4atbits That Were Relished In AM
Client Roman Times.
Drawn was originally a Roman dish
and vas eaten with garum, and cows
and calf's foot jellies were likewise
dainties with Rome's upper ten in the
time Of the Caesars. One would hardly
suppose that black buildings were so
old as the reign Of Tiberius, but this is
the fact. They were made Of pigs
blood. with little cubes Of fat inter
spersed in the compound,-and were the
invention of a gentleman who rejoiced
In the name of Bambonselvergius. 1t

This gentleman also wrote a learned
treatise on the fattening Of dormice for
the table, for at n period dormice
were a craze. There were dormouse

Drawn, dormouse cooked in every
conceivable way, and the demand for
this delicacy in prize sizes was so great
that there was room for q book on the
subject, though unfortunately this
book Is lost to pesterity, and the only
knowledge which we have Of the fat
tening Of dormice in Rome Is from
Petronius Arbiter, who tells us that
they became fat by sleeping.
He also tells US that the best sauce
to eat with dormouse is a mixture of
poppy seed and honey, a mixture which
probably had the merit Of inducing
sleep after a meal.

Benevolences in 0

Philadelphia Ledger: The total
amount contributed by citizens OF
the United States for philanthropic
purposes during 1906 fills far below
the record of some other years.
Those who look for a progressive
annual increase in charity contribu-
tions must be disappointed. During
the last year a total Of s51 $50. 294 in
large contributions was given TO
educational establishments. art gall
leries, hospitals and asylums. The
~benefactions for these objects reached
the neat total of Sl0I. 800, 900 in 1901.
TIE Variability of such statistics is
shown by the statement that the
contributions in 1900 aggregated
S47. 500, 600. 1t is estimated that the
small contributions to charitable
uses in 1906 would aggregate not less
than $40, 600. 600 swelling the total
philanthropic offerings to SOL, 23C. 294

President Tyler. Feast..

President Tyler's dinners were, on a
large scale, those Of a wealthy Virginia
planter, and as the greater part of the
provisions came from his own planta-
ton at Greenway Court they tlckled
the palates of the most exacting cpl
cure. He employed a negro cook from
his old home. one who knew how to do
to a turn fried chicken and to shave
of the delicious pink slices Of baked
ham. These hams were considered
the finest that ever graced a table, and
the Virginia porkers Of today, famed
the world over, might well pride them
selves on their noble ancestry. that

Retiring Governor Elrod.

The people of Pierre are truly
sorry to see Governor Elrod go from
amongst US, as the head Of the state
administration, and retire to his
home in Clark. Sam Elrod has been
an ideal governor. He has always
been honest, sincere and straightfor-
ward. He has never stopped to petty
politics in his conduct Of the high
Office he holds, but has insisted ION a
clean administration of his subordi-
nate in their respective positions.
He has seen to it that only men of
the best records have been appointed
to any positions he has had to give
out, and he has instructed each and
every u of them to do nothing that
would briny blame on them or the
administration. And so Sam Elrod
is now closing his term as governor
Of South Dakota. He is a plain,
common man, a man Ct no pa1tic-
ularly brilliant oratorical gifts, a
man of no great projections, and,
moreover, ii man who doesn't try to
elevate biuself above the rest Of
common, respectable mankind. But
the fact shines out as clear as a star
that he has made an honest, able
and conscientious governor, anu that
his administration OF state for two
years past has been unimpeachablc
and without fault. The Free Press
desires to take OF its hat to Gov
ernor Elrou. Ii more men like him
were elected to the highest otfires in
the world. the latter would be a
whole lot better for it.

She tried to picture Barney in the

contrasts as she watched the brown
hair turning golden-contrasts between
foam Of the sea and the cool blue
depths Of the ocean itself, between a
bending reed and a sturdy pine, be-

seat where Jim sat alone. The face he
turned toward her startled her with its
~sternness.

I'm not worthy to be your wife,

Thou art all that Is fair to me, my

Jim's voice was hushed as one who
prays. His eyes, looking down rever-
emily at his little sweetheart, were
wondrous in their great happiness, and
Irinda, though fearful, smiled content
