perinue strong as Poison.

In many OF the tOhacCOniSts shops
perique tobacco chopped into grant
lated form is displayed Tor use by pipe
smokers. This is the same pcrique that
has been grown by Frenchmen and
Spauiards in Louisiana since before our
Revolutionary war. 1t is Il jet black,
intensely strong tobacco, famous for
its flavor and its ability to wreck the
nerves.
1t is grown and made in St James
parish, Louisiana, and the crop only
amounts to about 100000 pounds Il
year
The makers follow the primitive
processes which We're in use $50 years
ago. The stems are taken from the
leaves and the latter put into box
under heavy gradual pressure. This
causes the juice to run out, even
through the wood of the boxes. \
gradual process Of fermentation and
curing takes place.
At the end Of three months the to

1t IS ready for market.
The flavor of perique is considered
delicious by all pipe smokers, but IS
too strong. The tendency Of smokers is
continually toward lighter and lighter
tobacco. and periquc is now used al
most solely for mixing with very mild
tobaccos to flavor it.

in truth these evil birds of prey are

A KIND HEARTED WAITER.-A sur
prising experience was that Of lady
who received a bit Of advice on table
etiquette. She Is sufficiently free from
vanity to tell the story herself. She
says:
know that am not person OF I'M
pressive appearance. I am inclined to
be short and stout and to dress plain
ly; still / had hoped that had an air
OF acquaintance with polite society.
But now I shall be more modest than
ever in my idea Of the impression I
make upon strangers.
At my first meal at the hotel where
I passed last summer I was pleased
with the face Of my waiter. 1t was
radiant with kindliness and good ma
ture. began my dinner with soup and
fish. AS the waiter set them In front
OF me he glanced at the persons OF
fashionable appearance who were my
neighbors at table. His kind heart
was suddenly struck with the fear that
I might make an unfortunate impress
sion on them.
He bent down and whispered in my
ear:
Eat your soup first"

red trickled down the brass-buttoned
bosoms Of their coats. All the while,
however, not a word was said, except
now and then when the onlooker said:
Quiet! Don't make such a row!"
At this the fighters would move with
one accord out Of the way Of the fur
niture and tread softly for a few mo-
ments, until the warning had been for
gotten in a new heat. 1t kept up this
way for ten or fifteen minutes. The
cadets were so evenly matched that
neither one could down the other and
they might be fighting yet If they had
not dropped exhausted at last on the
two beds ranged along opposite walls.
Then-and this was the part OF 1t
that was most characteristic Of the
West Pointer-the third cadet did
little talking and the fighters, as soon
as they recovered their breath, shook
hands and declared permanent truce
that has remained unbroken to date.
But the truce did not take the blood
stains off the clothes and there was
much scurrying before the next In
spection to eradicate the marks with
a preparation that barracks watch
man was paid we'll to secure. Nor did
it appease the disappointed hostess,
whose dinner hour had come and gone
before the "scrappers'' woke from their
warlike reverie. 1t took them month
to Square" themselves and then they
accomplished the feat only by taking
the matron into their confidence
Though an officers wife, 1t Is said she
promised never to breathe a word
about the fight.
If you ask a cadet about the scraps
he is more than apt to forget all ne
knows and declare there hasn't been
anything Of the sort on the Point Tor
ages. AS a matter Of fact, there are
not very many. The officers son afore-
mentioned is the only member OF the
corps who Is known to have inquired
in more than one encounter during the
last year. Conservative estimates
place his record at six fights and three
separate adjourns In the hospital

BREAKING THE SILENCE.-A little
tot of about five summers held place
recently in one Of the United States
supreme court seats while the learned
justices were handing down their
weighty decisions. The court was the
embodiment Of dignity, so much so
that it was almost oppressive. The
little girl figdeted in her place as the
justices in monotonous tones expound-
ed fine points of law, and she shook
her head, adorned with a big picture
hat, in impatience.
There came a pause. One justice
ceased to speak, as he had given forth
all he had to say on some important
litigation. The silence was thick
enough to be cut with a knife, as they
sometimes say in the books. The mes
senger by the noiseless folding doors
shifted from one foot to the other, the
throng Of lawyers within the bar wait
ed breathlessly for the next decision to
be announced. Still no justice spoke.
It was more than the little girl with
a picture hat could endure. Mamma"
said she in a voice audible even up to
the judicial bench, why don't some
one laugh?"-New York Tribune.

he had walked long distance that
day. So he thought he would sit down
and rest for a little while. In the
meantime the bee had thrown himself
on the grass and gone to sleep. for 1t
was a warm day. and he. too, was
tired. Well, what should happen but
that the elephant sat down on the
bees hind foot.
And the bee? He was hopping mad
and said all sorts Of nasty things.
So the bee crawled into the ele-
plants trunk just as far as he could,
and then he gathered all his strength
and gave poor Mr.. Elephant the hard
est sting that he possibly could.
"Ouchp howled the elephant. you
naughty thing! I'll fix you for that!'
And the next moment he sneezed a
mighty sneeze.
Did you ever see an elephant sneeze?
Well, he raises more disturbance for a
few seconds than a March wind.
What became Of Mr.. Bee? I don't
know, and nobody else does. He was
borne out on the breath of that mighty
sneeze. and he hasn't been seen since.

