A RANCH DINNER.
The Names of the Various Dishes Would Probably Be Foreign to
 One Fastidious.

The 'chuck wagon,' under the su- pervision of the "wagon-boss," had early in the day conveyed the camp outfit to cool spot under clump of cottonwoods. A clear little stream flowed lazily along between the cot tonwoods and the box-elders, which, with the fresh, hower-laden breath of the plains in their faces, and the inspiring works of nature about them, caused the guests of the cow punchers to forget for the time the dust and heat and turmoil of the town, says a writer in Criterion.
 And such a dinner! Ranchers know good thing and name it ac- cordingly, though the result is often a fearful and wonderful commingling of slang, localisms, and foreign words. There was spread, picnic fashion, a menu which if writ upon the regulation card would appall the fastidious and tax the knowledge of the most learned college professor. There were ''frijoles,'' (beans), and only such beans as one gets at ranch; there were "fry'' and it's in- eyitable "dope," which translated mean bacon and gravy, and there were .spuds," or, in plainer English. potatoes The biscuits were real works of art-as the ambitious "slush" intended them to be-great flaky mounds quite the size of an or dinary saucer, so that the hungry cow-punchers would not be compelled to stop very often to say Pass the bread. please" Last on the list came coffee. strong as hate and black as despair-three cups to the man.

The appearance. of John Mason i'll s'The Altar of Friendship" this evening at Polls is an event of unusual inter est Mir Mason has long been recog- nized as one of America's foremost leading men, and now that he has be- gun a starring career he is winning the same golden opinions from iEe press that were pronounced upon nm when he was at the head of Daniel FrOhman's stock company in Daly's theater. New York. He comes here almost direct from his great triumph at the Hollis Street theater, Boston, where he scored heavily with the crit ics. The play will be given here ex- actly as presented at the Hollis street theater with absolutely no change ID the cast or scenic accessories. Mir Ma son has hosts of friends III this city who will doubtless be glad to welcome him to the ranks of q star. His long connection with the Boston Museum company. as well as his later connec- fion with the Daniel Frohman Stock company at Daly's theater, New York, has certainly fitted him eminently for the position he has now reached. The company in the support of Mir Mason will include Nannette Comstock. Mar garet Fuller. Harry Harwood, Nal coIm Williams. Mrs E. A. Eberle, Lau- ra AlmOSnino. Miriam Hutchins, Dot son L. Mitchell.

CANNOT BREED SWANS.
All Efforts at the New York Zoo Have Resulted in Fail-
 ure.


 All efforts to breed swans at the zoo have failed Frequently the females have deposited eggs in their nests, but it takes long time to hatch swans egg, and there are so many people and so much excitement to distract the birds attention that the mateynal in- stinct has not proven sufficiently strong.
 Superintendent Brown, in speaking of this the other day, drew a. compari- son between English and, American people which was not fattering to the latter, says the Philadelphia Record. .'In England,' he said, 'sthe people in general, even the small boys, seem to feel a great interest in the lower order of animals. In America 1t is just the reverse. Here the spirit of destruction seems dominant. Take, for instance, a swans nest. Instead of being nur- tured and watched and carefully guard ed against harm, as would be the case in England, it would be the target for mischievous and destructive persons. It seems to be a characteristic of the American people"

OLD MONEY.
Into Circulation at the Pan- American Fair.

There are more ragged old bank silver coin that have been put into circulation in Buffalo during the Pan- American exposition than have been seen for a quarter of a century, says the New fork Times. A searcher after the cause found many cashiers of shows and other places who could give explanations One money taker of midway performance said: Its simple enough. Farmers from the interior of New York state, PennsylS vania and Ohio have been attracted 50 the exposition because they could see big show cheap. They take their hoard of old silver coins and small bills, which have been out of teapots for years, and turn them loose here. It is hard on the city folks, but the farmers would be in- suited if you refused their old coin."
 A cashier of German resort said: "There are thousands of Germans who came to this country and work ed hard for years, saving their small change. They come here and spend old dimes and quarters saved on the farm as if they were fve-dollar bills.'
 Another shrewd observer said: "You see, there are thousands of people who come to the exposition who do not fully know the value of coins. Many interruptions people are making it a business to collect all the battered coin which would be re- fused in New York and send it here to be aplmed off on the shayseeds' and foreigners. Plugged coins which would be refused in New York and which would have to be sold for large discount find their way here and pass at full face value. Then, again, there are many Canadian peo- pie who have battered United States currency which they want to get rid of. It seems as if all the old garrets of this state had been racked to find old bills and coin to be put in circu- lation during the exposition.' The custom is established at the exposi- tion not to refuse battered coin, be- cause it is so easy to pass it through the cash drawer to the next unsus- pecting visitor.

