TRAVELLER KICKS ON COOK
Declares. Continental Cooking Is No
Longer Unchalicnged as to
It's Excellence.

Continental cooking is no longer IN
charged with being unequal-partial
to meats and fishes and very unfair in
Its treatment Of vegetables and fruits
A traveller" who evidently deems
1t prudent to remain anonymous, writ
Ing for the Lady's Realm, complains
that in continental hotels 1t Is almost
impossible to get a good dish of
mashed potatoes, that plain stewed to-
matoes and green peas are unknown,
although many sauces are favored
with the former, and the latter are
used continually as mere culinary
decorations
Carrots are omnipresent, and so Is
caulifower, which the waiter admits
is ''the one vegetable they managed to
cook we'll"
writer lays himself open to the suspi-
cion-one Is in difficult straits indeed.
AS one cannot live on carrots and eau
lidower one has recourse to bread and
fruit. But, alas! the bread is so hard
it breaks the teeth, and the fruit
makes one long for home orchards.

less. The pears are hard and inferior,
and the ordinary grapes are not to

The last hope of all diners is coffee,

corn and tomatoes are all gone, so
that he may revel in vegetable hash

AN AMBUSH FOR WlsPs
Special Fondness of the Queens for
RhodoG cndrons Leads TO Their
Death.

A curiosity in natural history that
must surpass all records has been OBJ
served in garden not far from Alder
shot, says the London Daily Mail. A
number of wasps were heard buzzing
about particular rhododendron bush.
The gardener summoned the owner of
the garden, and the two, proceeded to
slaughter. Within half an hour fifty
queen wasps had been killed.
The next day number more were
buzzing about the bush under the
same fatal but obscure attraction. 1t
was noticed that the wasps were
only attracted to this single bush,
which is one of many. A sugg ested
reason is that the flowers were lit
tie further advanced and SO more
full of honey, but as rule color is al
most as strong an allurement as
scent or the honey sense.
1t is not unusual for a few queen
wasps to be killed at this season,
when the time for nest making is
approaching, but this quantity is I'M
paralleled. The experience suggests
that the wasp might be exterminated.
supposing this to be desirable, II we
all grew specimens of this favored
flower. The special fondness OF queen
wasps ror white flowers of particular
sorts has been observed before, and
some gardeners grow such on purpose.
but fifty N half an hour is new rec
ord of slaughter.
The queens We're killed by pinching
the flowers into which they dived and
which served as a shroud to the guam
tity Of bodies lying around the deadly
ambush of the rhododendron.

MERCHANT HAS PROPER IDEA
Doesn't Like the Way Big City Stores
Are Run and Tells
Why.

The summer visitor in a small sea-
the assortment of merchandise dis.
played in the little store at the head
of the wharf.
The showcase was devoted to an as.
sortment of candy at one end and a
lot of cigars and tobacco at the other
end, and no barrier between. Next to
the showcase stood a motor engine
valued at several hundred dollars.
Thinking to please the proprietor.
says the Youths Companion, the Wis
tor remarked that even the large de-
partment stores in Boston could not
boast Of such a collection.

what my folks want. When man
wants an engine for his bot he wants
it, and if the fish are running he
can't wait to send way to Portland or
Boston for it. He wants it when he
does, then and there"
After little pause he continued: 81
don't like the way they do business in
them big stores. ANYWAY. Why, when
you go into a store up to Boston the
first thing you know somebody asks
you what you want.

Work Of Humorous Mason.

In Lichfield (Eng.) cathedral the cen
trail pillar Of the chapter-house and the
clustered shafts and yaulting ribs
which spread from it are very fine spe-
cimens of early English work. One Of

Of cat with a mouse in its mouth. It
is supposed to have been executed in
a humorous spirit by one of the ma
sons, who, SO far as the stone permit

PRISONERS
GET HEARING
Men Accused of Murder
Taken to DrytOWn
and Examined

Sheriff Gregory and Frank Sangui-
netti, the latter as a deputy, took
Giacomo Sampo, George Sampo, his
brother, and Stefano Cont, for a pre-.
liminary hearing before Justice Blow
err at Urytown on charge of murder
ing Stefano Pistone of that town.
P. Farico, an uncle of Pistone, testi
fled that the deceased had been in the
country about one year, and that he
met his death some time on the night
of November Goth.
Miss Eva Cavallero, a daughter of
the proprietor of the boarding house
in which the fracas took place, said she
was dancing with Stefano Pistone
when Giacomo Sampo came IN and
started to abuse her. Mrs Cavallero,
informed the big miner that he must
keep orderly or get out.
This angered Giacomo, who deliber-
ately punched Pistone, and then struck
the Iandlady over the head with a
chair.
DIR. E. E. Endicott testified that at
the autopsy, which he held assisted by
DR.. A. P. Griffin, he found number
of blood clots pressing on the brain.
He said the skull was also badly frac-
tured on the same side.
The fracture in the opinion of the
doctor, was caused by blunt instru-
ment, and death was due to cerebral
hemorrhage.
George Callandri, who resides near
where the trouble occurred, testified
as an eye witness of the fight. He
told of the deceaseds plea for mercy
and said that while Cont held Pistone,
Sampo beat him over the head with a
rock.
After hearing other witnesses, the
justice bound the three prisoners to
answer without bail. Giacomo Sampo
and Stefano were held as murderers of
Pistone, and George Sampo was held
on a charge of attempt to commit
murder upon Mrs Cavallero, wife OF
the proprietor of the place in which
the trouble started.

