A Sumptuous Breakfast.

Los ADgeles Tribune. A party of gentlemen sat at the table of a restaurant, and among other stories one was related of Will F. Yisseher, a newspaper man not unknown on the co Ist. He was married in Omaha some ten years ago, at the house of his ancle, who is now a resident of Pasadena. The lady who had the fortune to become Mrs. Visscher was the daughter of wealthy parents, and was likewise ignorant of kitchen and household duties. All went as merry fia the traditional marrige hell fora time, but the honeymoon over, the housekeeping began. A week or so elapsed when the whilom bappy benedict became dejected in appearance and less jovial ip manner. In answer to the feeling inquiry of a friend as to the cause of these habilis ments of woe. the genial journalist delivtered himself in abont these words by way of explanation: “You know I am married, and I and my wife are housekeeping now. Well, some way we don’t get along just right. I never did any cooking, and my wife don’t know much moie about it than I. Now what do you suppose we had for breakfast this morning?” Waiting a minute for his friend to say he had no idea, Yisseher continued, “Well, all in God’s world there was on the table was ham and ice cream.” f
