KITCHEN RUN BY A OITY| At Grenoble, France, an Association Serves Food at Cost Housewives who think the co-operative | kitchen is so far in the future that 1t would | be apbsurd to look forward to it for relief | from daily drudgery will be interested to | hear that a kitchen with the same end in view as the co-operative has been in suc- cessful operation for nearly fitty years. The Association Alimentaire of Grenoble, Franee, is a purely municipal affair. The city owns it and supplies meals at cost in its own restaurant or deliv.rs them at pri- vate homes. . Professor Osborne Ward of the Depart- ment of Labor Statistics spent his recent vacation abrozd studying a number of socialistic experiments that are being car- ried on in various parts of Europe. iHe was interested more by what he saw at Grenoble than by anything The authorities gave him ali the aid in their power when they learned he was from the American Labor Bureau. Everything at the Association Alimen- taire is as good as money can buy. The cooks are as clever as any in France, which is saving a great deal. The provi- sions are bought in the best markets and are carefully selected. The service is ex- cellent. The dining-rooms are ot several grades, according to the furnishings and the actendance, 80 that all tastes may be accommndated. One may dine there for 3 cents on bread and soup, and be satisfied, orune may pay 12 centsand have a full course dinner. In the best rooms, which are marble floored and decorated with much elegance, there are waiters who look for tips as naturally as though they were in the swellest of Parisian-cafes. Pure wines, which have been properly aged, are served at about 8 cents a liter. There is no financial profit to the city in ranning this huge restaurant, which serves some 15,000 meals a day. The charges are based on the cost of the materials used, the employment of help and the amount spent in keeping the uisnsils, machinery and building in repair.—New York Press. bl eyl BT A Boy’s Essay on Journalism. A bright little boy who attends one of the city public schools was told by his teacher a few days ago to write an essay on “Journalism,”” and next bay he handed in the following: “Jouinaiism is the science of all sorts of journais. Thereisa heap of kinds of journals. Journals is good things 'cept When they is hot journals, and then they ie just awful.

She is slender in build and will be tall like her mother. Her voice is nothing short of marvelous. It is clear, | resonant and strong, and falls with a strange insistence on the ear, for back of itisa woman’s earnest soul seeking free expression. She has a heavy head of blue-black hair and the fair skin and blue eyes of the Irish race. She never cared for dolls, but nas always been a preat lover of books, and has made free use of the splendid library of Mrs. Lease. She made her debut asa public speaker rather early in life and in a very unexpected manner. It was at the first People’s Party National conference in St. Louis, over eight years ago, in which her mother took an active part. There was an immense audience, and while the conference was waiting for a committee 1o report, the chairman asked littie Louise to *speak a piec The child gave a recitation from Gerald Massey, beginning: Com!ng up the steeps of time This old world is growing brighter, She did it fuil justice, and the long- continued applause forced her to return. It happened that almost the entire day had been taken up with discussions over the adoption of the suffrage plank, and Louise had become greatly wrought up over the question. Instead of reciting again, she launched forth into a woman’s suffrage speecn. She spoke in ringing tones and with dramatic gestures and said: “You men must keep your promises and give us a suffrage plank. You have been telling us that ‘the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,’ but I want to say to you, gentlemen, that unless you make your promises good at this conven- tion there will be no cradles to rock and no babies to put in them.” Mrs. Lease, who was on the platform, caught the lastsentence and in a horrified whisper said to the chairman, “For heaven’s sake, call that child down!’ but the chairman only laughed and re- plied, “‘Let her alone; she’s all right.” The applause when she had finished was deafening. At receas they took the little suffragist up on their shouiders and carried her around the hall. She was the idol of the convention. During Lewelling’s administration Mrs, Lease was visiting the Boys’ Reform School at Topeks, and Louise accompa- nied her. There were 200 boys out on the playground, and Louise was soon the cen- ter of an interested group. She conceived the idea that bere was an opportune time to look after her political fences, and she made a speech to the boys, concluding as follows: “Now, bovs, a great many years from now I may be a candidate for Congress or the United States Senate. By that time you boys will be men and I want you to Ppromise to vote for me.” Two hundred lusty-lunged youngsters applauded with all their might and shouted, “We will.” Miss Lease is a strict vegetarian, eschew- ing meat, eggs and milk. She thinks sacred and to destroy it a crime. During the Worla’s Fair her mother introduced her to Perusha Tan Rao Telang, a high- caste Brahmin priest, who was there as a delegate to the World’s Congress of Re- ligions. The priest became greatly in- terested in Louise and her views regard- ing the sacredness of animal life and told Mrs. Lease that without a doubt the child was a reincarnation. That he was deeply impressed is proved by the fact that he came