nation to enjoy and that it is an at
tainment highly enjoyed is indicated
by the Chinese habit of cooking and
eating all day long. When frienc
calls upon another in China the first
courtesy extended is an invitation to
eat at the "chow" table. A Chinese
travels from one friends house to
another, and in each home he picks a
little from dishes of "chow" prepared
for his benefit.
The most severe test to which a
Chinese bride is subjected upon COM
ing into the home of her husband for
the first time is that of cooking rice
He: first duty is to cook bowl Of
rice, and if one grain is broken ir
the cooking the course of her welded
life will also be broken, according to
traditions. "Chuk," or broken rice, is
bad omen at all times.
So-called Chinese dishes prepared
in American "chop suey" restaurants
were designed for American palates
and are Stunned by the Chinese. Chi
nese cooking is eminently digestible
If the American nose finds the odoi
of some of the mixtures obnoxious il
is because of the unfriendliness Of
boiling water toward peanut oil, &
fat which the Chinese use exclusively
in their cooking. That the Chinese
are epicures is indicated by the pric,
they pay for some delicacies. Fol
instance, "birds nest" a Transparent
gelatinous matter Of which wild Chi
nese bird builds its nest, costs $50 1
pound. And even at that price it il
INDUCED in at nearly every large din
Ber in China.
The Chinese believe in good foo'
and ordinary service at the table. TIL
Chinese considered barbarous by for
eigners, show their utter contempt fo
western civilization as displayed o.
the dinner table. They chop all meat
very fine and never is meat or gam
carved upon the table. They con
slider it most hideous form of bar
barism. And probably they are right

GRANDSON OF NAPOLEON
GETS $3.50 PER FOR WORK

LOS ANGELES, April 11.-But
three generations from royal purple
to denim overalls marks today the
transition of the stock of Napoleon
from France to California. Here it
has reappeared in the person Of VIII
liam Gordon, who claims to be grand
son of the conquering Corsican. Cor
don, who is 65 years old and gets
$3.50 day for bucking lumber, has
added confirmation to the statement of
the Crittenden Memorial society of
San Francisco, and several experts in
genealogy, that real Napoleonic blood
flows in his veins.
Gordon's story bares another ro-
nance Of Napoleon, which bloomed
even while he was prisoner at st.
Helena The grandmother through
whom comes his royal connection was
Scot, he said, of the name of Cor
don. She was matron Of the French
hospital on the island of Napoleon's
exile. Her story and Napoleon's and
his own, were told by Gordon as fol-
lows:
"My father was born in Edinburgh,
Nov. IL, 1878, where his mother went
from st. Helena when she learned
she was to become mother He
was called John and was known by
her family name of Gordon. He was a
jeweler, and soon after his marriage
he emigrated to America, going to
New London, Conn. l was born there
in 1847. In 1871 my father went tc
San Francisco, where he died in 1885
was his only son.
Il was % years of age when wa:
married in New London to Anna Ell
nina Winchester. She came from the
Scotch Boswells, and we think she
too has a strain of royal blood. After
my marriage l lived in San Francisco
seventeen years. have been EN-
ployed at various jobs here but hav,
always made an honest living, and
am satisfied and happy"
Gordon is keeping at his daily la
Dor, even since his alleged connections
have been made known. Necessit,
compels this, even should he wish t,
enjoy any glorying in his illustriou
ancestor.

COLORADO'S NEEDS LOST SIGHT
0F

The Republican from time to time
has called attention to the RESPONSE
bility of the Colorado delegation in
congress with regard to Colorado IS
prosperity, as that prosperity is con-
cerned in the tariff. The manner in
which the responsibility is being met
is worthy of note, and affords some
interesting contrasts.
Senator John F. Shafroth's hesitan-
cy amounts to positive cowardice, and
shows him shuffling and evasive, as
he has been throughout his entire ca
reer-the monumental political side
stopper of the Rocky mountains. In
Senator Thomas case we get an ag-
gressive, menacing partisanship
which would jeopardize or even sacri-
fee his states prosperity to stand
well with his party leaders and gair
a few appointments. Congressman
Keating at least has the merit OF
frankness and consistency. He an
nounced himself in favor of free SUI
gar before he was nominated, anc
made speeches during the campaign
against the tariff on sugar.
Hesitancy in advancing the inter
ests of Colorado at Washington right
now constitutes an evasion of duty
and the case of the members of the
Colorado delegation merely shows
anew the dangers arising from popu
lar uprisings which sweep unknown
untried. or dangerous men into pub
lie office. Such men always rush tt
the front and shrek for reform loud
est with their eye on office. Persona
interests supersede those of commu
nifty, with such men.
In sharp contrast with the action
or lack of action, of the Colorado
delegation, is the firm, decided stant
taken from the start by the Louisi
ana senators and representatives. Tn,
delegation from that state is firml,
opposed to free sugar and is doins
heroic service in behalf of the suga
industry of the nation. Other state
whose interests are being threatened
by proposed tariff changes are no
lacking in champions, Apparently al
the states in the Union, except Colo
rado, send men to congress to battl
for state prosperity.-Denver Repub
