hour and a half drive over an exo@s-
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one Of the isun.-

markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every

figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on valuable home

Easter Gifts.

When blessed Eastertide comes, says a
writer in Good Housekeeping, there is the
happy custom, the world over, Of giving
little gifts, of celebrating with good wishes,
If nothing more. The beautiful Russian
custom of the greeting, ''Christ is Risen ~
and the response. HE is risen indeed" is
only one of the many delicate reverentisl
and touching observations of the day which
we would do well to follow.
a friend who spent two years in that
country in the family of an English
relative who married a Russian noble
man, described to NE as something
remarkable the heartiness of the greet
ings on Easter morning. and the evi-
dent genuineness OF the good will all
classes express toward each other; as well
as the exchange of gifts-almost always an
egg in some form-from the dyed eggs
given by the peasants. 10 the costly bonbou
holders Of the upper classes; ranging from
the gllded, egg-shaped receptacle for choice
confectious, 10 the exquisIteiy carved ivory
egg containing jewel, instead of candies.
With Us. however, the egg does not so
largely enter into Easter remembrances, as

Of their Kind; they veil their orders down

OF their kind; they yell their orders down
the length of the room and have a peculiar
nomenclature of their own for almost every
article on the bill of fare. You go in with
three friends and seat yourself at one OF
the tables, which Is innocent of tabie-cloth.
A brawny waiter with his sleeves rolled up
above his elbows swaggers up and, giving
the table perfunctory wipe with his side
towel, inquiries:
swell, what duyer wanta"
You give the order modestly:
"a beefsteak rare, fsh-balls, pork and
beans, baked potatoes, plate of buck
wheat cakes, well Drowned, a cup of tea
and three cups of coffee with no milk" The
waiter draws himself up and shouts as he
goes toward the kitchen:
Zone slaughter in the pan, pair collar
buttons, stars and stripes, murphy with his
jacket on, stack of whites well coppered,
one billed Chinee. draw three in the dark. !"
These expressions vary in different
places. In one the dyspeptic who orders cot.
fee and cakes is astounded by hearing his
order translated into 'slops and sinkers,"
and in another the waiter yells for "mys-
terry when you order hash. There are
other eating houses which are more or less
known, like Beefsteak Johns and Lobster
Jacks, for special dishes, and there are a
few genuine English chop-houses and grill
rooms. A man must be difficult to please,
indeed, who can not find what he wants in
the eating line in New York. For the
searcher after culinary novelties and dys-
pepsia it is indeed fruitful and inviting
field. My experience has only served to
impress upon me the truth of my old copy
book maxim: GAN is not gold that glitters."
The best cooking is not always to be found
in the most pretentious restaurants. The
injunction Of st. Paul to "try all things and
hold fast to that which is good" is not so
applicable in this connection, but one must
have patience nerve and a strong digestion
to follow it among the New York restau.
rants. Once accomplished and the knowl.
edge gained, the end justifes the means.

4 Political Aneodote That Carries ID
Own Moral
Mr.. Blaine used to express his opinion OF
the reliability Of the newspapers Of the
day by telling the following story:
There was once an Irish editor who was
bothered with so many calls for copy that
he reached the end Of all truthful news and
called upon his Imagination. The foreman
came into the sanctum demanding more
copy, saying: 1--WE must have enough to
fill another half column"
"Kill a baby in Cork and describe the
murder" said the badgered editor.
An hour later the foreman came in, say.
ing: ave need enough copy to I'LL about
two inches at the end of the column
"Did you kill the baby and picture all the
horrors of the scenef'
eyes, sir, and it don't fill the column
"Then deny the report.n was the 70
Spouse Of the at last triumphant editor.
This may be table, but something
similar occurred in real life at Washin gtou
a few years ago. A Virginia Congressman
was interviewed by Perry Heath, and the
interview was revised and corrected by the
Congressman before Mr.. Heath sent it out

pecially outspoken and bitter towards Ger
mans and Jews.
Two weeks later he came in great trepi

and is making me trouble. Some of my
best supporters are Germans and Jews,
and they will knife me in convention and al
the polls. It is very unfortunate.
"Well, the interview was genuine and
authorized, wasn't it2" inquired Mr. Heath
Certainly it was, and there's the trouble
I can't deny it, and can't get out of it."
"Why don't you follow the regular Gus

II don't know what is the custom, nor
what to do in the matter" replied the
worried Congressman.
"The regular and proper thing to do"

of the kind to the correspondent Of an In.

have been exceptionally manly-much more

you may deny the report, and abuse me as
much as you please. 1t won't hurt me,

He did so, was renominated and re-elect

The Chinese restaurants are clean, the

Quoted number of campaigns, and he was
especially active in the Garfield canvass as
chairman of the Indiana Republican State
Committee. He was born at Vernon, lnd,
In 1881, but was educated in Virginia, be-
ing graduated at Bethany College when he
was twenty years old. After leaving col
lege he studied law, but if he was ever ad-
mltted to the bar he has not practised. He
has made his way and won his reputation as
a business man and politician. He first
showed his capacity as an organizer during
the war, when he was Quartermaster-Ge Gen
eral of Indiana. The only elective office he
has held is that of State Senator. He was
financial secretary of Governor Oliver P.
Morton, and in 1865 went into the business
of banking, in partnership with William a.
English.
He helped to establish the First National
Bank of Indianapolis, and was first its
cashier and then it's president. He was ap-
pointed United States Treasurer by Grant
in 1875, being the immediate successor Of
General Francis E. Spinner. He resigned
this office in 1876, and in 1878 purchased the
Indianapolis Journal. His connection with
newspaper work has, however, been as a
business manager and publisher rather
than as writer, although he has been
nominally the editor of his paper. In 1888
Mr. Arthur appointed him Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, but he resigned that

ity Of the cheaper grades of olive oil used
in cooking in the Italian restaurants has
made me rather shy of them as general
rule, though there are rare types of char
acter to be seen in some of these smaller
places. One man in particular attracted
me, tall graceful fellow with the oval face
and regular features OF a Roman nobleman.
He had an exquisite tenor voice, and, al
though generally the very type Of dignity,
would occasionally sing pathetic Italian
songs for the delectation of few friends
who fingered late over their coffee. His
magnificent eyes, his graceful figure and
the distingue curl of his jet black mustache
and imperial led me to weaving all sorts of
romantic stories concerning him in my own
mind until accidentally discovered that he
was a clerk in a feather store and that his
father kept small shop in Naples.

race, to the Spanish Jews, who, in appear.

racy of Judaism. Here you will find
restaurants with Hebrew signs and the
bills Of fare printed in Hebrew characters.
There is reason to suppose that the meats,
at least, are above suspicion, owing to the
restrictions of the religion. But they are,
to the American palate, horribly served.

ignorance. When you can obtain on Chat

steak which tastes fairly, and from the
eating of which you experience no evil re-
suits, for ten cents, it is better not TO inquire
too closely into the previous history OF that
steak or even wonder whether the restaur-
ant-keeper stole it raw or cooked.
This is true to even greater degree in

proper and commonplace guests. There
