her friends are numbered by scores.

Cooking In the Gutter.

A member of the Seventh Regiment,

perences with a tin dish and a camp
fire during the late street car riots in
Brooklyn. He has been noted In his
own circle for his delicate taste in the
matter Of cookery, and his skill with
the chaflng- dish. He not only knew
when q thing was cooked exactly right.
but he could cook 1t Just right himself.
only he was so excessively fastidious
that he must have just such q dish In
which to do it
Now he was left to shift for himself
in the street. with nothing but tin
dish as a cooking utensil. Fortunate
ly," he says, 1.-THE dish had a cover and
a handle. and after l became convinc-
ed that there was no help for 1t, made
a few experiments and found the Ne.
suits delicious.
1.-The value Of q wood fire had neve.
been apparent to me before, but tell
you it Is wonderful. Why, never ate
such potatoes as I baked in the en-
bers. And the surrounding cobble-
stones kept my coffee as hot as I want.
ed it while was doing my other cook
ing.
1.-The dolngs Of some Of the men were
laughable. They had less idea Of cook
cry than the average servant. They
would insist upon building a fire with
the flames reaching heavenward, and
then they wondered why their food
was burned on one side and raw on the
other. One fellow who wanted ham
and eggs put the eggs in. shells and
all. A beautiful mess!
"As for myself. will stand up here
after for the regimental tin dish, and
a wood fire with a cobblestone founda-
ton. I lived like a prince; and the
next time my appetite is spoiled by the
atrocities Of French cooks, am going
to pitch my tent in the back yard, and
