mat Mr.. Pepys was something OF
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 and
to his curious habit of joting down
rough notes of what he had had for
dinner that we owe a thousand little
details regarding the table of we'll to
do EnglishmeD i'll the reign of his
majesty King Charles H., of hilarious
memory.
What will be Thought of the follow
ing for a nice. dainty little meal: 1t
is the menu of a little feast" as he
calls it, 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 fricassee of rabbits and chickens,
a leg of mutton boiled. three carps in
a dish. a great dish of a side Of lamb.
a dish OF roasted pigeons. a dish Of
four HOLSTERS, three tarts. a lamprey
plea most rare Plea dish Of 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 true.
with six guests. he has after oysters
hash Of rabbits and lamb and a rare
chine Of beef: next a great dish of
roasted fowl-cost NE about 30 shii-
Iings-and a 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 EGO of present day English money.
These are what the diarist calls
| "feasts" On ordinary occasions the
fare is. of course, much more modest
| for instance:
being washing day. we had a good pie
baked of 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
''peoplc"-two or three maids and
cook maid-did II themselves-no

her helpers were generally up at 4
o'clock in the morning in summer.

Wagner's Summary

Chicago, Nov. S.-About the only
bullIsh hing in wheat is the flour bus
mess. Spring wheat mills are running
at record capacity and eastern mills
are loaded down with orders ahead.
Tone of newspaper comment on wheat
is still bearish. It is claimed that 20
100000 of the wheat received $each-
ing primary points on this crop rep
resents plications-represent wheat
which has been counted twice. News
on winter wheat is unusually bright
and the plant promises to go into win
ter quarters with high condition.
/ If the government figures at lis p.
m, Chicago time. today indicate 3,20O.-
100000 corn, the corn market may sag
another cent on the report. The ad-
vance guard of May corn investors is
now making its appearance. The mar
ket will ultimately be well lined with
resting orders at the 45c to 4Sc level.
On the last big crop of 1910 host OF
orders were placed too low at 43c to
46c-never filled.
Argentine news is the main wheat
factor. Just as long as Argentine
wheat progresses the bulges in wheat

The hog run at six markets this
week is 10000 against 100000 last
year! There is terrific hog shortage.

much-mooted question of an extra ses

whether they are listening to boy or

ne and opens with very clever song
duet. One young woman then re-
moves a wig and apparently has fooled
the audience into believing they are
gazing at a young man who has done
a remarkable piece of character work.
But here is where the mystery comes
in. Manager Dolly says the boy hap
pens to be a girl who, for purposes of
deception, wears her hair in male fash
ion. At any rate, the deception is so
cleverly done that the piece of work
is easily the seasons novelty.
