The Baked Bean in the West

One of the blessings of the war to this part
of America was the dissemination of taste
and liking for Boston baked beans. Thou
sands of young men in the great section ex-
tending from Texas to Nebraska were first
introduced to the wholesome and palatable
baked bean in the army. In its efforts to
find a food suitable for men unacquainted
with army rations the commissary depart
ment hit upon canned Boston beans as a
convenient and nourishing article OF diet,
easily obtained and requiring no special skill
in its preparation.
These young men now return to the village
and farm and to the western cities with a
knowledge and admiration of the fine brown
Boston bean that will make this food no
longer sectional, but national. Through
this breaking down of the barriers between
the east and the west great good will result
in modifying the false ideas of each other
hitherto entertained by otherwise patriotic
persons.
With its flavor of tomatoes and dash OF
fine western pork the Boston baked bean is a
notably American dish, a credit to the nation
and an honor to New England. In New
York it is the friend Of the poor and proud
youth who gains renewed courage and hope
from nickels worth of the baked beans.
There is about it something peculiarly
cheering that lessons the gloom of hard luck
and fortifes the spirit for renewed en-
deavor. Here's to the Boston baked bean,
one of the best friends of mankind kansas

Big Men and Big Noses

Cyrano de Bergerac is remembered because
of his large nose. Few know that he was a
poet, and fewer still know his poetry. The
nose is conspicuous feature of history. The
length of Cleopatra's is said to have figured
in Roman politics, and scandal grew out
of it which ended in the rum and death OF
Antony and the establishment OF an empire
which lasted thousand years. Napoleon
would not promote man who had not a
large nose. He himself was we'll favored in
this respect. Caesar was "the hook-nosed
Roman" All American statesmen have
been noted for this feature. Old men tell
of our own Benton, who used to shake his
nose like an elephants proboscis when he got
excited. 1t seems to be the law that all
great men have great noses But let no one
think that the converse of this is true, that
all men who have great noses are great men
Such a conclusion would lead to confusion
and needless pain and isappointment.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Growth Of Womam's Clubs

1t is evident from the tremendous rate Of
growth in the Federation of Women's Clubs,
from the increase in membership from year
to year, and from the amplifcation of the
work undertaken by the clubs, that these or
carnations have aroused widespread ear
ncstness among American women, and that
they form new feature in American life.
The Importance of that feature will grow
palmer to the general public as time goes
on, and it is worth recording that this club
development has been accomplished at no
loss of true womanly sentiment, but rather
with gain in the shape of an upbuilding of
character and a decided Quickening of moral
perception among the members-Boston

Gomez's Skillful Argument

Gen. Gomez may not and perhaps should
not get all he asks for his army. but he right
ly presses the question he deals with for solu.
ton, and in doing this it is to his credit to
note that his demand for pay of the troops
is not made as condition precedent to any
other provision in their behalf, as of gov
ernment employment, for instance, while, ON
the other hand, the same spirit, it seems
should have had utterance in notifying re-
viving industries of the island where estab-
lished, and as fast as established on a secure
basis as regards means and the steady pro-
lection of law, that his men were entitled,
according to their skilled or unskilled des.
erts, to some consideration by employers Of

Anxious Spanish Bondholders

The holders of Spanish bonds bought them
at rates which they considered good in.
vestment, and they took them subject to any
contingencies that might arise affecting their
value and security. The government that
issued them still exists and is responsible,
and to that, and that alone, the Spanish
creditors must look for payment. The
United States has pletheric treasury, but
there is not dollar of American money
