Mark Hanna received many congratula
tions over his remark ,ble victory in Ohio.

lives" Speaker Reed is reported to have
said that the telegram should have read
Nevertheless, God reigns and the repub-
lican party still lives ..,......., =. j.
Here are samples of the thousands of
kilograms the successful Hanna received.

plainly forecasted is ore in which our best

boiled egg?" he solemnly inquired of some
one across the table.
"No," was the innocent answer.
'..It's hard to beat" said the joker with
much gravity.
You can't help smiling at these things,
and after the laugh died down somebody
else sprung this:
DID anybody hear about the egg in the
coffe.3"
mo, said an obliging somebody.
THAT settles it, remarked the funny
man, blandly
OF course there was another laugh, and
then brief silence. 1t locked as if the
egg jokes had been exhausted.
But presently little woman at one end
of the table inquired in a high soprano
voice if anybody present had heard the
story of the three eggs.
The guests shook their heads, and one
man SAID mo"
The little woman smiled.
