An effort is being made to.have
it appear that irrigation will not
help North Dakota. This is a
very marrow view to take. What
ever helps the great northwest will
help North Dakota to some ex.
tent. The moneys now derived
from the sale of public lands in
North Dakota, as we'll as in all the
public land states, goes into the
general treasury and are spent for
battleships, for harbor work for
the two oceans, for improvements
OF the great rivers, etc. They are
not spent in the states where irri-
cation is needed. By the terms of
the H%ansbrough bill these moneys
will hereafter be spent in the
region where irrigation is essen
tial to agriculture and general
growth and progress. If the bill
becomes a law North Dakota will
secure some of the money for the
improvement of the public lands
within her borders. The bill does
not appear to meet the approval of
Senator Hansbrough's detractors,
but it will bring wealth to the
great west and result in making
homes for thousands of Industrious
people. If it becomes a law the
senator could wish for no greater
reward.-Bismarck Tribune,

BARRED FROM THE THEATERs.
Americans Who Visit London Without
Evening Clothes Suffer for 1t.

Iondon-The men in charge of the box

one exasperated clerk last evening, and

the air, rail at our ridiculous customs
and finally confess that they left their
evening clothes in America"
The men at the theaters are not the only
people In London who lament the aver
age Americans penchant for coming
abroad without his dress suit. Americans
residing in London and knowing that
most theaters actually refuse men ana
women entrance to the orchestra stalls
unless both are in evening dress, are at
a loss as to how to entertain some friends
who visit here. 1t is only thougntless-
ness, of course, because many OF the
men who find themselves in the awkward
position described are we'll bred intelli-
gent Americans, making their first trip
abroad perhaps, and little realizing how
ironciad are the rules of etiquette In the
United Kingdom.

the ticket seller, tell all the Americans

Since the first inception of scientific whist
by the little corterie which met under

SOFIA, AN INDIAN DRINK.
Made of cornmeaI-Whlte People Are
Becoming Fond of 1t.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Sofia, the national drink of the Creek
Indians of the Indian territory, is to
them what the mint julep is to the native
Kentuckian. 1t is made of corn and wa
ter. There are three kinds-plain, sour
and white. The latter two are fancy
mixed drinks.
The recent invasion by white people Of
the domain of the Creek Indians has pop
ularized sofka until the fashion of drink
ing it has spread all over the southwest
and it promises to become an equal Ia
vorite with the mint julep and whisky
sour.
Indians have dish made expressly
for sofka When an Indian wants a
sofka dish he goes to the woods, hews
down a hickory tree and GUS therein ON
a block ten inches thick. In one side OF
this block he hollows out bowl-shaped
cavity six inches deep and makes the IN
side as smooth as possible.
| In this vessel the Indian places his
corn, and with pestle, which is some
times made Of stone, but more commonly
of hard hickory, he pounds the corn UNI
til II is a coarse meal. Then he takes
some kind of fan, or something Whlcn
will take the place, and fans the broken
grains until all the husks fly away. III
the broken grains are uneven in size he
takes out the larger BFdilS dilu DSoeS
them into a finer meal.
A potful of hot water and two quarts
of meal are used in making sofka. When
the corn and water have been placed over
the fire, take some vessel having per-
forations in the sides or bottom and put
in it some clean wood ashes. Then near
ly fill the vessel with water
Hold this vessel over the pot containing
the meal and let the lye made by the wa
ter soaking through the ashes drip into
the sofka Then the mixture is allowed
to boil for from three to five hours. 1t
is next set aside and not drunk for days
later This is plain sofka.
The sour soflxa is made In the same
way, but the mixture is set aside until
1t has soured OF fermented. This soured
mixture is the popular drink among the
full-blooded element.
White sofka is made from white corn,
and tastes much better. The Indians
have a fine white corn, which they raise
exclusively for this purpose. In making
white sofSa the grains are cooked whole,
and the flakes are eaten later, after hav-
ing been boiled in the water and I've. The
corn is then known as big hominy.
The Indians eat with their soflka a dish
known as blue dumplings. which are
quite as necessary as crackers and cheese
with beer In the making OF the blue
dumping two cupfulls of cornmeal are
used. a Tablespoonful of baking soda
and a small quantity of butter
The meal and soda are mixed thorough
~ Enough butter is used to make the
meal hold together, and It is rolled into
little bafls. These little balls are dropped
into a pot of boiling water, boiled for
from three to five minutes. removed with
spoon and served hot. The dish is fit
for any palate

Modern Rreadmakers.

