WHEN EGGS WERE COSTLY.
Worth Their Weight in Gold in Early
Californian Days.


Hens eggs were worth their
weight in gold,'' writes Thomas E.
Parish in one of his stories of the very
early days in San Francisco. "A cou-
pie of young men recently landed
from Tennessee dropped into Aldrich's
for breakfast one morning. Not being
aware of the rarity and consequent
price of eggs in California and having
five dollars still left with which to pay
for breakfast for two, they calmly or
dered their usual breakfast of eggs
and toast. When the bill was pre-
sented the young gentlemen saw, to
their CONSERVATION, that the amount
was ten dollars. They had only five.
What was to be done?
"After consultation together it
was decided that one of them should
sremai1la while the other went out to
] TOOK foS. COT Gift, an old-time friend
whom they knew to be in the city.
The colonel was soon found, who. af-
ter hearing the story of his young
friend and asking who was with him,
inquired what they had had for break
fast. EGGS was the reply.
Eggs! Eggs!' exclaimed the colo
mel. Did you not know, you blankety-
blank fool, that hens lay gold in Cali
fornia? I did not, but I do said our
young friend. Well continued the
colonel, kindly handing over a. fifty.
dollar gold slug. take this and 70.

:Humanfty,

In tracing up the various faults
TO which mankind is heir,
The great, the small. the odds and ends
Scraped up from here and there,
No doubt you'll find some f1inty breast
Their hiding place, but then,
There's still a deal Of heavenliness
Within the worst of men.
In tracing up the virtues, all,
To which mankind is heir,
The virtues great, the virtues small,
The virtues odd and rare,
Perhaps you'll find them centered in
Some other breast, but then
There's still lot Of hellishness
Within the best of men.
Thus be reluctant to condemn
Nor anxious to cOndone;
'Tis righteous, judging lives of men
To measure first your own.
For where you see the works of God
The DEVILS, too, you'll find;
Tho one be most in evidence
The other turks behind.

MONOGRAM Dolly.

This is the season OF the year when
housewives look about for new ideas
in tray coverings, doylies, center
pieces and fancy towels; in fact, for
anySnew bit of fancy work to do. Have
yousseen the new plain linen doylies,
withHmonogram? Then there are the
poppy designs on Japanese grass
cloth, are rather easy to do, yet splen-
-didly effective.
Always beautiful is the chrysanthe-
mum center piece, which comes as a
perfect JOY to the housekeeper who
wants. to keep her table in the pink
of condition. For the living room
couch, why not do Hardanger sofa
pillow? These are so pretty, all done
in white wash linens and far ahead of
any other sort for spring and summer
use.
Pin cushion covers are an &C
ceptable gift for a hostess, especially
for her house in the country. Two or
three ideas are suggested that are
thoroughly dainty and appropriate for
the most fastidious of women. In
France these cushin tops find great
in all the converts. In this country
favor. They are beautifully done in
all the converts in this country
We surely might adopt these dainty
styles. Such a perfect beauty of a
cushion top is one embroidered on
white handkerchief linen, cut out
eart-shaped and frilled all around
with q hemstitched ruff1e. Herewith
are; shown many designs that will
work out beautifully. ,-..

AMBITION SHOULD NOT WANE
If It Does, There Is Surely Something
WronQ Somewhere.

wrong somewhere.
The idea seems to be pretty general
that ambition is born in us; that we
have little or nothing to do with its
acquisition or cultivation, and that we
cannot modify, enlarge, stimulate or
improve it to any great extent, says
Success. A study of life does not con-
firm this idea; that the ambition is
a cultivated quality, capable of being
nodded or destroyed, according as we
will, is demonstrated every day in the
lives of those about us. We see peo-
pie in whom the spark of ambition is
kindled suddenly by the reading of
a book, the hearing of lecture or the
speaking of a kindly word by a friend
Or teacher, and, on the other hand, we
see those who allow their ambition to
slowly die out for want of fuel.
The death of ambition is one of the
tragedies of life When a young man
feels his ambition begin to fade there
is trouble somewhere. Either he IS in
the wrong environment and his facul-
ties protest against what he is trying
to do, or some vicious habit is drain
ing his energy, or his health is poor,
or he is being led into dissipation by
bad companions. A youth whose am
bition begins to wane is not in a
normal condition. When he is not
stimulated by noble purpose, and
filled with desire to become strong
man, there is something wrong some
where

