A gentleman of Ocean View 1--WE
withhold his name) received a pack
age containing three fine cakes, one
of which was a large fruit cake his
especially favorite, although all cake
is a favorite with him. The package
also contained an especially fine piece
of bacon and other nice things-1t
came from his thoughtful wife, who is
in Germantown, Pa, The cakes and
other things were duly stored for
proper use; but there was a longing,
or honing for fruit cake created which
was difficult to down. In the "wee
hours of the morning the gentleman
awoke with a keen and overwhelming
sense of hunger, pervading him for
fruit cake. He arose and finally de-
cided it was too early to eat rich food
and so he retired. But again he
lwoke and then decided to eat of the
eake-but first he ate of the prepared :
'ried bacon and then turned, too, on
he fruit cake-but here further dis
of what happened would be
90 personal and we will desist-yet,
