He talked of doughnuts, dreamed of doughnuts,

Yes he replied fearful, it's either that or in

Well he answered, calmly resigned, is it fatal,
Hennery, or be there hopes?
How futile, sighed l, is human endeavors,

Seems to I've heard of him before, says
she, smiling shy.
Heard of him?' cries 1. Why, my dear angel
ferrous madam, you've been a aiding and abetting
frivolous in his indigestive career
:" Oh she answered evasive, is he the gent who
has created such sudden demand for doughnuts
around this cookery?
You've named the brand for right the very first
try, l replied, and he's sure harmless kid when
somebody has the drop on him. But, num-, says

about to need another COok?
Say but she was queenly She had Cinnamon
suffering the worst attack of stage fright | ever

made that remark about a Chnk but, num- If ID

that no one but angel can cut chunks out OF the
heavenly gates and fricassee em for hungry sinner
like me-
He had them cheeks of hern cleaning like

she in the prettiest voice that was ever wasted on

Cinnamon bowed again and showed them pretty

things on this earth can't do II SO be he makes
up his mind thereto. But, num- says he, there
amt no use in my trying to live pork again.
No mortal being could survive the shock after baSk
ing in the glory of your doughnuts.'
Pardner, if you want to play winning hand
with a female critter just praise her cooking. II
YOU hold that lone card you pass her over the
rest of the deck and beat her to standstin when
it comes to the showdown, yes, sir.
When Cinnamon expressed them sentiments OF
his n Miss Molly which the the name be-

spuds she was peeing and began sitting flour in

the most odoriferous doughnuts that ever made

sizzling real joyful.
WHEN at last I got Cinnamon out of that

savvy the continuous eruption wasn't as harmful
they might suppose.
The bride and groom the parson, and yours truly
occupied abandoned stage-coach decorated real
gaudy with paper flowers, feathers ribbons and
other millinery hxings, and hauled by six cayuses
driven by old Barnaby Rudge Baxter who divided
his time swearing like freghter and grinning at the
bride
The boys of the Star said they knowed some
thing fierce a coming half-hour before we hove
sight. They said they never see such stampedlng
of backtais, john rabbits coyotes and prairie dogs
in all their pitiful existence
'Delirium Jones had an attack of appleplexy when

Squaw Ann gave Whit and fitted for the wickiup

And the boysl Pardner, if you had them
critters when they got their paws full of Mrs CHINA

had all the grins there was in the world, and
that everybody else must be sobbng like their
hearts would break. 1t didn't stand to that
their faces would ever grow together again
Bozeman paused and gazed out the window medi-
tatively Presently he added regretfuly: But,
pardner this here Pocatelo won't ever again the
thrilling spectacles it witnessed in the days when
Cinnamon Hughes used to evaporate out of Windy
Murphy's honkatonk and present the old town with
vital necessity for suspending municipal activity.

There amt no restorants in Heaven either, Gin
namon.
Well them says he, I'm hankering for
the other place, Hennery, where they keeps the
griddle hot
Pardner, if ever there a miracle performed
on this old earth them doughnuts of Miss

Well sir two hours later you wouldn't a

mortal agony-he was such a juniper looking
that l couldn't fgger out how he would look on

Cinnamon l asked anxious, have 1 time to
take chaw of tobacco before the millennium

But that same ombrey didnt hand me any answer.
He just took the neardest trail for that restorant
and began masticating pastry like twas good for
the complexion
"Pardner, l sure don't want you to think that
when the laundering for Windy Murphys lquidzed

For moment the lady hid her pretty eyes be
hind her pretty hands, but back of her ears was
sure the circumstantial evidence of a scarlet blush
When she looks up, she's biting her lips to keep
from yelling Hip, hip. hurrahl
And do you,' she begins, trying to act indig
nant-' do you think any woman is hankering for the
contract of appeasing his continuous appetite?
Why says She he oughter become Norman and
marry dozen cooks.
Mum, persisted despret, if you don't marry
Cinnamon there will have to be quite con-
siderable addition built onto this here kitchen.
For says l. when that same critter digs the spurs
of disappointment into the tanks of his reckless
ness there's telling what the result will be. Why
num- them doughnuts will disappear like the
breath of scandal at the bar of judgment.

You let me be, Hen

mine is the greatest event in
contemporaneous, extempora-

he, think of them poor hun

Government Requires That They
Learn How TO Cook
MUST ATTEND A CooMNG SCHOOL
WAR Department BELIEVES 1T
NECESSARY FOR GOOD OF
SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS
Every subsistence officer of the army
will be ordered at one or another time
to duty at one of the three schools in
this country for bakers and cooks. 1t
is held that every officer of the army
for that matter, should serve a period
of observation and instruction at the
school to the end that company COM
manders may fully understand the
methods of preparing food for soldiers
in the field as we'll as in garrison. The
work of the commissary officers in this
respect has attained great Importance
and it is possible that fourth school
will be established at the large mill
tary posts near Manila, so that officers
on duty in the Philippines may have
an opportunity of learning how food
should be cooked and how bread should
be baked. The system of detailing line
officers for duty as subsistence Of
ficers will serve to take out into line
the knowledge of army baking and
army cooking, Of course, for after a
tour of duty of four years duration the
detailed commissary returns to his

BOAT NOW LOADING At TACOMA
Now loading in Tacoma is the tramp

Now loading in Tacoma is the tramp
steamship Chiswick, Captain Wood
that holds the worlds record for trav-
cling the longest distance without
stopping. This vessel ran for SO days
continuously and covered approximate
Iy 10000 miles.
The tramp is practically new and
this is her first visit to Tacoma. 1t
was on her maiden voyage that she
made this long passage.
She could not have continued an
other day as her supply of coal had
been reduced to 10 tons, and her daily
consumption amounts to nearly three
times that amount. Her average speed
was 81 knots. and the chief engineer
figures that the propeller made more
than 10000 revolutions
The Chiswick left London November
3, 1904, with a cargo of ammunition,
rifles. cannOns and machinery for the
Japanese. No one on board the steam
er knew where she was going until out
at sea, as the orders were sealed.