How Jefferson Gave q Treat to

How Jefferson Gave Treat to 4
. Shut-ln.
AT the Drexel institute one recent
afternoon a group of people recalled
very charming incident in which the
recently deceased actor, Joe Jeffer-
son, acted a kindly part a few years
ago, says the Philadelphia Record
President McAlister had introduced
Mr.. Jefferson, who had made his ad-
dress to the students, and was about
to leave, when the doctor told him
how delighted a certain art student
would be if she could. meet him. This
girl was brought every day in her roll
er chair and had been shut-in up to
that time.
The veteran actor was delighted. +
So was the girl.
He talked, and talked well, and she
listened.
In the course of the conversations
he learned that not only had she new
er seen him act, but that she never
had been to theater, and didn't think
it possible to go.
That was enough for Joe Jefferson
It was arranged in less time than it
takes to tell it to have her brought to
the stage door ten minutes before the
raising of the curtain that evening
When she was brought to that door,
around which clings so much mystery.
she was met by RIP" himself in his
quaint makeup, just as he has been
received thousands of times by ap-
plauding audiences.
Throughout the performance the
girl in her roller chair remained a
charmed listener at one side of the
stage.

MR.. JONES YIELDS a POINT

1t Is believed that the bitter fight which
has been going on between the Norfolk
county aud Portsmouth Democrats over
tho State Senatorship, as wellAns tflc,,
party matters, has been settled, and that
all factions will enter the primary On
August 22d In good faith.
There arc two men in this field for
senator from the district composed OF
the county and city. They are Messrs.
John G. Nieimyer and s. II. Montague.
The Portsmouth committee declined to
go into a primary with Norfolk county
on the Scnatorship, unless Chairman
George W. Jones would furnish the for
mer body with a copy Of It's rules govern
ing the primary In the county.
The Portsmouth committee Oh Tuesday
night adopted thu following resolutions:
Resolved. That a Committee Of four.
of which tic chairman shall be one, be
appointed by the chair to confer with
the Chairman OF the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee OF Norfolk county to
procure from him Il copy OF all rules
and regulations Which the sIid county
committee proposes to use III the prl-
mary election to be held n-sail county
on August %, 1905.
Resolved. That "a committee Of four.
including the chairman, be appointed
by the chair TO confer with Hon. y.
Taylor Ellyson State chairman. upon.
any and all matters pertaining to the
nomination OF n state senator TO repre-
sent this district.
Will Read the Pledge.
This looked as If the matter would
ralnent. but on yesterday MI jones lil-&
formed Alr. Ellyson that his committee
would not printEa pledge on the ticket
TO be voted, but would have the cleo
ton officers read the following pledge
to each person Offering to vote:
.I hereby pledge myself TO support all
the nominees of the Democratic; primary
at the next ensuing election"
Z If the person Offering to vote shall agree
TO this, he will be allowed to vote. If
not, hi will be rejected. a
Mr. Jones said his committee would
meet yesterday and adopt such leso-
luton, and 1t - supposed this action
was taken, though nothing further has
been heard on tho subject. ss
This Is said to be entirely satisfactory
TO the Portsmouth committee, and tt
looks as If the trouble has been happily
solved and that the Democrat OF the
district, without regard to factions, will
enter tho primary and nominate n can.
dIdate for Sena tor. The Portsmouth
committee objected to tho pledge being
printed on the bottom Of the ticket.
