to just beauty, Hunt"
But he had loved Sigma and had
risked all before he had known her a
fortnight. And in return she had

thought they were mine. At home she
would take my gloves and handker-
