A CULINARY SAINT.
Celebrated No Less for Her Piety
Than for Her Pies.

Few, perhaps, knew before that
cooks had saint of their own who,
kind lady, WILL doubtless, in the here
after, make the grilling of them as
pleasant as possible. Santa Zita, as
she is named, lived, it appears, at
Genoa, and was there canonized, says
the New York Mercury. She could, so
runs the legend, cook better than any
chef within 300 miles Of the town
which, as We all know, is noted for it's
wonderful soups and dumpIings,
though, of course in the latter indi-
gestible article of food outrivaIed by
Vienna, since it is one of the chief ar
ttcles in the religion of gastronomy
that it is only in the kaiserstadt that
the "glose" Is in perfection. Santa Zita
was, it seems, not less famous for her
piety than for cooking, and was con-
slant attendant at the cathedral dur
ing high mass.
One day, however, she fell into a
trance, o-called-though, in plain Eng
fish, a good, sound sleep-during which
she snored a trombone accompaniment
and quite forgot that she had to pro-
duce an exceptionally fine DINNER for
a large company. On awakening she
hurried forth from the sacred edif1ce
in a way which was far indeed from
her wont, but on reaching the kitchen,
what was her surprise and delight to
find a party Of cherub celestials busy
cooking the required dinner. She did
not interfere, but was at first not I'M
willing to accept the praise which was
lavished on her culinary success. She
soon reported, however, and told the
world the truth about the spiritual and
miraculous help she had received, and
1t was agreed on all sides that she de-
served to be canonized. Accordingly
she became Santa Zita

over half of the dancers were known

over half of the dancers were known
to him.
The hour of midnight was arriving,
and the young ladies were in quite a
ftutter over the last privilege Of the
Year that was to be allowed them A
few moments before the hour the re-
porter felt gentle tap on his shoulder,
and looking around beheld the Queen
of the Night" in all her nocturnal
grandeur.
"Oh, have come to ask you about
something" she excitedly inquired
DO you know who j HIS? want
to ask him for the ladies' choice. / am
so afraid that L might make a mis-
take, and ask some one else"
The reporter was quite conversant
with matters. Everybody knew that
j H had more than friendly feel
ing for her. but he also knew that the
some one else was in the same boat.
He now knew the young ladys feel
lngs on the subject, and could impart
valuable information if he so wished
j H strutted about as the kings
fool, While the other was a German
prince
"All is fair in love and war;" he
thought. and why not play a little joke
with Cupid.
The music was tuning up for the
final waltz, which would Immediately
be followed by the grand march, I'M
masking and supper.
Il think that the German prince
would be an excellent partner for you'
he said.
The Queen of the Night" rushed off,
and when next seen her graceful waist
was encircled by the arm of the Ger
man prince in the waltz This was
ended, and the grand march followed.
1t was now but a few minutes before
II o'clock, and everybody was anxious
ly awaiting. Tick, tick, tick flew the
old year. The Queen of the Night

seemed happy as she leaned upon the
arm of her prince, and a sweet smile
played beneath the mask
The hour was gone, and the master
Of ceremonies cried ''Unmaskr'
All was now bubbling over with mer-
riment; jokes and happy new year
greetings were heard on every side,
and the hall. For moment the re-
porter forgot his joke, engrossed in
the hustle that was taking place. Soon
the room was nearly empty, and but
single couple remained.
The distant voices in the other room
came like a distant runbling, but
through it he heard the German prince
ask: Edith, won't you come to sup
peri"
YES" came in nearly a sob, and as
they left two eyes were turned towards
the reporter that reminded him of a
picture he had once seen, that repre-
scented the dying Of a fawn.
The room was now empty, and the
reporter left for the office to write his
story.

GEORGE TALKS TO SINGLE TAKERS
Tom. l.. Johnson and G. I'll. Robert
OF Cleveland.

Henry George, father of the single
tax movement; Tom L. johnson, presi-
dent of the Single Tax League of the
United States, and George H Robert
son, editor of the Cleveland Recorder,
were guests Of honor at the Single
Tax clubs meeting Friday night. Mr.,
Johnson was greeted with cheers. He
went on to say, after talking briefly
on single tax, that every country ex-
cept the United States has provided
an elastic currency for the people, SO
that it contracts and expands auto
matically with business, but that Of
the United States contracts when it
should most expand"
Henry George was given an equally
warm reception and congratulated the
club upon its prosperity. He said
single takers were in both the silver
and gold camps, but he was earnest
for the single tax. He went on to say:
What we propose in the single tax
movement is absolute free trade, alb
solute Democracy in the Jeffersonian
sense. l am as certain that our great
truth must come to the front as am
that 1 must die. We may help it along,
but it will come anyway of itself
The Illinois labor statistics, Mr..
George added, were most meritorious
features of Gov. Altgeld's administra-
ton.
After Mr.. Robertson had spoken Mr..
George was again called out. The
great single taxer went on to say:
The men we really want are the
poor men. We want these farmers
who think that by a change Of cur
rency there will be better times. They
zee the effect, but do not know what
the trouble is. We know what the
trouble is, and we must show them
The process will be slow. Effort after
effort must be made. Our PROSECUTING
must be done not only by books, but
by hand-to-hand intercourse, man with
man. Every great idea must also be
tried. Soon it will be the turn of the
single tax to be tried, and then it will
not go back. The time often comes
when men rise from the ground to
support some great movement, and
that time will soon come for the single
tax
H. H. Hardinge and Walter Cooling
also spoke.

HIS NEW YEARS TRICK.
Adventure OF a Reporter at the
Masquerade BAIL

Il was the glad New Year, and one Of
the social organizations Of the citv had
made preparations to see the. old wear
out and the new year in together
Preparations we're all completed and in
masque costumes the last hours of the
closing year would be merriiy snent
AT the tap Of the midnight stroke the
nlaskers would bare their faces and
reveal their identity to each other
While an extraordinary dance pro
gramne would constitute the main
pleasure Of the evening, the last dance
of the departing year would be allowed
the ladies, it being the Last day of lean
year
To reporter, the last day Of the
year is not much different from any
other. He has about the same amount
of work to do on this day as any. 1t
therefore fell to the lot Of one Of these
wanderers Of the night to be assigned
to do this particular masquerade.
He had made no preparations for the
event, and consequently arrived in
civile. The dance was at its height
when he arrived. The music vfbrated
forth in enhancing strains and the
masqueraGers were in the throes of
merriment. Some wore costumes that
were grotesque and humorous; others
were historical but they all united in
making a Wierd effect The reporter
knew none, but nearly all seemed to
know MIN. His hand was shaken until
he was tired while his name was re-
peatedly whispered in his ears. 1t was
all mystifying to him, and for some
time he was allowed to retain his ic-
norance. Reportorial instincts will not
remain quiet long, and inside of an
hour after arriving at the ball room,
