SOME EGG STORIES, THESE
One Man Has a Hes That Lays Two
Eggs Every Day.
The approach of Easter bring forth
many egg Rtorles and an unusual crop
has hatched out In the vicinity of
Tarrytown, N. Y. The wonderful rec

1.036 eg&s in February, winning a bet
for their owners, has been surpassed.
The hens have kept up the good
work and at 6 p. m. Friday Mr.
Johnson said they had laid 1,226 eggs.
When the record of these hens was
published last month, Mr. Johnson
received as ninny as 200 letters a day
from all parts of the country, as far
West as Seattle, asking what he fed
his chickens to produce such results.
He had to hire a stenographer to an
swer oil the Inquiries.
Dr. N. H. Freeland came forward
with a story that he owned 14 hens
that produced 19 eggs a day and Ald
erman Irving DcRevere said he owned
an Andaluslan hen which lull two
eggs a day, one at 5 In the morning
end one at 6 In the evening. He
added, however, that tho hens had
formed some sort of a unltn and had
to cut out tl e overtime work. The
outlook for the egg trust is dark.

Both House and Senate Speaker

He Ascended to His Seat Uncle
Joe Cannon Congratulates the New
Presiding O'ficer Amid Cheers and
Applause From Both Sides of the
House Similar Scenes Enacted In
Upper House.
Washington, April 4. The special
session of the Sixty-second congress
convened today at noon at the Nation
al Capitol.- The lawmaking body of
the nation w.is called together princi
pally to pass on the Canadian reci
procity bill, the pet measure of Presi
dent Taft, which he will again submit
to congress in the hope that It will be
enacted into law.
Large Crowd Present.
Long before the hour of noon ar
rived the house and senate galleries
were packed to overflowing, the public
being anxious to Bee the first session
of this congress which promises to
pass into history as the most remark
able one In a great number of years.
Many prominent Democrats were
given the privilege of the floor of the
house, among whom were William
Jennings Bryin, Governor Harmon
and other men wellknown In Demo
cratic political history.
Promptly at noon the Hon. Champ
Clark, newly-elected speaker of the
houe, brought Ms gavel down with a
resounding whack, after several minor
details had been attended to, and de
clared the special session of the 62nd
congress in session.
Many new faces appeared on the
Moor of the house and many old ones
were still there ready to start to work.
Uncle Jo'e Cannon was the most noted
man on the house floor belonging to
the minority. Just before Speaker
Clark ascended to his seat he was
heartily congratulated by the ex-speaker,
who wished him all the success In
the world.
Speaker Clark reelved an ovation
when he reached his seat and bowed
and smiled his acknowledgments.
The president's message to con
gress on the Canadian agreement will

morrow and will be very brief.
Similar scenes were enacted In
the senate after that body had been
called to order and the new senators
sworn In. Vice President Sherman
presided and when he gazed over the
body of lawmakers he surely missed
some faces which have long upheld
the doctrines of the Republican party
and whose seats are now occupied by
Democrats,

vania districts.

4 there were only 50 today. The ranks
of the minority were Increased from

Colorado is filled. There was one
death recently the late Senator
Hughes of Colorado.
