HARD TIMES RECALLED
Hr. TugsIe Found Pleasure in Eating
Rattle RnaExaS


Amos P. Tuggle of Rock, Cowley coun-
ty, was in the city yesterday visiting his
old friend and comrade DR.. De Ross
Between Dr. DeRoss and Mr.. Tuggle
there exists a friendship which had its
origin IN joint hardships. that is as
strong as the affinity Of brotherhood
ThiFty-five years ago both of them lived
on mules, horses, coyotes. prairie dogs
and rattlesnakes while they were fighting
the Sioux and Comanches under Little
Thunder and Club Foot in the Powder
river valley of Montana For forty days
or more Mr.. Tuggle ate of the above
named dainties while DR.. DeRoss, who
was attached to the commissary, was
able to get hold Of hard tack at inter
walls Of week or so.
Mr. Tuggle doesn't like horse meat.
He says it is porous like the human flesh
and tastes like the smell of a wet dog.
He speaks highly of mule flesh, and
he wouldn't mind having a mess of It
occasionally at this time while Cowley
county is flowing with milk and honey.
He thinks prairie dog is a little better
than any chicken he has ever tasted in
Kansas, and no fish has ever tickled his
palate more acceptably than nice roast
ed rattlesnake. "I tell you, 1t IS fine"
said Mr.. "Tuggle. and DR.. DeRoss gave a
nod Of approval cit tastes for all the
world like a nice, fat. fresh eel" he said,
"and If it was served at the Carey hotel
and people didn't know what 1t was they
would go crazy over it"
But Mr.. Tuggle draws the line on coy
ote meat, He says he never could go
against it after the first mess. It is hard
and fry and has an Objectionable flavor.
One night Mr.. Tuggle found an Indian
who had some tobacco and he persuaded
him to give him a piece equal to two
chews of it. Tuggle tried TO prolong the
pleasures Of it by only nibbling at it,
but when he went to bed with his bunk
mate that night, the latter turned over
hastily and said: ''Tuggle, you have to-
bacco. I smell it on your breath"
Tuggle couldn't lie to his ''bunky," and
confessed.
Both men sat up that night chewing
tobacco, and had the best time in their
lives.
THAT tobacco" said Mr. ,Tuggle, "was
dearer 10 US than gold.'

RAINs CAIrsE HIGH TInEs.

The water in the Brandywine and
Christiana rivers was unusually high
last night, caused by the heavy rain
which melted the snow in the section
through which the creeks flow. The
Brandywine was high in the park and
also below Market street bridge. Some
of the old wharves we're overhowed,
but no damage was done. The Chris
tiana was also very high. but the
water was not rushing as rapidly as it
was in the Brandywine.
