MEALS MAKE TROUBLE.
30 Says Sole mon Sloan, Who Would
Do Away With Them.


Do Away With Them.
Mr.. Editor:
If were boss
We would have no more meals.
The American people have no time for
meals.
Nine times out of ten man gets up so
late that he has to bolt his breakfast In
order to reach his Office or place Of busi-
ness.
The children are late getting up and
have to rush through breakfast to get to
school on time.
The wife and mother is generally SO
busy hurrying up the cook. hurrying up
her husband. hurrying up the children,
that she hasn't time to eat her own
breakfast properly.
When luncheon time comes. it is the
same old hustle. Watch the men in the
restaurants. They snatch :. are
off IN thu IL else of to play q
ga...> h.lllalus.
The quick lunch" habit is strong
and growing one.
School children hurry home. hurry
through their luncheon. hurry back to
school,
When dinner comes, there is more lei
sureA-sOmetimes
Frequently there is some one going
somewhere-it may be the cook. The
man is anxious to get away to his club.
or if he lives in New York and is in poll
tics to where he ''hangs out"
Besides not having time for meals,
meals are the cause Of too many family
fights.
The man Genes home late. The dinner
is spoiled. The cook is angry. The mis-
tress is cross. There is trouble to be
found If any one is locking for it.
Then. too. there is the trouble of peo-
pie dropping in to meals. The average
man Of small salary spends good deal
more Of it than he wants to by having
people to meals.
One extra meal costs little. but when
you have 50 people to dinner in the course
of year you have bought several pairs
of shoes.
American people get little real pleas
ure out Of their meals. Meals at home
are not attractive or you would see more
homes and fewer restaurants.
Meals can be avoided. II enough in
ducement is offered, science will quickly
furnish a substitute.
Offer a $4,000 prize for a satisfactory
substitute for meals. and you will get
dozen. any one Of which will take Just
about the time it takes to brush your
hair or tie your shoes.
If a substitute for meals is found. think
Of the time that would be saved, the
quarrels avoided. the indigestion obvi-
ated. the money accumulated.
And if l were boss we would have
substitute for meals.-Solomon Sloan in
New York Herald.

Lord Kitchener Is said to be very
don newspapers. But they come rather
nicely when military man does
something which entities him to popu-
lar commentator. Perhaps If Lord
Kitchener and other British generals
in South Africa should do something of
which the British people could approve
he would change his mind about the
newspapers.

Tho Chrysanthemum Habit.


We are now in the midst Of the sea-
Aon' when in the floral realm the
chrysantl,elnum reigns supreme. She
Is for the time more than queen" As
the bold and aggressive chrysanthe-
mum rears her head the rose sinks into
lnsignificance, and the modest violet
goes into obscurity.
Is 1t because this flower typifies our
age, because it is big and Haunting,
that it becomes social leader? Like
pome other social leaders, it's origin IL
humble, and one fancies there Is about
It Il suggestion Of the wayside smart
weed. At least the smartness Is there.
The chrysanthemum has not delicacy
pr subtlety, and it Is without that
greatest Of floral charms. perfume, but
It has bigness and strength. and these
are qualities to which the world 10
wont to bow with homage and respect.
That great lover of beauty and ex-
ponent of good taste in decorative art.
william Morris, would, we fear, have
frowned upon the present day adora'
, ton of the chrysanthemum. The poet
socialist used frequently to deplore
overartificiality in flowers and warn
his readers and hearers against the
double flowers. which. he declared,
looked like Jumps Of cut paper"
Speaking of refined and artistic
tastes, does there not seem to he
tendency, somewhat too prevalent and
quite regrettable, for things loud
and snowy rather than tasteful and
harmonious in the matter Of home dec
orations and even in personal adorn-
ment? The desire for highly colored
gewgaws seems not to be lessening. AZ
an evidence Of which one has only to
take q walk through the large stores
In almost any city and view the name
less nothings there gorgeously dis
played. In time these things find their
way to parlor cabinets and mantels
and eventually find dust covered OBJ
scurity in garrets and storerooms. They
may crafty a passing fancy, but do
they not cheaper life and impart
tawdryness to home decorations1
Something Of the same tendency 10
sometimes noted in gorgeousness or
coloring and grotesqueness Of design
In wall papers. carpets and furniture.
Doubtless the influence Of William
Morris, unquestionably the highest au'
thority in the matter Of interior house
decorations. is still keenly felt, and his
followers are doing much to develop
better taste for color and design. His
ideas Of simplicity and harmony have
taken root in many quarters, but 70

that ""simplicity Of life begetting sim
plicity Of taste-that Is, love for
sweet and lofty things-is Of all mat"
tiers the most necessary for the birth
of the new and better art we crave
for?'

The Risks of War.

