lie said, but it takes so long to get
new parts for those foreign cars.

REMOVES ALL THE SHELL
implement That viii Find Immediate
Favor With All Those
Fond Of Eggs.

Many persons decline to have boil
ed eggs for breakfast for the reason
that they are somewhat Of nuisance
to prepare, after they have been
brought to the table, and before they
can be eaten. A few are content to
have the waiter or servant do this, but
the pleasure of dispatching this dainty
breakfast morsel is marred by the
knowledge that 1t Is almost impossible
to open a hot boiled egg without the
fingers of the opener coming into in
innate contact with the contents OF
the shell.
This uncertainty is overcome by the
use of the device shown in the accom-.

DoNALDSoNvILLE, LOUISIANA, is
VICTIM OF A FIRE WHICH
LASTED ENTIRE DAY.
Three Lives Are Reported Lost and
the Property Loss is Estimated at
Half a Million Dollar--ln-
surance Not Reported.

Donaldsonyille, La, Feb. PA loss
estimated at 100000 was sustained
when flames originating in kitchen
of the Nichols Hotel spread rapidly
and almost totally destroyed the bust
ness district of the city.
Three lives are reported lost.
1t is understood the fire was start
ed by an explosion of gasoline stove.
With almost incredible rapidity the
flames leaped across the street AID
fed by highly inflammable matter. de-
veloped into conflagraton beyond
the control of the local fire ~depart-
ment Hurry calls and special trains
were sent to neighboring cities for ap
paratus.
The flames started shortly after 3
O'Clock this morning, but it was 5
o'clock in the afternoon before they
We're under control.
The fire department from Napoleon
Vile was on the scene an hour after
receiving the call for aid and shortly
afterwards was reinforced by the de-
partment and apparatus from Plaque
mine, brought in on a special train.
A strong wind made the work OF
the firemen more difficult, blazing en-
bers and sparks being carried to out
lying districts, starting lother fires
which were subdued by bucket bri-
gades. Shortly after 3 o'clock sparks
started a blaze in the Point Event
Quarters outside the city limits,
owned by u. u. Mann and Company.
For a time this fire threatened Sc
rious results, but was extinguished by
hard work on the part of employees
and citizens.
The convent OF the Sisters OF Char

The following places were among
those totally destroyed:

At Chicago
ATTRACTS SAME WIDESPREAD
ENTHUSIASM HE DID WHILE
SERVING AS PRE- slDENT.
Makes Characteristic Addresses to
Audiences, Including One to the
'6oy Scouts" Whose Efforts
He Lauded.

Chicago, Feb. 22.--rheodore Roose-
welt coming, as he said, to "endeavor
to translate to present day needs the
work and will of Washington and Lin
coln," met with a reception here to-
| day such as was his when he was
president.
| There was one chief feature of the
days round of speeches and hand
shaking and hat waving which differ
ed from other receptions in that to-
which had the greater part in the well
day it was the foreign born element
come
The former president did not de-
viate to any appreciable extent from
his speeches of the immediate past.
He gave again his definition of Ma
tionalism, pleaded for execution of
duty in preference to demand of
rights" and worked himself into his
former earnestness only wlen ad-
dressing 5000 Boy Scouts in the Board
of Trade building.
While speaking at Hull House, tall
Greek in the Uniform of an instructor
of the scouts, by permission, ad-
dressed in his own tongue a passion
ate appeal to the former president to
keep working for better citizenship,
which was warmly cheered by the
better citizenship, which was warmly
cheered by the speakers fellows. A
medal which had been granted the
speaker for some feat of the past was
pressed into Colonel Roosevelts hand
as the Greek withdrew.
In Orchestra Hall he told school
children of his African trip and re-
lated stories of his adventures. The
keynote of his days talking was that
no amount OF laws would be of avail
if the individual citizen forgot his
duty.
The speaker declarDd that after all.
the trouble with this country was not
big business" wicked corporations,
corrupt public officers, etc, but the
failure of mer. through carelessness,
interpretation, or lack of understand
ing, to exercise their individual duty
to themselves and their fellowmen.
He reiterated his previous state
ments that there were good and bad
men in corporations and that the wick
ed should be hunted down Individual
ly, and he insisted that Uncle Sam
should create rules of business that
would take from organized monopoly
the great advantage it had over the
Ordinary citizen. He then explained
that Uncle Sam was none other than
the individual voter.
He denounced as a traitor a man
who would sell his vote or would buy
that of another, declaring him OF
blacker stripe than Benedict Arnold.
He also likened to the revolutionary
traitor the man who blackmailed
people, or a corporation, or an in
dividual, when the people had given
him the whip hand to hold others.
Colonel Roosevelt will leave for
New York tomorrow morning.
