willing to Pay for Good Advice.

When d. K. Tenney was admitted to
the bar he was one IF the "boys," says
the Milwaukee Wisconsin, He enjoyed
a good time as well as any one and many
good stories are told about him. 1t is
said that ON one occasion he went to
country dance near Madison and became
sinitten with one of the country girls.
He danced with her nearly all the even
ing, regardless of the fact that certain
six-footer in the room kept watching
him threateningly. Finally friend
approached.
Dan, he said, "do you see that big
fellow on the other side of the room?"
"Yes.
"Well, he's going to lick the life out of
you.
"What for ?" asked Tenney.
"You've been dancing with his girl all
the evening""
"Well, if were you I'd put on my
coat and make sneak for home. I'd
get away from here just as quick as I
could"
The embryo lawyer said never word
but reached down in his pocket and got
out So bill
"What are you doing," asked the
friend.
"Take it.
II don't want any money"
stake it," repeated Tenney. "T've
taken S5 for blamed sight worse advice
than that"

The coffee tree is from 6 to II feet high,
and the same tree bears for number of
years. The trunk is from - to Is inches
in diameter, and when fully grown much
resembles our own apple tree of from 10
to 12 years standing. Ordinarily the
lower branches begin to bend as the tree
grows old, the wood being very Timber
and pliable, and soon form themselves
into the shape of gigantic umbrella,
many of the branches reaching the
ground. The bark is whitish and rather
tough; the leaves much resemble those
tropical latitudes it continues green
throughout the year, never being entirely
bare of leaves. Blossoms and green and
ripe fruit may be seen on the coffee tree
at any season of the year. When the
blossom falls off there remains in its
place a small fruit, green at first, which
becomes red as it ripens, not unlike a
large cherry, and very good to eat I'm
der the flesh of this berry, instead of
stone, is found the seed we call coffee,
wrapped in a fine thin skin. The bean
is then soft and very unpalatable, but
becomes harder as it ripens, and the dried
up flesh or pulp, which was edible when
young and tender, becomes a shell of a
dark brown color, and the berry a waxy
transparent green. Each shell contains
one berry, which when separated forms
two of the coffee grains of commerce.

Winters Growing Warmer,

I'VE have sure proof that the average
cold of the winter is not 80 great or ex-
tended over so long period as 1t was
twenty years ago. remarked hardware
dealer who had been in business since
1850. "It is true we do not sell half as
many pairs of skates as in my early years.
It won't do to attribute the decrease to
the fashion Of roller skating nor to say
that young people and adults have given
up the notion of gliding over the ice.
If we had the ice this generation would
be as quick to take it as their predecessors
were. Garry your mind back twenty
years and you will recall that there were
a dozen ice rinks in and about the city,
the largest and best of which was that
in old Eastwick park. Men rented the
grounds, flooded them. put up restaurants
and dressing rooms, and then made
money, because there was scarcely a
winter when the ice was not good week
after week. Climatic conditions have
changed so that the man who would 90
into it now would be bankruped. Freezing
weather doesn't last long enough to in
sure any profit for the venture. We
hardly sell one pair of skates in the
holiday season now where we sold a
dozen in the old days of frozen streams
and ponds. "-[Philad elphia Record.

HORSE FLEsH an RIGHr
So Says Carter Harrison, Of Chicago, whe
Has Eaten 1t.


Has Eaten It.
Ex-Mavor Carter Harrison. of Chicago,
is an enthusiast on horse flesh as food.
This is what ne says on the subject:
The aversion to horse flesh is merely
a whim, as shallow as the superstition Of
a heather about his religion. lie cannot
logically explain it, neither can the
average citizen of Chicago explain why
he would not rather eat horse meat than
pork. Certain animals are tabooed as
food on account of sanitary reasons, by,s
surely no one oan say that a horse is not
much cleaner than hog or duck. In
India the bovine species was made sacred
years ago, for the simple reason that n
was hard thing to rear cattle in that
climate, hence to preserve the species il
was made sacred. The hog is nearly
always infested with trichin@ microbes.
1t was tabooed by the Jews hundreds Of
years ago and has since remained on the
taboo list. Carrion-eating animals Of
course are out of the question as an
article of food. Now, what is the matter
with the horse? Everybody knows what
the animal eats and how clean he is.
Look at the comparison--a nice, healthy
horse and a dirty. pudding duck. that
searches the cutters and sink holes for
its food, which is everything from carrion
to tin cans.
In my travels l have found many
people who like monkey flesh. I ate it
in Ceylon, and the flesh is delicious.
Bring such dish before some of our
Chicago four hundred and they would
fee from it like grouse from hunter.
But why? The monkey, like the horse,
is clean animal. Simply because
great many monkeys resemble old men
inappearance, and the resemblance would
sieken the hungry man. l have eaten
rattlesnake! If you can decapitate one
before he thrusts hi fangs into himself
or your body you w ! find the flesh when
roasted, tender, pal table and Of flavor
between young lam and chicken. There
ia no use talking; h rse meat is good, and
the day is not far distant when this fact
will be generally recognized and horse
fesh will be for sale in all Of our markets.
