A CULINARYJAASTERPIECE.
When You Go to Pari Don't Turn Up
Your Note at Muiteli.
You will find In Paris a small res
taurant just Inside tho street entrance
presided over by li waiter who has ap.
parently been forty yenrs of ago for
the last twenty years. Ho has a
friendly; alert air and anything In tho
world Hint you wan.t bq will promptly
provide.
You will naturally order pomo sort
of potnge or something that your fan
cy suggests; but whatever else you do
be sum to call for mussels. 1 can sco
you turning up your nose at this. In
America who cuts mussels except at
rare times perhaps somo pickled mus-
sels? 'Xhcy arc with us In the same
category ns tripe.
But behold the genius of the French!
When tho waiter brings In an enor-
mous silver bowl with a dbmcllko sli-
ver cover and when ho removes tho
cover then yon forget everything In
tho world excopt tho delicious savory
smell of the steam which rises from
the myriad shells that open lovingly
for you to oxtract from them tho dain-
ty sea flavored mussel that lurks with-
in. SIusscl did I sny? No; theso arc not
tho ordinary mussels that Americans
know. French gastronomic genius has
transformed them into monies marl-
nlcrc. In some deftly magical way the
French chef has Imparted a delicious
suggestion to tho monies just that in-
definable evanescent memonjr of garlic-garlic
which In tho hands of tho
ordinary cook is an offensive and. dead-
ly weapon but which In tho bandit of
a cook of high degree an artist In
fact is a mcati3 for achieving some of
the; supreme triumphs of his art.
Alter the moules you will have any-
thing you caro for dainty slices of
galantine or sliced capon nestling amid
watercrcsscs and then perhaps some
peaches in a little basket where tho
fruit is infolded in leaves from its
own tree and ripened to precisely tho
right turn on somo ancient wall. In
tho sunshine of an old French garden
then perhaps some pulled broad and
a bit of Camembcrt and a Caft Maza-
gran In a long glass. Noone remem-
bers now the battle tbat.gave its name
to this particular preparation of cof-
fee which shows that men mnj; come
and empires may fall and armies may
be dashes Into fragments upon the bat-
tlefield but the genius of cookery re-
mains triumphant and its achieve-
ments are never lost Bookman.
ENGLISH MONARCHS.
Death Often Unkind In 'the Manner of
Their Taking Off.
Of the monarchs who have reigned
over England since tho days of the
Norman conquest nearly one-quarter of
tho number bavo met violent deaths.
William i. was killed by a fall from
his horse William II. jvas sbpt while
hunting whether by accident or de-
sign Is still ouo of the unsolved prob-
lems of history; Richard I. was killed
by a shaft from a crossbrow while
besieging the city of Chaluz in Franco;
Richard II. was murdered in Pontefract
castle Edward II. was murdered in
Berkeley castle and Edward V In tho
Tower of London. Richard III. was
killed on the battlefield of Bosworth.
and Charles I. had his head cut off In
London.
Elizabeth's death was hastened by
remorse that she had ordered tho ex-
ecution of Esser and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after tho loss.
Of Calais declaring that tho name of
that city would bo found after death
written on her heart; Tho death of
Edward III.'s boo the Black Prince
caused the aged monarch to dlo of
grief. So after the loss of bis son

What Would He Do With It?
A farmer owned a dog-a very good
high bred .and thoroughly trained dog
that ovcry ruprnlng for three years
chased a railway train that ran past
tho farm Tho farmer aud his wlfo
were watching tho persistent but vain
pursuit ono warm morning.
"I wonder" the wife said "what
makes that foolish dog chase the train
so persistently"
"Never thought about that" replied
tho farmer "but Pvo often wondered
what ho would do if ho caught it"

Blart the matter rolling and no moss
gathers on a rolling adamantine sub-
Stance. The Abilene & Southern gives
good connection with the T. & P. and
tho Orient will also give a direct routo

making tho expense" of road teams
many times less than heretofore and
making possible a much better system
of scheduled gamca.
Of courae It Ib too early to predict1
jiist what towns aro willing to go into
such a moye. Naturally Balllnger
will go foremost In this matter as In
most other things. Then very likely
tho jblly boosting Chajkeaters of San

they make a nolao like getting buay
they will very likely Join In the cho-
