Swell Dinner at south bend.


South Bend Tribune.
A notable dinner was served to-day by
Mrs. J. NJ Studebaker, the guests being
eight gentlemen. The central and most
attractive feature of the table was huge
dish Of kraut and pigtail, which was en-
bellished on the side with such delicacies
as red hots. country sausage, rye bread,
white bread. apple butter. pumpkin pie.
mince pie. beer, cider, coffee. cigars and
dyspeptic tablets. The menu read as fol-
lows:
Two kinds OF dyspeptic's delight
VIII be served to make a fight
Against pigtail and sauer kraut
When they begin to bite.
Country sausage and ribs that are spare
Will add to this feast, which is surely rare.
viii end this old time spread with cheer.
While apple butter. coffee, cheese and the
rest
And call for the doctor to come out
And cure the ache from sauer kraut.
After thoroughly discussing and doing
ample justice to the dinner the guests
presented Mrs. Studebaker with the fol-
lowing testironial:
1--WE all concede with one accord this
is the greatest dinner we ever enjoyed"
Irving A Sibley, Nelson j. Riley. Frederick
sr.. J. N. studebaker, jr. and Z. Louis
One OF the gentlemen invited who was
obliged to deny. himself the pleasure OF
attending sent the following note of regret:
Like sweet chords swept by master hand
Your message comes to me,
And Impulse springs without command
To say with you I'll be;
For the best thing out
Is pigtail and kraut.
With congenial company.
But the old, old tale Of spirit strong
Is told again to-day,
For the doctor says 'twou1d help me along
II i should stay away.
So / must go without
The pigtai and kraut
And the congenial company.

Chicago, reached this city on special
car, which, between November Is and the
day before Christmas, is expected to carry
them into about fifty principal cities be-
tween Canada and the Gulf, and the At

These gentlemen are travelling in the
private car "Wanderer,' which will be
side-tracked at the Union depot until

The purpose is to show. bicycle dealers

Why Barber Spared the Snake.

When fishing and camping in the wilds
Of Cameron county a short time ago w. G..
Mccain of Brookvillo ran across thrilling
snake story. The incident happened to
man named Barber of Heating, whom
Mr.. Mccain employed to haul his camping
outfit from the railroad station to the
camp In the woods. AS they were driv-
ing along they stopped at q little spring
by tho roadside to get drink. They were
In "snaky" country, and before he
stopped down to the spring, which was
thickly surrounded with weeds and bushes,
Mr.. McCaih noticed that Barber eyed the
surroundings pretty closely.
~ had CLOSE call at that spring." said
the old fellow after the two had drunk.
~ came along one time and stopped as
usual to get drink. AS had no cup,
lay down on my face, and while drinking
felt something wet strike my forehead.
thought 1t was wet twig sticking out of
the bank from which the wator tricklod.
AS raised up, however, my gaze encoun-
tered the head Of IN enormous rattlesnake
protruding from the weeds, and the sensa
tion felt was the reptiles tongue. In
other words 1t was licking my forehead.
with n single bound was out of that,
but made no effort to kill that snake. II

power, and 1 lot 1t go. The recollection Of
that experience makes mo sick and faint

"When you turn into Wisconsin street
from Milwaukee street, at the northeast
corner-the postoffice--the chances are
that you will sneeze." This was the state
ment ono young man made to another as
they drow near the spot. The person who
was following them was an interested OBJ
server, but didn't expect to see or hear one
half he did. AS soon as the young men
turned In on the ancient and well worn
flags one Of them dispossessed himself of a
very emphatic Ike. chew!
Then the men laughed, stopped and
looked around. The man who did not
sneezc insisted that the sneezer had put
up job on him; had some red pepper
about his clothes or had been saving the
sneezo TO spring it on him at this point In
their ramblc, or something Of that sort.
= But while they were talking it over anoth-
or man, q woman and little girl turned
the corner. The man and woman sneezed
and the first sneeZer looked wise and said,
81 told you so"
The person who observed all this wan
dered up Milwaukee street, and with an
unconcerned and businesslike look on his
face approached the corner as If he were
innocent Of what was going on. AS he was
about TO turn the corner there was tic
hllHB SCHsuUlOu III Ills uOSc, anu HC StODDcu,
took out his handkerchief, threw back his
head, then lowered 1t and beat them all.
Those who heard it believed he had torn
the handkerchief into threads. BY this
time the performance began to draw a
crowd, and it was interesting for an hour.
Why Is there so much sneezing at this
corner? The crowd couldn't settle the
question satisfactorily, because the young
man who first called attention to it insist
ed that the time of day had nothing to do
with ii. Nevertheless nearly every one be-
lieved there was draft of cool air circling
the postoffice block, which has an alley on
the north and west sides and therefore
stands out away from all other buildings.
Coming into Wisconsin street when the
sun Is shining brightly, with head erect,
one catches both the damp air-if it is
damp-and the suns rays together, pro-
ducing what is commonly called sneezing
"a convulsive motion and an explosive
sound. This was the opinion of most Of
the crowd.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

BISMAROK'S BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Spac
For Brains Is Extraordinary.

Measurements Showing That the Space
For Brains Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck's head, says correspondent OF
L'Anthropologie, has been carefully meas
ured according to the rules Of anthro-
pometrics by the sculptor Schaph Of Ber-
lin, who made the statue of Bismarck set
that Bismarck has head OF extraordina-
rily large size. Measured horizontally from
the frontal bone to the occiput, the head
Is 212 millimeters, or more than 8.35%
inches. The distance from temple to tenn
pie Is 10 millimetors or trife over 6. 60
inches. Bismarck's Uranium has capac-
ity Of 1865 cubic centimeters, and his
brain should weigh 1, S87 grams.
These figures become especially signif-
can't when compared with the measure
ments of other heads. OF 3, 500 heads
ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally from
front to back, and that one measured 2O6
millimeters, or six millimeters less than
Bismarck The mean measurements of
30 members Of the Natural Science society
at Carlsruhe were 1876 millimeters from
front to back by 155 millimeters from
temple to temple. The biggest Of these
heads measured 205 by 169 millimeters
The cubic measurement OF 245 German
heads was nearly 500 cubic contimeters
under Bismarok's, while tho estimated
weight Of Bismarck's brain Is 85 per cent
above that OF the average adult European
brain. In fact Bismarck Is man not only
OF blood and iron, but as well OF brains.

"Why, John, do you think 1t Is safe to

Mr.. Rising looked seriously at his young

unable to convince the court that he did

ably good time for q mop professional on
