A MUSICIANS MEAL.

One Time When Meilhac Paid For His
observation-disclosures
The celebrated French composer
Meilhac was one of the absentminded
geniuses. He was also a man of SIM
pie tastes In the matter of food. 1t is
related of him that on an occasion
when one Of his operas was being pre-
sented he entered In evening dress a
fashionable restaurant and threw him
self down at table, thinking earnest
ly about the musical event of the even
ing and about nothing else.
A waiter brought him a bill of fare,
and NJ. Meilhac quite abstractedly In
dicated with his finger the first dish on
the bill that his eye had struck. II
happened to be the most elaborate and
costly dish on the bill, and when the
waiter went to the kitchen with the
order there was commotion.
The proprietor himself arrived, and
he and the chief cook devoted them
selves to the preparation of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this choice
ingredient and another for another.
Meantime NJ. Meilhac waited, absorbed.
At last the dish was brought with a
great flourish. and the proprietor stood
not far away to observe the result.
When it was deposited on the table
Meilhac looked at 1t with an express
sion of melancholy interest.

"Tarfainly monsieur

"But-but yes, monsieur"
"Then please take 1t away and eat II

The order was carried out, and the
proprietor wondered IL he had mad

STOPPED THE JUMP.

The Royal Adviser May Have Saved
His Young Kings Life.
King Charles XII. of Sweden. who
came to the throne at the early age of
fifteen, went out riding one time in
company with his cousin, the Duke of
Holsteln. and few other gentlemen
of the court On the way they came
upon pile of timber standing by the
roadside. The Duke Of Holstein sug-
gested to the king that the company
try their skill by riding over the pile
on their horses. Charles assented and
insisted upon being the first to 60 over.
But just as he was about to dig his
spurs into his horse, tells Das Buch fur
Allie, Count Wachtmeister seized the
bride and said to the king, Don't you
try to ride over that"
The Duke Of Holstein became angry.
"How dare you cross the wish of the
king!" he exclaimed.
Calmly Wachtmeister answered, "Say
what you will my king shall not do it."
Holstein then reined up to him and
replied wrathfullyY You do not seem
to know with whom you are speaking"
"Oh, yes" said the other, laughing
scornfully; II am speaking with the
Duke Of Holsteln. But will you kindly
recall that you are addressing Count
Wachtmeister, the royal adviser. And.
as said before, my king shall not
break his neck by such wild and dan
gerous jump. Perhaps you were think
ing Of becoming the king of Sweden In
that event. But you won't SO long as
Hans Wachtmeister lives"
Just then the young king, who was
standing by listening to the discussion,
rode up to his adviser and, tapping him
on the shoulder approvingly, said to
the company: mo, gentlemen; guess
we won't jump that pile. 1t is a bit
dangerous" And with that they con-
tinued on their way in silence.

1t was announced last Friday after

general levy for the present year has
been 6xed at 133 mills. The levy

total deficiency was something over

one. third of which was rcmitted 10

The Undesirable Work of a Cream
cry Promoter.

A great deal has been said in
regard to the work of the average
creamery promoter, but never the
less these promoters have been
very active in Idaho this summer.
Several creameries have been
organized at places in Idaho where
conditions did not at all warrant
the building and equipping of a
creamery. At one place such a
creamery was worked up by pro-
moter and sold to the farmers for
almost twice the sum it should
have cost, and although it has been
ready to run for over a month, it is
said that not a wheel has turned
yet. The disgusting thing about
the whole matter is the fact that
there are very few cows within a
six mile radius of this creamery
, and little or no cream to make into
butter.
At another place creamery is
being built at the present time al
cost of $500. 90 which should
not have cost more than $4,000. As
far as can be learned, very little
cream is being produced at thi.
points cream receiver stating that
about six cans of cream each weel
was shipped out from that poinI

amount of cream is quite INSULT

Sudan Grass.

A copy of the Orland, California,
Register, received by FL. Runyon,
contains an article concerning the
experiments with Sudan grass
being made by George and John
Koch on their farm near Orland.
There this grass under irrigation
grows eight and nine feet high,
stands as thick as the thickest
grain, and yields hye to ten tons
an acre in three cuttings. Mr..
Koch says il makes ''a perfect
green feed, perfect cured feed
and perfect ensilage feed"

"Sudan grass must be planted
every year. The best way seems
to be to follow out the checking
system now in use. The rows
should be about IS inches apart.
'In the meantime don't forget
that too much water is just
enough"
