From the Kitchen.

Has it ever struck one what a num- Der of terms belonging to cuisine are applied to man under different circum- stances? Sometimes he is "basted,' he .'boils with rage" Is "baked' with heat and "burns' with love or jeal- ousy. He is often "cut up, "devour- ed" with a flame and "done brown We dress his jacket for him. Some tiues he is "eaten up with care. and occasionally he is fried We cook his goose" for him. and often he makes goose of himself. We mak" hash" of him, and sometimes, he makes a hash of something else. He gets into "hot water" and sometimes into "mess," is made into ''mince meat" and is often in pickle" We are ofteu asked to "toast' him, and he Is frequently put into stew or is in stew" no one knows why. \ "soft" is "half baked" and one severe !y handled is well .'peppered A cheeky young imp is a sauce box.

PLAN GOLF TOURNEY IN IOWA
Dss Moines May Hold Professional
Event With Rich Prizes.


Event With Rich Prizes.
A professional golf tournament, with
the first prize at least $1,000, is being
planned for Des Molnes, Wis, by a
number of well known golfers. 1t is
planned to raise $1,000 or $4,000 for a
tournament which will attract the best
golfers in every part of this country
and perhaps in Europe. Prominent
members of the Golf and Country club,
a wealthy social and golf association,
are backing the plan.
The two elghteen-hole golf courses
here, the Waveland public links and
the Golf and Country club course, are
adjoining each other, the holes not be-
ing over fifty feet apart In some cases,
so that thirty-slx holes Of golf can be
played here, every hole being differ
ent one. Both courses are of cham
pionship length and are extremely diff
ficult.
The transmississippi golf tournament
will be held on the links Of the Coun-
try club next summer, and the Wave
land course has been the scene of this
event In the past as well as of the
state tournament. 1t Is hoped to have
this professional tournament during
the latter part of the coming summer.

FEATs OF STRENGTH.
A Blacksmith Who Fairly outdid Au-
uustus the Strong.

8usku9 tne cIToH6'
Not all the worlds strong men have
been performers ON the public stage.
Indeed, instances might be multiplied
in which the feats of professionals
have been equaled or excelled.
Charles Louvier, carpenter OF Paris,
found 1t child's play to roll tin basin
between his fingers into a cylinder.
On one occasion he carried Off a sol
dier on guard who had gone to sleep
In the sentry box and deposited both
the box and the soldier on a low
churchyard wall near by.
Another man who sometimes found
his great strength source Of amuse-
ment was a Danish locksmith. knut
Knudson. While standing In win
dow on the ground floor he lifted with
one hand half a bullock from the
shoulder of butcher who was toiling
past with his load.
Augustus the Strong, the elector Of
Saxony, once entered a blacksmith's
shop to have his horse shod. TO show
his suit how strong he was he picked
up several horseshoes and broke one
after the other, asking the blacksmith
as he did so If he had no better. When
1t came to paying the bill the elector
threw a silver piece on the anvil. 1t
was very thick coin. The blacksmith
took 1t up and broke 1t in half. saying
Pardon me, but l have given you a
good horseshoe, and l expect a good
coin In return" Another piece was
offered him. He broke that and five
or six others. Then the humillated
elector handed him louis dor, saying
THE others were probably made Of
bad metal, but this gold piece is good.

An italian, Luigi Bertini Of Milan.
performed similar feat. Besides
horseshoes, he broke nails a finger
thick.

ter of Napoleon III. frequently aston
ished the women at court by bending
a twenty franc piece in his hand
