Friday morning's returned mail from the dead letter office at Washington received | at the Omahs postoffice tells another in- teresting #tory of where grievous disap- pointment comes from the carelessness of letter writers, All these letters were sent from Omaha | about the holldays. Some of them contained | money, money orders, steamship tickets, express money orders and, in addition, were several packages of Christmas re- membrances that could not be delivered to their Intended destination because the senders forgot to address them properly One was a letter containing money sent by Mrs. A. M. It was addressed with a pathetic letter evidently to a son or daugh- ter In Chicago. Another was a pair of baby's knit shoes sent to Killburg, Sweden. There was no address on the letter, nor no signature ta it. This package was de- tained because of a violation of the cus- toms service. But even this infraction of the customs laws might have been overlooked had the letter been hddrssed to some individual in Scandinavia : Rebecea Will Wonder, Too.

Two packages of Christmas gifts were sent to far-off South Africa, one by Mrs Anna Robinson, and another by Aunt Em. They were pretty pleces of lace work, a couple of lace handkerchiefs and some Christmas cards. The address on them was illegible and they, too, were an Infringe- ment on the parcels post laws, but they were sent to South Africa anyhow, but no one there was able to locate the parties for whom the packages were intended. William Bookwalter will wonder why the money he sent to a friend or relative never reached the party intended. There was no postoffice indicated on the letter. Friend No Getta de Tick. An TItallan who forgot to sign his letter sent a return steamship ticket to a friend or relative in Naples, but It was so poorly addressed that the experts of the dead letter office were unable to make It out, either in Washington or In Naples, Italy.

For- John H. Smith of the police force of South Norwalk, Conn., has a brood of hens which, from a persistent diet of ham clippings and pork rinds, lay eggs which cannot be told from a full fledged break- fast of ham and eggs. The yolks are hard and ham-like In appearance, while the white of tne egg has retained its old appearance and taste. At present the eggs are a trifle too salt, but by a slght application of sugar in their dlet, Mr. Smith, who is a poultry fancier of long experience, is bringing his unique product up to a state of rare per- fection. The flavor is perfect, and when bolled or fried the eggs make an fdeal breakfast. They can also be caten raw, when they are said to be delicious. Smith hes & high board fence around his hennery, and all of his experiments are carrled on In secrecy. His eggs command fabulous prices, both as food and for sit- ting purposes, selling readily at 2% cents each. Not satisfied with his ham and ©ggs, Mr. Smith has started another brood on & diet of cheese with a view to pro- ducing eggs that will pass for Welsh bits. He s confident that he can so revol- | utionize the egg business and bring his stock to a variety and perfection that he will be ahle to supply about any food ou an ordinary menu.—New York Press h Mr. Puteff Shirks & Duty, “My dear." sald Mr. Putoff, as he looked up from his pyper, “it is estimated that if . man. were\relatively as sirong as a beetle he could Mft 198,M0 pounds “Is_that = rejoined Mre.

It would have seemed reasonable to sup- pose that after thé very generous manner in which Mr. Landow has lavished his precious gifts upon the local fellowship of music-lovers, they would have turned out en masse and filled the place where he would elect to play his program and charge an admission fee. The former recitais have been mostly invitation affairs und without any admission fee They were attended abundantly.
