Richteous Causes.

Mir. Blank, prominent and wealthy man, once took foolish notion that he wanted to be rid of his wife. After a long, hard-fought legal battle, single handed, except for the slight help that money and a battery of lawyers can give, he finally succeeded in obtaining a divorce. He wouldn't even need to pay alimony so great was his victory
 As a reprisal the ex-wife brought suit against the man for $1,OOO,OOo Before her case came up one of her lawyers remarked that because Of the wealth of her former husband another legal war would result.
 "Well," said the former Mrs. Blank, "you will have to admit that my cause, according to the tradition of our coun. try, is as just as his. He fought for lin' erty and I am fighting for independ' ence."

COFFEE IN MAITLAND
Beverage Made in Peculiar Way
 Pronounced Excellent. .
Sweetened In Primitive Manner, the Refreshment Is Passed Around Among Guests After Host Has
 Partaken of 1t.

An American consular officer in Scandinavia gives the recipe for mak- ing coffee among the Lapps, when they are so fortunate as to have It at all.
 Dinner was eaten out of doors, and the one dish of the meal consisted of roast Jennings, little creatures some thing between a guinea pig ana a rat, and as the officer admits "ex- qulsitely peculiar" as to their flavor.
 The party Squatted in ring about the fire, watching the roasts, all ex- cept q wrinkled old woman, who as on expert, was intent upon more te- dious ceremony. Out of skin knap- sack she had taken a small skin bag. From this she extracted some F green coffee beans, which she proceeded to roast one by one in small iron spoon.
 When they were cooked to her taste she bruised them to coarse fragments between stones and put the result with water into copper kettle, which had one lid in the usual place and another on the end of the spout to keep out smoke and feathery wood ash.
 Then the whole mixture was boiled up together into a bubbling froth of coffee fragments and coffee extract. She cleaned it by an old trick which Is known to campers all the world over. This was to throw into the kettle small splash of cold water, when the coffee grounds were prompt ly precipitated to the bottom.
 Then she poured the clear, brown, steaming liquor into a blackened bowl of birch root and handed 1t to the good man, her husband.
 After he had taken the bowl in his fingers the woman hunted ih leathern knapsack and produced lump of beet sugar. The host bit fragment from 1t and lodged 1t Tn his teeth, then he lifted the bowl to his lips and drank.
 In a more civilized man this would of course have been rudeness; In savage 1t was simple act of courtesy. It was plain assurance that the bowl contained no poison. Then he hand ed it on for his guests to drink In turn, and the American says that he does not know that he ever tasted better coffee.

GoUGING ARMY OFFICERS


A writer in the New York Times,
illustrating "the high cost Of serving
ones country" declares that our
army officers have been "gouged" in
the purchase OF their equipment to
the extent of s29. 900 900.
The figures he gives seem undeni-
able proof Of scandalous extortion.
More than 100000 officers have en-
tered the service since we went to
war, and in accordance with the Gus
tom, have provided their equipment
at their own expense. They have
had to buy nearly everything from
private dealers. As a result, the wri-
ter says. these officers have each paid
on an average, s2ss.09 more than
they would have had to pay II the
government had furnished them the
supplies at cost.
As long as they are forced to pa
tronize private dealers, 1t goes with
out saying that the dealers deserve
to make profit. But surely there
is no excuse for such profits as are
indicated by a comparison OF the gov
ernment prices and private prices.
For a cap which costs the govern
ment 73 cents the officer must pay
the dealer $3.50. For 1856 hat
the officer pays $40. For an over
coat which the war department could
sell him for 1880 he must pay
$40. A 81 suit Of underwear costs
him IS. Blankets and sleeping bag
which cost the government SIS cost
him $40. And SO It goes.
A few Of the articles the officers
need can be bought direct from the
commissary department which furn-
ishes equipment to privates. II is
worth noting that in practically
every case the private dealers price
for these articles is the same as the
government price. The conclusion
is inevitable that the higher prices
charged for other things represent
for the most part pure extortion,
made possible by the lack OF govern
ment competition. The retailer in
any particular case may not be max
ing an extortionate profit, but some
body is making It.
The public naturally wants to
know why there should be any pro-
fit at all. The officers pay is small
enough, considering his heavy ex-
penses. As long as he has to buy
his outfit, why can't the war depart
ment sell It to him direct, at cost
pricef
