The LambertVille Record.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1912
Settled Out of Court.

Gus Forsman was an honest Swede
who settled ON Kansas claim. The
Missouri Pacific Railway passed his
land and took from his meadow about
thirty acres of fine grass land. Gus
had but one COW, which he pastured
along the right Of way of the railroad.
1t was not long before a cylinder
head blew out from a passing locomo-
tive, killing the COW instantly. Gus
was indignant and swore in several
languages. Soon the claim agent OF
the railroad company waited on him.
"Now Mr.. Forsman," said the agent,
"your COW was trespasser; she had
no business on our right of way; /
come to settle with you, and / am in a
hurry. am the claim agent of the
company. How will you settle"
"Now Mr.. Claim Agent" said Gus
"I ban after no trouble with your
railroad company; I ban poor Swede
farmer; yust give you two dollar,
and you go to blazes with your rail-
road company, and let me alone"
The. claim agent settled. We can
not vouch for the truth of this last
item; but the story was told by the
claim agent himself, who was law
yer.

Mon Who Walked on All Fours.

In the kingdom Of Poland there was
formerly law according to which any
person found guilty of SANDER was
compelled to walk on all tours through
the streets of the town where he lived
accompanied by the beadle, as a sign
that he was dlsgraced and unworthy
of the name of man. At the next pub
lie festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon hands and
knees underneath the banqueting ta-
BILE and barking like a dog Every
guest was at liberty to give him as
many kicks as he chose, and he who
had been slandered must toward the
end of the banquet throw n picked
bone ut the culprit, who, picking 1t up
with his mouth. would leave the room
ON all fours

PEPYS, LITTLE FEAST.
At Which the Diarist Jared Better
Than He Did on Washday.

Mr.. Samuel Pepys, of the famous
"Diary," had rather more than his
share Of human weaknesses and frail-
ties, but had he been a better man 1t
is certain that his DIARY" would have
been duller book.
1t Is, for example, an undoubted fact
that Mr.. Pepys was something OF a
gormand-was rather fonder OF the
table and of the delights thereof than
a really wise man ought to have been.
1t is to this trait In his character ana
TO his curious habit of jotdng down
rough notes of what he had had Tor
dinner that we owe thousand little
details regarding the table OF well TO
do Englishmen In the reign OF his
majesty King Charles H., of hilarious
memory.
What will be Thought of the follow
ing for nice, dainty little meali 1t
Is the menu of little feast" as he
calls 1t, which the diarist gave every
year In commemoration of his being
operated on successfully for a danger
Gus disease. He proudly chronicles
that the dishes on this occasion includ-
ed "a frlcassee of rabbits and chickens.
a leg of mutton boiled, three carps In
a dish, great dish Of side OF lamb,
a dish of roasted pigeons. dish OF
four Holsters, three tarts, lamprey
plea most rare plea dish or an
chovies and good wine Of several sorts.
And all things mighty and noble and
to my great content" he adds COM
placently.
The number of guests on this occa-
sion is not given, but at another time.
with six guests, he has after oysters
a hash of rabbits and lamb and rare
chine of beef; next great dish or
roasted fowl-eost me about 30 shil-
lings-and tart, and then fruit and
cheese"
About 10 o'clock at night he sends
his guests away after good sack
possett and cold meat" The whole
will cost him, he observes. about is
say f20 of present day English money.
These are what the dfarlst calls
"feasts" On ordinary occasions the
fare Is, of course, much more modest
for instance:
"Dined at home with my wife. IL
being washing day. we had good pie
baked of a leg of mutton"
No doubt the poor man was thankful
enough to get that, for one gathers
from the "Diary" that he generally
had cold meat on washing days. In
those days, look you, washing day was
washing day. Mrs. Pepys and her
people" or three maids and
cook maid-did 1t themselves-no
washerwomen, and the good lady and
her helpers were generally up at
o'clock in the morning In summer.
