The Triumph Of France
[From Harvey's Weekly. ]


We had thought of speaking of
the triumph of the Tiger. Not the
Tammany Tiger, which got pretty
considerably scotched few weeks
ago, nor yet the Princeton Tiger,
which did triumph over the Bulldog
of New Haven: but the veteran Tiger
of France. The French elections
were indeed triumph for Georges
Clemenceau. and such a triumph as
few men in comparable circum-
stances have enjoyed.
M. Clemenceau had fought the
good fight himself More than any
other governmental chief of any ma
ton, he was responsible for the pol
icy of his country during the last
year of the war, and was the con-
crete expression of its hopes and
aims. At the end, he asked a judg-
ment, not for his own continuance
in otfice-for he had voluntarily de-
cided against that-but for the main
tenance of those sane principles and
policies of government of which he
had been the exponent. Mark, too,
that he sought this judgment at the
hands of an electorate of all in the
world the ost mercurial and the
least bound by organized party ties.
The result was one of the most i'm
pressive and significant approvals
and ratifcations that ever were re-
corded in behalf of any man or any
policy.

its designer not been so generous in
its other appointments.
A modern hotel is a very compli-
Gated structure, and while it may
look simple to the average man, it
is a great box full of intricate pip
ing and special features and the
utmost skill and experience is
necessary to make all parts ball
ance. 1t is a compliment to the
foresight and ability of the men
who built the Penn-H Harris that 1t is
capable of enlargement in the way
proposed without throwing the
whole plant out of proportion.

Picturesque Indian Names

LFrom the New York Sun.l
The supervisor in charge of the
Black feet agency at Browning,
Mon, has issued a circular adver-
tising for sale certain Indian lands.
The list of allottees shows that the
years have not driven out all the
picturesque Indian names. There

Business men are doing their ut
most to overcome conditions which
are in many cases most trying, but
which are not insurmountable. Much
uncertainty exists regarding the re-
turn of the railroads to their owners,
but with the settlement of industrial
strikes will come a better attitude
toward the important industries of
the country and incidentally an inn
proved situation with respect to the

More Sugar

tFrom the Philadelphia Press.
The new order of the Food Admin

but Cuban sugar-which is con-
controlled by the government-at n
half cent a pound above cost
at retail is not an unmiXed bles-
sing 1t is certain to relieve to an
appreciable extent the present sugar
shortage. But it is also certain
to bring higher prices.

is bliss, 'twere folly to be wise,
but there are exceptions. Take
for example. the. case of the per
son who in a letter TO the editor
of this newspaper asks what is 9
metzel soup. Here is what lie says
| am newcomer in Pennsyl-
Nania, but long ago | heard of the
fame OF Pennsylvania cooks and
now that | have lived here al
most year, know there is no
such such, cooking anywhere. yw T.,
We're. until | came here. but now
| l know my education had been
sadly neglected along culinary
lines. | thought / knew all OF
your dishes. but the other day
while buying butter in market
heard a farmer say to a woman
who was evidently a regu ar Gus
toner, as he handed her pack
age: I'VE butchered last week
and | have brought you a metzel
soup" | have asked everybody |
know what kind of soup this -
and as | have Il desire to try IT
will you not inform me how 1t is
made.
Dear correspondent, you need not
have mentioned the fact that you
are newcomer in Pennsylvania;
we knew it at once. Thanks for
the compliment to our cooks, tan
whom there are no better in the
whole wide world. But how did
YOU get the idea that we served
soup in packages in Pcnnsylvania?
Your question puts conundrum
into our mind. It's this, When
is a soup not soup" And the
answer is, when it's mctZel soup.
Ha, ha. Laugh you Pennsylvania
folks, laugh!
But for all that don't refuse
metzel soup if your farmer friend
offers one to you, soup or no soup.
Generous, hospitable Pennsylvania
folks know that n ''metzel' is one
of the daintiest and most accept
able of gifts. 1t happens like this.
The Jones family has four prize
porkers and they are dated for
slaughter on Tuesday, December 2,
say. Along about o'clock that
morning the whole family turns out
of bed to welcome the neighbors
who are coming TO help, and in
cidentally TO get three square meals,
beginning with breakfast. The fires
are started early under the big
black kettles, the hogsheads are
tilted to the proper angle to receive
scalding water and then the bodies
of the hogs, the scaffolding from
which to suspend the pigs is erected
and the knives are sharpencd. A
big day lies Just ahead, but by
evening the lard is rendered, the
sausage and the pudding are made,
the meat has been hung to cool and
Mother" Jones says to Father"
Jones: Samuel, l think we ought
to send the Smiths a metZel soup"
or may be she says just ''metzel"
for short, and Father" Jones
agrees. After which they select the
tenderest of the pork chops, "a piece
of the backbone. some spare ribs,
pudding and sausage, pack it all in
basket and over it goes to the
Smiths.
That, dear correspondent, is
metZel soup. and If you think 1t
doesn't outrank any regular" soup
you ever tasted go back whence you
came, for Pennsylvania is no place
for such as you. But we take il YOU
won't feel that way about it.
