CALLS CHINESE COOKS BEST
Follower ef confueius Has Only Mild X Approval fer the Culinary, Art
 lete of the West.

The jolly, rOund-faced Chinese who ia combination of proprietor, cook and clerk in a delieatessen store on DoyerS street runs his shop for the section and not for "sightseers," says the New York Sun. When q strange face that is not Chinese pOkes itself inside the shop, where the floor is half covered with peck baskets that hold such oriental vegetables as gray potato and lilly root, his face goes totally blank, he understands nothing, and speaks only the most painfully ''pidgin" English.
 But if the door iS opened by a west erner whose business he understands and he happens to be in a talkative mood, he can entertain by the half hour with tales and traditions of his | trade, told in excellent English, with plenty of jokes and much chuckling.
 When he speaks of western food and western ways of cooking his man. ner is always courteous but mildly patrOnfzing. When he talks of the ways of Asia he becomes animated, and when he teaches things about Chinese cooking he is actually enthusi- astic.
 A mild attempt was made recently to have him understand that, while real Chinese mixtures involving com plicated combinations of such things as bits of roast pig, lily roots, bamboo shoots and alkaline solution might have an exotic artistic interest, it should. after all, be conceded that the West, and especially these United States, had done most to develop sci entific eating.
 He laughed gleefully.
 No. no. no! That is not sol" he began. "NO people eat with more science, with more careful cooking than the people of China and this they were doing centuries before Flu rope had civilization.
 Our cooking, We are taught in China, was invented by our emperor, Pow Hay Sc, who reigned about 5000 B. C., although it was our great teach CT, COnfucius, who laid down most of the rules for scientific eating which to this day are followed by the peO- pie.
 It was his rule that never more meat than vegetables be eaten at meal. About One-third meat should be ample.
 "AlI food should be properly chopped up fine before it is good to eat. Seasoning should be careful; cooking should be for d very long time. It Is always we'll to have u little ginger root in the food.
 Such rules as these-are they not most excellent rules for scientific r. ing? We followed them centuries be fore there was such ideas in the West"

PAwNEE ROCK A~STATE PARK
kanSaS Acquires Site of a Great h. dian Battle Which Took Place
 en old Trait. ,.--

One of the real historical places in Kansas-Pawnee Rock-a monument or hin of rock which stood alongside of the Santa Fe trail, and which today Is still 8 break in the level of the Ar kansas valley through which the old trail wended its way, has been made a state park, according to the Great Bend correspondence of the Topeka Capital.
 Citizens of Pawnee Rock who live at the base of this park are preparing to make 1t one Of the localities that will be remembered by the tourists as they travel oyer the route which for many years was the principal route to the Pacific. The rock is to be cleaned up for the summer, the road to the top, where a monument and pavilion are located, is to be made over and the place made one where tourists will find 1t pleasant to stop and camp.
 Pawnee Rock was named for the Pawnee Indians who met annually on the rock, and tradition is that it was the scene of one of the greatest fights in the annals Of the Indians or the plain, when an attacking body of In- dians besieged the Pawnees while they were in annual cOnclave, and the fight lasted for days, the Pawnee being safely fortified on the rock but being cut off from water, though scouts man. aged to reach the river during the night and relieve their people on the rock.
 In the years when the chief route to California was the Santa Fe trail and the government maintained forts every 40 to 100 miles the rock was favOrite camping place for trains gO- ing through. The names of hundreds of travellers were cut in the soft sand stone of which the rock is composed Among them were many men famous In military history of the United States, including General sherman and General Sheridan.

REFUSED TO HURT BABIES
I've Stories That Prove osntlsnsss of Hsrses Where Little Children
 Were Concerned.

Are horses peculiarly gentle with bablesT It seems a fair question. Ger tninly the horses in this account, which a contributor sends us, were almost humanly solicitOus of the well fare of the two young children who came into contact with them.
 Our neighbor, says our contributor, had a field one corner of which came up to his dooryard. One day while he was blowing he stopped when he reached the corner and, leaving the horses standing in the furrow, went to the pump for & drink. As soon as he returned he took up the blow handles and spoke to the horses. They did not move. He spoke again, sharply. Still they did not move. Astonished and vexed, he struck them with the whip. StIn they stood immOvable; and then he realized that something must be wrong. He went to their heads, and there in the furrOw in front of them he saw his toddling baby boy
 The twO-year-old daughter of a friend of mine in Denver had an ex- perience a good deal more astonishing than that of the baby boys. The little girl managed to stray away from in front of the house where she had been playing. There was a long search In which the police and the fire depart ment joined; but 1t was unsuccessful. Finally, in a livery stable two miles away some men who were working there thought they heard little coo Ing voice. They were mortified. for 1t seemed to come from the stall of an exceedingly vicious horse that even the grOoms approached cautiously and with dread. The men looked into the stall and saw the baby batting the horses hind leg and calling him nice horSie," while he. with his head turned. watched her benignantly, not moving 8 muscle lest he should hurt her er!-YOuth's Companion.

Living on Easy Avenue.

A group of wealthy New York fami- lies finding the servant and supply problem of private houses annoying have built on Park avenue great $13,OOO,O0O apartment house with apartments that range from two rooms in a bachelor apartment at $5,OO0 a year to p rooms for a nominal rental of $55,OOO a year, and the tenants have all been hand-picked.

that we raise fund for the purpose
of installing a local phone system in

carried unanimously (Comrade Clarke
and your Uncle voting), she was cleo
ted chairman and hasn't much to do
with it, and we were elected secretary
treasurer and charged with the finan-
cial responsibility of putting the job
across. Everything was going nicely
until Electrician Loutrel heard about
it. and then our troubles began; he
Immediately left the power plant and
swung around to the office to ask how
soon we should be ready to begin In
stalling the plant, and then on around
back to the power plant, thus COM

have been increasing in number until
Loutrel is beginning to develop a vol

ever you call it, that threatens to cleo
trocute US, if something isn't done to

Ground Loutrel is to keep him busy
with some kind of an electric dingus.
So, you see, this is what we are
driving at; we must get busy with this
phone phund and run it up to an
amount that will enable us to put in
a small system in first-class shape right
away before Loutrel burns out fuse
or strips a gear or blacks our eyes or
ct cetera; just now he is busy with the
radio bug" but that won't hold him
long, and we must be ready to turn
him loose on this phone system when
he gets through with the radio, or he
will not be responsible for what hap
pens.
We almost forgot to tell you that
Chairman Clarke came all the way
from Virginia, few days ago, to see
what we are doing down here-how
we are doing it, and why we are do
ing it. She came-she ,saw-and was
confirmed in her opinion that the COL

from her: Get busy and finish this
