No Paprika In Her Bones,

A Hungarian restaurant in New
York became famous for it's culinary
triumphs. and many visitors to the
city became acquainted there with the
mysterious dishes produced in Hunga-
rian kitchens. In one of these parties
several years ago was a young matron
from the far west, who. anxious to ex-
tend her culinary knowledge and see
ing how her husband relished one of
the courses of the meal, asked the
head waiter for the recipe for the dish.
Il can give it to you. madam" was
the courteous reply. but you can't
make it,
'And why not?" asked the sightseer.
Because you must be Hungarian.
1t might come right for an Austrian.
but an American never. You must
have paprika in your bones" And,
taking that high ground, the request
was refused.-New York Tribune.

The testimony in the cases of James

Judge Shortall yesterday charged with
battery, produced a strange situation.
The men were found the day previous
locked in each others arms and rolling
about the dock where their steamer was
moored.
Policeman Dover had difficulty in
separating them. When he told the
story yesterday morning neither de-
fendant could recQllect the incident re-
ferred to. although the de1apidated con-
dition of their faces corroborated every
thing that Dover said.
On the ground that neither defendant
knew that battery had been committed,
