Lawyer Scored on JUDGE.

Lawyer scored on Judge.
Lord Mansfield received a hard SET.
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house of lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to a trust estate. In the course
Of his argument he had frequent occa-
sion to use the word Curator" always
pronouncing it in the manner approved
In the Scottish courts; that is. with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears Of Lord
Mansfield. who, though a Scotsman by
birth, had taken pains to become
Anglicized. At last he broke out:
mr.. Erskine, we are In the habit in
this country Of saying curator. fol-
lowing the analogy Of the Latin, in
which, as you are doubtless aware. the
penultimate syllable is long"
Il thank your lordship very much,''
returned Erskine. I'VE are weak
enough in Scotland to think that in
pronouncing the word curator we are
following the analogy Of the English
language; but l need scarcely say that
I bow with pleasure to the opinion Of

BLENDING IS NECESSARY
TO KEEP COFFEE SAME
Forrest Crissey, insthe Saturday Evening
Post

Forrest Crissey, in.the Saturday Evening
Post.
The object toward which the coffee
blender must constantly strive Is that
OF giving the consumer an identical
cup Of coffee whenever he buys the
same brand. When he finds the cup
of coffee that just suits his taste he
wants that particular flavor and
strength repeated in every cup he
drinks thereafter. He wants to know
that when he calls for a certain brand
Of coffee he is going to get makings
Of a certain number Of cups OF coffee
identical with the one that first rams
the bell Of his approval. The layman
might easily imagine that this would
simply be q matter of roasting and
grinding the same grade OF coffee: but
such is far from being the case. The
same grade Of coffee may show
startling variations when brewed in
the cup.
1.-THE only method by which the job
Der has been able to s%tandardize his
brand of coffee, SO that the standiza-
ton will carry to the cup and maintain
its characteristics in flavor and
strength in the beverage itself. is
three, or perhaps four coffees. raised
in different countries and having
radically different characteristics.
1.-THE function of the coffee blender
is not only delicate and difficult. but 1t
is also highly competitive. Thousands
every year in good trade to a single
jobbing house depend upon the success
of the coffee blender. II he fails to
maintain the identity Of a popular
brand of coffee he can do his house
about as much damage as can any man
In its employ.
ITO produce a brand of coffee that
will maintain the same strength and
flavor in the beverage itself Is no sim
pie problem. It does not mean merely
using the same grades of coffee berries,
grown in the same localities, roasted
In the same manner and blended in the
same proportions from year to year.
Change in soil n climate conditions
effect corresponding but inscrutable
changes in the coffees; and, therefore,
h blender must begin his work ali
over again with every new consign-
ment of his raw material: He ex-
pertments with his ingredients until
he strikes the combination that gives
The right result In the cup. Then he
works back from the cup and pro-
duces his blend upon q commercial
scale.
"The skill required to accomplish SO
delicate a result as this is costly in
proportion to its responsibility-for it
must be remembered that the grocery
5obbtng house which falls down on a
leading brand Of coffee lays itself open
to serio rs inroads on the part of COM
petitors. The is exacting in
the matter Of his coffee, and his plate
is so highly trained in respect to this
beverage that he Is almost certain to
notice the slightest variation in 1t.
here are many other articles in the
big grocery jobbing house requiring
fine skill and great care on the part
OF the blender. but the preparation of
coffee for the consumer stands at the
top of the list when it comes to ex-
pert SERVICE"

WANTS INDIANS FUND PAID
That the Winnebago Red Men BE
Allowed Their Money.

La Crosse.--That the sum of $4,000
in interest due to Wisconsin Winnie
bagc Indians be paid Immediately will
be the recommendation of Congress
man Esch of La Crosse following the
decision of the treasury department
that the trust fund of over 100000
can not be distributed to the Indians
without further legal probing as to the
individuals entitled to 1T. There is
$491.95 waiting in the treasury for
each of the 1858 Winnebagoes in Wis
consin. The decision OF the CONTROL
er is to the effect that no part of the
trust fund can be used to pay the sal
aries of the officers who have to hold
hearings to settle just what Indians
are entitled to the money and in what
proportion Because the winter has
been the mildest on record there Is
little suffering among the Indians.

