ELIMINATED EGGS
* A recent graduate of the Harvard University has returned to his home in Alabama. It is said~ that since his return the young lawyer has completely mystified his former friends and neighbors with the use of big words. His flow of speech, with its weighty words, has caused no little comment, and the man is now tolerated with a smile. At the hotel for breakfast one morning this bright young lawyer told the waiter to bring him some eggs, rolls, and coffee. The waiter started for the kitchen.
' Oh, waiter,' called the young lawyer,' ' just eliminate those eggs and bring me some-; '
' All right, boss,' said- the waiter ; ' jus' 'liminate 'em. All right, boss, all right.' And the waiter started for the kitchen. Shortly he came back.
' Boss, we's got a new cook out dere, an' he says how does you 'liminate dem aigsl' said the waiter. 'Ho says he kin bile aigs, an' fry aigs, an' scramble aigs, but he don't know nothin' 'bout 'liminatin' 'em.'
