BUSINESS TEAM oUTCLAssED.
Western High school Eleven Victor
by score OF - TO ;.

With just enough wintry chill IN the at

itself yesterday when the eleven knights
% the padded suit from the Business High
School met defeat az the hands OK chg
GeorEetownians by the score Of . 10 g.
The Business lads were completely
outclassed. and at no time during the en-
tire matinee did they have prospects.
They devoted their time in trying 90
check the terrible onslaught upon their
line. and for time they were successful,
but after repeated attacks on their cen
tire they were showed out Of the path Ike
leaves. The West End boys had practic=d
hard for the game. believing that Bust
ness would give them a hard game.
The only time business showed any life
was in the latter part OF the FIRST half
when Frey, the pIucky right end. made
two long runs around the ends This
small streak Of good playing was com
pIetely outweished by the number OF bad
fumbIes ard ''miscues made by the re-
malnder OF the team.
Finley. the captain Of the Western
eleven. and the star right haIfback OF the
team. made most Of the long advances FOR
his classmates. and also made several SUI
perb tackles on flying run down the
field. He scored two Of the touchd0wus
for his team, one OF them made when the
ball was within thirty yards Of the
Business lads goal line. Sutton. Hunt.
Church, and DrUmm also did excellent
playing back OF the line, and all OF them
figured in the principal plays Of the game.
AT one time when the Business had the
ball within fifteen yards Of their goal
and the leather was fumbled. Hunt ran
after the crowd. dived IN under the bunch
Of feet and feII on the pigskin- On the
next lineup Finley scored a touchdown.
The Business team is very weak in the
line. and none Of the players are as heavy
as those on the Western team This lack
Of weight counted greatly against them

line Mcqueen. Frey. LunsfUrd. john

The Business team did some good line

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS
Said to Be Very Good as Cooked by
 China

A few years ago. said New Or leans Bohemian, T dropped in to see my friend Lee Zip, who keeps what he calls q .gloeely stol, which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and pres ently he said: You likee dly ostel?' What in the name of ConfucIus is 'dly ostel2' l asked before I realized that he was talking about dried oys- ters. Come, l show, he repIed and opening the lid of a big box, he took out a handful C what looked exactly like oysters ea.a =.l mahogany. They were not shl.vy- . and warped, like other dried foods. but were as plump and symrne s-s-,--. $ any well-eondi- toned biyalve .aesh from the deep sea. Tie onE difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks. When Lee Tip tossed them back into the box they rattled like handful of marbles. Of course, l was greatly surprised, and before 1 left l took pains to find out all about them. The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimper- ies en the other side of the lake. The process is trade secret, but as nearly as l could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition l do not know for they come out of the opera tion as swe@t and brown as nuts. Last night I tried some by special invitation ,n the baekroom of laundry run by another MongoIan friend of mine. They were brought in in a bowl and formed a sort Of stew or saute, which was really delicious The oysters themselves were firm but exceedingly tender. and had q peculiar peppery aavor, differing from anything else eEaf tasted The Ghinaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and ada ed small strip of pork and season ing. When I tried 10 probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English. SO there. I sus- pect, the secret resides. l am told that the focal colony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month. and that large quantities of them are sold in San Francisco and New York.

Here's a Worried Citizen,

This is an age of hustle, hustle and sweat. A man hustles from early dawn until the katydids sing iii the twilight for three meals day and a place in which to lie awake at night and worry about it. If he doesn't over work he is called lazy, and if he does overwork he goes crazy. He tolls and saves through the days of his youth so that when he grows old he can wear a silk hat and sit on the knee of lux ury, but when his hair turns to snow and his whiskers grow thin and gray in life's late afternoon, he finds he has been victimized and grievously bunkoed by his own calculations, and that rheumatism and poor relations have shattered all his dreams and punctured his long hopes.-Dallas City Gll.)

MESQUITE COFFEE.
Texas Plant Said to Be Good Substi-
 ute for the Well-KnowD Tree.


 The Drairies of west Texas are cov- cred with mesquite bush. The name of tree would be more appropriate, as it often attains a height of twenty-five feet and it's trunk diameter of six to ten inches. This bush or tree has been said to flourish best in dry weather. but the truth Of this alleged characteristic has not been proved by this season of prolonged wet weather. The rains seem to have benefited the hardy mesquite equally as much as they have the other vegetation which IS found on the prairieS. The mes quite is greatly appreciated by the stockmen Of west Texas. In times of extreme drought cattle have been known to live for many months on the leaves of the mesquite when the range was bare of grass. The mesquite tree promises to become of considerable commercial importance through it's production of bean which so close ly= resembles the coffee berry in flavor and appearance that one cannot be told from another when roasted The bean of the mesquite has long been used as q substitute for coffee by the MeXieans of the Rio Grande border of Texas and in Mexico and New Mexico. A few years ago the possible conner cial value of the mesquite bean was called to the attention of large wholesale coffee house in St Louis This firm sent representative to west Texas to make an investigation of the product Thorough tests were made of the bean. and it was found to be perfect substitute for coffee. It was proposed to use it in great quan- titles for adHlterating the cheaper grades of coffee. With this end ih view large roasting establishment was put up in San Antonio to prepare the bean for ket before shipping it To St. Louis and other points Tins plant was placed =iH operation ana many Nexieans were employed al l01 wages in gathering the bean. N1uy thousands Of pounds of the beans were roasted and shipped to St. Louis, and it was said that the industry WIS very profitable. The next season, however, tle mesquite bean crop was complete failure, and the roasting plant had to remain idle. When another failure of the bean crop occurred the second sea- son the business was abandoned and the roasting plant removed from San Antonio.

