HIS COSTLY MEAL OF EGGS.
What He Ate Would Have BroH4kt
Him 5000 an. Hour Later.


six hundred dollars worth of eggs
would seem to be a'rather heavy break
fast for one man to eat" observed a we'll
known scientist, "but + can certify that a
man ate that amount of eggs and that
he told me after he'd got away with them
that they had not fully satisfied his hun
ger. Ten minutes after he had finished
his meal he complained thatthe eggs did
not seem to sit well in his stomach. 1t
happened in this way: g
Several years ago l was out in the
Rocky mountains, in Colorado, hunting
eggs for the Smithsonian institution. l
was instructed to devote special attention
to pheasant eggs and to one variety in
particular, the yellow pheasant, popu-
larry called, which was then, as now,
very scarce. The trip was, on the whole,
rather successful though did not find
many of the particular pheasant eggs re-
ferred to. One morning ! found myself
on one Of the high mountains which sur
round the city of Georgetown. i had
had my own breakfast in town and rode
up the mountain ON a burro, carrying on
my search for pheasant eggs
About ~ O'Clock | ran across a mine
prospector, who was just finishing up his
breakfast. After spending some time in
conversation with him l noticed some
pieces Of eggshell on the ground To my
surprise and delight they were the shells
of the pheasant eggs that l was so anx-
ious to find. Not supposing that he was
interested in my branch Of science, l
mentioned in a casual way that the shells
were OF the egg of a certain species of
yellow pheasant that | was exceedingly
anxious to 6pd or secure. Then he told
me that in his wandering up on the noun
tain that morning he had found a nest
containing the eggs, and finding that they
were fresh he had eaten them, six in all.
Then 1t was my turn to talk, and when
| had told him that the eggs were very
rare and that l would willingly pay 800
apiece for them he looked Disguised and
actually turned pale. He had been having
rather hard run of luck and felt very
sorry, of course, that he had unaware
partaken of such high priced breakfast.
He thought he might be able to find an
other nest whereabouts and offered to
furnish me six eggs of the same species
for a sum considerably less than 5000,
which offer i accepted. We hunted to-
gether all that day and every day for q
week, but to no purpose. Three months
later l made a similar find myself, but at
u place 800 miles distant from there.
The eggs ! found are in the Smithsonian
yet and, as | know, are about the only
eggs Of that particular species in any col
lection in this country.
"A year ago | got a letter from the
prospector. He is still in Colorado, but
says he has never been able to eat an
egg of any kind since" Washington

IN An OLD BookSrALL

Here for q song you may command
Old books. well thumbed and hosRyS
Along the grimy walls they stand.
Tones Of Immortal story.
And out OF reach, on loftief Shelves
Beyond our small ambitions
And slender purse, dwell by themselves
The costlier first editions"
There let them rest till Cresus comes;
We really do not need them
Content to banquet on the crumbs,
We buy our books-and read themt
The one that bears the marks Of uss.
Back broken, worn and shattered,
L. dearer that Its leaves are loose,
Its poor frame rent and tattered.
This grim old keeper Of the stall
Tends these dead things In leather
And sheep and cloth and parchment-al
Close sepulchered together,
And few, alas besides ourselves
Who prowl about the portals
Seek cut along the dusty shelves
The names of these immortalA
Here where the city's life goes by,
Where wheel and wagon rumble,
Wrapped in their cerements they lie,
The lofty and the humble.
Dust unto dust-but from their sleep
Come bright, immortal flashes;
Their spirits into being leap
From out their crumbling asheA
They are not dead, these silent TONES;
They die not, save in seeming;
Far IRON these bookish catacombs
They FL the world with dreaming,
And each that some small message gives
Or makes for high endeavor
Puts of mortality, but lives
And works its will foreveri

No Universal Biography,

Goethe said that there could be no pa
triotic art or science. But he would have
made an exception in favor of biography.
The average mans good sense will show
the advantages that are to be gained by
each country working at its own biogra-
ply. Other things being equal. an Eng
lishman is best qualified to write the life
of an Englishman, Russian that of a
Russian, and SO forth.
We shall thus be spared such quaint
freaks of learning as are to be found in
the pages of the useful Geographic Uni
verselle. which expects US, for instance,
to recognize the ever memorable Mr.. John
Hales under the disguise of Jean Ales,
who wrote a tract on schism, and tells
us how Theodore Hook dined without an
invitation at the house of a gentleman
who possessed the Enthusiastically
English name and description of 'le cor
rect ct ponctuel Noll Dick Jack Smith"

CHECKS
IN THE FULLETZ MATTER HAND
ED TO THE MAN WHO WAS
DEFRAUDED IN DEAL.
Owner Of the Stage Line Will Be Able
to Realize Sixteen Dollars From
the Sixty He Gave When He Cash
ed the Raised Check-Both Checks
Endorsed by the Convict.

Mr.. Pease, the proprietor of the
stage line between this city n Wal
den, Colo, who was defrauded on the
forged check presented by Arthur
Fulletz. was handed the two checks
today, properly endorsed by Fulletz.
and will be able to collect the Sc check
given by Mr.. HARRISON and the $40 check
given by Mr.. Johnson. These checks
were raised by Fulletz, one to $50 and
the other to $50. The SIG realized by
Mr.. Pease will be all that he gets back
for the $50 he paid for the Karlson
check.
The parties who signed the checks,
it is understood. are willing to pay the
amounts for which the checks were
honestly drawn. The Johnson check
was held by the First National bank
until today, when it was delivered over
to Mr.. Pease. The other he paid for
and it was in the possession of Sheriff
Cook and County Attorney Downey
and would have been used as evidence
to convince young Fulletz that he was
guilty had he not said so of his own
sweet will.
Mr.. Pease said this morning that he
would have insisted upon the prose
cution of Fulletz on the Johnson check
had he not pleaded guilty in the other
case, but now he will not press this
matter, believing that three years in
the ~penitentiary will meet all the ends
of justice.
Fulletz was taken to the peniten-
tiary this afternoon at 2:3O o'clock.
He says he is up against the
real thing and is sorry for what he has
done, and will try to make the lesson
one he will remember.

! Hotel Gossip

Postmaster George w. Irwin. who has
been over at Helena for several days
viewing the democratic circus, returned
nome last evening. Helena, he says, was
too slow for him.
1T is not the same old town. said Mr.
IRWIN land all the old timers are dis
gusted and wander through the back
doors of saloons and have bit drink by
themselves. The streets are deserted at
night and some of the boys say that the
days of open transoms are over.
The people Of Helena, however, are
feeling hopeful and believe that things
will loosen up before the senatorial fight
is ended. There seems to be painful
lack of the greenbacks that made Helena
so lively two years ago. but there are
hopes still that the senatorial situation
will develop the usual democratic argu-
ment in the shape of wads of bills. ana
II is this hope that is keeping Helena
men from collapsing entirely