From the New York Press.
So miraculous have become out bread
making methods that we now convert
barrel of flour, weighing 1856 pounds, In
TO 3Ss 1oaves OF bread Weighing one pound
each That is better than making two
blades of grass grow where one grew be-
fore. You are skeptical? Go to the fac
tory in New York and see 1t done-196
pounds of flour converted into 3SS pounds
of bread. nearly two to one. The increas-
ed weight is water. After seeing the pro-
cess you will calculate: How simple!
Wonder I did not think of that before"
Here is something else about bread
that may surprise you: Loaves are now
baked without crusts. This is accom-
plished by a steaming process, the cook
ing requiring one hour. The bread Is
very light and crisp and remains so for
days. The machines for making this
crustless bread will be sold only to the
national government and to eleemosy-
nary institutions. Private enterprises
firms or corporations can purchase only
the right to manufacture.

them from Labrador, has to maintain
rigid diet rules. At Buffalo, he was in
the habit Of giving them bits of tallow

that they ate them and went to bed in the
dark. he provided nice, fat incandes-

JUDGE REAGAN At EleHTY-FoUR.
Only Surviving Member Of the confsd-
crate Cabinet.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
At frequent and irregular intervals in
the last few years the newspapers have
been warning US that the Hon. John II.
Reagan of Texas-soi6ier, statesman,
jurist and thoroughgoing American
was on the point Of crossing over the
river and of resting under the shade Of
the trees and before the obituary editor
could hunt up the clippings and turn
to the encyclopedias and prepare an APP
propriate notice of the judge along
would come the news that the Hon. John
II. Reagan was up and doing nicely and
making history out IN Texas, just as he
has been in the habit of making it for
more than three score years.
Less than two weeks ago the judge
was exceedingly feeble and grave
anxiety was entertained by his rela-
tives and friends" A day or two later
his condition was stated to be 'improv-
ed" Reports in the newspapers of yes
terday leave little room to doubt that the
Hon. John II. Reagan is 'sust as young
as he used to be" A speech made by him
at Palestine last Monday conclusively
demonstrates that fact. Among other
things here is what Judge Reagan said
to his fellow-townsmen:
1.-The peace and welfare of the country
capital and labor which are growing in
intensity from year to year, and neither
will yield to the other The only remedy,
as far as / can see, is for the states and
the federal government to enact and en-
force such laws as will make the trusts,
monopolies designed to control production
and the prices of labor and property, and
all labor organizations, criminal and
punishable by penalties so severe as to
f7rfx =, 80 rot
the people back TO their reliance in the
constitution and laws and courts for the
security Of their property and their
rights.
My belief is that If this conflict be-
tween capital and labor shall not be ad-
justed and settled by the ballot it will
continue to grow in intensity and will
before many years be discussed by guns
and swords. and that its settlement will
be made as the settlement of the conflict
or the people of France was made with
the nobility and the priesthood in l792.
As matters now stand it is contest be-
tween capital and labor as to which shall
most successfully levy unjust tribute on
the great body of the people. One is re-
lying on its money and the other on It's
organization for supremacy
These are candid words spoken by
man who throughout long and event.
full life has dedicated himself to the ser
vice of his people, his state and his
country Out of politics, as he now is,
Judge Reagan can afford to speak freely
and without restraint. With him there
are no sinister purposes to serve, no pc
culiar interests to defend or to attack.
His words are weighed with the authority
that always adheres In wide experience,
ripened Judgment and conscience void
of offense toward God and man." Men
may differ respecting the wisdom OF
Judge Reagan's views, but all will agree
that his words express clearly the opin-
ions of an honest mind. For that reason,
If for no other, Judge Regan's warning
should arrest popular attention.
