Nice Cruel.

A missionary's wife, Mrs. Patton, had
been very i'll on a lonely island in the Pa
cifc, and when she recovered sufficiently
to write to her friends at home she thus
described one of her experiences:
When 1 was able to take an intelligent
view of my surroundings, this is what I
first remember seeing:
John cher husband), sitting by my bed
side, with an old straw hat on the back of
his head and huge tin basin between his
knees half full of what tasted like very
thin, sweet porridge, with which he was
feeding me lovingly out of the cook s long
iron spoon.
He assured me that it was water Cruel :;
that he had got into the way of making it
nicely now, but that he could not find a
clean dish on the premises to put it in.
He was so proud Of his cooking that 1
asked for the recipe, and you have it here:
Equal parts of meal, sugar and water-a
cupful of each for one dose; boil all to-
gether till there is a smell of smuggling,
whereby you know it is sufficiently cooked /

GOLD A COMMODITY.
John Breidenthal Brings Back q
Silver Argument
FROM HIS TRIP TO CHICAGO.

Japanese VEOn't Mako a Contract in
Gold Because the MetaI EIuctuares
In Price Too Much
State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
brought new free silver argument back
with him from Chicago and he did not
get it in the Horn Harvey debate either.
Mr.. BreidenthaI while in the city called
at the Office of the Butler Paper COM
pany, the company which has the con-
tract for furnishing the state of Kansas
with paper for the next year
Mr.. Butler, the senior member OF the
firm, was in the Office, and the two gen
tlemen very naturally turned their con-
versation to politics, and then to the
money question.
Mr.. Butler expressed himself as favor
ing money which was the same the
world over, and Mr.. Breidenthal asked
him what kind of money that was.
MIR. Butler said he meant gold.
BIr. Breidenthal asked him il he did
not know that gold is more of commod-
ity than anything else.
This freshened Mr.. Buffers memory,
and he said: eyes, this reminds me OF

BEER OVER THE BAR.
Three Bartenders are Kept Busy at Bis

Three Bartenders are Kept Busy at Bis
marck Grove Sunday.
LAWRENCE Kan, July 23-There was
very little of the prohibition boosted so
much by Kansas at the picnic that was
held Sunday at Bismarck grove The
excursion train from Kansas City, besides
bringing all sorts of refreshments for q
picnic dinner, had on board a large guam
tity of beer for the purpose of shaking
the thirst of those who we're in the party
and who might visit the grove from
other towns and from the neighborhOod
of Lawrence.
The old main ticket office of the fair
association was fitted up for the dispens-
ing of the beer, the big window in the
north taken out and bar improvised.
Behind this bar there were three bar
tenders who were kept on the jump from
the time the picnic was opened till the
supply of beer ran out, supplying the
wants of the thirsty crowd The bar was
crowded from two to three deep all the
while, and the only way that it was pos
sible to get close to it was by edging and
ctowding and patiently waiting till one
of the busy bartenders could have his
attention called and serve the customer.
The bartenders were unable to wait on
the crowd anywhere near as fast AS it
wanted refreshments, but kept going all
the time. The supply of beer gave out
about o'clock and the crowd had to go
thirsty or fall back on what had been
saved from the wholesale destruction by
the crowd at the grove.
There was an admission fee of 25 centa
charged at the gate and this kept out all
! those who might have made disturb
ance or otherwise have made it unpleas
ant.
Tickets in blocks of five for a quarter
were sold and each one of these Wa,
good for glass of beer when presented
at the saloon that was in opsrati on.
