Steak and High living.

When the increased cost OF living
is discussed today, the complainant
usually begins by quoting the prices
Of rib roast or sirloin steak. In i740
the best beef sold In Boston AZ twelve
cents a pound but from colonial days
down TO very late period meat was
supplied In a most primitive manner.
AS late as the seventies everybody,
even in cons derable towns kept
chickens and nearly everybody a pig
and a cow. and all this live stock was
permitted to roam at VII through
the streets Pigs were butChered in
the back Yards Of private residences,
and the carcass hung frnm the
branches Of convenient apple tree
The butcher bought what cattle he
could, and at times the meat was ex-
cellent in quality but more often the
carcass was that OF cow that no
longer gave milk, of 4 bull that had
lost his bloom. or Of a steer whose
work under the yoke was. no longer
efficient. and invariably p steak din
ner was heralded by the vigorous
pounding with the potato masher
wtelded by the staiwart arm Of the
cook The average quality of beef
was so poor that pork Was rightly
preferred as food and was sold for
double the price Of beef, In lT3I
Francis F'ilkin notes q sale of twenty
pounds Of boui life nr seventY-fiVe

quarter cents a pound cheap enough

The popular conception of Omar

The more intimate and serious opiu-
ION concerning The astroromer-poet
seems to depend largely upon the
Y viewpoint Of the writer. So that a
most startling variety Of ideas upon
the sUtiect have fouuG expression in
print. In the whole range Of Persian
literature no poet holds So peculiar
q position. Is So widely known or
has ocCasioned such diverse criticism
Because cf his oVertopping scientific
attainments he vas claSsed rather as
= mathematician ana philosopher, than
as a poet by earlier writers. He has

These different opinions may be
accounted for ia part by 0mar's con
sistent Inconsistency. arising from the
various experiences and moods of a
long life devoted IN the contemplation

by the attrihation To him Of views

Percy Carter. a negro, who was ar

dealing In cocaine, plead guilty TO the
charge when his case was called in
Police court yesterday morning. but an
examination of the white powder sup
posed TO have been cocaine. which was
found on his person when he was ar
rested. proved not TO be drug, but
was a harmless white powder accord
ing to the analysis OF the city chem

when Justice CrutchfeId was told
that the stuff was not cocaine, the me-
gro was discharged from custody, al

CARRANzA TO QUIT
# OTHERS Do ALSO
WILL GIVE UP OFFICE If VILLA
AND ZAPATA RETIRE TO
PRIVATE LIFE.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-The
American government was officially
informed today by the minister of
foreign relations at Mexico City that
General Car-anza had submitted his
resignation to the national conven-
ton at Aguas Calientes on the condi-
ton that Generals Villa and Zapata
resign their posts in the constitution
alist army and retire to private life.
| General Carranza's action was TAX.
en- purely in the interest of domestic
peace. No word was received Of what
action was taken by the convention.
| Opinions varied in official circles as
| to whether either Villa or Zapata
| would give such assurances, although
the northern chief had repeatedly
stated to American consular agents
that he had no ambition to be presi.
dent of Mexico or hold any Of the
numerous Offices for which his name
| has been mentioned. 1t was believed
that there would be less difficulty in