..1N NINE DAY ALL WELL

copiously and caused him much pain and trouble until he was so fortuna te as to receive visit from Chief Oku, a great medicine man of the tribe, whose fame is known among all the Indians of the eastern states. The cut was badly infamed when Oku arrived, but he at once reduced the swelling by bathing his leg with decoction of elm bark and tying up the wound in fresh clay from a brook. When Dr. Loud asked the Indian to take some stitches in the cut Oku replied:
 'Heem no good. I read heem mak' heem swell up, so be sore. See wat Olxu, heem do."
 The chief, says the New York Sun, went to clearing and returned with a dozen large and very lively brown ants. Then, grasping the two sides of the cut between his thumb and fin ger and pinching them together, he caused an ant to bite at the edge, put ting his jaws through both sides of the cut and closing them as firmly ais if they had been in wise. When he had applied eight ants in this manner he coolly pulled off their bodies, leav- ing nothing but their heads attached.
 Now heem bin stay there til heem sore geet we'll" said Oku, winding a bandage of soft cloth around the leg and fastening it as neatly as a trained nurse could have done. "In nine day 12 day, maybe, take off cloth; find heem all we'll"
 Dr. Loud followed instructions and came out cured. The heads of the ants had held on firmly as pincers, and, although the insects were long dead, it required considera ble force to pull away the locked jaws. Dr. Loud also believes that the formic acid which the ants secrete from their mandibles has antiseptic qualities which are un- known to medicine, and proposes to to make a few experimen ents along this line on his return to Boston.

"A HOT OLD TIME"

The inimitable. ridiculous Rays in "A Hot Old Time amused a packed house at Jacques last night. Only the Rays could make such fun as caused those who saw them last night to laugh from the rising to the going down of the curtain. The piece was far better than when it was here last year, several new and admirable spec ialties being introduced. and those that were familiar were dressed up in excellent style. The Doherty sisters in their fine dances and sketches are alone worth seeing. The Deforests in their ballet dancing and the quartette of tumblers and acrobats. not to men, tiOn the principals. the only Rays, give "A Hot Old Time" flavor of genuine laughter.

Royalty Wants Privacy.

The days when kings died in semi. publicity, after the manner of Charles IT,, are done, and royal families are now allowed to be as sensitive as their subjects about the privacy of death bed. The Empress Frederick had her particular reserves in such matters, and it was by her own wish that she was attended in her last moments only by her own children. It may be added that Queen Victoria shared this feeling of her eldest daughter, and she was not a party to the summoning of even the kaiser to her side. His majesty, we'll aware of the reluctance that would be felt to make this tax on his time and emotion, took the matter into his own hands, and, having an arrangement with court official to be informed in cipher when his grandmother should be dangerously i'll, came over of his own accord, not awaiting for the invi- tation which allsorts of considerations naturally delay.-London Chronicle.

A Gift for the Duches..

The women of Ottawa presented to the duchess of York upon the occa- sion of the royal visit to the capital a gift that is thoroughly typical of Canada. It is a cape of the finest mink procurable. The collar and flare around the edges will be lined with ermine, while the body of the cape will be lined with white satin. The garment, which reaches to the knee, is fastened with gold clasps fashioned in the form of a maple leaf, the emblem of the dominion. The gold for these clasps comes from the Canadian Yukon.

London,s Example.

The superiority of London over Paris in the treatment of the horse is very evident. Tn London you only see well-appointed vehicles, driven swiftly by cab1nen who have their horses in hand, and who, without using the whip, obtain the highest results It is humiliating to think that Paris has everything to learn from London and that an immoderate use of the whip spoils the pleasure of the strangers who visit us.-Paris Eclair.

JOSEPH MURPHY.

Many of our readers have not forgot ten famous Joseph Murphy, even though it is a number of years since he has played here, and they will extend him most cordial greeting when he appears at Polls on Tuesday evening in his beautiful play, shaun Rhue." This play, possibly more popular than his Kerry Cow" has always been favorite with theater-goers because of it's tender sentimentality, deep pathos and bewitching comedy. It is in this play that Mir Murphy sings his touch ing song, "A Handful of Earth" one of the most pathetic ballads ever writ ten. There will undoubtedly be very large audience on hand to greet MT Murphy Tuesday evening. Sale or seats Monday.
