Casey, and he was asked how many

Casey, and he was asked how many chickens he could eat.
 About dozen of that size,' said tue hungry giant, pointing to brood of spring chickens.
 It was not long before the whole town was aware of the fact that a dozen chickens were cooking and that all could see Casey eat the whole brood Several men knew Casey and knew his appetite and knew that they were due to win some money. But Casey was the happiest man of the bunch. He knew that he was to eat the birds, and to him that big dinner looked better than the wagers over which his friends were gloating.
 It was declared on all sides that no living man could eat a dozen chickens of any size at one sitting. They might be matched Dy hen at one sitting, but that was all.
 Casey stuck his fork into one of the birds. The chicken disappeared almost as quickly as 1t would have been buried in the writhing form of boa con strictor, and MT. Casey sent his harpoon toward the mammoth platter again. One by one the chickens dis appeared, until Casey stopped for breath with the last leg of the last chicken in his mouth. He could not swallow it. and gave up. Going over to his manager, the man who had the most money up, he saidi

CHAMPION EATER
Was Casey, Who Consumed a Dozen
 Chickens at One Sitting.

Ballard CWash) Cor. Seattle Times.
 A story that Is told and believed in Texas is one in which character known as "Boxcar Casey" is the lead ing figure, and it is said of him that he ate one dozen chickens at one sit ting. Many persons lost large wagers on Casey's performance, but they al ways believed they had been bunkoed until the coroner's inquest, held over the dead body of Mir. Casey, announced that his more than six and one-half feet in height Is told by l.. P. Kennedy, the we'll known cattle raiser of Texas, now in this city
 Casey was man of large stature, being more ..,an six and one-half feet in height, and weighing more than 250 pounds. He had large head and an appetite that John D. Rockefeller would gladly pay couple of millions for. Casey's occupation, when he worked. was that of cowboy.
 It seems that Casey struck friend for a meal one day saying that he had not eaten for foity-eight hours.
 "Of course. am willing to buy you a meal said the man. but maybe l can make some money out of you"
 You make 1t if you cans," said

beds more or less overrun by fresh water. And, of course, you want these oysters freshly opened. When you have got them in the stewpan, you drop in with them two clams and
 What? You'd think that would make a mess of 1t, queer the whole business? Did you ever hear of apple sauce being queered by putting into it just the right araount of lemon juice? Well, the two clans in the combination stew have somewhat similar effect that.
 Now, when you have not freshly opened oyesters into the stewpan you put in with them two freshly opened medium sized-not too big-hard shell clans, generous sized lump of butter, and one single drop, no more, of tabasco sauce, but of course no milk, the cooking of milk with oysters being a barbarism that 1t is painful even to mention here. And then you cook that stew over hot. quick fire.
 Now the clam I know, has a keener, stronger flavor than the oyster, ranker you might call it, though I should prefer to call it sharper, and you might think that those two clans would dominate the whole stew, or. as you said, make mess of 1t. But they do nothing of the sort Unless you saw the clans put in you would not know they were there until you came upon them in the eating, for they do not give the stew even the slightest trace of discernible clam flavor.
 What they really do is to give the stew character; they give it a sort of subtle subtle Is hardly the world. but perhaps that Is as near as we can get to it--a sort of subtle elevation, character; they bring out with delicacy and yet permeatingly and with all it's potentialities the full flavor of the oyster; they simply serve in the production of an oyster stew such as you never even dreamed of before.
 'I tell you the combination stew is great. Try one the first time you have a chance, where they make em right"

lively can't swallow this ieg." There were a number of people watching the performances. and the men who were betting were very anxious.
 What did Casey say?' yelled one of the men who had seen Casey speak to his manager.
 He asked me to bet $100 that he is able to eat another dozen," said the manager.
 An awful roar went up from the gang, and stools filled the air. That man must be 'Box-car Casey" yelled one of them, and then they all hurled missiles at him. Casey disappeared through the door in obedience to their demands and threats, and when he was safe outside threw away the leg that was in his mouth when he was ordered out, and the money was won.
 The name "Box-car Casey" was given to the big COW puncher by woman who fed him after two days of starva- tion. He ate a large meal and then asked for more. After four or five en- cores the woman ordered the man from the house, at the same time say ing that he had the capacity of a box car.

 ''The independence of the American waiter is great and glorious thing said A. F. D. Stall of Australia. He has been roaming about in this broad western hemisphere. breathing the air of freedom liberty and independence until he is sat urated with 1t. In Chicago the other day l said to a waiter In a cafe:
 Waiter, Is this pork chop or nut ton chop?'
 Cant you tell by the taste?' asked the waiter, marvelously disinterested in the identity of the chop.
 q certainly cannot" I replied.
 Then what difference does it make?' replied the waiter.

 During the passage of the Spanish royal train the entire route is policed especially at the tunnels which are lighted for the occasion The train. which is a superb one, with automatic brake and electric lighted corridor coaches, was built two years ago at Valladoid. During the trip the chief engineer of the railway com pany rides with the engine driver.
 The train comprises a baggage van, a van with a corps of special police and d medical and telegraph van. After these come the coaches for the personnel of the royal household, the ladies att | tached to the Queen Regent and the ad- jutants of King Alfonso.
 The royal coach Is composed of three compartments-a sleeping room, reception room and buffet. The last van con- tains baths, kitchen and postoffice.
