An Awful Mishap.

Two passengers on an Atlantic liner
one an American and the other an Eng,
lishman, did not exchange the farewell
courtesies when the steamer reached
her pier usual between voyagers who
have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voy.
age. A plausible explanation was
vouchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted in fraternizing with the
American in most obtrusive and an,
noying manner. Within two days OF
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
in apparent dependency, gazing sea.

"Confounded blue this morning, old
chap. What's the matter" And the
Britisher slapped his companion on the
back.
Matter enough" growled the Amer
lean. "Ship's lost; captain don't know
which way to steer. Forgot to wind
the compass last night"
The Englishman listened with mouth
agape. then rushed off to tell his friends
of the consequential mishap. Evident

The Judges AFFIDAVIT.

Some years ago Justice of the Peace
Beasley Of Missouri was personally in
terested in a lawsuit, being party
thereto. 1t was necessary for him to
make an affidav I, and he deprecated
the idea of making it before another
justice or notary and depriying him
self of fee. So he filled out his aft
davit, swore to it before himself, sign
ed it as justice and as witness and
awaited developments. He was sure
that he would win and thus be able to
tax the costs up to the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley, the affidavit was offered in evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that a justice could
not swear himself.
'.Let me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t was handed up to the judge, who
scanned it carefully for few mo-
ments and then asked:
''Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identified
your own signature?"
'That was very easy, your honor"
replied Beasley. 81 borrowed a look
ing glass and went through the formali-
ties before it."
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
jection.-Omaha WOrldHerald.

Caught the Gear.

Peter the Great was once very neatly
caught in trap by jester attached
to the court. The jester was noted for
his cleverness in getting himself and
his friends out of difficulties. 1t hap
pened one day that cousin of his had
incurred the cars displeasure and
was about to be executed. The latter
therefore presented himself before his
imperial majesty to beg for reprieve.
On seeing him approach, the car, di-
vining his errand, cried: ut is no good
to come here. l swear I will not grant
what you are going to ask"
Immediately the jester went down
on his knees, saying, 81 beseech your
imperial highness to put that scamp
cousin Of mine to DEATH"
The car, thus caught in his own
trap, could only laugh and pardon the
condemned man.-Columbiau.

COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
The National Dish, Chupe, and How
1t Is Prepared.

1t Is Prepared.
Tie stoves of the Bolivian Indians
are curious things. A hole Is dug in
the ground about Is inches deep and a
foot square, and over this is built a
roof of clay with holes of different
sizes to receive the various cooking
pots. Roasting Is done on splits pass.
ed through the holes, so that the meat
comes out very much smoked unless
great care is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom Of the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses is "chupe," a sort
Of first cousin to the Irish stew. 1t is
a conglOmerate, composed of irregular
constituents from the animal and vege-
table kingdoms, q mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;
chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots,
barley, corn, rice, onions, yams, ETC.,
chopped up, highly seasoned with pep
pers and herbs and stewed to n con-
sistency of porridge. What happens
to be left from one meal SINNERS in
the pot until the next. If the fire goes
out, the "chupe" is allowed to cool,
but it is warmed up again and a new
supply Of the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities, at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French or
Swiss cooks. the 'chupe" is savory and
palatable, but the farther you go from
the centers of civilization the worse it
gets. One eats it at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation, but finally the stom-
ach rebels, and you limit your diet to
boiled eggs and fruit, which are usual
ly to be obtained, but the experienced
traveller always takes canned meat ard
bread with him.-Sucre (BoliviO Let

STREET PARADE FLOATS.
Many Difficult Problems to BE Met In
Their Construction.

Ihe1r COhstruct1On.
"The making Of decorative street
floats is a difficult trade" said New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty of experience in the line he men-
toned. There are so many things
to be considered. For instance, float
must be able to stand dash of rain.
1t must be light enough to go over any
kind Of street and solid enough to re-
sist a gust of wind, and, most impor-
tant of all, 1t must be SO constructed
that it will appear all right to folks in
upper windows.
"Some years ago a young designer
from the north made several small
models for tableau cars that charmed
everybody who looked at them. They
were certainly very beautiful and nov
ell, but when 1 was called in as an ex-
pert said at once that they wouldn't
do. They were designed to be viewed
from the banquette only, and from a
second story window every particle of
effect would have been lost. More
over, lot of hidden mechanism was
certain to be discovered at any eleva-
ton above Is feet.
"The young artist frankly admitted
1 was right and abandoned the job.
He said it involved entirely too many
optical problems to suit him. When /

culate on a visual sweep Of 80 de-
grees. That goes from the level of
children on the pavement to people
looking almost straight down from the
upper floors Of tall buildings. Unless
such precaution is taken the car is
certain to be a failure" New Orleans

School Notes.

The lenses for the B Botany class have
come and the class is now prepared foI
good work in their Botany.

give the regular trl-weekly program
which was published two weeks ago in
these columns, tomorrow The public
is invited to attend.
The class reception which the Juniors
gave to the Seniors, was held last Tues.
day evening at the home of Russell Mott
Being the eve Of st. Valentines day,
matters of the heart were given unusual
prominence. The decorating committee
had been busy with the red and green
class colors Of the Seniors and the blue
and white of the Juniors, and the rooms
presented charming appearance
Ropes and festoons of blue and white
bunting from which red and green hearts
in unlimited numbers dangled and
danced, ornamented each arch and door
way. The curtains were all spangled
with red and green hearts. In each
room, red and green hearts were sus-
pended from every point and corner.
The fortune teller's tent in blue and
white was covered with red and green
hearts put on in mysterious sevens and
thirteen 8. A number of shadow pictures
of students and teachers had been taken
and posted up in various parts of the
the house and with pencils and pure
white hearts the guests mingled to-
gether, wondering, surprising, guessing.
Lavisa Overholtzer was the only one
who got every one right and she re.
ceived a handsome box of stationery as
her reward. Mr.. Wilson entertained the
company with some Of his hypnotizing
exhibits and the girls had their fortunes
told. A few of the-young men also
dared to question the future and much
excitement prevailed Broken hearts
with the typical blue and white bows
went seeking mates for supper. In the
dainty refreshments the persistent heart
appeared in the sandwiches and candy,
and the blue and white in the ice cream.
Elegant frappe was served during the
entire evening. A valentine box was
opened to the music of FACILITATING
hearts and some elegant creations in
that line distributed. The occasion was
one which the classes participating will
not soon forget. 1t touched their hearts.

classes: Seniors, Wren Graham, Lavisa
