"The First operatic War"

First Operate War" When he was
choosing his melodies and selecting his
colors from the infinite palette of the
orchestra, he was not thinking Of
tickling the ears with a musical sweet

flourish that would exercise the vocal
gymnastics of some loyal Tetrazzini or
Caruso. He was thinking of the spirit

JUST THE REGULATION MEAL
Cowboys In the Early Days Evident
iy Arose with Healthy
AppetItes.

T. B. Sweet, Topeka capitalist,
stopped at Abilene in the early days
at the best hotel in the city. He
asked for his breakfast. The wait
ers took no special notice of his ap-
pearance, or at least did not guess
that his appetite was different from
the average patrons.
"Give me some eggs" said Sweet,
and waited.
In little while the waitress came
back. In a bowl she had full
dozen eggs, all hard boiled.
Sweet gasped and ate what he
could, protesting that She had
brought him too many and that he
didn't just know how hard boiled
eggs would strike him for his first
meal of the day.
'Why, that's a regular cowboys
breakfast" responded the waitress.

MAY KICK UP FUSS.
Little Leagues viii CIamor to Have
ExOrbitant Salaries Reduced.

Although everything appears calm
on the surface, there promises to be
some tall deings at the meeting of
the National Association of Minor
League Clubs in Chicago next month.
Most of the big fellows, the Class
A teams, are cOntented with their
lot in life, but the little fellows will
surely kick upa fuss. 1t is limited
that their calamity howl will be a
just one. They claim that the salary
limits are too high and want them
pruned at once.
The past season was a disastrous
one for a number of minor leagues
and the club owners claim that the
high salaries paid the players al
most worked their undoing.
1t was a case of Everything going
out and nothing coming in" with
them and sooner than chance a re-
pitition of what they were up against
in 1908 they will fight for a reduc-
ton in salaries.

FRUIT SERVED WITH RICE.
Two Delicious Dishes That Are Popu
lar with the French.

The French like to use fruit with
rice. Plums in rice border: Cook the
rice in milk until tender and quite dry,
adding pinch of salt when it is half
done. Make it rather sweet with pow
dered sugar and pour into a border
mold to SET When ready to serve turn
it out carefully and fill the center
with very rich stewed plums. Pour
little of the syrup over the rice and
heap whipped cream over the plums.
The stones should be removed from
the fruit and the kernels simmered
Ten minutes in little thin syrup and
then mixed with the fruit.
Canned pineapple will do for this
recipe if there are no tender, ripe ones
on hand: Cut one-half cup of celery
and one tablespoon of pepper in small
pieces and mix with one cup of shred
ded pineapple! Add one tablespoon of
nuts, mix with mayonnsise, and when
very cold serve on curly lettuce leaves
or in apple, shaddock or orange cups.

Irish Moss for InvaIids.

Those who suffer from stomach or
intestinal trouble where the mucous
membrane is irritated, will find Irish
moss soothing and palatabie.
1t should be boiled until it produces
a thick, nourishing jelly. 1t can be
boiled with milk or water, although
the former is better. If one wishes it
sweetened or favored, any fruit juice
that the palate will stand can be add
ed to it.
Coffee or chocolate prepared as for
the table is preferable to the juices
and extracts and is better for the
health.
When making it for an invalid who
has chronic stomach trouble, it is
best to use the smallest amount OF
sugar.
