WHAT ARMY OFFICERS EAT.

Great Variety of Food Il Dispensed By
the Comm . sary Department.
No one outside of the army has any
idea of the variety of commissary ar.
ticles which are carried in the sub
sistence storehouses at army posts,
The present extensive stock is grad
ual growth since 1865. when the old
army sutler was supplanted by the
post trader, who in turn was driven out
of the service by an exposure OF cor
ruption and collision which involved
even the wife of a cabinet officer and
dragged the latter into retirement.
The post trader carried few ar
ticles which he sold to the officers and
men at exorbitant prices. and one OF
the choice government snaps was
post leadership, for which men were
willing to pay large sums that they
might have the protection and license
of the government i'm rObbing the help
less army officers and soldiers Of re-
mote frontier garrisons. The variety
Of the post traders stock was as lim-
tied as it's quality was Indifferent.
When the post trader was banished
the subsistence department OF the
army extended it's system so as to en-
brace something besides the ration
which it purchased and issued to
troops. 1t began to keep such articles
as smoked fish, sirups. canned oysters
and Holsters, jellies. jams, -four, hams,
coffee, candles and salt. The list was
a meager one, but 1t was the beginning
of an elaborate system and an extern
sive stock. The department has i'm
proved it's supplies year by year, keep
ing in mind the needs and the desires
of the enlisted men, the officers and
their families. These supplies are out
side the regular ration and are sold at
contract prices even to officers and
men on the retired list, provided they
certify that the supplies are intended
for their own consumption.
In the list of foods there are now all
kinds of canned and evaporated fruits,
canned vegetables, fish and meats,
four varieties Of soup, four varieties Of
crackers and three varieties Of white
sugar. There are all kinds of spices
and seasonings, sauces and jellies,
among which are four varieties of
pickles and two varieties of table
sauce. There are four brands Of CT
gars and four varieties of smoking to-
bacco, with other smoking articles and
supplies Sometimes these varieties do
not meet all the demands of the army,
and additional kinds are provided, but
there is limit placed on certain arti-
cles, and the department does not pro-
vide more than ten varieties of cigars
none costing more than Sc ger 500,
or $12 in the open markeD, six varie-
ties Of pickles or crackers and FIVE of
smoking tobacco or soup.-Saturday

The governor OF Oregon Is an ardent

DRUNKEN COWS IN A FIGHT.

Sanguinary Conflict Takes Place After
Meal on Fermented Cane.
The most exciting affair In the vicini-
ty of Bronson, Fla, Of late was the fero-
cious combat between two of Farmer
Hawkins intoxicated cows the other
day, causing the death of one after a
fight that would put a modern bull
fight to blush.
Hawkins lives four miles from Bron-
son and prides himself upon his fine
stock. He makes lots Of cane strip
also. In the grinding season most of
the farmers in this country make beer
for home consumption from the "cane
skimmings," but Hawkins is a stanch
teetotaler and vowed he would give the
skimmings to his cows. So he filed the
trough full the other afternoon, not
dreaming of the tragic consequence to
follow.
Soon two Of his pet cows came up
and began drinking the liquid. 1t tast-
ed good, and the cows wanted more.
Soon they had on a goodly Jag" and
they got belngerent. One plunged at
the other, trying to get possession Of
the trough. The other, with q below
Of defiance, gored her antagonist In the
side with artistic skill. The other turn
ed tail for moment, and then came
rushing back, pinning the cow to post
and goring her frightfully.
The fight then became general. The
Infatuated animals beloved and
plunged at each other and fought with
deadly earnestness. This was kept up
for a half an hour, when one was
knocked down in dying condition, and
the other was just able to walk around
and below tdumphantly. The men
folks heard the uproar, but did not get
to the scene Of the warfare in time to
stop it.
Mr.. Hawkins is out one cow, but has
lots of experience. The old settlers
around there say this Is a common &C.
currence where cattle drink this SKIM
mings, as 1t makes them fighting drunk
and a scrimmage follows. In the old
times it was one Of the boys sports to
get a drove of cattle In an Enclosure
and feed them with cane skimmings
and watch the fight that would follow.

siberian Rivers Well Lighted.

One of the most remarkable features
Of the Russian navigation of Siberian
rivers consists in the thorough way in
which each verst of the navigable 5000
or more is lighted. There IL always q
lamppost in sight, and these are paint
ed white or red. so as to be easily dis
cernible during the day. This must
necessitate the employment of at least
1000 lightkeepers. who also patrol and
sound the rivers depth within their re-
spective beats. Each isolated woodpile
must have its guardians, who live near
by In q log hut or two.

NO NEGROES IN THIS TOWN.
One Kentucky Village freo which q
Black Man 10 Barred.

49,.
One Kentucky Village frea Which the
Black Man 10 Barred.
Calvert City, in Marshall County. IN
Kentucky, ID one Of the few places In
the world that has eRectually solved
the race problem. Not q negro II to be
found within a radius Of dozen miles.
and the negro II yet to be discovered
who has any permanent desire to come
here.
To threaten . negro with Calvert
City is to bring before his frightened
vision pictures of death more horrible
than by lynching.
The peaceable, law-abiding spirit that
prevails In the little Kentucky town IL
swiftly banished when a negro ap-
pears. Ii he keeps going he il not
molested, provided he attends strictly
to his own affairs and does nothing to
provoke the ever-alert hostility of the
residents. But he can neither take up
his abode there nor remain over all
night, and so disastrous have been all
past attempts to break this unwritten,
but none the less, stringent law. that no
negro would to-day dare to move into
Calvert City and announce his intention
Of remaining.
The town itself Is a small place Of q
few hundred inhabitants, situated on
the Illinois Central railroad. only q
dozen miles from Paducah, the metro
polls of Southwest Kentucky.
The intense hatred Of the negro dates
back twenty years or more. Few pro-
fess to know Its origin. and many claim
that 1t was born in the people. but some
Of the older inhabitants declare that 1t
had its inception years ago. when two
negroes married white women and set
tied there. The aversion of the people
became so great that numerous at
tempts, resulting in considerable blood
shed, were made to expel the mismated
couples, and eventually they were
driven away.
This aroused the bltterest hostility
among the negroes, and the white peo-
pie soon grew to SO hate the sight Of
one that every negro was ultimately
run out Of the vicinity, and one has
never been known to live in those parts
since.
In recent years there has been no
serious trouble. but 1t Is estimated that
no less than ten or dozen negroes who
had settled In the neighbOrhood have
been shot from ambush or otherwise
mysteriOusly killed.
This reprehensible means Of exter-
minating them. however. was always
adopted as a last resort. and no one
was ever punished for relieving the
community Of their presence.

For white garment or any goods that

When He Held the Jack.

"He was a scottish sort of chap, but
played tolerably fair game Of seven
up" said ex-Sheriff Warren X. Ridg-
way, Of Pike County, Pennsylvania.
1--WE were sitting in, up at Lacka-
wanna, playing for a quarter a corner.
l knew he was dead gone on girl up
at the Narrows, and so remarked, casu-
ally, early in the game:
Every time fellow gets the jack
Of trumps in seven-up it's sure sign
his girl is thinking of him.
''Then I sort O. watched the young
fellow, and the very next hand he
picked up I noticed his eyes light up
and real nice flush of pleasure spread
over his face. So led out, and, sure
as pollywogs! l caught his jack, as l
thought maybe would. And it worked
SO well all the evening that had a
whole lot of his quarters when we
quit. But he seemed pleased, and
went up to the Narrows on the next
train."-New York Evening Sun.
