but II described class OF patriots OF

When patriotism clamors for sub

When patriotism is OF the Colonel

BILLIONS or STORED EGGS.
Tie Result OF an Attempt by Packers
to Corner the Market.

one OF the most peculiar situations
in regard to the egg supply ever
known exists in the United States TO-
DAY. The situation is the result OF
storing eggs in an attempt to control
the market There are liable 10 be
TWO results. one is that the people ot
the country will have cold-storage eggs
foisted upon them as the newly laid
product The other is that the people
who attempted to corner the market
Will suffer heavy losses
The beginning of the cornering Ell
fort dates back TO last summer. At
that time, it is said the Chicago pack
ers evolved the scheme of buying up
all the eggs that could possibly be
gathered together and storing them
until the supply became scarce. As is
usual in schemes, it was anticipated
that the scarcity would send the price
sky high Then the stored eggs were
to be unloaded on the market and a
fortune was to be made for the pack
ers. 1t is figured that 1000 600 cases.
each case containing SO dozen eggs.
were stored away, To the industrious
hen, whose capacity is one egg day,
this is an exceedingly large amount.
The scheme to control the market
fell through There was no call for
the stored eggs and the packers began
to lie awake o. nights thinking. At
present the hens are beginning to lay
fresh eggs These are coming into
the market and no one wants the
stored eggs.
A little figuring will show how enor-
nous the loss will be. There are T.
900, 900 cases of eggs, or 210,000,0O0
dozen, stored throughout the country.
These were bought up at Is cents a
dozen. The present price of eggs a doz-
en- outside Of Cleveland is onanaverage
four cents less dozen than the price
at which the stored eggs were bought.
This will mean a loss of about $S,40O,
200 to the packers. 1t ia conjectured
hat there are 6 900 cases of the stored
ggs In this city The loss here will
lso be very large.
It is reported that the packers in
his vicinity have a way out of the di-
lsmma. It is said that next summer,
tie eggs will be mixed with fresh
Cnes and that in that way the old
r.oduct will be sold to the unsuspcct-
ing public Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MICE AS HUMORlSTS.


Few people understand the mystery
OF mice | think / can, without i'm
uiodesty, claim TO understand mice,
for | have made them study for
many years In order 10 understand
mice you must grasp the fact that a
mouse is an animal with keen sense
Of humor and love of excitement.
With this key in your possession you
can readily unlock the mystery of
mice.
That the mouse has a sense of humor
is conspicuously shown by the way i'll
which he will rattle a newspaper in
your bedroom at night. rhe mouse
does not eat newspapers neither does
he put them to any domestic use.
He merely makes a noise with them,
knowing that of all sounds the mid
night rustic of a newspaper is the one
which will most successfully Danish
sleep from your eyes If a mouse finds
an eligible newspaper in your bedroom
he will settle himself down to night
of fun aud jollity. He will rattle that
newspaper till morning, and the only
effect of throwing boots at him or Of
getting up and Lighting the gas and
searching for him with a poker will be
hat he win hide himself till you lie
Gown to sleep, and then resume his
little newspaper game. If this does
not SHOW sense OF humor it would
be difficult to say what il does show.
Then there is the well-known fact
that no sooner does a mouse trap or
cat enter a house than it is followed by
a troop of mice, Cats and traps draw
mice as the pole draws the magnet
The mouse loves the game Of teasing
the cat by stimulating the latter's
hopes of capturing mice II is consid-
cred the height of fun among mice to
scutte across a room in the presence
of cat ready to pounce. OF course
row and then too reckless mouse
pays the penalty of rashness by being
caught by the cat, but accidents Of this
kind are more rare among mice than
football accidents among men, and in
ne way render mice shy of the game.
II you once understand the nature OF
mace you need have no trouble with
them Danish from your house every
cat, trap and newspaper, and not a
mosse will show himself Fill your
house with newspapers, traps and cats
and mice will flock to it from miles
away No mouse will go to a house
where no amusement is offered to him.
This lesson ! have learned, as said,
by years OF study, and it has been
confirmed by the testimony Of several
