The above was not served to several
hundred people, it was enjoyed" by
one man, u. Boots" Repetti by name.
Repetti, who is said to have the
largest appetite OF any individual
within several miles Of the District of
Columbia, at down to a table in a
Southeast Washington saloon at a
table yesterday afternoon at exactly
o'clock, and for two and half hours
the eyes OF several hundred spectators
were eagerly cast upon him.
Though the feat il a marvellous one,
Repetti experienced little difficulty in
clearing the table. a gallon OF water
and two gallons OF beer was used by
him a. q wash-down. During the
course OF the meal, Boots" took sew
eral intermissions of few minutes
each, in order to give his wind a
chance to recuperate.
Repetti, who il "a carpenter and
builder by trade, said last evening that
besides. possessing one OF the largest
appetites in the vicinity OF Washing

performed. N"@
The dining room where Repetti dis
played his wonderful ability yesterday
afternoon was crowded to it, doors,
and many were disappointed because
there was not sufficient room to &C
cOmmOdate the crowd. The best view
that many could get of him was when
the feat was over, as he StrOlled up
and down the floor or the saloon, his
face bearing q look Of supreme con-
tent.
Tit took Repetti forty-five minutes to
eat the biz ham, and after it had been
n called for several pitch
ers of beer, which he seemed to relish.
One bottle of vinegar and one bottle
of catsup were used In flavoring the
barrel of kale which was brought to
the dining room in four large platters.
Near the close of his meal Repetti
called for the second gallon of beer
and plenty of ice water, and he
seemed to have little or no trouble i'm
drinking both.

former employee Of the navy yard, but
il now drawing his weekly earnings
from building contractor. He weighs
about 160 pounds and il about five

willing to wager large sums Of money
that he will not BE- defeated.

the majestic Snake. No very large
placer on the Snaks was ever known
to yield very generously for sue
cessive years, although such exper-
fenced miners as Charley Lane, who
later discovered the gold laden ten
dra near Nome and died a million
aire, and such liberal dredges as
Sweetser and. Burroughs. and the
p~ersevering Charles Cooker spent
years in exploiting them with ar
ing success. But many small for
tunes were realized by those who
profited by the experience of their
predecessors, and confined their ef-
forts to the search for small bars

The mines of Southern Idaho will

POWER OF SOCIETY WOMAN
She Has Great Possibilities to Lin

Society.

Society, If 1t means anything, means
companionship, not just the passing
entertainments Of the hour. The pleas
ure Of a dinner party does not consist
in the food and drinks, and the true
pleasure of a ball is not merely ia the
may dance, but in the mingling of
the people and getting and giving
mutual enjoyment. l want you to real
lie what power and possibility there
is in you to lift and leaven the ton Of
this queer thing, society. Far more
than many realize. it is In the power
OF a women to purify the life in which
h has a part. The old fable of Una
and the lion Is a fact. Sheltered in
her instructive modesty and pureness,
q girl has the power not only to resist
and to refuse, but, far more than that,
to put to shame and rout the insolence
OF a presumptfve familiarity. The

house after a first offense, the ~recogni-
ton Of men or women living In the
sin Of a so-called marriage or after q

quiet dignity every woman Is bound to
protest. and. protesting. to protect
herself. to prevent the repetition and

THE POLICE CT GERMANY
Prominence and Unlimited Authority
is Most Striking Feature to
the Foreigner.

To a foreigner no feature of Ger
man life is more striking than the
prominence and almost unlimited au-
thority of the police. Many of It's
functions are such as In the United
States would be intrusted only to a
court OF law. What seems almost
equally strange, the greater part OF
these functions are exercised quite In
~derendently of the local government.
The minuteness and thoroughness
of the work of the German police are
a constant surprise to the foreigner.
The policeman not only preserves or
der In the streets, but exercises a far
reaching authority in private houses.
For instance, he undertakes the night
ly locking Of ones street door at q
suff1 ciently early hour. He sees that
n has his chimney regularly cleaned.
He ~inspects, at stated times, ones
stoves and heating apparatus, and.
while he is about it, he will look into
a few other matters of domestic con
omy.
One feature OF his activity strikes a
good many American visitors with
favor. In some places singing and
piano playing with open windows are
forbidden, and 1t Is a common house
regulation in large towns that no
pianos may be played after 10 o'clock
in the evening. The German police
mar is also something of a food in
spector in his way, and he keeps a
sharp eye on vendors of food and OF
medicines. 1t Is not an uncommon
sight to see a German policeman halt
a milknan's wagon and on the spot
make an inspection Of his wares.
Should there prove to be anything
wrong with them they are promptly
seized and destroyed and the matter
is Immediately taken in hand by the
higher authorities.

The factories have generally

beets contain a higher per

THE BIGGEST LIAR
Fish and Game Warden Locates

They are telling rich one on State
Game and Fish Warden w. N. Stevens

and having a good laugh at that genial
officials expense.
Stevens encountered a man in the
wilds on Warm Springs, and in casual
conversation the stranger started to
brag about his shooting abilities. Ste
vens guyed him considerably, and finally
the man said: "Well, I'll tell you how
good am. Why, shot 65 turtle doves
in four hours yesterday. They couldn' t
rise fast enough for me. l ran into a
bunch of 'em, l guess, and they were
so thick that I'd have killed whole
lot more, but had to rest to let the
barrels get cool"
Stevens turned his limpid gaze upon
the boaster and asked ''You say you
shot 65 turtle doves in four hours?"
81 certainly did," replied the bold
hunter.
'Do you know who l ann" asked
Stevens.
No, don't, but III bet that you

'Well, I'm the state game. warden
of Idaho, and you may now consider
yourself under arrest for violating the
game laws in two ways: First, by
killing doves out of season; second, by
killing more than "a in one day; by your
own confession.
''Hold on a minute, shouted the
man, as Stevens flashed his badge, ''Do
you know who l ann"
mo, and / don't care. You're un-
der arrest, no matter who you are.
''Well, I'm the biggest liar in Fre-

l never shot turtle dove in my life.

Stevens, who declares the affair is a
