TAKE DRIED BEANS.
Canned baked beans of a standard
variety are good camp foods, but they
are heavy, and when lightness must
| be considered, dried peas or lima beans
will be easier to carry. 1t is SIM
pie matter to make them delicious If
they are properly soaked, boiled and
seasoned, then cooked in the proven
bal hole in the ground.
Meats are also a problem. Bacon,
ham and little salt pork are staples
that will exc out many meal; dried
beef can also be used, although 1t Is
thirst-maker, while a can or two
of corned beef may be supplied for
hash. All other timed meats should
be foresworn. Better far depend up
on the days hunt or catch than to
live from a tin can.
Beans and peas, in the form OF a
chowder, plain, stewed or baked, are
excellent meat substitutes. Canned
fish may be used in emergencies, pro-

with waxed paper. the best brands

Camp is no place for the ready-to-
, eat, "predigested" cereal. In the open,
boys with moderate appetites become
ravenously hungry and the foods that
count are the ones that stick to the

wheat meal preparations make the
best cereals imaginable that will stand
by morning of activity.

The face of the Lord is against
them that do evil, to cut off the re-

The righteous cry, and the Lord

all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that
are of a broken heart; and saveth
Many are the Affections of the right

of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his

ridge the southern extremity of which is
called Bald Eagle hill, and the lowlands
around what long after became Shep-
herds and the grounds of the Bellevlew

reasonable to assume that his house
stood on Bald Eagle Hill on a site now
occupied by a frame house topped with
an observatory and owned by Charles
Hughes. Kirby called this estate Blue
Plains. and the name endures.
A good guess may be made as to the
reason for the choice Of this name. On
the highland on the south side or oxon

ten men in a hundred use cine lump.
Very few men use two Jumps: they jump
from one to three. Then come the fell
lows who put in five or six. That coffee
would be sickening sweet TO you or me-.
but they like il that way. One Of my
customers puts a lump of sugar in his
mouth and sips his coffee through IL till
the sugar dissolves. Then he puts an
other lump in his mouth and so on TIL
his coffee mug is empty.
Il have another customer who gulps
down his coffee almost boiling hot and
he never fiinches. Another man orders
black coffee and puts salt in it. few
men take their mugs of coffee and feed
1t to themselves with spoon, just SIP
1t by the spoonful till il is gone. Another
man buys a mug Of coffee and two bis
cults and breaks the biscuit up in the
coffee. eating the mess with his spoon.

<<KH EN- are just as fond OF eating sweet

lunchroom friend of The Star man.
This isn't a general dining room or
big restaurant, but just a dairy lunch.
ouick lunch, or bakery lunch. Men eat
lunches from the time they come down
town in the morning until they go home
after the theaters let out, or later. Our
rush hours are from 1870 to l:3O. but
we sell stuff all day and most OF the
night. Look at that counter; there are
pies-custard, pumpkin. apple. evaporat-
ed apple, peach. dried or canned, and cram
berry. Over there are jelly tarts. turn
overs. centennial rolls. cream puHs'
doughnuts, pound cake. cream cake. jelly
cake Washington cake, chocolate cellars
and charlotte russo. In summer We put
i'm ice cream. That pastry counter gets
cleaned off every day. Men are great
nastry eaters We could not do business
with men unless we kept piles OF sweet
stuff on the counter.
"Men are big coffee drinkers. Some
of them are fiends. We have customers
who come in here a dozen times a day
and drink a mug Of coffee. Most OF these
coffee drunkards take 1t black and hot.
but they commonly put in lot OF sugar.

Historic Corner.

THE demolition OF the big red brick
building at the northeast corner or
14th and III streets recalls brief sketch
OF this corner. which was published az
a real estate item about the time OF the
erection of the building now being torn
down. The following is taken from The
Star of December 10, ASST:
The old frame structures at the north
east corner OF 14th and III streets have
been recently removed and workmen are
now engaged in erecting a building which
will be used for stores and dwelling
house. The Improvement is being made
for Mrs. Helen Cook.
In the removal of the old buildings one
OF the ancient landmarks OF the city was
destroyed. The old house was erected
about 1895, by John Smothers, a coll
ored man. and in the building adjoining
with the front on III street one of the
first schools in the city for colored chill
dren was established. This school was
conducted for many years by John f.
Cook. father of John +. Cook. collector
