uncle OF John Veghoen, THE eccentric
young Arctic explorer who wandered
off, or rather deserted, the Peary ex-
petition in Greenland several years
ago, and set out to discover the North
Pole, was seen by the Wayfarsr last
evening and asked if he or any other
members OF Verhoeff's famHly had
heard any tidings from him. The re-
ply whs in the negative.
II suppose you have about given up

ROBB AND TEIE EGGS.
Frank Robb one Of the drivers in

press Company, is what General Kitch-

Two or three days Ago he went out TO
Delaware avenue station for express
matter. A crate of eggs consigned to
lcoaG dealer was entrusted to his
care. He placed it in the wagon, Sc
curely, as he Thought, and set out on the
work Of delivery His medluations were
interrupted by crash. LcoNing back
he SAW the crate of eggs lying in the
street. Nine dozen were broken and
he had to pay the consigned s225 out
Of his hard-earned salary. The Way
farer understands that even this ten
der did nCt satisfy the owner OF the
eggs, who insisted THAT he wanted the
eggs and not the money; but when he
saw the condition OF the scrambled
hen fruit hs changed his mind and
compromised ON the amount offered.
