"Opium, marihuana. morphine and

Henry Bexter, a mule driver, who has
been engaged in construction work on
the Pacific coast. according to the
Mexican Herald.
Il tried 1t and guess 1 know. Dyna-

covered some years ago by Mexicans
employed in loading powder holes on
railroad construction work. Americans
have long known the headache produc-

dreaded the handling of powder In any
shape or entering places where ex.

FASHION SAVING THE LEvEEs
Demand for Muskrat Fur Has Started
Campaign, Against These Pests
Of the South.

"Women's hats are doing much to
save the levees along the Mississippi
river in louisiana" said Henry R..
Lewis. This statement sounds fan
tastic, but OF the fashionable fur hats
1t Is certainly true.
"Muskrats, which for years have
cost the state no end Of trouble and
thousands of dollars through their
depredations in the levees, are now
most eagerly sought by the millinery
trade throughout the country, and
hunters in Louisiana are hunting them
in lieu of other game.
For years the muskrats have bur
rowed In the levees, and in nearly
every case where there has been a
crevasse along the river front the
cause was traced to muskrat hole.
The state has tried several means to
get rid Of the pests, but without sue
cess.
During the last winter the mil
linery stores In New Orleans bought
several hundred muskrat furs from
hunters in the different parishes and
placed them on turbans, which now SO
resemble a cat curled up on milady's
coiffure.
Several of the more progressive
hunters. quickly realized that musk
rats we're marketable and gave up the
pursuit. of ducks and other game
One hunter alone in February killed
5000 rats, for which he received 20
cents apiece.
"Other hunters have followed the
lead OF this mighty nimrod. and it be-
gins to look as II the state will soon
rid itself of the industrious rodents
whose burrowings have for many
years endangered the cities and
towns along Louisiana's river fronts"

His voice rose almost to scream.

I've been about the court house

civilization and of our modern judicial

of two sides to a given controversy.
The Judge paused for breath.
''It was over In Tangiers," he re-
sumed. Long bearded patrlarchs come
In on their camels and camp in the

VARIETY in DISHES
PROBLEM OF CHANGE IN MEM
IS A BIG ONE.
Many Combinations Of vegetabIes
with Sauces May Be Utilized
BY the DwelIer in Iso-
lated Places.
BY JESSICA E, A


Director Department of Domestic Sci.
ence and Art, National Corn Exposition
Omaha, Neb.
The getting of a dinner every day
in the year is bound to become mo.
notOnOus unless care and thought is
given not only to the selection and
preparation of the food, but also to
the ones by whom it is to be eaten.
1t is folly to cater to the tastes OF
healthy individuals, who should eat
anything placed before them. On this
other hand it is the frail n who
should always have attention.
The large markets afford variety
enough at any season of the year, but
lagos and on the farms who complain
of it's lack. Here fresh vegetables and
fruits are Out of the question and the
problem of a change becomes serious.
Vegetables lend themselves to many
combinations and may be so treated
by pungent sauces or dressings as to
almost lose their original flavors.
Potatoes alone will give an almos,
endless variety. A hot salad that will
go nicely with any meat dish may be
made quickly, and when once eaten
will destroy all taste for a cold salad
ever after.
Hot Potato Salad.-It is made of hot
mashed potatoes; eason these with
butter, pepper and salt; add a hot
boiled dressing with or without the
addition of sugar.; when thoroughly
mixed with the potatoes care being
taken to get it moist enough, but not
too much so, add chopped onions and
a bit of celery or celery salt, and
serve hot. Hard boiled eggs may be
added, but the salad is good without.
Stuffed Cabbage.-For this a we'll
shaped head of cabbage should be
used. Parboil and cut out as much of
the center as desired. Enough sau.
sage to fill the cavity will be needed.
TO this add a small onion and a piece
of ham n inch square, mil ed fine;
a little chopped parsley; a bit of bay
leaf; salt and pepper to taste. Pack
into the cabbage head, tie in a cloth
tightly and boil or steam. A slice of
bacon may be added if desired, for
further flavor.
This is an old Creole recipe and an
excellent change in the preparation OF
cabbage.

EmbarraSsjnu,

Not only the houses of the Mex.
leans, but whatever you admire is
yours. If you express a sentiment
of appreciation of anything, the own
er at once says: "Senor, it is yours"
but he simply intends something fiat
tering, and you are therefore not ex-
pected to accept anything that is Of
fered to you. An amusing story is
told of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng
lish ambassador, which illustrates how
this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
a gallant old bachelor, was prom

when he met a nurse girl with a
bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
