NIX. STEWART WAS HOST
AT Dinner ON FOURTH
Entertained Friends on IDde-
pGndeDCG Day

Captain John A. Cobb is in receipt
of papers of recent arrival from Du'-
ban ,one of which the Natal Mercury,
contained the following account of q
dinner given by Mr.. and Mrs. N. E.
Stewart on July 4th, which will
doubtless be of interest to their
friends in Americas. The story, as
sent Captain Cobb, follows:
The residence of Mr.. N. B. Stew
art American consul, situated on
Musgrove road, Berea, was, on indie.
pendence Day July ~ beautifully de-
corated with red, white and blue, an
the stars and stripes" were very
much in evidence There were be-
tween 25 and 80 guests present to
celebrate the occasion.
THE luncheon was a sumptuous
one On entering the home of so
charming a hostess as Mrs. Stewart,
there is a ring of genuine sincerity
pervading the atmosphere, so that one
feels thoroughly at home. 1t is just
such conditions which make the Stew
art home the home of Americans.
There were two features which le!t
their impressions. In the dining
room the presidents picture was
hanging prominently on the wall ar
tisticallv surrounded by the folds oe
"Old Glory" and Mrs. Stewart, the
daughter of Captain John A. Cobb, all
eX-captain of the Confederate armv
was seen seated next to an ex-surgeol
of the union army.
All combined to make the COM
pany feel that they had been brought
together TO celebrate the day, leaving
creed and politics behind.
After a many-course luncheon.
during which Mr.. Stewart proposed
the toast of "The President of tn"
United States" DR.. Sinclair, the toast
of Our Host and Hostess" and DR..
McCord the toast of "The Stars and
Stripes" those present departed, feel
ing that their hearts beat as warm
$4,000 miles away from home, as if
they had been there that day. n

wishes of the American colony"

All dressed up-with spicy condi-
ments-and no place to go!
That was-almost-the predica-
ment of Mr.. Free Lunch.
He has been threatened with sum-
mary ejectment from the saloon.
But simultaneously, he has been
welcomed into the church! 1t was
the First Methodist church of Aur-
ora, ILL.,, which took the lead in es-
tablishing the lunch as an adjunct
to the altar.
Times have been pretty hard of
late for Free Lunch. Some time
ago he was exiled from the saloons
in Ohio; and he has been discredit-
ed in many other localities. And
now Chicago, his grand central
hangout, is also threatening to put
the memorable kibosh on him for
good and all Miss Jane Adams, II
is true, has come to his defense
saying: "The saloon is the poor
mans club. Why separate the food
that fills from the cup that cheers
and thus make the saloon merely O
booze shop"

A HARD DRINKER BUT
STILL HOLDS HIS JOB

over, the secretary knows that
this young man imbibes freely,
and strange as 1t may seem, pays
him because he is a good drinker
The young man in question is
George F. Mitchell of Washing
ton. But before you form an
opinion or this young man and
his employer, you should know
that he drinks nothing stronger
than tea-and that his position
is supervising tea examiner" of
the treasury department.
Up to date he has never been
known to test less than four
gallons of tea a day. He could
tell in his sleep the difference
between cup of Ping Suey
Green, Scented Oriental Pekoe,
or Foochow Oolong. He can rec
ognize by second nature whether
the brand which milady serves at
p. m. is going to fill her with
cheer immortalized in literature,
or with indigo blue, tale, gypsum
or barium sulpIhate. 81.
Mitchell has seven men In his
charge, located in New York,
Boston, Chicago, st. Paul, Taco
ma, San Francisco and Homo
lulu. Like Mitchell, these men
must test several gallons of tea
day to determine whether or
not the importations from the
far-off tea fields measure up to
the official standards set by
Mftchell's office.
Tea is the one article of food
which is measured according to a
set standard. Twelve grades are
selected yearly. Then every chest
of tea that enters the United
States must conform to these
standards-or farewell. The tea
drinking determines the quality
and fitness for consumption.

HOME BROKEN
INTO BY THUGS

Ben Klegman, local mer-
chant, awoke at 12:40 o'clock
this morning at the sound of
burglars prowling through the
lower floors of his home, TOT
North 10th street. He hurried
out of bed and crept downstairs,
revolver in hand, but the thieves
had heard him and departed
hastily by the back door. A
hasty inventory showed Kleg-
man that the marauders had
stolen his brown slip-on, and
a solid gold locket containing his
wife's picture. Mrs. Klegman is
out of the city. Klegman noti-
fled police headquarters at once,
but all search for the burglars
proved in vain.

GRAPHoPHoNE GUNMAN

Burglars have discovered that
the graphophone is mightier than
the gun! They have just adopted
It with enthusiasm as their most
reliable and potent weapon.
The theory is that a revolver
can be used only in one of two
ways: If you enter a home and
stick a gun in the indignant pro-
prietor's face, you have to keep
threatening him with 1t all the
time you are there and this hamp-
ers your predatory proceedings.
The other method is to shoot the

were admitted as the fashionable
substitute for plain white. Once
the rigorous prescription of stiff
white shirt bosoms for evening
wear was thus relaxed. there was
no telling to WHAT extremes the
daring might go.
Already, they have reached
BLACK. The distinctive features
of the new attired are the accorde-

the black silk stock worn tight
about the neck in place of collar
and cravat.

There's another way:
Peter Nanni, proprietor of a
Chicago store, was nodding In his
chair the other evening. Burglar,
entering, found that any slight
noise would startle Peter into
nervous wakefulness.
So he put dreamy lullaby up
on the graphophone and gently
sprayed nodding Nanni with an
opiate shower of soothing melody.
