Better Off.

A political Office in a small Unlteo
States town was vacant. The office
paid $3.50 a year and there was keen
competition for it,. The Democratic
candidate, Ezekiel Banks, was a
shrewd old fellow, and substantial
campaign fund was got together for
him. To the astonishment OF all'
however, he was defeated.
sI can't account for it, said one
of the Democratic leaders, gloomlly'
"With that money we should have
won. How did you lay it out, Eze-
kiel?"
"WeH," said Ezekiel, slowly
scratching his head, Eyer see, that
office only pays $3.50 a year salary
and 1 didn't see no sense in paying
5000 out to get the office, so l just
bought me a little farm instead. -

Out of Danger.

An eminent Englishman Of science
delivered lecture in which an
amusing incident occurred. In the
course of his remarks he said:
"It is we'll established fact that
the sun is gradually losing it's heat,
and that in the course of seventy mil
lion years it's heating power will be
so diminished that all beneficent ef-
fects will be lost and no life can
exist on earth
AS this sentence was uttered a
worried-looking man at the rear OF
the hall rose and signified his desire
to ask a question.
'Pardon me-" he said, "but how
long did you say it would be before
this terrible calamity would occur?''
"Why, about seventy million
years." replied the scientist.
The questioner fell back into his
seat with a sigh of relief.
THANK heaven!" he muttered, Il
thought you said seven million. -

dition lost it's bearings and arrived
off Donegal. No news could be had
of any uprising in Ireland but tWen-
ty-eight men landed and the
others sailed for America, short of
food and water, and after voyage
of 1O7 days from New York return
ed with the entire cargo of arms and
ammunition. Two Of the twenty
eight men who landed in Ireland,
Warren and Costello, though born in
Ireland were naturalized citizens OF
the United States. This saved them
from the extreme penalty, but they
we're sentenced to long terms OF i'm
prisonment. Ultimately they were
released and sent back to America.
The next landing Of arms was that OF
the ship Fanny early in 1914, before
the breaking out of the worlds war
when the vessel landed a cargo OF
arms made in Germany for the use

GERNfANY'S INTERNED SHIPS.
There Are More Than 500, 900, 900
Worth in American Ports.

If diplomatic relations are severed
between the United States and Ger
many as a result of the kaiser's
methods of undersea warfare, it real
ly means eventual war between the
two countries, followed by the i'm
mediate seizure by Uncle Sam of the
s10O,OO0,000 worth of German pas
senger vessels now lying in our har-
bors.
Non-intercourse, in the sense OF
terminating diplomatic relations is a
usual, but not inevitable prelude to
war-but, as a matter of fact, de-
clares Coudert, "between great coun-
tries, such a situation is usually fol-
lowed by war.
"Now let us trace the probable pro-
gress of relations between the Unit
ed States and Germany after the
adoption of the policy of non-inter-
course.
sIn the event of such rupture
between Germany and the United
States-if it went no further-there
would not necessarily be any change
in the status of Americans in Ger
many or of Germans in America.
Our diplomatic representatives, be-
fore leaving the country, would turn
over the protection of our citizens
and the archives of our embassies
and consulates to those of some
other power

Making and Use of Fireless Cooker

The principle of the freless cooker
is to retain heat, by first boiling the
food for few minutes, then placing
it in the cooker, which does not al
low the heat to escape. Prepare the
food in the usual way, bring to boil
ing point over the fire; then place in
cooker. The advantages are finer
favored and more wholesome foods,
fuel saving and the comfort of hav-
ing a cool kitchen with time and la
bor saved for other duties.
Select a tight wooden box, OLD
trunk, lard tub or can for the OUT
side container, and a smaller one tor
the "well." There should be space
enough between them for about four
inches of packing all around. Line
the box with layers of paper to keep
ont the cold air; place layer of cot
ton seed hulls in the bottom, put IN
the smaller bucket, then pack all
around with the hulls, very tightly.
Then cut a piece of cardboard to MT
the space at the top, cutting out a
circle to open the ''well," the space
between the top of the "well' and
the lid of the outside contalner
should be filled with a cushion stuff
ed with the hulls and made to Mt
exactly. The lid may be fastened
down with screw hooks and eyes at
intervals around the top. For the
food vessel any utensil with a tight
cover may be used. An enamel or
aluminium one may be bought for
soc to $3.50. A heated soap stone
stove lid or brick may be placed in
/ the bottom, and food vessel put on
top.
Hominy grits: l cup grits, 5
cups water, l teaspoon salt. Have
the salted water boiling and add
grits slowly, cook ten minutes, place
| in cooker and allow to remain over
night, for breakfast. Rice and oat-
meal may be cooked in similar
manner, though the rice will be done
| in about an hour. Roast of beef OF
chicken may be seasoned, Drowned
in fat, then add 1 cup boiling water
cook ten minutes, then place in fire
| less cooker A tough roast or ole
fowl may be cooked tender, with al
juices retained.

