Why He Ate Beans for Dinner.

They tell good story about one Wy

here and ON the Comstock He stopped
one night at Deming, New Mexico, a
favorite resort of the cowboys.
MADAME" said Abe to the landlady,
"give me some dinner and be quick
about it. I have not dined since yester-
day." . .
The lady brought him some bean
Madame, take that soup away. l
never eat soup. Bring on the roasts
right away"
The lady brought him large plate of
pork and beans. as.
Madame, take that away. / never
eat those things. .l-..s.- .- q
In vain the lady explained that pork
and beans was the best the house afford
ed. He was obdurate, and wanted roast
beef, rare. A mild hammered. blue eyed
cowboy at the table then Clipped in !:
"Beggin' pardon, stranger, but you
must excuse the lady. We" H..
"Who are you, sir ?" retorted the
drummer. 4 know my business"
"You don't tell me p said the festive
cowboy. drawing his navy. "Now, you
eat them beans. I'm goin' to set here
an see you fed. Light into 'em quick,
or I'll open you sure, and put EN- in.
This is bizness with me, an I'm shoutin'
in yer ear" t
The unfortunate drummer saw blood
in the air, and was forced to choke four
plates of the unwelcome food down be-
fore the cowboy was satisfied with his
apology to the landlady y.-Reno Ga

Coffee is the fine issue of Eastern hos
pitality-the climax of the visit. One
recognizes, on entering, the sound of the
coffee-mortar, for in every properly regu-
lated household in the East the coffee is
not ground, but pounded to an impalpa-
BILE powder, having been roasted that
morning, each day its provision, and
pounded the moment it is needed. And
no one who has not drank it there and
thus, can presume to judge of the bever-
age.
In England we roast it till it is black,
grind it as we would cattle food, boiling
it like malt for beer, and when we drink
the better and unaromatic fluid which
remains and say we have taken our coffee.
The eastern coffee-drinker knows all the
grades of berry and preparation as silk
merchant knows the quality of silk; the
caffejee knows that to roast it a shade
beyond the point where it breaks crisply
under the pestle is to spoil it, and when
the slow pulverizing is done, each meas
ure goes into its little copper ibrik, re-
ceives its dose of boiling water, just one
of the tiny cupsful, rests and instant on
the Goals to restore the heat lost in the
ibrik, and is poured into the eggshell
cup, and so it came to MS, each cup in q
| gold enameled holder. The rule In these
lands seems to be that few things are
worth doing but these few are worth do
ing well, and there is no waste of life or
material by overhaste. = Pail Mali

Driving with the ParasOl.

The other evening the Jester was
bathing his eyes in cold water, and sus-
pended the operation long enough to re-
mark .-r-..4
eff woman can't take her parasol
to heaven when she dies, she won't be
happy there. She will come back after
it
An impressive quiet followed this dog
matte statement, and the parasols of the
court knew some of them where in for
it.
"We were driving this afternoon"
the aggrieved Jester resumed, and the
princess kindly shaded my head with
her parasol. It was very kind, indeed.
1t limited my view of the country, at
times, to my knee and the dashboard Of
the wagon. Whenever we met a team,
especially if the road was very narrow,
the princess lowered her parasol between
myself and the passing wagon, so that /
turned out by faith, or stood on my head
to catch a glimpse of the coliding
wheels. When we started down steep
hill, she dropped the parasol between
me and the horses, and trusted to the
good sense of the animals to keep out OF
the ditch. When we met any acquain-
tances to whom wished to bow, she
knocked my hat into my eyes. When
she would point my admiring gaze to
some exquisitely tinted autumn leaves,
she jabbed projecting parasol rib into
my eye. When she turned to speak to
any one in the rear seat, size rasped the
back of my neck. Oft as the carriage
struck a stone or lurched over a rut,
she prodded my long suffering head with
vicious little jabs. ]. drew my head
down between my shoulders and sat
crouched and bent, but the remoKseless
parasol still pursued me. i have been
peIted and rasped and prodded, and all
from mistaken sense of kindness. A
woman's unsel6shness and Kindness of
heart always prompts her to hold hel
parasol over the man who drives. And,
if the man who drives is allowed to choose
| for himself, he will choose sunstroke iu
preference to the parasol every time.
do not complain, mind you. I merely
make simple statement of plain fact
Any man who has to drive pair o
horses while some gentle-hearted woman
holds a parasol over him knows what
have suffered. And when she holds ar
umbrella it is infinitely worse. Ther
the man is utterly aud hopelessly extin
guished, and the material world is tt
him only wild, blank chaos of alpaci
and whalebone."
But here her little serene highnes'
closed the debate by deciding that th,
nose caught it, but the eyes had it, anf
without appealing from the decision. o