MuIti-MilIionaire and Guests Taken
From Vessel Pounding on Rocks
Off the Coast of Co
Iombia.

Panama. Jan 29.-Frederick w. Van
derbilt's yacht Warrior, which has
been on winter cruise in southern
waters, was wrecked off the north
west coast of Colombia, between
Savanilla and Santa Maria Tuesday
Mr.. and Mrs Vanderbilt and their
guests, the duke and duchess of Man
chester and Lord Falconer, were taken
off the yacht by the United Fruit
steamer Almirante
The Vanderbilts' staunch cruising
yacht, the Warrior, lies pounding on
the shore off Cape Aquatic, with q
steamer of the United Fruit company
standing by to take OFF the crew in
case the boat goes to pieces. The
yacht is known to have been ashore
for hours before her wireless operator
received any response to his signals.
The Vanderbilt party was bound for
Colon when a heavy storm broke over
them. Wrecking tugs have been sent
out from Kingston, Jamaica, and Co
Ion, Panama.
The present cruise followed a din
ner party at the Ritz-Carlton in New
York December % in honor of the
duke and duchess of Manchester. The
latter was formerly Miss Helen Zinl-
norman OF Cincinnati.
Lord Falconcr is one Of the most
talked of and most eligible of the
younger generation of English noble
men. He has been reported as wooing
q number of the wealthiest of Ameri-
cas- heiresses. The last Of these at
fairs concerned Mrs, William B. Leeds.
The earl of Kintore has the sporting
blood of generations in his veins and
offered wagers at odds OF two to one
that his son would win the heiress be-
fore the close of the cruise of party
including Lord Falconer and Mrs.
Leeds.
He was previously said to have won
Mrs. William Hayes Chapman, the
wealthy and brilliant young widow OF
New York.
The Warrior is considered one OF
the most seaworthy of yachts de-
signed by George l.. Watson, famous
as a builder of cup challengers.
She carries full equipment OF
wireless, submarine signals, life boats
and RATS and two auxiliary launches.
Even with this equipment, 1t is
doubtful whether the party would
have survived in the face OF a long
storm had not the fruit steamer hap
pened near. The nearest port is Sa-
vanilla and vessels can make 1t only
in calm weather.

VILLA DISCLkIMS DESIRE
FOR ANY PERSONAL GAIN
Supporter Of Carranza for Pres
dent of Mexico.

Juarez. Jan. 30.-Francisco Villa,
military commander of the rebels,
disclaimed any ambition to become
president Of Mexico in the event of
the revolution being successful. Al
though his victories against the Huer-
ia forces at Ojinaga and Chihuahua
had attracted attention to himself, he
did not wish to overshadow General
Carranza, whom he recognized as the
leader of the revolution.
A trainload of rebels was sent to
Guzman to learn the fate OF passen-
gers, including rs Americans, who
were reported held up by Maxine Cas-
tillo's bandits on the Mexico North
western railroad. Among the Ameri-
cans were George Routledge, superin-
tendent of the railroad, and George
Sowsen, Mormon colonist.
Washington, Jan. 30.-Published re-
ports that Japan was supplying arms
to the Huerta government and that
President Wilson had discussed that
phase of the Mexican situation with
members of the senate foreign. rela-
lions committee Monday night were
characterized at the White House
Wednesday as IAN old story re-
vamped."
1t was stated on the authority OF
a senator who attended that during
a general talk those who favored rails
ing the embargo OF arms expressed
the view that the Huerta government
was able to procure ammunition with
ease from abroad. They did not con-
tend the Japanese government was di-
rectly concerned, but declared that
ammunition had been bought of Jap
anese commercial houses.
1t was stated that the subject was
discussed Incidentally i'll connection
with the argument that the constitu-
tionalists we're at a disadvantage in
the present struggle without ports OF
entry such as the Huerta government
holds. White House officials declined
absolutely to say what the views OF
the president were on the eubject.