The Risks Of War.
Eugland's losses In South Africa, re-
sharks The Scientific American, are
large compared with very recent wars
because there has been no great strug-
gle between two civilized nations since
the Franco German war, and In light
Ing with half civilized peoples the per
centages of loss have invariably been
an one way-in favor Of the modern
equipped armies.
The risks of war have never been
quite 80 great as the inventors OF the
weapons would lead US to believe. The
climate in many wars has been a Tar
greater enemy than the bullets and
cold steel Of the soldiers. Recent sta
tistics show that the number Of our
soldiers killed In battle in the Philip
pines in the last four months Of the
old year was only 361 and the number
who died from wounds and accidents
200. while those who died Of disease
were 762. In the Cuban campaign the
deadly work Of the climate was even
more effective In it's results.
An interesting item Of fact is cleaned
from the Crimean war literature that
10 further verified by some of the naval
battles Of our recent war. The Russian
forces fired 45,OOO.OOO rounds Of shots
and killed $4,000 men, or one soldier to
every 910 shots fred.
Since the Crimean war the rapid FIR
ing guns have gpeatly increased the
efficiency Of the artillery and infantry.
and the number of shots that can be
fred in a given time has multiplied
several times over. But the number
Of fatal wounds inflicted by the mod
ern small bullets has decreased. In the
Cuban war about 90 out Of every 118
American soldiers shot made complete
recoveries.
The percentages Of loss in the South
African battles have not been very
great, as statistics tend to show. In
the fierce battles of the war Of the re-
bellion the percentage Of loss of either
side approached in some instances one
half the total strength of the contend
ing armies. General Hancock's loss at
Fredericksburg was estimated at
about SO per cent. General Longstreet's
at Gaines Mill at so per cent. and in
some half a hundred other battles the
percentage Of loss ranged between is
and IL per cent. Few battles In the
worlds history can show heavier losses
or more stubbornly contested conflicts
than the leading engagements Of the
rebellion. Even at famous Balaklava
the immortalized Light brigade lost
only 81 per cent. and at Metz the ia
nous Gardeschutzen lost 46 per cent.
Even in the loss Of officers the English
in South Africa have not made new
history. In the Franco-German war
the Germans lost at Spicheren. when
they had stormed the French positions.
223 officers and 4,871 men. In the
Peninsular war, at the siege Of Ciudad
Rodrigo, the loss in one desperate
charge was 1900 men and 80 officers,
and when the British assaulted Bada-
joz over 60 officers were lost and a
large number wounded out of q total
fighting force of $4,000.

East of the Cascades it ia supposed
there is about 1O,0m, 100000 feet
more, but the estimates are not 80
exact. The estimates further arrive
at the conclusion that about Ole
fifth OF the original timber resource
of the state has been destroyed by
fire and a slightly larger percentage
has been cut for the mills, leaving
about SIX per cent still available.
The area of merchantable timber
burned over in Washington is fig

RIOT IN OKLAHOMA CITY JAIL
Two Negro Disturbers Summary
DenIf With by Officers

Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 26.-The Okl8homan
of Oklahoma City, says: The prisoners
at the county jail, led by Fred Fletcher
and William Black, two negro burglars,
started an insurrection yesterday morn
ing. For a day or two these negroes had
shown a disposition to mutiny and Tues
day night they began breaking their cots
and raising trouble. Yesterday morning
they resumed their lawIessness, tore the
irons from their cots, broke all the win
dow lights by throwing pieces of coal
through them, and declared they would
kill anyone who entered their cells Jailer
Dixon called on Deputies Brown and
o Brien and Attorney Herbert Mitchell
and the four men went in to straighten
matters out. The rebels were armed with
pieces of iron and started to attack Jailer
Dixon, Mr. Mitchell threw his gun down
on Fletcher and made him drop the iron.
A crack or two on the heads Of the ring
leaders completed the conquest Black
and Fletcher were then shackled and
chained to the bars of their cells and
gave no further trouble. Martin Bates,
the negro who murdered Kid White, was
in the disturbance, but weakened before
the contest reached the acute stage.

WALLS SON GETS JUDGMENT
Against the Santa Fe for SI.25O for
Injuries Sustained.

Guthrie, 0. T., Jan. 26.-Representative
J. c. Walls, who sued the Santa Fe Rail
way Company for $4,000 damages, has ac-
cepted a $3.50 judgment. which by stipu-
lation the company confessed. The
young son Of Mr. Walls was riding a
horse north of Norman when train
came along and whistled in such an I'M
usual and prolonged manner as the plain
tiff claims, that the horse became fright
ened and threw the boy. He sustained
painful and serious injuries and sued the
company through his father for $4,000,
alleging that tne engineer wilfully and
needIessly blew the whistle to see the
horse jump. The railway company, by
the terms of the stipulation entered into
by the respective attorneys confessed
judgment for $3.50
