Hens His Application.

"Here’s a Swiss named Egg who lives in New York petitioning to have., his name changed.” "Sort of an egg shake, eh! What’s the trouble?” “He and his wife have four children, and his family is constantly referred to as *the half-dozen Eggs.’ He claims his yolk is too heavy to be borne.” “Why doesn’t he lay for his tormentors?” "It appears that he did onse and got beaten, whipped to a froth. Poor Egg could barely scramble home.” — Boston Transcript.
