They Came out Stone Hard.
A Scranton bachelor. who boards at one Of
tho hotels and rooms outside, got so tired Of
eating stale eggs a while ago that he thought
he woulAsee if be couldn't change the pro
gramme a little. So he bought three dozen
new laid eggs and took them to his lodgings,
and when he went 10 tea that night he carried
q couple Of the eggs in his pocket and told
the pleasant faced waiter girl TO have ten
boiled soft. They came back as hard as rocks,
and the bachelor hOarder declared that no
one in that kitchen knew enough 10 boil an
egg. The handsome - girl said she was
sorry that the cook hadLs done as she bad
ordered her to, and she volunteered TO have
two other eggs boiled soft, but the boarder
told her she needn't. The next morning he
took two more eggs over to the hotel and
gave special directions Us TO how they should

opened them, for they were as hard as base

At supper that night he took three eggs

tie same directions Result; Three eggs as

guessed it was time for him to change his

house. But be was Oh hand the next morn

he said:
"Now. | want you TO open these eggs, drop
them in hot water and poach them very soft,
and. my dear, want YOU to stand by them
and see that they are cooked right"
She said sh0 would and away she went. but
IN a minute or SO she returned looking sad,
and With the three eggs in six halves on a
dish.

soprano voice trombled, but these eggs were
already boiled as hard rs they could be when

He smelled a rat right away, and he left
tho table at once and started out to verify his