Bells are said to have been introduced
by Paulinus, Bishop of Mole, in Cam
pagna, about 400, and first known in
France in $50. The army of Clothair
IL, King of France. was frightened
from the siege of Sens by the ringing OF
the bells of st. Stephens Church. The
second exception Of King Egbert COM
mands every priest. at the proper hours,
to sound the bells of his church. Bells
were used in churches by order of Pope
John TX, about 900, as a defence by
ringing them against thunder and light
ming. Bells were first cast in England
by Turkeytel, Chancellor of England
under Edmund I. His successor inn
proved the invention, and caused two
first tunable sets to be put up at Croy-
land Abbey, $50. The celebrated
"Song of the Bell" by Schiller, has
been frequently translated. Bells were
anointed and baptised in churches, it is
said, from the tenth century. The bells
of the priory of Little Dunmow, in Es-
sex, were baptised by the names of St.
Michael, st. John, Virgin Mary, Holy
Trinity, etc., in 1901. The great bell Of
Notre Dame, of Paris, was baptised by
the name of Duke of Angouleme, 1916.
On the continent, in Roman Catholic
states, they baptise bells as we do ships,
but with religious solemnity. es

Ar THE age of three or four weeks pigs
need the most care. When the litter Is
large, and the pigs at about this age. the
milk of the SOW is not sufficient to keep
them in steady, healthy growing state.
They should be cared for before this
time by giving them an opportunity to
learn to eat. At this season of the year
nubbins from sweet corn will be eaten
greedily il the corn is soft. Purslane
Is an excellent feed for them. Have q
trough so constructed that they can
reach into it, and they will soon learn
TO eat with the mother. Small and un-
mercbantable potatoes, which are always
abundant on the farm at this season of
the year, make, when boiled, an excel
lent feed for pigs. Sour milk, butter
milk and whey will bring young pigs
along rapidly. t|..

You Are No Gentleman.

"Do you call yourself a gentleman I?
is the eommonest and most withering
form of sarcasm in use, not only among
snobs, but among costermongers, coal
beavers and the like. To persons of adj
mitted pretensions to gentility the ques-
ton is frequently put, and perhaps neg
atiyely answered by the questions when
the superior person declines to recognize
a false or exorbitant claim. Thus not
long ago was asked if called myself
a gentleman, by "young lady :" at
refreshment bar because 1 demurred at
paying her a sovereign for not having
run away with purse that had mad
yertantly left on the counter for five
minutes. And two of her friends de-
clared that was " no gentleman, y with
out leaving any doubt in the matter.
have been called fno gentleman, for not
paving a cabman three times his fare,
and for obiecting to pay in furnished
lodgings for articles which had neither
ordered or consumed. A loafer in the
street has sometimes picked up glove
before could pick it up for myself, or
| told me that my handkerchief was hang
| ing ont of my pocket. In any other coun-
| try than England the commonest man
paving such attentions as these would be
| insulted by this offer of q reward, but
in this country have been freely called
sno gentleman for not encouraging the
lowest kind of what is yulgarly called
cadging." 1t seems, indeed, that to
be a gentleman in the eyes OF large
classes of the community you must pay
| whatever may be demanded of you upon
! any pretext, and ask no questions. a..
Socially, the term gentleman has
become almost vulgar. 1t is certainly
less employed by gentleman than by in
ferior persons. The one speaks of ga
man know" and the other of ga gen
tleman know" In the one case the
gentleman is taken for granted, in the
other it seems to need specification.
Again, as regards the term lady" II
is quite in accordance with the usages OF
| society to speak of your acquaintance
the duchess as "a very nice person. .
People who would say every nice lady
are not generally of a social class which
has much to do with duchesses; and il
you speak of one of these as a "per
son you will soon be made to feel YOU
mistake.-AU The Year around.

