Rosebud Agency WIFI be Opened

Washington, Jan. 20. Con-
gresham Burke of South Da-
kota has been ordered to pre-
pare a favorable report on the
Rosebud reservation bill. The
Indian committee, by a vote Of
IL to 2, decided to open the
reservation without submitting
the question to the Indians.
Major Lacey of Iowa sug-
gested that the land entered
during the first six months be
held at SO per acre; that during
the second six months at $3.50
per acre, and after that the
land to be disposed of at such
prices as is determined by the
commissioner of the general

The opening of the reserva-
ton will bring in more than

believed that the bill will pass.

wages cost the roads seventy
millions. Advanced freight
rates will bring in, roughly, a
hundred and thirty millions,
increase. The roads figure
sixty millions annual profits as
the result of the two raises. 1t

roads raised wages merely as
an excuse to advance rates, but

SELECTION Of BERRY.

1t is not generally known by the
average coffee consumer that these
new possessions of ours can pro-
duce coffecs which cannot be ex-
celled by Arabian, Brazilian or Java
growths. Owing, however, to the
different nature OF the rich soil, the
coffee grown on these islands pos
sesses a peculiarly palatable flavor,
not to be found in coffee berries
grown elsewhere. 1t will be noted
by the purchaser of a package Of
Dudley Coffee that the berry is of
an unusual shape. The utmost
care is used by our buyers in Sc
lecting coffee berries to maintain a
uniform quality.

BLENDING and ROASTING.

When the berry is property aged
and cured it is ready for roasting.
We have perfected process of
roasting which produces remark
able results and as our coffees have
been blended before roasting they
flavor perfectly during this proc
ess. There is a big difference
between Mixers" OF coffces and
Blenders of coffees. Anyone
can mix coffces, but blending
coffees is an art and lifelong
study. The Blendcr of Dudley's
Coffecs has national reputation.
In fact, he has received his fourth
appointment as Inspector of cotfees
for the United States Government.

MIXING AND CURING.


After the coffee berries reach our
warehouse they are carefully tested
and blended while still green in the
correct proportions to produce that
delicious flavor and aroma which
have made Dudley's Coffees famous.
This blending is delicate process,
for no two lots can be blended in
like proportions to produce the
same results. After this blending
they are aged and cured by our
special process, which insures the
consumer against harmful effects
which follow excessive use of the
average brand of coffee.

impurities by special machinery
and arc then subjected to process
no other coffees ever were.
Every ounce is picked
over by hand and every
berry that is the least

thrown out.

produce the bad effects of drinking

Big Appetites Of Birds.

If a man could eat as much in pro-
portion to his size as a sparrow is able
to consume. he would need a whole
sheep for dinner, a couple of dozen
fowls for breakfast, and six turkeys for
his breakfast meal. A tree sparrow has
been known to eat 700 grass seeds In a
day. Birds can and do work far harder
than human beings. A pair of house
martins when nesting will feed their
young ON an average once in 20 seconds
that is, each bird, male and female,
makes 80 Journeys to and fro in an
hour, or perhaps 1000 a day. 1t must
be remembered that on each journey
the bird has added work by catching
an insect. Even so tiny a bird as the
wren has been counted to make ITO
trips to and from its nest within 430
minutes, and the prey 1t carried home
consisted Of insects much larger. and
heavier than were caught by swallows.

ENDORSING CONGRESSMAN HOWELL.

It is now evident that if Theodore
Strong is going to. fight Congressman
Howell he has got to fight the Perth
Amboy Republican organization also.
The a ction taken by the Republican
club, Tuesday night, endorsing the
congressman, places that organizatio n
on record as to where it stands, and If
there is to be n choice of leaders.
Perth Ampoy stands with MIR. Howell.
1t is really a notice to Strong to call
off his dogs, shut off the editorial flow
from the Home News office and lay
down. Perth Amboy is not the whole
congressional district, but it is q big
factor in Middlesex county and Strong
could hardly do without it.
The action of the Republican club
here will soon be followed by Others
in Monmouth and Ocean counties and
it will be a case of Strong coming
down off of his high horse. Howell
and the real Republican leaders have
allowed him to go ahead thinking he
is the whole thing, as long as he kept
himself confined to the State, lut
when he tries to boss in national
affairs it is deemed time to show him
his proper place. 1t is all done in
f~riendliness and no split is intended,
but the endorsement of Howell in
Perth Amboy is just to show "Dory"
that he is getting a little beyond his
depth and to relieve him of the delu-
sion that MIddlesex Republicans are
all his.

PRECEDENCE IN ENGLAND.

I knew a young American girl, who,
going to England under the care of an
ambassadors family, and attending
her first large dinner party, and look
ing about her, selected, as the guest
in the room who most interested her,
one man of distinguished aspect, whom
she resolved to watch, writes Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, in the Atlantic.
When the guests were ushered into the
dining hall according to the laws OF
precedence. she found herself at the
very end of the brilliant procession, as
one of two untitled plebeians in the
room, assigned to the escort of the
very man who had interested her and
who turned out to be Samuel Rogers.
the poet and patron of art, and the
recognized head of literary society IN
England. She always said that she Sc
cured two things at that entertain
ment, namely, the most delightful COM
panion that she ever had at a dinner
party, and, moreover, a lesson In the
outcome of mere hereditary rank that
would last a lifetime. Rogers poems
are not now read so much as formerly,
but at that time the highest literary
honor a mar could have was to dine
with Rogers. He was also one of the
richest bankers in London, and was
very possibly the only person in the
room who had won for himself a repu-
tation outside of his own little island;
but he was next to nobody in that
company, and the little American girl
was the nobody.
