EGGS COOKED TO SUIT HIM
How John Randolph Had Them Boiled
With Assistance of 8tring
of 8ervants.
Moot persona who eat eggs at all
are particular about them. The boll- j
lng of an egg seems a simple matter,
but many a breakfast has been spoiled
and many ft temper rasped by the ;
cook's falling to observe the precise I
number of minutes and seconds that
the process should occupy. 1 V\
That very original man. John,Ran-j
dolph, ia said to have invented a >
method of getting hfa eggs cooked ex-
actly to hla taste that worked per
fectiy. As In the case In many eoun-
homes In the south, the kitchen

distance from the house, and servants
were plenty.
WhenXhe “wage of Roanoke” took

"Out!” went forth the command
like manner, and the eggs were quick
ly‘ removed.
The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg. but Ran-
dolph was accustomed to declare that
espousal of what was known as Clan- j this was the only way that ho could

rest was comparatlve’y modest type.
When the Nourmahal was reported
lost the papers began to talk about
sending out searching expeditions
The government dispatched a cruiser
to search for Astor Now Richard
Barry toll* the story of that episode
for the first time. "Astor was very
fond of hift pet dog." say* Barry. "The
pet dog hated the sea. The second
day out on the cruise the dog began
to mope. Astor told the captain of
the yacht to potat her noee for shore.
TU take Betsy off and give her a
run.’ said the master of millions.
"Thsy landed that day on the
Caroltno shore and Betsy got hnr run.
But one run wasn’t enough for her.
Each day. as tfcey voyaged south.
Betsy was taken on land to stretch
her legs Finally they were off the
Honduras ©oast, and Betsy began to
howl for a frolic. The captain pro-
tested that the coast line was Insuffi-
ciently charted, and that the Nourma-
hal was In danger of being wrecked if
he waa obliged to run In too near.
" 'No matter,' said Astor. 'Betsy {

"So they put In, and shelved the
Nourmahal on a rock, and every one

her wares herself, she discovered the