QUESTION For QUEsTIoN-A young
Japanese compositor employed on a
Japanese journal was riding downtown
In city hall train the other morning.
He was engrossed in his morning pa
per and paid little attention to the
other passengers. But fresh looking
young man who sat next to him and
who had been cycling him all along
suddenly said:
What sort Of 'nese' are you, any
way-a Chinese or a Japanese?"
The little Jap was not caught nap
ping. Quick as a wink he replied:
What sort Of a key are you, any
way-a monkey, donkey or Yam
kee?"
The fresh young man had no more
to say and left the train quickly when
City Hall station was reached.-NeW

TRUTH NOT TO BE SUPPREssED.-Jus-
tice Gaynor of the supreme court has
a reputation for dry sayings not al
together devoid of humor, and two
which are going the rounds among
lawyers are these:
A petition for an injunction, based
upon somewhat doubtful assertions OF
fact recently came before the justice
After considering the affidavit Of the
petitioner, he remarked:
I'm this case an injunction will not
lie, even If the relator does"
Under circumstances somewhat sim
liar, an attorney sought to discredit
statements contained in an affidavit.
But counsel should remember" OBJ
served Judge Gaynor, that the truth
sometimes will out, even In an affi-
davit."

How A GREAT SURGEON DIED
While Bichat, the famous surgeon
was dying Of typhoid fever he turned
to an old colleague who was sitting
beside his bed and said to him:
MY friend, am lost, but 1t Is some
consolation to know that my case Is
very curious. During the last few days
have noticed some odd symptoms
and I am studying them carefully"
"Oh, you may recover yet" said the
friend.
"That is impossible" replied Bichat,
land If it were not for one thing
would be quite willing to die"
What Is that?" asked the friend.
II am exceedingly sorry" answered
Bichat, that I shall not have an op-
portunity to perform an autopsy on
myself after my death. for know that
/ would make some wonderful scien-
tific discovery"
An hour later he was dead.

TERROR TO. BAD MEN.
Constable Jones Always Used Fists as
Last Resort.

Behind the announcement that the
government has offered a reward for
the arrest Of the man who killed Con-
stable Jones, of the Usage Indian res
ervation, on July 4, Is the story Of the
life and death of one Of the most re-
markable tanners Of bad men in the
west.
The most surprising feature Of the
history Of this man Is that in all of his
encounters with murderers and desper-
ADDE'S of the western type he never
carried or used a gun or other weapon
Of any kind. Continually brought In
violent contact with men who carried
guns they were quick to use, Jones
scorned weapons beyond those that
nature gave him. With his brawny
arms and their knotted ends he spread
terror among evildoers. not on the
Usage reservation alone, but through
all the Indian Territory.
For ten years or more Jones had
kept the peace Of the Usage reserva-
tion. When he took the place the res
ervation was overrun with tough char
acters of every class. The Osages
themselves were peaceful enough, but
the half and quarter breeds, always a
source of trouble on any reservation,
were an annoyance and a danger.
Then there were the bad men from the
outside, who invaded the reservation
to trade with the Indians and to cheat
them out Of their money at cards..
Jones tanned them all and did 1t
quickly. He went about his danger
Gus task in q new style that was ridi-
culed at first. His first step In making
an arrest was always to use common
sense argument. If that did not work.
he used his fists. They never failed to
accomplish the desired result. When
gun was drawn on him, as 1t was IN
the majority Of cases, he seized 1t ana
threw it out Of reach and then pro-
ceeded with the tanning process. Doz-
ems of men who were noted for their
quickness with gun and who laughed
derisively when told that Jones was
coming to arrest them were met ana
conquered in the same way. Jones eye
and arm were always quicker than the
most rapid action Of the worst of the
gun fighters. The ready revolver was
often drawn, but before 1t could be
used 1t was snatched from the grasp
of the man who intended to use it and
it was sent flying through the air.
With desperadoes who boasted OF
their physical strength it was the same
story. The best Of them were easy for
Jones. When one or two Of them
rushed to the aid of comrade, Jones
bumped their heads together and
lugged them all off to Jail. In ex-
treme cases they often went to the
hospital first, so thoroughly were they
tanned.
No one knows how many men Jones
could have whipped single handed,
simply because he was never put to
the supreme test. He always won
whether he was tanning one or six
Jones soon drove the tough outsiders
off the reservation for good, and the
quarrelsome half breeds became quiet
and subdued, even when under the in
fuence Of "firewater." The govern
ment officials glorified in Jones. not SO
much because Of his fistic process. as
because he maintained perfect order
on the reservation at a minimum OF
expense.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

DRESDEN CHINA. !.
First Offered for Sale at the Fair OF
leipsic In 1921.

leIp6Ic IN IfEi'
Dresden china began it's reign at the
fair of Leipsic, 1921, where 1t was Of
fered for public sale for the first time.
It has had three periods-King's Mar
coline and modern-and for all around
use It continues to be the most popular
ware of this day.
The factory marks traced on the
bottom of each piece vary according to
the period-the oldest (King's) being
the monogram A. R., and the wand or
Aesculapius The familiar crossed
swords, with the dot or circle between
the handles, were first used in 1921.
and the star took the place Of the dot
in the Marcoline period. The modern
mark is the simple cross swords, some
times accompanied by letters and
numbers.
Although the methods Of work are
still jealously guarded in all factories,
the essentials are an open secret, and
the following rough outline may salts
fy the lazily curious: The ingredients
of porcelain are kaolin feldspar, sand
and selenite. These are ground fine
and mixed in limewater. The paste
is then nodded into forms and fired in
an oven Of moderate heat. When taken
out. it is in an opaque state and is
then dipped in the glaze. which Is field
spar ground fine, with a little alkali.
1t Is now subjected to firing of great
heat, which results in the beautiful
polished surface so familiar the world
over.
This second firing Is attended with
risk, for if the piece is allowed to re-
main beyond the exact proper moment
the whole melts together and is ruined.
