Pudding at beginning OF Dihher
The custom of serving pudding as the
first course at dinner seems to have In
terested a good many people Of our
day. A gentleman from Maine IN
forms the writer that 1t is still the Gus
tom In certain sections Of his state. In
the autobiography Of the Adams fami-
IL II is mentioned that at @ dinner CIV
on by the venerable ex-president Of the
limited States, at which his grand
children were present, the first course
was Indian pudding, and the little
folks were told that the more pudding
they ate the more beef they could
have. So OF course they gorged them
selves OH the pudding, and as con
sequence they had no appetite for beef
when II was served Thus were main
tanned the simple and economical meth
DDS of the forefathers. The boys who
came 10 the city from the country ana
later became the successful ana
wealthy merchants of Boston were rals-
ed in most frugal manner. Ihe'r
breakfast the year round was of brown
bread and milk and the same for their
supper. The dinner was of baked
beans and pie, rarely any meat-Bos-

A picturesque Statesman.

The FL Dorado Republican gives pic
ture of an early statesman and his pic
turesque attire. When the Hon. David
I. McCabe was elected to the legisia-
ture from Butler county in 1865 and
went to Topeka to be sworn In he as
tonished not only the natives, but ey-
erybody else, as he was the most gor-
geously dressed statesman'that Kansas
had ever produced. He was very dark,
with long black hair. On his head was
8 coonskin cap, the tail OF the coonskin
hanging gracefully down his back. His
coat was made Of wOlfskins nicely tan
ned and lined with red flannel. Six
handsome tails hung from IFS coat tails
and Tapped in the breeze as he mean
dered up to the speakers desk to take
the oath. He wore q spotted doeskin
vest. buckshn knee breeches, hand
somely fringed; top boots, gloves made
Of beaver skin, watch chain done III
beadwork, flannel shirt with ham
ing red bandanna pocket handkerchief
around his neck, and il IS needless 10
say he created a sensation.

LucIS and Labor.

If the boy who exclaims "Just my
luckw were truthful he would say
Gust my lazinessp or Gust my mat
tentiOnw
Luck Is waiting for something to turn
up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong
will, will turn up something.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the post

cy.
Labor turns out at o'clock and with
a busy pen or ringing hammer lays the
foundation Of a competence.
Luck whines; labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances, labor on char
acter.
Luck slips down to Indulgence; labor
strides upward to independence.-Chris-
tan Advocate.

A Puzzle Fable.

An American heiress was wooed by a
foreign prince, who urgently beSeught
her to become his wife. In order to
test the sincerity of his love she asked,
"Will you still marry me If give away
ali my money for charity and become
as poor as yourselfT'
The prince considered awhile, and
then responded. Eyes. provided you
will still marry me If I renounce my
title and become plain republican per
sou like yourself"

Hon. F. M. Hopkins, of Guthrie
Center, was here at our fair last Fri
day and met q large number of our
people. He is the present member OF
the sSate senate from the district name
up of Audubon, Guthrie and Dallas
counties and is the republican nomi-
nee for reelection. Senator Hopkins
is a good business man, and well post
ed in public matters. He deserves the
full support of the entire party, as he Is
man of integrity and honor, as well
as of ability, and we have every reas-
on to think he will receive it. AS the
party has 5000 majority In the three
counties, Senator Hopkins is now on
easy street, politically speaking. His
opponent has not yet been named and
we do not think that q convention has
been called to name one.
