ton was served with brussels sprouts
and grand display Of violets. When
this was eaten, the party re-entered
their carriages and drove to the Wal
dorf- Astoria, where they finished the
dinner amid a most gorgeous spread Of
orchids.
This progressive plan will no doubt
be initiated, as Mr.. Stewart is great
swell and has many admirers, the idea
being that persons who want to eat
should go to the places where the va
rious viands they crave are served in
the best style. Nearly all the famous
cooks in New York have their special
ties. You go to one place for fish, to
another for joints, to another for French
concoctions and others will be celebrated
for their salads and their ices. The pro-
prietor of a small Mexican restaurant in
one of the side streets up town is rapid
ly getting rich because some bon vivant
stumbled in there one day and was
pleased with dish of chill conoarne,
of which he boasted among his friends,
and as a consequence all the "chappies"
are eating the hot stuff as a matter Of
fashion. Another small place kept by
an Englishman is famous for chops and
cheese, and, according to the progressive
plan, people who follow fads must here
after chase their dinners all over New
York, eating it in sections instead of
adopting the department store policy
and getting everything under the same
roof. William e. Curtis in Chicago

COUGHED UP AN OYSTER.
Indiana Farmer Relieved OF n Live One
After Two Years of Suffering.

Indiana Farmer Relieved of n Live One
After Two Years of Suffering.
For more than two years Thomas
Gossett, a farmer living near Seymour,
Ind, has been constant sufferer from
emaoiation, attributed by some physi-
clans to dyspepsia and called consump-
ton by others, but none of many doc
tors could understand his case or afford
him any relief for malady they re-
garded incurable.
A few days since, during a severe fit
of coughing, he threw out of his stom-
ach substance that in texture, size and
general appearance very closely resem-
bled large and apparently living oys-
ter. He began to improve at once and
he is recovering rapidly, but all the
doctors are more than ever puzzled

HARD TASK FOR A WOMAN.
Mrs. Caroline Smith Decided That She
Would Not Talk Through Lent.


Mrs. Caroline Smith of Binghamton
is keeping Lent in manner that few
women have found possible. Mrs. Smith
is very entertaining conversationalist,
but with the beginning of the Lenten
season she announced her intention of
remaining dumb for 40 days, and so far
she has succeeded. She does not even
allow herself the indulgence of exercis-
ing her thoughts OH paper, but makes
all her wants known by signs.
Mrs. Smith has said that this is the
hardest test that woman can be put
to, and many side bets have been made
among her relatives as to her ability to
remain silent for three weeks more.
Mrs. Smiths silence will end on Easter
day, and those who are betting on her
ability to carry out her design have
promised her a purse of $40 if she sue

A Song OF Liberty.

Across the land, from strand to strand,
Loud ring the bugle notes,
And freedoms smile, from isle to isle,
Like freedoms banner floats.
The velvet wales sing "Iiberty"
To answering skies serene;
The mountains. sloping to the sea,
Wave all their flags Of green.
The rivers, rushing to the deep,
The joyful notes prolong,
And all their waves In glory leap
To that immortal songl
One song of liberty and life
That was and Is to be
Till tyrant flags are trampled rags
And all the world Is freei
Il rises, and an echo comes
From chained and troubled isles
And roars like oceans thunder drums
Where glad Columbia smiles.
Where, throned and great, she sits In state
Beneath her flag of stars,
Her heroes blood the sacred flood
That crimsoned all its barsi
Hail to our countryi
Strong she stands,
Nor fears the war drums beat,
The sword of freedom In her hands,
The tyrant at her feeti

audience.
The big race was won out by Miss Til
lie Anderson, she defeating Miss Lizzie
CLAW by little over wheels length.
The squirt at the finish was hot one
and lasted for five minutes. Miss Peter

night befoee, made several Intellectual at
tempts TO gain on the Others and set the
pace a greater part OF the evening, She
made number OF fine spurts, but could
not get ahead OF the other two riders
who rode as they had never ridden before.
The crowd seemed to favor Miss Peterson
and she was cheered every time she took
the pace. The last FIVE minutes OF the
race she got off the track and let the
other two finish.
Miss Anderson took the pace and set
such clip for the last five minutes that
Miss CLAW could never pass her Miss
Anderson rode. like a cyclone and never
let up on the terrible pace until the race
was over. Five or six times did Miss
CLAW try to run ahead on the corners,
but the other rider..was in for the race
and she got it. The last three laps they
fairly flew on the track and when they
cut the corners their wheels shook as II
they would 60 over. but try az she would
Miss Anderson had the lead and che kept
it to the end.
The sympathies OF the crowd were
about evenly divided and both riders
were cheered when they seemed to be get

went up shook the hall. The outcome OF
the race was of particular interest to
these two riders as they are hot RIVALS
on the track and very closely matched,
however, Miss CLAW recently won from
Miss Anderson in their matched race at
Chicago. Every time they meet in race
il is for blood.
In the nine hours the riders covered 20S

A Brilliant Idea.

A German paper tells an amusing story
of Cumberland, the thought reader. On
journey from Vienna to st. Petersburg
he entertained his fellow passengers by
guessing their thoughts One Of the trav-
elers, Polish Jew, who took the whole
thing for hoax, offered to pay Cumber-
land the sum of 80 rubles If he could d.
vine his thoughts. Visibly amused, Cum
berland acceded to his request and said:
You are going to the fair at Mini
Novgorod, where you intend to purchase
goods to the extent of 90, 900 rubles, after
which you will declare yourself a bankrupt
and compound with your creditors for 8
per cent"
On hearing these words the Jew gazed
at the speaker with reverential awe. He
then, without uttering q syllable, drew
out OF the leg Of his boot shabby purse
and handed him the 90 rubles, whereupon
the great magician triumphantly In
quired, "Then i have guessed your
thoughts, chr" NO." replied the Jew,
but you have given me brilliant Idea"

The front end OF the buffer-piston
is fixed to the front end of the
mounting and to the rear end oi
the buffer is attached a strong
spade. On firing, the spade is
forced into the ground, thereby
arresting all movement rearwards,

forces the piston-rod into the

After the energy of the recoil has
been absorbed, the power stored
up in the spring serves to run the
gun forward into the firing position
again. The gun itself rests in

the front part of the trail. so that
it can be trained 8 deg. each way
