AZ New York William 81 Bloor.
manager Of the Ohio Brass oompany's
works in Mansfield, Ohio, struck q
mine of pearls in an oyster in the
Cafe Sayarin Thusgdsy. Mr.. Bloom
is staying In tho Hotel Breslin.
Thursday he went down town and
dropped into the Savarin for . bite to
eat. Mr. Bloom Thought he would
like some raw oysters. So the man
opened him half q dozen.
With four Of these oysters this
story has nothing to do, The fifth
oyster was the one that concealed
seven beautiful pearls valued at $500.
II he swallowed them whole, Mr..
Bloom would have returned TO his
nappy Ohio home ignorant forever,
perhaps, Of how much he was worth
himselfj inside. But In Mansfield
they chew their oysters. AS Mr..
Bloom bit into the fifth cyster he
felt something round between his
teeth.
They have failed to properly mani.
cure these oysters" he said, aud ejeo.
ted the gritty object from his mouth.
1t was q luscious pearl. In quick
succession he produced six more
pearls.
Il presume that when you serve
oysters on the half shell all that comes
in tho shell belongs to the guest? ' In.
quired Mr.. Bloom, Of Waiter Gustav.
Gustav admitted THAI such was the
rule.
We'll, you should have some re-
ward" said Mr.. Bloom as he picked
up n Of the pearls. II shall leave
you tho remaining OYSTER"
And he wrapped up all the pearls
and told Gustav to thank Mr.. Sayar.
In for him on account OF Mr. Sayarin's
kindness and generosity and went
