The
Laboring Man
Talks

Going my way? Yes, Pm a
little late. Stopped to buy some
Sealshipt oysters for supper.
What are they?" Why, moth
ing but just the finest oysters
you ever tasted in your life.
"Too dear for a workingman?"
That's where you are dead
wrong. They are the only oys-
ters a poor man CAN afford to
buy. When you buy Sealshipt
oysters you get solid meats, and
you are not paying for dirty ice
water. My wife says that a pint
of Sealshipt will go as far as a
quart of any other oysters.
And as for the lhavor-you
come down some Sunday night
and my wife will give you an
oyster stew that will make you
think you never tasted an oyster
before.

MIR. Jerome Evidently Was Aware OF
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife of Judge
Blank, Of Pacific avenue, lost her COOK,
and since she had no other resource
she rolled up her sleeves and for d
week provided such meals as the judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
DAYS when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way of appreciative acknowl-
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acuuaintances of the Blanks ana
spirit of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was In
this mood that Mrs. jerome reclted
the story to her husband. What do

Bristol's New Docks.

Bristol, England, is rejoicing over
the completion of perhaps the finest
dock and port facilities in the world
1t is hoped that the new equipment
will make her the English port of the
fast mail service between England and
America. She has unrivalled natural
advantages in this respect. The test
of this service is the quickest time
between New York and the general
postoffice in London, and as Bristol
Is only two hours by rail from London
and is several hours nearer to New
York by sea than Liverpool, she has
superior claims to the selection. Ply
mouth is no nearer New York and the
rail journey from Plymouth to Lon
don is between four and five hours.
The new dock is S75 feet long and 100
feet broad and will easily accommo-
date 4 much larger boat than the two
new leviathians, Lusitania and Mau
retania. The wharfage is on proper
tionate scale, and this historic port
with record of more than a thousand
years, expects great boom.
