There Is hut one fircDrOof thcator In
the city and perhaps u practical test
would prove 1t to be ilrcproof oven.
Th"r" Is something wrong, evidently.
with the Egg" editor of the esteemed
Chicago American. The following In.
'"r"sting Item appeared IN u recent cdl.
tlon of that admirable newspaper:
EGGS TOO HIGH TO EAT.
Kansas City. Mo-, Feb. oO.--Eggs sold
IN this city at ~ cents II dozen to-day.
Their predicamcnt was discovered by
Mrs. Hess. who detected the Ulor of
gas when she went to call them for
breakfast. Their condition is not scri-
O,is.
IN some of the dOmlnlOns of Our
"Ahglo-SnNon cousins" the word "high"
ns applied To eatnbles means of vener-
abie age. SO one's first impression on
reading the headline would be that the
eggs being veterans In their way. could
not be dcrourcd without holding the
nose. In this explanation we can easily
understand the further statement that
'Mrs. Hess discovered the 0dOr of gas
when she called them for breakfast"
but we are sorcly puzzled as to lust
now Mrs. Hess "called them" Per.