A SIXTY-DOLLAR BILL.
Issued by Authority Of the Continental

Congress in FITS.
 Spokane has the only s60 paper bill in United States currency known to be in existence. It was issued at the hrst session of the Continental Con- gress in ITS and carries with 1t all the crudity of that age, It is pecu- liar looking document. being piece Of gfeenish paper of much the same material as the present paper money. except that it is heavier, In shape it is almost square, with dimensions of about 4X312 inches. On one side of the bill is written the receipt, which is as folle Ws. This bill entities the bearer to receive 60 Spanish mflled dollars for falGe received in gold or silver, ac- cordins 10 q resolution passed by Con gr5.5 it Philadelphia, Sept 26, 1778" On the back of the bill is drawn a bow With 3 set arrow Along the margin tlse Y4lae of the hill is again printed. add q one side the words, Printed, Hall & Sellers, ITS" At the bottom of the face is the signature of someone iH. authority. The letters have so faded out that it is almost impossible to follow the characters Some have imagined they could trace the sigma ture 0f George Washington upon those lines, but others could not imagine what authority he had to distribute money at that date. The rare bill IS the property of Otto Fiechtl of the fieehtl quartet of the Occur d'Alene. It was presented to him at the Charles ton earthquake in 1886 for the saving of an Irishman's life. The open hearted act of the big German toward his hereditary enemy so overcame the man from Erin's isle that he gave him the only article of value he possessed. MT. Fiechtl was desirous of ascertain ing the true value of the bill and in 1893 sent it to Washington, where it was kept for six months while the treasury department investigated the issuance of the bill. It was adjudged legal. as the issuance of S60 bills at that time was known to have been made, though this is the only one which has not been returned to the treasury department. The piece of money has considerable value outside of the amount upon it's face. The Spokane man now in possession of the relic has refused an offer of $l 900 for 1t, and says uo price could induce him to part with it.

A TRUE INCIDENT.
Pet Pigeon Recognizes Lady Benefactor
 on the Street.

Cn the top floor of one of Boston's highest apartment houses lives a lady who loves all Gods creatures. She has long been in the habit of feeding the sparrows ard pigeons who fly to the little balcony before her window She not only feeds them, but takes time to get acquainted with them as well, and in consequence one particular pigeon became quite q pet, eating out of her hand, and was al- ways called by the one pet name. One day as the lady was passing down Park street not far from her home her attention was attracted by a flock of pigeons in the street, and to her surprise one left the others and futtered to her very feet where she recognized her pet pigeon, and as she called the familiar name it evinced every sign of pleasure and recognition possible for pigeon. How wonderful that in all that passing throng the pigeon should recognize it's benefae- tor, and do you think there could eX- ist keener pleasure than that enjoyed by this kind woman in the simple oSeeting of a pigeon?-Bostop Journal.

RUSSIAN SPIES HERE.
They Are Keeping watch of Nihilists
 Who Seeks Refuge in America.

Who Seeks Refuge in America.
 The Russian secret police are prob ably the most skillful in the world; they need to be. In the days of Ma poleOn III. the police of France had that reputation. They haven't it now for the best of reasons An emperor needs skillful spies in all the world a republic doesn't. Russia las had it's lessons in the death of the late czar and in many attempts made upon the present ruler So the chief of political police keeps agents in every great city in the world New York, where so many Russian nihilists have found refuge; San Francisco and Chicago are especially favored in this way. Es- caped convicts from Siberia sometimes drift to the Pacific cCas. city, while Chicago is watched on general prin- eiples. New York, however, is getting to be more and more the chief object of the solicitous attentions of the cZar's people. The spies who keep tai on nihilsts in America always claim to be nihilists themselves, exiled for their political views, or escaped sus- pects It is their plan to secure admit tanee te some Of the many nihilist cir cles here and keep the police informed of what goes on. So long as the mini lists confine themselves to speech-mak- ing nothing it done about it. But, if one of them should start for St. Peters burg with such missicn as that which took Bresci from Paterson the home authorities would be warned and stand ready to receive him after certain we'll known recedents. As for the spy, his is a dangerous lift. If suspected he may become at almost any time the hero of a mysterious murder case.

PEWTER THE RAGE.
Titled Women in France Modelled in This
 Material.

If you ever received a bonbonniere, a tray, an ash receiver, a mug or a plate in pewter for gift, consider yourself unusually blessed Pewter is the rage in Paris, just now, and every conceivable knick-knaek that has ever been made up in silver has now been reproduced in pewter. The most de- sirable pieces are modeled to shGw the feur-de-lis of the Bourbons or the graceful wreaths and hanging baskets of flowers trimmed with the double Is of Louis Quinze. 4 French correspon- dent writes that in France this rage for pewter is little short of madness, that fashionable women are hans ng the side Waiis of taeif dining raoas with all sorts Of rare and beaut ul pewter mus and with shelves deeoT- ated With e=..i pewter pl2tes.

Navy for Greater Germany.

Fifteen men-of-war for the imperial German navy, including eight battle ships and two first class cruisers, are at present in course of construction in the private and government yards of Kiel, Dantzig and Wilhelmshaven. This number does not include numer- GUS torpedo boats and destroyers builG- ing at Kiel and Elbing, nor the important reconstruction (chiefy in the matter of lengthening) which the eight vessels of the Siegfried class are about to undergo at cost of over S5.6G6, GOO. It should be noted in this connection that the German govern mant is confident of again eoercing parliament into granting further large credits much beyond those already provided for in last years estimates.

To Wash Hair Brushes.

Hair brushes should be washed in hot or tepid water, to which sc la or ammonia has been added. The brushes should be ipped in and out of the water till clean, taking care that the backs and handles do not get wet. After rinsing in clear cold water put them in the air to dry; they should never be dried close to the fire or the bristles will become discolored.