Expeditions That Failed.

The failure of Sir Roger Case
ment's expedition to land arms on
the Irish coast and his capture again
makes good the saying that '1reland
is the land of forlorn expeditions. .
Time after time attempts have been
made to land arms and men, these
attempts always ending in failure.
In December, 1895, the French gen.
eral, Hoche, accompanied by the Irish
patriot, Wolfe Tone, headed an expe-
dition of $500 men, well equipped
with munitions, including 41,O0O
muskets to arm the Irish people, ar
rived at Bantry Bay, but failed to
land and sailed back to Brest. In
August, 1898, Gen. Humbert with
1000 French troops in three frigates
appeared in t>illala Bay. The Irish
peasantry failed to join them and
seventeen days later he surrendered
to the English. The three frigates
meanwhile had returned to France
and taken on another body of troops
under Gen. Savary. He heard of
Humbert's fate and decided not to
land.
In September, 1898, Napier Tandy
landed near Arran with forty-five
French soldiers, a supply of arms and
revolutionary proclamations. The
Irish failed to rise.
In the same month an expedition
consisting Of nine vessels failed to
land troops in Killala Bay. On Qc-
tober IL they met the English fleet
and the whole expedition was cap
tured. Among those on board was
Wolfe Tone, an officer in the French
service. AS he was of Irish birth he
was court-martialed as traitor and
sentenced to be shot. He committed
suicide by opening vein in his neck
with a penknife.
These failures seem to have dis
couraged the idea of using Ireland as
base for attacking England and il
was not until April, 1857, during the
Fenian excitement, that another at
tempt was made. This was the Jack
mel expedition which sailed from
New York on brigantine of that
name. There we're 5000 rifles or
board and three small field pieces
The crew consisted of forty or fifty
Irishmen who had served in the fed
eral army during the civil war. The
name of the vessel was changed tt
Erin's Hope. The green banner with
| the Fenian sunburst was hoisted anC
the commander, John F. Kavanaugh
who had been a general in the fed
eral army, distributed Fenian com
missions in the name of the Irish
Republic. 1t was intended to lant
on the coast of Sligo, but the expe

SOMETHING NEW IN NARCOTICS,
Plant Chewed by Indians Contains
Properties Like Opium.

Discovery that the roots and bios
SONS of a plant known as peyote
chewed by the Indians of the Uinta
basin, contain properties like unto
opium and which are deadly in their
effect, has been made by Herman
Harms, Utah State chemist. So Sc
riously does Mr.. Harms regard the
menace of the weed that he recon-
mends that the next legislature take
proper steps to include the plant in
the list of prohibited narcotics.
Peyote constitutes the dried roots
and dried blossoms of a small cactus
plant that grows in the southwest
ern section of the United States
Some of it grows in Utah, notably in
the Ulina basin. Ute Indians, many
of them, are habitual users of peyote
and some include it in certain forms
of their religious ceremonies.
AT the present time," Chemist
Harms says in his report to the gov
ernor of Utah, "the Ute Indians hold
their 'peyote service every Saturday
night until Sunday morning at Rand
lette, Utah, and from all accounts
this evil habit is growing at rapid
rate with decidedly demoralizing ef-
fects on these people"
The growth of the use of peyote
among the Indians and the subse-
quent effect upon them attracted the
attention of some of the white resi-
dents of the Uinta basin, including
Senator Don B. Cotton. He called
the attention of Gov. Spry to the
matter and the governor ordered an
immediate and thorough investiga-
ton.
Peyote is something new in the
way of narcotics, as Mr.. Harms found
out during the investigation. Here
is a cactus plant, common enough in
the Western States, that contains
juices as powerful as opium or NOR
phine.
Both the roots and blossoms of the
peyote plant are chewed by the In
dians after the manner in which Per-
ruvians derive the effects of cocaine
from chewing cocoa leaves. The
blossoms are more delectable in the
eyes of the victims of the habit than
roots.
At first peyote causes great state
of mental exhilaration and excite
ment. Then it deadens the senses
produces abnormal dreams, is de-
moralizing and finally this peyote
causes the Indians to remain drunk
or in stupor for two or three days
Peyote was first introduced under
the form of a religious ceremony, and
during the singing and dancing ii
was passed around until the Indians
were drunk with it. 1t contains
among other constituents, an aka
loidal principle to which, no doubt
is due the powerful narcotic action
upon the human system. It's indis
criminate use produces demoraliz
ing, harmful and depraved condi'
