4 PEACOCK WEDDING DINNER.
Gorgeous Feast Prepared b! . Missouri
Judge Before Paris Tried the Idea.

The American woman just back from
Paris who told the story printed in THE
sun last Sunday about luncheon at which
the hostess had peacock served in the
game course no doubt regarded the Incl
dent as novel. But the Use Of peacock az
dish in modern times is not original with
Paris, IL the story of lawyer in New York
may be accepted az correct.
I'm some parts of the South" he said,
peacock ia sometimes served on Christmas,
and sometimes at wedding dinners ir place
Of turkey.
"The most elaborate dinner. aside from
State affair, to which ] ever sat down.
was that given by County Judge in Platte
county, Mo-, to his niece on the occasion OF
her marriage. There were one hundred
plates. The elmer was served in an arbor
which had been arranged at considerable
! expense for the occasion.
"The Judge had a great flock Of the birds
of Juno, and he was as great believer in
the ncorruptibility Of it's flesh as were the
, people who adopted the fowl as a type of
the resurrection. His niece was his favoritc
he had no children and upon her he
lavished all that he Possessed.
"I'p to the time OF her marriage not one
Of his peacocks had ever been killed. When
ground with all honors. On the occasion
Of the wedding of his niece he ordered the
slaughter of three of the flock, which were
specially fattened for the event
Il am not an expert on the preparation Of
the bird. and know nothing about how
those for the feast were dealt with by the
Judges cooks, but the manner In which
they were served is one OF the gaudy recol-
lectons Of my ne nory
were dressed in Continental uniform, and
each wore a white wig. don't know how
il was arranged, but each platter was COW
cred with some sort OF gauze which had been
fashioned TO represent a peacock, and this
gauze was covered with the plumage of the
fowl
when the platter was placed upon the
table the man who brought il on. by manip-
ulating wire, caused the tail plumage TO
spread just as the vain bird in fife spreads
il when II goes on dress parade. And then
the covering was lifted, and there was the
meat ready to be passed to the guests.
"Only the breast of the bird was served.
As delicacy no game ever surpassed II.
| do not recall what tbs condiments were,
but they were delicious
During the dinner the flock Of live pea
cocks were paraded before the arbor.
They seemed to have been we'll trained,
for as each one passed across the platform
at one end of the arbor it spread it's beauti-
full plumage just at the right moment.
II don't know how ancient the peacock
sserve'i, at the Partisan luncheon may have
wedding dinner Of the Missouri Judge was
MS tender and tcothsome as anything which
the gods could have wished for The
Partisan luncheon Of peacock was about
twenty years behind the 'cacCch wedding

EX-CHIEF CRAIG RETURNS.
Will Face Charge of Embezzle- ment of City Funds at
 Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff, Dec. Is. William Craig, formerly chief of police of this city, who for some years has been mysteriously missing and is under indictment in the circuit court charged with en- bezzlement of city funds while in office, voluntarily returned to the city today and gave himself up. His bond was fixed at $1,- 900 and in company with a dep- uty sheriff he visited a few of his friends and easily made the bond.
 When asked to make state ment for publication Mr. Craig said he would not talk before consulting with his attorney.
 The charge against MT. Craig is based upon an alleged shortage reported to the city council by a committee appointed to investi- gate the books of his office as chief. The exact amount is not definitely known, but it is thought to be several hundred dollars.
 MT. Craig was chief of police two years ago under an appoint ment from Mayor Bell, but left the city rather suddenly and had not been heard from until today, when he returned to give himself up and face the charges. He says he is not guilty.
