May the organization prosper
and grow in proficiency until
they take their place beside the

bands in the whole Southwest.
We are safe in saying that they
will do it too, for their leader,

Some of the papers in this sec

the eastern part of the state for
making so much fuss about a
little snow. 1t is likely that if
these editors had taken trip to
that part of the state, as did The

they needed moisture they would
be a little more charitable.

LIVERMORE, March 13.-Mexico, the

temporarily depopulated last night

served with liquor and then returning
to Livermore and disturbing the town

KINGS AND QUEENS ARE
FAMOUS AS FISH EATERS
Ruler of Syria at Head of List
of EpicureS

Many famous persons both in modern
and ancient times have been known as
devoted fish eaters. Gatis, queen Of
Syria, was so fond of fish that she or
dered all caught within the limit of
her kingdom to be brought to her in
order that she might be continually
supplied with the choicest quality, says
the Boston Globe.
Philoxenes of Cytheria, on learning
from his physician that he must die of
indigestion from having eaten exces-
sively Of a delicious hsh, said, BE 1t
So but before L go allow me to finish
what remains"
Athens was a city of fish eaters and
SITS cooks were famous for their knowl-
edge OF cooking fish The wise writers
of the day spent much time in record
ing receipts for preserving fish in salt,
oil or herbs. There was a law in the
city that forbade a fishmonger to sit
down until he had disposed of all his
stock, on the ground that a standing
position made him more submissive and
inclined to sell at reasonable price.
Rome inherited from the Greeks the
love for fish. Her soldiers were fed on
fish, her generals ate fish, her senators
were epicures in fish and her emperors
recognized no dish more desirable than
fish.
Lucullus caused canal to be cut
through a mountain near Naples to
DTlnR up In6 sea dUQ us nS1SS 10 the
center of the gardens of his sumptuous
villa The love of fish in those days
was a mania The red mullet was
. priced beyond all food. A sauce called
garum, made from the entrails and
blood of mackerel and other fishes,
brought high prices. and great prizes
were offered the man who could make
a similar sauce out of the liver of the
red mullet.
& In more modern times kings have
cbeen known for their liking of fish In
the reign of Edward II in England
sturgeon could be served only at the
kings table. In France fishmongers
were licensed by the king. Louis XII
sswas so fond of fish that he appointed
ss'six fishmongers to supply his table.

MGreat "a.
Under the reign of Louis XIV fish
eating became as popular at the French
{ court as il had ever been in Rome A
story is told that when fish failed to
arrive from the seacoast in time for a
grand dinner given by the prince OF
Conde TO the king, the princes chef
an illustrous purveyor of fish, was so
chagrined he ran to his chamber, took
a sword and pierced his heart.
