Post Dispteh.
The guests at the Laclede who took
their breakfast late this morning must
have noticed that there was a little
hitch in the unusal smooth running of
the cuisine department, and perhaps
noticed a tastier, spicier flavor to their
fries. There was immient danger OK
the stock of china being sadly dimin.
ished, and of blood pudding and
fricassed darkey being added to the
bill of fare. One of the dsrkey wal
tiers took an order to the cook in which
scrambled eggs we're included, and
when he called for it the scrambled
eggs were missing. He called the
cooks attention to the deficiency, and
that official whose temper had doubt
less been brought to ignition point by
the combined efforts of a boiling
thermometer and a red-hot range,
told him to 90 where both are seasonal
bic all the year round. The waiter
demonstrated with the cook and told
him that he dared not face the guest
without the eggs, but the irascible
frying pan professor dismissed his plea
with annopprobious epithet, that. no
cHllud gemman would take without
protest. Then the war began and the
torrid atmosphere of the kitchen was
black with batter cakes, steaks, bis
cults, cups, saucers, pans and dishes
hurled with dire intent by the COM
batants. Finally, the cook grasped a
butcher knife and made for the waiter
but before he could show his skill at
carving, the darkey picked up a heavy
iron spoon and caught the cook a rap
on the head which downed him. The
presence of Mr.. Sperry on the scene
put stop to further hostilities. The
cook wears his head in a sling, and
the darkey wears a smile of triumph.
He got the eggs.

At this point the ostrich tipped me

that he was going TO makes speech
which would be a feather in his cap,
but as did not hear of him up to the
time of my departure, l suppose he
gave it up. However, ostriches do
not wear feathers on their caps.
A row interrupted the proceedings
