the rate OF 60 cents per day, concerning

Referring to a tropic ration General
Egan said: IL have recommended TO
the department the addition of a little
more sugar ard a little dried fruit for
the soldiers in the tropics. but otherwise
the ration is good. Those who talk
against the eating of meat in the tropics
do not stop to consider that the
reason the native of the tropics
does not eat meat is not because he
don't want it, but because he can't at
ford it. And when you look at the native
you see he is a product of his food ard
there is nothing to him. The English

X. Henry is the greatest human be-
ing in America"
The editor is in earnest, too, for he
goes on to saw out planks for Mrs.
Henry's platform. He says that q
plank should be adopted reassertlng
the religious liberties guaranteed by
the constitution and protesting against
the payment of chaplains for the two
houses of congress. This is not all.
After doing away with the chaplains,
Mrs. Henry is to stand upon a plank
making women eligible to any office in
the government, and giving them the
right to carry concealed weapons
Children shall be spanked, if neces-
sary, in order to make them learn their
lessons. The right of jurisdiction as
to marriages shall be taken away from
the states, and requiring the establish
ment of international currency and
Recommending to the government own
ership of railroads and telegraphs.
There is no doubt that if Mrs. Henry
will take her hands out of the pie
crust and go seriously to work on
these lines she will create a sensation.
This is especially true Of the chaplain
feature. The chaplains in Washington
have been having an easy thing from
time immemorial on one prayer day.
Mrs. Henry will have them pray more
or lose their jobs.

THE FOURTH AS A DEATH DAY.

Death has come to many eminent
men on the anniversary of American
independence, and the following,
among others: Samuel Richardson
novelist, in 1851: Fisher Ames, states
man and president of Harvard college,
in 1904; William Kirby, naturalist, in
1850. Besides, as every patriotic Amer
lean should remember, though doubt
less it is sometimes forgotten. two
presidents of the United States were
called from earth on July John Ad-
ans and Thomas Jefferson.
John Adams succeeded Washing
ton and Thomas Jefferson succeeded
John Adams. To Jefferson is credited
the authorship Of the declaration of
| independence. Adams and Jefferson
though often differing on political top
les, were friends to the last, and IN
spite of the fact that they lived far
apart and were infrm at the last they
kept up their intimacy by means
| correspondence to within a short tim,
| OF their death, which occurred almost
| simultaneously in 1926, on the fiftiCtE
anniversary Of the declaration whose
signing is celebrated on independence
day.
On the tomb of Jefferson at Month
cello, he is described as the author o
the declaration, the founder of religious
freedom in Virginia and of the Univer
city Of Virginia.: but there is a curiou
omission of the fact that he was twic
president of the United States.

WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
Kentucky Woman Who Aspires to Be
Chief Magistrate.

In all probability the world will
shortly know more of Mrs. Josephine
K. Henry than it does at present
Mrs. Henry is a Kentucky woman
whose declared ambition it is to be-
come president of the United States
Up to date she is believed to be the
only member OF her sex who intends
to initiate the famous Belva Lockwood
Mrs. Henry, who lives at Versailles,
Ky, combines the rare faculty of good
cooking and good craftsmanship. She
has not the shallow volubility or the
Quixotism of Mrs. Lease, and the legis-
lation favored by her is not of the
mouse and caramel order Mrs. Henry
has earnest supporters, too, among the
newspapers of her county. The Blue
Grass Blade, after throwing several
handsprings in her honor and slosh-
ing around for four columns, says:

and greatest greatness Mrs. Josephine

THE TOWN OF NOGOOD.

My friend, have you heard of the town
of Nogood
On the banks Of the River Slow,
/ Where blooms the Waitawhile flower
fair,
Where the Somctimeorother scents the
air,
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province Of Leterslide;
Misunderstanding is native there,
It's the home of the reckless Idon'tcare,
Where the Giveitups abide
The town is as old as the human race,
And it grows with the flight of years.
It is wrapped in the fog of idler's
dreams,
It's streets are paved with discarded
schemes
And sprinkIed with useless tears.
The Collegebredfool and the Rich
man'sheir
Are plentiful there, no doubt:
The rest of its crowd are a motley crew
With every class except one in view
The Foolkiller is barred out.
The town of Nogood is all hedged about
By the Mountains of Despair
No sentinel stands on it's gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there
My friend from the dead alive-town
Nogood
If you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good
and i'll,
Take this for your motto, 81 can,
will"
And live up to it each day

Warlike Decorations as Seen Nowadays.

But a more thoroughly American
menu was that recently given by the
Riverside Yacht club of New York, on
the occasion of its summer opening.
The menu card was superbly en-
bossed American flag and in each of
the stripes was a course. Every dish
had only its American title and next
to it such sentiments as these:

and in the new symbolism of the din
ing table. A rather unique effect at
an Astor luncheon in New York were
hard tack crackers sent from camp
by Col. John Jacob Astor. The story
that is told simply relates that they
were served, not that they were
eaten.
Another hostess, however, improved
on the Astor fad by having hard
tack souvenirs with the names of the
guests engraven on them. And Mrs.
Burton went even a step further
than this by having dainty cakes
made in exact imitation of the hard
tack crackers and serving them with
ices. The imitation was so accurate
that the guests did not eat them. IN
til one more daring or more patriotic
than the rest, nibbled at her cracker.
The next bite dispelled the illusion.
Cannon ball buildings are met with
at every table and even sugar is put
up in bullet shape. Yellow flowers
are out of the question, but every
shade of the national colors is seen in
profusion in the reception room and
dining room floral decorations. In
fact these are invariably set off with
the American flags and eagles and
give the affairs a most effective mar
| tial tone.
The few weddings that have been
celebrated recently, particularly
| those of Mr.. Mackay and Miss Duer
and Mr.. Vanderbilt and Miss Dresser,
the latter in Paris, gave caterers a
splendid opportunity to show their
skill. In the latter case it was a
| French caterer. who surpassed all
his previous efforts by a model of the
Bartholdi statue, draped in American
colors. as a centerpiece at the wed.

American society is nothing if not
patriotic. II has tahooed Paris and
is eating red, white and blue ices. 1t
bars yellow ornaments and has its
cakes served on American flag plat
tiers. The metropolitan tradesmen
who serve society have been forced
to 60 to all manner of extremes to
show the patriotism of their clients,
for no table is now complete unless
it is set off by something of a mar
tial character, such as glace guns and
mortars, candied battleships or star
shaped souvenirs.
At a recent luncheon given TO Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley by a mem
Der Of the cabinet the table fairly
bristled with bayonets. In fact moth
ing was eaten that did not have in
it dash of the war spirit-nothing
except the soup, and that was served

made in the form Of a fortress.