Land Monopoly in California.

"With more untitled acres than there
are in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa COM
bined, the settler who comes to Cali
fornia," the San Francisco Chronicle
says, "finds extreme difficulty in secur.
ing a home-160 acres-at even four
times as much as 16O acres would cost
him in any OF those States. Millions of
acres have been transferred from Gov
ernment to corporation control, nnd the
corporations, with singular blindness to
their own interests, seem to be the worst
enemy the settlers have. Other mill
ions Of our best acres are locked up in
large Spanish and Mexican grants, held
for advancing rates, simply because the
machinery provided for taxing them
does not work with honesty and smooth
ness"

Pleasantly Favored,

The Frenchman's food is favored be-
fore it comes to the table, and it is
artistically and wholesomely done.
Where we deluge our food with highly
spiced sauces and hot pickle-juice in
order to "give it TASTE" the French
nse delicate vegetable essences and
savory herbs. Carrots, turnips, onions,
leeks, cabbage, mushrooms and truffles,
together with tarragon, thyme, chervil,
laurel and parsley, form the basis Of
French favors. Spices they use in ex-
ceeding moderation. The essence of
common vegetables and potherbs COM
bined with the juices of various meats, is
the basis of all their success. The almost
infinite variety of combinations which
can be made Of these simple ingredients
is astonishing. This great variety of
flavors keeps the palate constantly
amused, as it were, whereas the eternal
monotony Of the average English kitchen
results in sort of gastronomic boredom,
which is to be combated only by such
violent means as strong mustard, cayenne,
and that esculent fire known as "hot
pickles." So perfectly is the food favored
by French cooks that at table not even
salt need be added to it., ..-.ri - a

Aspeciai from Helena, Ark, October 5th, says:
"Night before last an attempt was made to SIS
sassinate Simon Silverman while on his way to
this city, Five shots were fred at him from be-
hind tree, with no other effect than to frighten
the horse ridden by Silverman, which threw its
rider without injuring him. The cause of this
attempt on Silverman's life is owing to the dis
pute about the ownership of the lottery ticket
which won the $4,000 prize in the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, Silverman claiming it
to be his, and a Mrs. Clark claiming that she
had bought it of Silverman, who afterwards
purloined it, from her. The ticket was taken
from him at the muzzle of the pistol, and he
has instituted suit for the money. 1t is sup
posed that the attempt on his life was made to
keep him from prosecuting the suit. ."-Neao

Amid the J0sling Crowd.

One of the strangest things in walk
ing through a crowded city is the alb
stract look some people have. Their
bodies may be hurrying along, but their
minds are either sound asleep or gone a
wandering. They pay not the slightest
regard to any one or anything, and
only escape being run over by the law
that apparently protects incapables
as we'll as drunkards and children.
Others again carry on audible converse
ton, gesticulate, smile or laugh, and are

persuaded by his friend, Eugene Della
croix, the distinguished painter, to sit
for him as the model of q beggar, as

friends and disciples entered, and was so
completely deceived by the models
woebegone appearance, that in passing
out he steaIthily pressed coin into the
old mans hand. Rothschild greatly en-
joyed his success in his assumed charac-

ence by teaching. became very useful
friend to him and the source of substan-
tial pecuniary aid.
