issued by United states Marshal Chand-
Ter. he was refused admittance. DR..

guy we ever struck! Think of our
starving wives and children and then

There was laughter and pounding on

Worse and Worse.

Governor Folk, of Missouri, was

use of alum in baking powder.
A legislator described to the young
governor two conflicting aspects of the
alum and baking power question, and
catch Of these aspects was lamentable.

Folk smiling, ''of Tennesseean by

lived in ownsville-Brownsvill is
my native town-and he mad red hair.
Red hair is fashionable now, but
in George Jones' early youth it was
considered a good deal of disgrace.
Hence, George, though a fascinating
chap, did not have much success with
the young ladies.
However, one fine night he ranked
enough enough courage to propose to
a girl with whom he was deeply and
sincerely in love. She replied to mis-
suit in sad voice:
"I am sorry, George, but 1 could
never marry anyone with red hair
George smiled hopefully and said:

me that. at the rate my hair is falling

Red Meats and White.

Three pounds Of red meat to one
pound of white meat were eaten by my
patrons ten years ago." said the chef
of a New York cafe Nov, I am nap
py to say, my patrons eat two pounds
of white meat to one of red. They
have lost the taste of the wolf. They
have acquired the taste of civilized
man.
"The red meats, beef and mutton,
are strong. They are not delicate,
like chicken and veal. To prefer them
is like preferring whiskey to cham
payne; it's the sign Of a coarse, I'M
cultivated taste.
I'm Paris we eat more white meats
than red, and here in New York the
people are now learning that white
meats are better than the red. In
time. all over America this fact will
be learned, and the art Of cooking will
then improve, and the American curse
of dyspepsia will begin to disappear"

on Lopez island, and upon her death
the property reverted back, one-haf
to Phillips. and the other half to nis
daughter.
Just one year after the death of his
first wife, Phillips remarked. On the
night following the ceremony croWa
of young men who lived upon thena-
and called at the Phillips home with
the usual consignment Of tin horns
and COW bells, and after making nld-
eous ricket, thus somewhat spelling
the wedding night, they demanded the
price of refreshments.
They got only one answer but
was a startling one. Phillips Opener
