the same as the rest. II is a nifty
place and it costs a quarter to walk
by on the sidewalk and smell the
cooking.
When ] sat down at the table the
chocolate soldier in charge handed me
a French menu. There Is always
something strange to me about
French menu IN the hands Of a Sene-
gambian. ! don't believe he knew
anything more about 1t than I did II
I couldn't call off the bill of eatsr
any better than he could. ] asked
him about several of the dishes and
he expressed deep, dense ignorance
Finally l selected nine dishes that
looked good to me. The colored gef1-
tleman said he thought I had made
a good selection, and after being gone
three-quarters Of an hour he wheeled
my order into the cafe on a tea cart.
It was then that I discovered that
everything I had ordered was pots-
toes. There were potatoes In nine
different styles of French cooking I
have only one thing to say in fzfor
OF the colored person. He didn't hang
around waiting for a tip.
I haven't had the heart to look a
potato IN the face since and an

to the poet Southey, whom she knew
merely through his reputation as an
arbiter in matters of poetry The
poet was much pleased with her work
and a correspondence sprang up, al
though Southey was able at the time
to secure a publisher for the poem.
A few years later Southey met his
young protege and proposed to her
that they cooperate in the writing
of a poem that he had long planned.
This venture did not prove, however,
to be a success. but their correspond
ence went on. Once Caroline visited
Southey in his home, but so en-
crossed was he with his work that
he neglected her and left her enter
tainment entirely to the poet Words
worth. who was also visiting Southay
at the time.
Eventually, in 1899, Southey, then

sented at the local playhouse this sea-

small but notwithstanding that the
company played with the same zeal
that might have been used before q

Those worthy of more special men
tion were Mrs. Bennett, as Mrs Doyle

was extremely we'll taken and without
exception everyone present expressed
themselves as we'll pleased with the
company.
Unfortunately there is no way Of
knowing to a certainty in advance

sirable by the theatre goers and as u
result Of the misunderstanding they

Man Attempting a
SMI0dIe Claims Home
Is IN Valley city

Stanton, N. D., Nov. 21. = Gus.
Schlenker Of Mannhaven, this county,
had narrow escape from crooks ID
Minneapolis. After selling a carload
Of cattle in South st. Paul Schlenker
went to the st. Johns hotel in Min
neapolis. While there he met a man
who introduced himself as J. A.
Thompson and claimed his home was
in Valley City, N. d. They discussed
matters about Mercer county for
while when two other men came in.
One, was introduced as Dr.. Mayo Of
Rochester, Minn., and tho othee AsaJ
A. Cotter Of Oklahoma City. At th8
suggestion OF the men . trip was
made to Minnehaha Falls and then
through the parks. On their return
all four went to Thompson's room in
the Mecca hotel at 1925 Nicollet ave-
nue.. Immediately after entering the
room Schlenker found himself gazing
into a huge revolver. Fortunately he
had only 81 in cash. The trio took
that from him and then demanded
that he give them a check for $4,000
on the First State Bank Of Expension
of this county. He was forced to
write the check at the point OF q
revolver and one of the men took It
out to get it cashed. Later he re-
turned and insisted that Schlenker
send a telegram :c.liesting the pay
ment of the check. They held him
prisoner for several hours and began
to talk about betting on horse races.
Appearing to fall in with that scheme
he was permitted to accompany the
trio to saloon, where they had two
rounds Of drinks. Schlenker watched
for an opportunity and when another
man came in to the place he jumped
through the door and ran for police'
man. On his return to the saloon the
three men had escaped.

conservative estimate would place tho

This corn Is being we'll cured, and

it is quite likely that from eighty to
ninety per cent of the seed will be-

TuS OF MExlcoN AFFAIR.

Washington. Nov. 21.-The Wash
ington government believes the pow
er Of the Huerta government is slow
ly "crumbling and disintegrating."
No positive steps were taken by the
administration within the last few
days to compel compliance with .the
demand for the elimination Of Hu-
erta.
No preparations are made for a
blockade Of Mexican ports as vari-
ously reported.
Parleys with the constitutionalists
were carried one merely for formative
purposes. ~,
These salient facts were obtained
from those with whom the president
discussed the Mexican situation.
The impression Huerta is losing
control is based on dispatches to the
state department, showing diplomatic
pressure from without has much to
do with weakening the resources Of
the provisional government.
There was emphasis in the denial
from the White House that any steps
Of summary character has been
taken through Instructions to Charge
O'Shaughnessy within the last few
days.
Regarding the future program Of the
United States, the president believes
it must be kept within the secret
counsels of the administration. Pub
lication atorehand would impair its
efficacy.
