MENU FOR ENGLISH SERVANTS.
Custom Allows So Many Pounds and
 Ounces a Head a Week.

The English custom of allowing So many pounds and ounces of food a week to servants is practically un- known in this country. The queen contains the following explicit figures in regard to servants allowances:
 "The usual allowance for tea Is a quarter of pounds a head week. and as long as the servants keep within this I should not bother much about when they have their tea; butter. half a pound a head week for eating pur- poses; sugar, from half a pound to a pound a head weekly; cheese. from half pound to a pound a head weekly. according to whether you allow meat for supper or not.
 The cocoa you would reckon separ- ately from the tea. as you allow it in stead Of beer The amount of this required depends greatly on the quali- ty of the cocoa, but with a good brand you would allow teaspoonful, or rather under, to each cup. so that if the servants have it once a day, you would reckon two ounces a head d week. For meat the usual allowance is from one-half to three-quarters of a pound head a day, the latter in cluding bone. Anything Beyond seven pounds a head weekly indicates waste or dishonesty"

MAN WHO DOOMED THE WEST.
Death of F. S. Harris, Who Started the
 "See America" Movement

The founder of the new tribe of western boomers died the other day at Salt Lake City He was Fisher & Harris, the man who invented the phrase See Europe if you will. but see America first" and who called the convention of western governors and commercial men which gave it vogue.
 While he lived he megaphoned the glories of the new and industrial west to a thousand points. won a score or more of conventions for his adopted town and organized some forty odd commercial clubs in order to get the propaganda of boosting the country on the big business basis Without ever having been farmer he was an or ganizer and president of the Trans Missouri Dry Farming Congress.
 When his city heard of some big convention at work in any part of the country 1t forthwith hustled him off to capture it for the mountains. come another year Seldom did he fail says Golfers Weekly. and the speech with which he won them was to tell of his boyhood in Virginia immediately after the war. then of the sectional bitterness with which his heart was filled. and finally of his migration to the west. where he lived to learn that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest man that ever lived. The final effort of his life was the Grand Army's en- campment last summer.
 As pioneer boomer of the western sta ha in a frontier hotel town to secretary of the Salt Lake Commercial club. which he founded. Here he sought out choice spirits of his own kind in Portland. Seattle. Minneapolis and Denver and began the work for general propa- ganda of boosting the west and pre- pairing the west to take care of it's ex- pected tourists.
 His See America" convention was the result and it became the centre for general western movement for better hotels. parked roadways to the scenic attractions and commercial clubs from which glad hand could be extended to all callers. The brass band turned out for whoso was worthy of the honor.
 The latest expression of his faith in the new west is a splendid home. not yet quite finished, to be devoted ex- clusively to the booster propaganda of Salt Lakes Commercial Club. His in- structions to its architects. after he had made the speech which oSersoId the bonds for is erection. was to make it something that would leave Chi cagos club a second rater.
 When he died the people without re- gard to religious and political differ ences in community where such diff ferences are especially bitter turned out en masse to attend his funeral He has shaken the hand of every notable guest of Salt Lake for the last ten years and he spoke to those for whom banquets were arranged until his voice was impaired year ago in an east ern convention getting campaign.

 few days ago. while cutting down tree on the property. Henry Mere found an iron rod about an inch in diameter and three feet in length sticking in the ground at the foot of the tree, which he believes was placed there as a landmark. Mere secured an instrument which will locate metal in the ground and started to conduct a real treasure hunt.
 The money is supposed to be most ly in gold. Aided by Walter Busch and Charles Heege, Mere started dig ging for the treasure ard was down a depth of nearly ten feet when some one ordered that the digging be stopped. Since that time mysterious lights have been seen in the neigh borhood and it is said someone is digging at night.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

CHRISTMAS GUESTS
 ABUSED PRIVILEGE
They Used a Siphon On a Porto
 Rican Wine Barrel.

The proprietor of the Porto Rico saloon disseminated great deal of Christmas yesterday before he found it out. He was supplying enough wine to make lot of Mexicans drunk He might not have found it out when he did. but the crowd kept growing bigger and bigger. as the' word cir culated through the neighborhood. un- til it got suspiciously big and reck- less. At last one man who was not satisfied with what he was getting was detected in carrying a two-gal- Ion bucket of the wine away The police were notified. and Officer Troutman took this wine bibber into custody.
 In the excitement attending Christmas trade. the proprietor could not keep his eye on everything. One of the things so neglected was a wine barrel. There was one scientist in the crowd of Mexicans: anyhow. there was one among them with an. at least. rudimentary knowledge of phys ics and who understood the operation of a siphon. That useful instrument was employed for the emptying of the WiHe DdrTei III a siieiit, put HOHe tii' less efficacious. manner. At first only cups were filled and drunk; then the Christmas guests began fill ing bottles. which they could easily conceal Then came the climax of the wo-gallon bucket
 The man with the bucket is the only man SO far arrested. The oth- CTS had gone away, and they were so saturated that they could not create a disturbance of the peace. but are presumably sleeping off their jags in hidden places. If the time required to sleep of a jag has any relation between the size of a jag and the quantity of liquor used in it's construction. Proprietor Filisetti is of the opinion that his Christmas guests will be asleep for a long time.

When the rod was at it's height he opened a valve, which made it descend; when it was at it's lowest he closed the valve, thereby causing it to recommence its upward journey. Now this boy was essentially lazy. He found this occupation mono- tonous in the extreme. And so it hap pened one day that his master came and found no boy, although. to his as- tonishment. the pump was working perfectly The lazy boy had procured some pieces of iron. and with these he had made the engine work the valves automatically. thus giving him his freedom. and this was the first in- vention of an automatic steam engine.

CHRISTMAS AT SCOTSDAlE.

Scottsdale. Dec. 25.-Christmas fes- tivities started off very nicely in Scottsdale by an entertainment in the school house t:. the school Christmas eve. Among some of the numbers on the program was a little play. Santa Claus at Home." displaying MT. and Mrs. Santa Santa in their home life. Milford Hayden acted as Santa and Grace Thomas as Mrs. Santa. Els worth Brown as Jack Frost was the boy of the home.
 Another play, santa Claus Discov- cred" was real cute. Santa came in and filled the children's stockings and sat down a minute to warm. He got drowsy sitting by the fire place and forgot himself. The children came in in their night clothes and discovered him asleep.

soon after that. it is alleged. the acts complained of began.
 The complaint was made sometime ago and the authorities have since in vestigated it with the result that they think they have found enough evidence to warrant the beginning of proceed ings. The examination of Clayson has been set for next Thursday.
 No warrant was issued against the woman for the reason that she has left the valley. She went out from Phoenix week ago last night. presumably for her home and was passenger on the Golden State Limited which was wrecked on Sunday morning west of Benson.
 Whether she was on the train at the time of the wreck is not known. At any rate. her name did not appear in the list of the injured.
 The defendant has spent the greater part of his life in the valley and had always been highly regarded by his neighbors and the public generally. for he is well known throughout the county.
 The Felker woman is about twenty two and of great beauty. During her stay in Phoenix she made an impress sion upon the susceptible youth Of this city. an impression which yielded her several pieces of valuable jewelry. Those familiar with her collection say that it was vast and evidently made up in cities and communities in diff ferent parts of the country. It em- braces a large variety of fraternity pins, indicating the extensive if ephemeral acquaintance of Miss Felk- CT with the college youth of the United States.
 After the scandal of last summer
