But speaking of souvenirs, there's a
young woman artist here in town whose
studio is a perfect wonderland or cuilos
and beautiful things. All her friends
never a one of them but picks up some
thing for her in his travels. just recently
a woman friend of hers came in one AFTER
noon with a souvenir of the great
naval battle last July, a lump of sugar
from the sugar bowl of the captain Of the
Oregon. The little white cube lay on q
table. Presently somebody came IN, ana
hearing the tale, asked to see the lump.
Then everybody looked for and nobody
found it till very much embarrassed wom-
an in one corner 'fessed up.
Il didn't know it was anything but an
ordinary lump of sugar" said she, ana
/ dropped it into the sugar bowl over there.
There are ten Jumps of sugar in the sugar
bowl. One of them came from the Oregons
and which is which no man till the end OF
time will ever be able to find out
If you happen TO have any friends down
in Ponce, and have any hope or getting
souvenirs from that interesting place, must
tell you right here and now just what YOU
want In the drawing room of an extreme
ly handsome woman way out at the END OF
Fourteenth street, hangs the most charming
Ponce souvenir / have seen yet. 1t was
brought to her by her husband who went
down there with the postal authorities and
she uses it for wall pocket, but 1t Is i'm
reality the shell of an immense tortoise
polished to perfection. 1t is not only q
thing of beauty, but as means of proyid-
ing umbrellas against possible rainy uays
It is better investment than diamonds.
That same pretty woman has another
treasure fit to make the mouth of a cera-
mic collector water, and it's a treasure with
a story to it, Her husband who is connects
ed as I said before, with the Postoftice De-
partment in some travelling capacity, hap
pened to be in a remote and forlorn town
in one of the CarOlinas not long ago. and
stopped for supper at a farmhouse There
We're potatoes on the bill OF fare, and they
came to table in a covered dish of precisely
the color Of molasses candy. The cover. OF
an exquisite shape, bore a bas-relief design
laraf sI1ifp took q
ner He bought the dish for--well, almost
nothing, and sent it home 1t is genuine
Wedgewood, and almost If not quite the first
piece of the ware ever brought to America
What it is really worth makes me shiver to
think Of.

Fresh Meat ON a Transport.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-GeneraI Miles
to-day made public the following bearing on
the quality of the army beef which he had
received from Governor Theodore Roose-
welt, under date Of Albany, Jan. 8:
MY Dear General Miles: 1 do not distinct
~ understand this beef controversy, but pos
sibly what / have to write may be of some
use The canned cOrnbeef we found to be
good. The so-called canned roast beef that
was issued to us for travel rations, both
on the transport and on the train, and
which we occasionally got even at the front,
was practically worthless. Unless very
hungry the men would not touch it, and
even when suffering from lack of food they
never ate fifth of it, At the best it was
tasteess: at the worst it was nauseating.
There was also a supply of beef Tin the
shape of quarters) which was put aboard
our transport at Tampa. 1t was supposed to
be fitted by some process to Withstand trop-
zeal heat. 1t at once became putrid and
