A Ga.tronomic Cyclone.

All men and women eat. IL they
don't. they won't last long, and no one
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very depend-on-ab By good
eaters | do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though I may include
some Of both, but ] mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either from dys-
pepsia or other form of indigestion, to
quarrel with their food.
Gluttons, however, are not very love-

at a summer resort who every day for
dinner ate II ears of corn from the cob.
That is more than the regulation mid
day feed for a horse. And in the opera
ton she CREASED her hands and her
cheeks, and every now and again her
nose was decorated with the well but
tered grains. She was a sight, and at
the end of the table she bred a famine
that it took walters to relieve. And

Hot Winds Ruin Crops,

From Fort Smith. Ark, comes
the cry that the crop history of

increase in volume, causing
squares, forms and bolls TO shed
Three more days of it will cause
absolute ruin of the entire crop
and death of the plant. In 1896,
it will be remembered, that every

a Ia1r. on d1nenhach .

NJ. Ernest Blum told a joke which
he and some friends played on 0nen-
bach when la Belle Helene" was
about to be produced. The composer
was most anxious that his airs should
not get about before the first night ana
had asked all his company to be most
careful not to let any one hear them,
but his tunes were so catchy that 1t
was impossible 10 help singing them.
One day Blum and his friends were
sitting opposite Offenbach in a cafe
when one of them began to hum lead
ing air Of La Belle Helene"
"Who taught you thatf" cried Omen
bach in a rage.

known It for ages" and they all agreed
that their nurses used to sing 1t to
them when they were children. Pres
entity Albert Wolff, who was one of the
party. began to sing another OF the
| airs.
"Whatr' cried Offenbach, you know
that too?"
81 composed it myself" said Wol1f.
! Offenbach then saw that they were
| playing practical joke on him and de
manded ,he name of the singer who
had sung them the opera. They re-
fused and so the composer threatened
that he would fine every one in the
theater unless they told him. So Blum
| and his friends stood up and began
the first chorus of the first net and de
cIared they would sing the finale before
the whole cafe unless Offenbach re
Tented. The composer. in terror fol

But It viii Cause the Death OF Sew
eral Towns.

Rush Springs, I. T., Ang. s.
The cattlemen now holding leases
in the Comanche country held a
meeting in this city last week for
the purpose of inducing the In
dians to take their 480. 900 acres
grazing allotment in the southeas-
ern corner of the reservation, be-
ginning at the north boundary OF
the timber reserve, near NARROW,
thence west about eighteen miles,
thence south to the Red river, in
cluding all of that area of land In
the southwest corner of the reser-
vation. The Duncan Banner, in
this matter. says:
There is no proposition today
confronting Duncan and other
towns along the Rock Island, that
is fraught with more danger TO
their growth and prosperity and
to the ruination of every business
man and business enterprise
than the one now being advocated
by few selfish cattlemen to have
the Comanche and Kiowa Indians
to take their 100000 acre allot
ment on the east side of the reser-
vation adjoining the towns along
the Rock Island from NARROW to
Red river.
Should the scheme of the cattle.
men work it simply means the
death knell to NARROW, Duncan,
Comanche, Addington, Sugden
Ryan and Terral. But then the
scheme will never be worked.
