THE COOKED TROUT

"If thur one thing like bett'r another"
said the old settler, ''it's the eatin' of a
trout arter it's cooked"
''Arter it's cookedr' remarked the
squire, evidently astonished ''Wan,

eat trout fore 'twere cooked. do ye?"
81 'siniwate nothin', b'gosh!' ~ replied the
old settler, warmly. II 'siniwate nothin'.

''Wall, squire, havin' ketched your trout
ye look at him minute eZ he LAYS thar in
the grass. The sun hez got up, meantime.
an is peepin' down at him through the
openin's in the leaves, maxim his gold an
crimson to glisten an sparkle agin. Then
we run yer finger under his gill an carry
him to the cabin. Ye lay him lightly on
the moss, keepin' yer hans off'n him.
Right by the cabin thur sweet fern a.
CROWN, an We kin smell it. Mebbe thur
clump or so o. spice wood. If tn is, all the
better. Ye pick some fern, or spice-wood,
or both, an lay it by the trout. Then We
take piece o. clean brown paper an va
klver it with the fresh butter that Betsey
made. an which is in the little stone
jar that ye sunk In the spring at the edge o.
the alder thicket last night. Ye kiver the
paper thick with the butter, an We sprinkle
pepper an salt on it. Then we wrap the
trout IN it, jisJ ez it come from the lake
quarter hour ago. Then ye wrap little o.
the sweet fern or spice wood leaves about
the paper, wrap another brown paper over
the hull, an bury yer trout clean 10 the
bottom o. the red-hot ashes. Then We go to

MEXICAN PROSPECTS

Makers.
FRANK G. CARPENTERS VIEWS
Everything Is Expensive, victuals as Well as
Aaterials-Talk With an American
Dentist.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. /, 1891 - Especial
Correspondence of THE SUNDAY HERALD
What does it cost to live in Mexicom
asked this question of young Ameri-
can dentist who was practicing his profess
sion in the city of San Luis Potosi. This
is q city of about one hunred thousand peo-
pie. II lies in the north central part of
Mexico, and is in rich farming country.
The young dentist lives very nicely. Like
all of his kind in Mexico, he is making
money, and he is saving enough to make
him rich within the next ten or fifteen
years. Satd he: ''I keep q close account
of my expenses, and as 1 figure it it costs
me just about S1l7 month. My living
costs me for table expenses 81 day, or
$50 month. 1 pay S25 month for my
house, and l have threee servants, who
average 81 q month apiece. might get

in front of the door at night and does the
most of my marketing. In addition to the
wages Of the servants have to give them
so much day for food. Each of them
expects cents every morning for tortillas
or the corn cakes, which constitutes the
bread of the common people. They claim
that they don't like my food, but have a
sneaking idea that they steal 1t all the same
Then every week l have to give cents
cents extra to them for soap. This is the
custom and they want the money and not
the soap. l once bought twenty-five pounds

they wouldn't take it. Then in addition to
this have my washing and ironing. This
is never done in the house in Mexico.

TO SPECIAL SCHOOL TAxPAYERs

A fund of special district school taxes OF
the year 1890, which were paid to the COL
lector under protest, is still in the collec-
tors hands. The city board of education
applied for mandamus to compel the COL
lector to pay over the fund to the board. A
number of those who paid said taxes under
protest are now intervening in the N anda-
mus suit, claiming a refunding of tina
amounts paid, and have retained ]. g..
Sutherland as their attorney in the inter-
yention.
All taxpayers who made such payments
after the tax became delinquent, and who
desire to unite with the others in said in
tervention to recover back the amounts
paid, are requested to call at once at room
No. 80, Hooper building, bringing all their
tax receipts for taxes of 1890.
