STUCK TO HAM AND EGGS.
Why Drummer Made Breakfast Dish
His Great Standby.

IT'S funny how a man will get into
the habit of eating something that he
doesn't really like" remarked a drum
mer. Il have been travelling mostly
through small towns for the last two
months and have had to put up at
some pretty sad hotels. The result is
that | have fallen into the habit of
eating ham and eggs and not much
else, about twice day and sometimes
three times a day. | never used to eat
eggs at home and | never cared much
for any salt meats, but I've got the
habit now and ! order ham and eggs,
even when | have an elaborate menu
in front of me at a big hotel. The
reason is simply that in small towns
ham and eggs are about the only
things you can afford to take chance
on. II is seldom that you get packed
eggs, because fresh eggs are cheap
enough in small places, and then, no
matter how inexperienced the cook
is, he can fry or boil you some eggs
Then they nearly always have good
ham. Occasionally l add boiled pota
toes to my small hotel menu, because
they can hardly give you the worst OF
II on them, either. But ham and eggs
are the standby"
