WHAT ARMY OFFICERS EAT.
Groat Variety of Food 1 Dtaoenoad
the Conn aiarr Department.
No one outaldo of the army baa any
Idea of the variety of commissary ar
ticle which are carried In the sub
sistence storehouses st army posts.
The present extensive stock Is s grad
ual growth since 18tt6, when the old
army sutler Was aupplanted by the
pot trader, who-ln tarn was driven out
of the service by an exposure of cor
ruption sud collusion which Involved
even the wife of s cabinet officer and
dragged the latter Into retirement
The post trader carried a few ar
ticles which he sold to the officer and
men at exorbitant prices, and one of
the choice government "snaps was a
post tradershln, for which men were
willing to pay large sums that they
might hare the protection and license
of the government In robbing the help
less army officers and aoldten of re
mote frontier garrisous. 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,

DRUNKEN COWS IN A FIGHT.
Sangalnar? Conflict Takes Place After
Meal oa Fermented Caae.
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." New York Evening Sun,

In the blue shales of a valley a few

popular novel, "Eben Holden." It is
a border tale of 1812. Two types of

mantic temperament of a cavalier.
The scene of the atoty is in the neigh
borhood of Lake Cake Cbamplain, and
tbe title is "D ri and I." It will b-
gin in the March Century and run -for
