Did you ever hear Of who was victim OF
the oyster habit! The writer was in an uptown CATO
the other evening when gray haired, fuchested big
framed man came in and ordered Blue Point oysters
lie ate dozen, ordered another dozen, then thru
Dozen hesated in doubt paid his check and went
out Three dozen oysters right down made ones eyes

oysters do not appeal to the tlse OF New-forkers.
CLANS are summer relatives Of oysters, and an
old fisherman the coast OF MaiIe Is recalled. Not
that he himself is clam, the boys would say. He's
too bright for that. But he digs clans and lie has
the most wonderful OF regulating the market prices
known to man. Sometimes lie practically gives them
away Sometimes the cost is appalling that there
should, in all justice, be Ceopstras pearl in every
clam. 1t doesn't do any good TO protest II you want
the clans you have to pay what the tyrant asks for
them. II you don't you get clans. His business
code is this II make living. II costs me so
much day to live. If only one man buys clans In
day he's got to put up my living course If more

A young German in City Hall Park ran into a nest
