Mr. Walcott Devoura His Twelfth Brace, and 18 Ready for More. “‘Gabrlel, how is the quail eatex?” “He says that he Js ll right,” re- plied the roadside landlord; ‘“‘but I noticed that he begins to llnger over his birds ” Mr. Wolcott, the gastronomical wonder who has undertaken to eat a brace cf quail a day for thirty days, set behind a lergo stove that was hot enough to car! a salamander. He was walting for his twelith pair cf birds, Savoral horsemon were discussing the question as to how quail were to be obtaiced from tho 1st to the 6ih of February without violating the game law. Mr. Waleott sald that the law was passed for the purpoee of protecting the birds while breeding. I¢ a suffi- cient eupply was obtained before the last of Junuary, no one but a busy- body would interfere, A great inter- est had heen created in the matter. Telegraphic despatches wero now sent to St. Louis and other distant polnts every day as eoon as he began to eat the birds, andconsiderabie money was pending on the result. Mr, Walcott then s'epped to the upper end of the glass-covered piazza, whero he nibbled crackers from the lanch bowl, and swallowed a cup of clam soup, Merchant Willlams, the quiet and impreaeive waiter, now appeared, with the quails nicely broiled on toast, a large platter «f Lijonuaise potatoes, a dih of green peas, enother dish of corn, a pyramid f bread, and a pat of butter, Mr, Walcott's legs were under the table, and his silk hat was on the fl or justas the last dish was properly placed. Ho made a direot attack on the quail cutting off a wing neatly, He poeled the wing bones in one minute, and then put on a pair of eyeglasses, As he cut into the bread, u savory etesm curled into hies nostrils. Ineizht min. utes he had polished the frame-work of his twenty-third bird. When he had davoured about the twenty-fourth bird crunched a spoonful Cf groen peasin his mouth, With the last morsels he ato zomae of the toast. The twenty fourth bird re- quired nine minutes for dissection. The bones of the quail were then ready tobe wired for cabinet specimons Mr. Walcott next made a clean sweep of the vegetablos, A group cf gentle- men watched the feast. Mr, Charlea N. Perkins of Boston certified to the performan: nd time Mr. Coe, the Coloseus of the road, came in jnst as Mr. Walcott had cleared the table, “‘Gaba didn't give at,"” ho exclaimod " replied Walcott half you half enough | 13; se Evansville (Ind) lette days ago A a drummer for one of our wholesale houses was traveling in a buggy along a country road in Arkan- Blooming Frosperity. ‘ fow | | and London. dyed | port from #40 to 850 each, | Men with a large #as, when he came upon a tall, rough- ly-dressed man sitting upon a rail fence, whittling.
