BROTHERHOOD of BUFFALoEs.

Are you a Buffalo?"
If this Interrogation should be
hurled at one the lentgh of a marble
topped bar it behooves that one, if he
be raising a glass of beverage with
his right hand, to switch it to the
left hand before it touches his lips,
or he will be in honor bound to buy
for every fellow Buffalo in the room
at the time. For be it known the
Buffaloes are all left handed, and
they will tolerate no n using the
right in such an important act as TAX
ing a drink. Says an exchange
There are probably fifty Buffaloes
in this city. The new thing came on
here from the west about a week ago.
1t costs just eleven cents to join, and
any full fiedged member is compe-
tent to give the initiation at any time.
There are different methods of in
i%tiation, some are rude in the extreme
and some are quite polished and po-
lite. In other sections it is different.
A recruit is told that when a men,
Der of the order asks him Are you
a Buffalo? he must instantly reply
You bet your life
After this password and simple in
itation the new member is invited to
take a drink. Then he is surprised
with the statement that he must
treat all hands because he lifted the
glass to his lips with his right hand.
As all Buffaloes are left handed, the
penalty for disobeying this is a round
of drinks.

Monongahela, Pa, March 2.-The
crew Of a freight train on the Monon-
gahela & Washington railroad, a
branch of the Petersburg Virginia 81

big steam shovel car from their train
and did not know it until a track
walker found the missing machinery
down m embankment.
The train consisted of 16 cars of
coal with a stream shovel car about
the middle of the train. The shovel
had been used on the railroad near
Ellsworth and was being sent to La
trobe TO work on some grading for the
Pennsylvania railroad. When about
eight miles from Monongahela the
shovel a jumped from the track and
rolled down an embankment.
The cars behind lit remained ON
the rails and running against the
forward cars were joined to them by
the automatic %couplers. The train
proceeded to this place, when a tele-
gram was handed, to the conductor
telling him to examine his train. He
found the steam shovel gone.

LOTS OF BIG POLICE.
Plenty OF Big Cops Claim Records
For Height and Width.


The biggest policeman contest con-
tinues to rage. Up to date eight cities
have entered stars. The claims vary,
says the Chicago Tribune, but they are
all strong and backed by money and
marbles. Philadelphia comes to the
front with the tallest bluecoat in
America, while Cincinnati, which
counts one for height and ten for
width, lays claim to the officer with the
largest girth. New York's claims are
unusually modest. 1t has the bobby
with the largest collar and is satisfied.
st. Louis isn't quite sure where 1t gets
off" but its place in the "big feet" class
is ~undisputed. Milwaukee Is struggling
to outgirth Cincinnati. Chicago is wait
ing until the full returns are in before
entering its prize, while Boston rises
above all petty consideration and
claims nothing except the largest hat
band. A guarantee signed by the may
or is furnished that it is not a case Of
swell head.
Oskaloosa, the latest entry, threw its
castor into the arena a fortnight ago,
and it begins to look, from the photo
graph and the specifications furnished,
that the Iowa town will sweep the
boards on all counts. tuscaloosa Is not
so modest as New York. Boston or st.
Louis. The sweepstakes class is the
only one that will be considered. Burt
Mastin Is it's champion. He is known
In his home town as the apollo ne

Goop LENrEN DISHES.

Egg and cheese dishes will be much
i'm evidence during the next few weeks
and many a housewife will sigh be-
fore Easter comes for a new way"
to cook them. Omelets, poachedI eggs
on toasts and the like, be they ever so
daintily served, pail ON the palate af-
ter a time, and the wise housewife
forestalls this event by providing a
variety. For delicate appetites eggs
in a nest on toast are particularly
suitable. SeDerate the yolks and
whites of the eggs, keeping each yolk
unbroken in a separate saucer. Beat
the whites to a stiff froth. Divide
them into as many mounds as three
are yolks, and put them in buttered
cups. Make a depression in the top
of each mound, and place in it
the volk. Stand the cups in a pan
of hot water, sprinkle CLOTH pepper
and salt and put a small piece of but
ter on the top of each. Cover, and
let them steam for three or four
minutes. Turn each carefully on a
slice of hot buttered toast, leaving
the yolk undisturbed on the top.
Another simple way is to make a
cupful of rich cream auce. Boil six
eggs for Is minutes. Cut the whites
into dice and mix therl with the
sauce. Turn this over slices Of
hot buttered toast and sprinkle the
grated yolks over the top.
Scrambled eggs with mushrooms are
also served IN toast. Break one cup
full of mushrooms into small pieces,
dredge them with flour and put them
into the saucepan with three table
%spoonfuls of butter, a few drops of
onion juice, salt and paprika. Cook
for ten minutes. Beat three eggs
slightly not seperatingithem, and sea-
son them with salt and pepper to
taste. Add them to the mushrooms
and scrape them from the bottom as
they cook until the mixture is thick
and creamy.

BILL TO FIGHT
AUTOMOBILE

NEW YORK, Sept. 27,-The Biarritz
Czrancel correspondent of the Herald
says:
Next Sunday there is to be bull
egbt in the Bayonne arena, but bull
febt such as has never been seen be-
fore It will be fight of an automobile
against bull.
Mr.. Henry Deutsch, whose name Is
connected with the prize for aerial navi-
CATION, win preside. Mr.. Deutsch "hen
interviewed concerning this latest novel
nlan for demonstrating the merits OF
the automobile said:
My opinion is that an automoohe
can be used instead of mounted
picador and if the picador is placed on
a swiftly revolving automobile the sport
might be immense.
II hold that with capable Chauffeur
the automobile could avoid the charges
of the bull. Ny idea in all this is that
as the revolving feature of bull nght-
ing is the. multilation of the horse TINS
could be avoided by the use OF an
automobile"
