was recently established. This SO.

80 members, and its aim is to solve the
problem of human happiness. The
members eat no meat and dress very
simply. They never wear hat, and
their food consists solely of fruits and
vegetables. There are Is women in the
society and, like the men. they have
pledged themselves to live according to
certain rigid rules. The only laws
which are obeyed are those Of nature.

COOK AND CLERGYMAN.
Young New England Clergynan Had
to Give His Landlady Culinary
Instr1etiOnD.

The days in which American cookery
was a byword and reproach are, hap
PLY, long past. If our national dish II
still pie-and there are many good
Americans who, brushing aside a.
merely local such delicacies as Boston
baked beans, Rhode Island choWder,
Maryland fried chicken, and the appe-
thing creole cookery Of New Orleans,
boldly declare that it is-at least we
may claim that it is no. longer pie
with soggy under crust and flinty upper
one, nor is it usually served at break
fast. To be sure, we have the example
of Emerson for tolerating it even at
that meal; but then he was a traveller
when he ate it, and philosopher al
ways, says Youths Companion.
But If we have civilized our kitchens
as a nation, we have still regions where
the worst of the old ways prevail. A
young clergyman in one of the northern
most villages in a New England state
many miles from the railroad, found this
out to his cost. He found on the table
little to eat but fried things -doughnuts
eggs, thick bacon and scorched flap
Jacks with a semifiuid interlining-no
meat that was not salt, sodden potatoes
and almost no fresh vegetables.
He loathed his meals from the first
and soon his digestion rebelled. His
landlady, as kind-hearted as she was
ignorant, observed that he was looking
"kind o. peaked" and good-naturedly
resolved to procure him change Of
diet.
One day he left the house Immediately
after breakfast, and returned only In
time for his evening meal. The good
woman came running out to meet him
beaming joyously.
Come right I'M" she cried, cheerfully
Il do hope you're good and hungry!
I've got surprise for supper. Fresh
beefsteak! It came just after you left
and put it right on to boil. It's been
on back O. the stove all day, and guess
it's just about done now. It ought to be
real tasty and tender. Come right Ing
He came In, and tried nobly to lcok
grateful; but her expectations of that
steak-a Wand she had never before had
to deal with-were not fulfilled; and
his were-all too well. Nevertheless
there was good result: for seeing hel
willingness to provide what pleased
him, he resolved to profit by 1T, IT he
had to teach her himself how to cook. =
Indeed, that is just what he ftuslly
did. He had never before cooked; but
he had theory, while she had practice

REMARKABLE LOYALTY.
A Case of Friendship In the World 81
Crime That Has Rarely Been
EQualed.

A dramatic story of self-sacrifce on
the part Of crook has dribbled out
through the grim and unromantic
criminal courts, says the Los Angeles
Times of recent date.
The young bunco man, Bert Clay
ton, is said to have gone to prison to
save his feeble old pal, Thomas Snow.
The circumstances. were such that
they could both have slim chance
Of going clear or one could of GER
tainty go free If the other would go
to prison. Clayton insisted upon go
ing to prison and letting the old man
out.
The two Of them conspired to rob
old man Venable in a spike" card
game at Long Beach. Venable "hol-
tered" to the police, and both Of the
bunco men were caught. Their bail
was fixed at $4,000 each. They couldn't
raise 1t singly-either of them. +!
Although Clayton told the judge
who sentenced him that he had been
only led into the crime in his despera-
ton to get money to send east to his
sick young wife and two little chill
dren, 1t appears that he had the most
money Of the two.
He could not collect quite $1,000.
however. He scraped up some, and
his young wife brought him mere.
Snow got together what money he
could, and between them there was q
pile amounting to $4,000. It was
enough to let one of them give bail
and skip out. Here was q situation
to test the character Of better and
more generous man than q crook.
Young Clayton, after talking It over
with his young wife, told Snow that
he should be the one to 90 free. When
the old man demurred to accepting
such sacrifice. Clayton said to him.
II am q young man yet, and can
stand q few years In the STILL You
would die before your sentence ex-
PRED"
So old Snow took the $1,000 they had
all three raised and deposited 1t as
bail. Then he promptly shook the
dust of this city from his feet and
vanished
Clayton got three years in San
Quentin.
According to the etiquette Of the un-
der world of the crooks 1t is now up
to" old Snow. He will be expected to
set the proper machinery in the prop
er devious ways to running to see that
Claytons wife and children are well
taken care OF.
Just how these things are done only
few of the outsiders are able ia
know.
