The variety of the post trader's stock was as lim ited as its quality waa Indifferent When the post trader was banished the subsistence department of the army extended Its system so as to em brace something besides the ration which It purchased and issued to troops. It began to keep such articles as smoked fish, sirups, canned oysters and lobsters, jellies, jams, flour, hams, coffee, candles and salt The list was meagi r one, but It was the beginning of an elaborate system and an exten sive stock. The department has Im proved Its supplies year by year, keep ing In mind the needs and the desires of the enlisted men, the officers and their families. These supplies sre out side the regular ration and are sold at contract prices even to officers and men on the retired list, provided they certify that the supplies are Intended for their own consumption. In the list of foods there are now all kinds of canned and evaporated fruits. canned vegetables, fish and meats. four varieties of soup, four varieties of crackers and three varletiea of white sugar. There are all kinds of spices and seasonings, sauces and jellies. among which are fonr varieties of pickles and two varieties of table sauce. There are four brands of ci gars and four varieties of smoking to bacco, with .other smoking articles and supplies. Sometimes these varieties do not meet all the demands of the army, and additional kinds are provided, but there Is a limit placed on certain arti cles, and the department does not pro vide more than ten varieties of cigars (none costing more than 18 per lioo, or $12 In the open market), six varie ties of pickles or crackers and five of smoking tobacco or soup.

The most exciting affair In the vicini ty of Bronsoo, Fla., of late was the fero cious combat between two of Farmer Hawkins' Intoxicated cows the other day, causing the death of one after a fight that would put a modern bull fight to blush. Hawkins lives four miles from Bron- son and prides himself upon his fine stock. He makes lots of cane sirup also. In the grinding season most of the farmers In this country make beer for home consumption from the "cane skimmings," but Hawkins is a stanch teetotaler and rowed be would give the skimmings to his cows. So be filled the trough full the other afternoon, not dreaming of the tragic consequence to follow. . Soon two of his pet cows came np and began drinking the liquid. It tast ed good, and the cows wanted more. Soon they bad on a goodly "Jag" and they got belligerent One plunged at the other, trying to get possession of I tbe trough. The other, with a bellow of defiance, gored her antagonist In the side with artistic skill, Tbe other turn ed tall for a moment and then came rushing back, pinning the cow to a post and goring her frightfully. The fight then became general. Tbe infuriated animals bellowed and plunged at each other and fought with deadly earnestness. This was kept np for a half an hour, when one was knocked down in a dying condition, snd tbe other was just able to walk around and bellow triumphantly. The men folks beard tbe uproar, bnt did not get to the scene of the warfare In time to stop It Sir. Hawkins ts out one cow, bnt hae lots of, experience. The old settlers around there say this Is a common oc currence where cattle drink this skim mings, ss It makes them fighting drunk and a scrimmage follows. In the old times It was one of tbe boys' sports to get a drove of cattle In an Inclosure and feed them with cane skimmings and watch tbe fight that would follow. When He Held tbe Jack. "He was a softlsb sort of chap, bat played a tolerably fair game of seven up," said ex-Sheriff Warren K. Kidg way, of Pike County, Pennsylvania. "We were sitting In, up at Lacka wanna, playing for a quarter a corner. I knew be was dead gone on a girl op at the Narrows, and so remarked, casu ally, early in the game: " 'Every time a fellow gets the Jack of trumps In seven-up Ifs a sure sign his girl Is thinking of him.' "Then I sort o watched the young fellow, and the very next band be picked up I noticed his eyes light op and a real nice flush of pies sure spread over bis face. So I led out and, sure as pollywogs! I caught bis Jsck, as I thought maybe I would. And It worked so well all the evening that I bad a whole lot of bis quarters when we quit But be seemed pleased, and went up to the Narrows on the next train."
