 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blaekened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpea chable; the next we were grap bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now 1 we tackled-not without fear-La known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps. mushrooms froK Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pl geonS eggs and hundred diEerent foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us. and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crev!ce filters and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now game the real substantial meal, where ot smaller ones. containing gravies, etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig. forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest. of mushroom. of vegetables and of sea slugs.

ed in Oklahoma City the other day
when the private car Of delegation
OF hotel men from Denver was enter
ed and ransacked in a search for liquor
These strangers were guests of the
state. They had come TO attend the
meeting of the Missouri-Kansas Hotel
Mems Association and were entitled to
courteous treatment The officers of
the state who forcibly entered their
private car and turned things upside
down in their hunt for liquor found
none but they would not have been
justified in their boorish action even if
liquor had been found
True friends of prohibition are not
fanatics who would invite a guest to
their homes and then search him. But
that is exactly what these offcious
officers did to the visiting hotel men
in Oklahoma City To treat every
stranger as a suspected bOotlegger is
not compatible with common hospital
ity. The dispatches say that the Wis
itors were indignant at such a reeep-
ton, which reflected upon their
sobriety and offended their dignity.
And no wonder Has the time come
in Oklahoma when every stranger who
arrives in that state must stand and
have his pockets turned inside out up
on the order Of some petty official who
mas more zeal than brains?
1t is just such foolish and unreason-

In q recent number Of the New York

that, so far as the American Medical

it clear to the deluded sectarian duDes

and patients. The willy patent medi-

are trying desperately to make the
Eddyites and tho medical sectarians
believe that they are in danger of
martyrdom in the near future. As has
been repeatedly stated. the federal con.
gress has no Jurisdiction whatever over
the practice of medicine in the states.
The followers of cults, fads and sects
are needlessly excitinfi themselves. No
one has any desire to interfere with
their freedom to believe anything they

He used to take drink Of whisky
when he was feeling gay and frisky;
and when his health was out of plumb.
he tried to heal himself with rum. In
fiery days Of mid-July, he tried to cool
himself with rye: when winter storms
began to toot, he warmed himself with
tangle-foot. When children came. to
cheer his home, from tankards tall he
blew the foam. and when friends died
he tried to drown his grief by pouring
bugjuice down. Whate'er the crisis or
event. it called for Spiritus Frument.
And when this picked guy was dead
in that old town he painted red, his
poor. sad, weary heartsick frau must

man might recline And while they

DR.. Lee suggests as an application Of
the same principle that no petition for

seems to be in that fact pretty good
implication that he has not made good
