The names bestowed upon certain
dishes have often an origin entirely
distinct from technical consideration.
This is true of the we'll known cpl
grammes d'agneau la Miehelet or a
la Toulouse, as 1t is more frequently
called. Michelet was the cook OF a
young French marquise Of the century
who was noted for her lack of educa-
ton. On certain occasion she gave
a dinner to the officers of the regiment
Choiseul-Cavalerie. During the func-
ton her guests spoke of a banquet that
they had attended on the previous
evening, at which the host had enter
tanned them with many new and bril-
liant epigrams. The marquise suppos-
ed that "epigrams" referred to Gull
nary surprises. Consequently she sum-
moned Michelet, her cook, and ordered
him to prepare some epigrams for din
ner on the following day. Michelet
was greatly troubled as to how he was
to obey the order. He recolleeted,
however, that he had in the harder
some very superior lamb. He braiged
the breast, removed the bones, ei1t the
meat into pieces and bread crumbed
and fried them. He then cooked the
outlets. arranged them On dish al
ternately with the praised breast and
served them with suitable garnish
under the name Of epigrammes dag
neau a la AIichelet, by which name, or
a la Toulouse, the connection has ever
since been known

Does the Horse Love His Masterf
The horse does not love man nor does
| he delight to labor in his interest If
you think yours does. take him out
several miles from home, turn him loose
in the road and see whether he will
follow you. but do not try this unless
fond of pedestrian exercise. True, you
may train him by the use of certain
appliances to fellow you through field
flood and fire, but he Will do this not
because he adores You but because you
have successfully deceived him into
thinking that he cannot help himself
and that one idea dominates him. DO
you imagine that it is personal regard
for Cinders 4 Co. which impels those
splendid draft horses to toll and strain
at that five ton load. or that 1t is adora-
ton which lands Mr.. Spenders' road
ster in front in brush on lhe speed
way? Not In the least They believe
they cannot do otherwise. and attempts
at rebellion have always proved fruit
less. As well expect old Madge to har-
ness herself to the runabout and to
come to the door to take you for a
drive because she thought you were
looking pale.-F. NJ. Ware in Outing

Weldon Grossmith, the English
comedian, used to tell a good story
about a play by Robert Ganthony,
which that gentleman asked him to
read. Mr. Grossmith took the comedy,
but lost it on his way home. Might
after night he says, Il would meet
Ganthony, and he would ask me how
liked his play. 1t was awful. The
perspiration used to come out on my
forehead as Id say sometimes, 7
haven't had time to look at it yet or,
again, The first act was good, but
can't stop TO explain, etc, must catch
train That play was the bane of
my existence and haunted even my
dreams" Some months passed, and
Ganthony, who is a merry wag, still
pursued him without mercy. At last it
occurred to Mr. Grossmith that he
might have left the comedy in the cab
on the night it was given to him. He
went down to Scotland Yard and in
quired. ''Oh, yes" was the reply.
PLAY marked with Mr.. Ganthony's
name sent back to the owner four
months ago, as soon as found"

The horse was left at the stables, and
the pair started for the cave on foot
On the way the sergeant got ready to
propose, but rattlesnake created a
diversion. He made ready second
time, but stray steer had to be
dubbed away, and so the river was
reached without a recruit being added
! to the army.
The cave contained three rooms and
was accounted wonder. A torch that
had been prepared was lighted, and the
couple entered the dark mouth, but
| had hardly reached the center of the
first room when they were saluted by
such Il growing and clawing and roar
| ing as held them spellbound for a mo-
ment Then as a monster bear came
rushing at them from one Of the inner
rooms the doughty sergeant broke for

calls of the girl We're unheeded. He
| hadn't served twelve years In the army
to become bears meat. He wanted a
wife, and Company G wanted a second
laundress, but he would try to find the
woman In town. He covered the mile
| to the house without break and then
mounted his gallant steed and set off
for the fort He even forgot to leave
best wishes behind.
Meanwhile Miss Rose had stumbled
and fallen ana tainted away. 1t was
as good a chance as a bear ever had,
but this particular animal failed to
take advantage of the occasion.
In the first place, he was muzzled,
and, in the next, Joe Whitman was
hanging on to the end Of long rope
fastened to his collar. When he had
fulfilled his mission he was tied up,
still unconscious girl and had borne her
nearly home when she revived.
As she opened her eyes and won
dered how she had tasted to the bear
| Joe pointed out the sergeant riding
away. He also displayed his bloody
| hunting knife.
"Oh, Joe, but the bear-the bear!"
gasped the girl on his arm.
| Il came along just i'll time to kill it.
Thank heaven, you are not hurt. Here
you are at home. am glad was of
service to you, but | can't come in.
After what was said the other day
You will come in, of course There
may be another bear around"
There wasn't, but during the next
hour Joe had a talk with the colonel
and both of them shook hands at the
end of it and said they were glad.
That night when Joe led the bear back
to the town and his cake the owner
gruffiy queried:
"WelI, did 1t workY'

"Then hand over the ten. When you
want a second wife come to me and
we will put up some other job to get

when the members had planned to use
It. II was said that number of col
ored people from Omaha were In town
for the funeral and that they must re-
turn on the noon train. Therefore,
they argued, the funeral must be held
at 1890. And 1t was.
1t was late Saturday that friends of
the dead colored woman came to Mr..
Vallow to tell him that they would hold
their funeral service at the church
Sunday morning. He argued and
pleaded, but to no avail, and Mrs.
Gaines friends carried the day.
Strange expressions of confusion and
surprise overspread faces of the
church goers when they found the sit
uation. There was no complaint, but
merely wholesome surprise. And, ac-
cordingly, the regular Christmas SER
vice was held in the evening. The
new flag will be presented TO the
church through the efforts of j. w.
Bovee, who had raised a fund for it's
purchase. 1t Is a beautiful banner and
