CURIOUS CUSTOM
 IN BUENOS AIRES

BUENOS AIRES-This city prob ably possesses the most curious res taurant in the world. It lies in Pasco de Julio a street frequented by sailors and lockers. The whole establish ment consists of a great pot, about one yard in diameter, and an equally large fork. Only one dish, called the "puchero," is offered to customers It is simply prepared. The proprietor fills the pot with water, lets few chunks of meat and bones drop to the bottom, then adds some coloring ma terial, partly to give a touch of mys- tery to the whole, partly to make the meat at the bottom invisible.
 A fire is now started under the pot. When the mixture boils a sign is dis played, stating that lunch, dinner or supper is now ready" Each customer pays five cents and is handed huge fork, which he dips into the boiling water. If he is lucky he harpoons a piece of meat, which he is entitled to fish out and devour. If not, he can buy another chance, if he has another five cents to pay for it.

Every available man who is able to work and really wants to do something can find employment on the creeks or roads in the vicinity of Nome. Another notic- able sign that is encouraging is the fact that all the members, and even officials of the Western Federation of Miners are out working, most of them on Little Creek. The incentive to work is so strong that the above mentioned labor union has closed it's hall, turned the key in the the latch, and one and all are busy. 4
