an intimate knowledge of the good old
revolutionary days.
Yesterday a couple of men who
thought they knew something about
tea attempted TO enlIghten the com
mirtee on the subject. Right there was
where Mr. Boutell qualified for Glass
A, EDicure.
Now" said Mr.. Bouteu. taking one
of the witnesses in hand. Il know
something about this tea question my
self-in fact I may say that I have an
intimate knowledge OF It, I am very
fond of tea--so fond Of it IN fact that
I personally supervise not only the pur-
chases for my household. but also its
brewing. When l go to a tea store
order the following mixture: OOlong,
FurnO. Orange Peco and Gun Powder.
I carefully observe that the various
brands are mixed with strict regard to
the proportions of each. It is the most
delicious blend I know Of Yes, it's
really very delicious.
Now tell me. continued Mr. Boutell
COnndentially, regardless of the fact
that Chairman Payne was impatient and
on the point of calling off the tea party.
''Teu me about two other teas I heard
of the other day. They had awfully
fancy names. Would they add anything
to my own especial blend"
The tea expert seemed distressed.
AZ think" he said slowly. that yOu
had better not add anything more TO
that mixture OF yours"
Going down 10 the Willard Hotel, in
a street car later in the evening, the
expert remarked. What puzzles me
is that Boutell Is still alive"

WALK 245O MILES
BIGGEST WEST TO EAST WALK
EVER ACCOMPLISHED.
Win Fifteen Hundred Dollars.

Over mountains and through snow,
through wet, slush and mud, freezing
at times, and oppressed by heat at
others, William Jackson and r. T. Hay,
two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every
mile OF the way from Seattle to Chi
cago, Just arriving within a few hours
of the time limit, thereby winning a
purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given
by the Seattle Athletic Club, for ac
complishing this feat within the pre-
scribed time.
Jackson and Hay left Seattle with
but Five Dollars In money, were
obliged to earn their way as they
went and leave no unpaid bills, and
complete the journey in ninety days.
An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the walk. was that each of
the contestants wore pair of the
well-known Mayer shoen. that neither
