Thaddeus Stevens Houlgate,. the

I"And then,'' said Mr. Houlgate,
"there was that ~ease of the general
store man in D)uluth. This man's
store burnt down, and, because his
stock was so heavy, the company dis
puted his claim.
"I remember one item in his stock
list--7,500 mourning hatbands.' - -
"Wilien I came to this item I
thumped it with my pencil and said
to the storekeeper severely:
" 'Look here, this is unreasonable.
Why should you have had 17,500
mourning hatbands in stock? What2
possibility -was there Vjat death
would create- in a single small shop
like yours a demand for 17,500

I"The storekeeper smiled at' me in
a /condescending way and replied:
" 'I didn't keep those hatbands
for men who grieved for the death of"
relatives or friends, but for men who
went into mourning for the grease ont
their hats.'
Eggs Boiled Without Water.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Boiling eggs without the use of
water is the latest novelty exploited
at one of Chicago's leading hotels
and, as the feat is accomplished di
reetly before the eyes of the guest,
the new way of cooking generally at
tracts attention and comment.
"Eggs, sir? All right, sir. Medium
boiled?" responds the waiter, after
listening to the order, then proceeds
to place a box-like apparatus' before
the guest and turns on a little elec
tricity from the bracket on the wall
and places the desired number of
eggs in the heater.
In about a minute and a half, or
half the time consumed by the hot
water process, the eg are cooked to
a turn.
The electric egg cooker was invent

stitute, who has been persuaded to
exploit it at the coming Chic ago elec
trie show, to be held in January at