Church Repaired

The Methodist church has received a
new roof and other necessary exterior
repairs needed in preserving the in
terror of the structure from further
delapidation. The church was ne.
elected and allowed to run down in a
most shameful manner. Strips of wall
paper on the ceiling were loosened and
dangled from the center, ready to drop
at any time. This has all been tenn
porary repaired and permanent repairs
to the interior will be forthcoming as
soon as sufficient funds can be raised
to warrant the undertaking of the
work.
Rev. Duncan has thus far secured
subscriptions and cash amounting to
considerable over 5000. and this money
will all be used in paying for the ex-
terror repairs, which will cost about
$500.
A new piano will also be installed In
the near future, and a collection of
$50 will be raised for the purchase of
the same.

LOCAL SHOW
VERY GOOD
Audience Well Pleased
With Performance
of Amateurs

The show given in Loves hall last
Saturday evening, by local talent,
entitled. 1.-THE Honor of Cowboy"
proved quite a hit, and was enjoyed
by large audience.
While many in the cast were making
their debut before the footlights, we
can frankly say the play was we'll
carried throughout, and deserved all
the praise it received.
The plot was laid IN the mountains
of Montana, and carried with it a
pretty love romance, cowboy S
honor, and a death scene, which was
cleverly brought out by Zeph Dial
Porto, and Miss Wayne Scapuzzi.
L. j. Craddock took the part of a
frontier Judge, and it was his happy
lot to fall deeply in love with a
beautiful widow, named Mrs Susan
Trevelyn, who belonged to New
York's exclusive set, and who was
visiting at summer resort in the
mountains. Miss Hilda Sanguinetti
took the role of the charming widow,
and although she is but girl in her
teens, her personality and costume
were commented upon by many in the
audience. The judge won his prize
in the last act.
VIM. G. Snyder, was the sheriff
who loved to shoot h out of things,
and his role as sheriff jenkins. was
as we'll hlled in the love scene, as it
was Ia his capturing the den of rob-
bers. Miss Inez Tam, as Lucy Arbuckle
was captivated by the sheriff's brave
acts and his pretty features, and the
last act also wound up with their
nuptials.
Roy B. Shelley, as Missouri Smith,
played his part exceptionally good.
His character as German American,
brought fourth much laughter and
mirth.
VIM. Penny had a good makeup,
and acted his part very efficiently.
VIM. Schroeder as Jim Selby, was
probably the most typical cowpuncher
that ever acted on that platform. He
had a long interesting part, and his
costume was perfect. Bob Kerr was
heap fire water man, named Scar Face,
and played his part very WELL
George Kirby, Frank Fuller and
Chas. Cademartori were other charac-
tiers, who helped fill in the cast, which
was played without a hitch of any
kind.
During the acts, Eda Dial Porto sang
a Spanish Serenade and, Billie Endi-
colt played duet from Lucia. +"
Both were ably rendered and enjoyed.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be used by the local band for i'm
provements in personal property.

HIGH SCHOOL
MASS MEETING
Plans To Help Jackson
Secure the School
Discussed

n mass LlCGbiuB VI SibiNCiS Woo
called to order on Monday evening
last, for the purpose of discussing
ways and means whereby Jackson
could Offset the efforts and struggles
waged by the citizens of Suffer Creek
for the selection of certain location
for the county high school which has
been granted at the recent election.
The band assembled on the court
house steps at Z 30 p. M, and struck
up several selections which drew a
number of citizens into the vicinity
of the courthouse and when the meet
ing was called to order at p. m. by
George Brown, the superior court
room was we'll filled with the leading
citizens of Jackson.
DR.. j. F. Wilson was nominated
and elected temporary and permanent
chairman of the organization, which
was being established, and Jas. j.
Wright was elected as the secretary.
After the meeting was organized,
Richard Webb suggested that Union
high school be considered with view
of passing I'D the county high school
proposition. advancing as his reasons
for the suggestion, the fact that in
that manner of procedure the town
would positively be assured of such an
institution of learning, whereas, if a
he no txuo
towns which are now antagonistic, it
would mean bitter hostility, and in the
event of Suffer Creek securing the
location, jackson would suffer the in
convenience of sending her scholars to
that town, and be compelled as we'll
to pay tax that would materially not
benefit the city property one dollar.
He then suggested that committee
on the general question of whether a
county or union district is advisable
for Jackson under the circumstances.
and particularly to look into the legal
aspect of the matter, touching the
question of whether or not the people
of Jackson district could be held for
the support of the county high school
as we'll:
Ernest Spagnoli, C. W. Caldwell,
DIR. Schacht, DR.. Gall, DR.. Endicott
were appointed On the committee
which mad stormy debate as to the
general duties which 1t was to per-
form. A motion was then made by G..
P. Vicini to appoint permanent COM
mittee of eleven on ways and means to
select a temporary and permanent
location for the proposed high school.
The committee named are
Geo. w. Brown, DR.. E. E. Endi-
colt, VIM. F. Detert, Benz. F. Tay-
lor, DR.. A. M. Gall, Alfonso Ginoc-
chic, Chas. F. Culbert, Mrs e. P.
vicinl, Mrs E. E. Endiott, Mrs B. F.
Taylor, Mrs Chris Marelia.
The chairman then asked for some
suggestion as to a name which might
be given the organization just formed.
Among other suggestions the name
of Mutual High School Club of Jack
son. was suggested and adopted by a
unanimous vote.
1t was then carried by vote that the
committee appointed meet every Mon
day evening to discuss plans of pro-
cedure in carrying on the campaign
for securing the site of the proposed
high school IN the city of jackson.
Dr. E. Endicott then made motion
which was carried appointing a per-
manent committee on order of bust
ness and by laws, consisting of three
members. Those appointed were DR..
Schacht, R. |. Kerr and Chas. P.