clear from- Chicago 10 Wichita after the World’s Fair for no other reason than to see the child. His appearance here in his rich - oriental garb nearly scared the people in the Lease neighborhood out of their wits. He made a long visit at the a great future for his young friend. In parting h: gave her his blessing by re- peating a Hindoo prayer. Miss Lease wrote the class song and her poems have attracted considerable atten- tion locally. The last issue of the High School Messenger contains the following from her pen: Forget Me Nots. I came to-day to the quiet grave Where lay my love of long past years And the 0ld, old sorrow came, Hooding My eyes with a burst of tears. But 1 saw through the misty tear-drops Forget-me-nots’ tender hue, And the heart-pain that swelled from longing Ceased at that gilmpse of bive. For as old flowers 1n o0ld places spring, And year by year thelr blossom renew, 8o, In Heaven will be the ola loved faces, And, dearest, 1 shall find you. Her immediate futura is to be just one long play day until next September, when she will enter colleze. This summer she will accompany her mother on a jaunt among the lakes and later will probably g0 with her on her New England tour. PANTHER AND WOLVLS COMBINE. They Form a Hunting Trio and Divide the Spoils. Two wolves and a panther formed an alliance in Maine a month ago, if the Bredville Local of that State is to be be- lieved, and the result has been disastrous to wild creatures of that region, as well as to some tame ones. “Barker Simpkins and Fred Parsley,” the Local says, “were hunting over on the 0ld Pine ridge a few days ago, when they heard a yelping howl across the swamp as if dogs were chasing a deer. As the sounds came closer the men made haste with still hunters’ caution to two run- ways that cross the ridge, hoping to get a shot at the dogs, since it is against the law to hunt deer with dogsin this State. S8imp- kins took to the runway on the north side of the ridge and had scarcely waited ten minutes when he heard the steady beat of a running deer’s hoofs in the three inches of snow down in the swamp. The deer came into sight twenty rods away, headed very nearly toward the place where the man was seated, and had come within ten rods of the man when a lithe form leaped from & big birch tree branch, hit the deer and rolled overand over with it. The deer never got Up again, its neck having been broken. “Simpkins was so surprised that he forgot to shoot for a minute, when the an- imals that were in pursuit of the deer came into view. They were wolves, tall and gaunt, with gray bair. The wolves ran without hesitation to the deer, and while the beast which had killed it, which Simpkins made out to be a panther, tore at the deer’s throat, the wolves bit through the skin of the baunches and ate chunks of the smoking flesh, unopposed by the panther. “Less than a week later another nunter, Sam Wells, found the trails of two dog- iike sets of paws on a aeer trail. Follow- ing these two miles, Wells came to a gnily, and bere were the remnants of the deer, and the leaps a panther had made left an unmistakable trail, “Nick Schumacner, a German, living two miles from Bredville, a farmer and sheep-raiser, neard a wild commotion in the sheep shelter in the pasture, which begins thirty rods from his house. Has- tening into a pair of overalls and felt boots, Schumacher took bis rifie and made his way rapidly along the path to the shelter. The sheep—there nad been fifty-eight of them in ali—were seen to be racing avbout in all direc- tions, bleating in fear. On the man’s approach a long animal bounded off through the snow, but until it was be- yond the sheep no shots were fired, and they were ineffectual when they were made. Two other animals were there, but the German did not see them. Their trails, found in the morning, showed them to have been wolves, probably, and the trail of the jumper was that of & panther. Eight sheep were killed, some of them be- ing literally torn in two. “The last heard of the odd trio was yes- terday. Burt Jones went fox-hunting with his dog, a half bull and haif hound, which had put many bears into trees. Finding the wolves' trails Jones put his dog onto them. Three hours’ later Jones who fullowed the trail of his dog, came up with it. A hip and bit of the backbone were on a log and tracks indicated that one of the wolves had lain there to eat its share. The head and foreshoulders had plainly fallen to the lot of the panther, for the bones were found under a branch'of a large beech, as if dropped from the beech. The rest of the body had gone to the sec- ond wolf and lay where the trampled snow showed the dog’s last fighting place, It looked to Jones as if the wolves had led the dog to the panther’s resting-place and there, with the panther's aid, had killed it.”" ————— SUPERIOR TURTLE SOUP. The First Person Who Made This Excel- lent Concoction for London. The first person in London who mads turtle soup for sale was Samuel Birch. He flourished during the latter portion of the last and the early days of the present cen- tury. He was not only a purveyor, but a dramatist, author, colonel of militia, and finally Lord Mayor of London. Birch in- herited the business from his father, who was a confectioner or pastry cook. The son much enlarged the scope of the busi- ness and added to it the making of turtle soup of such superior excelience that all the famous bons vivants of London met at his establishment toenjoy the concoc- tion. He did not alone excel in this dish. He was also noted for the quality of his venison, as well as that of numerous other aliments which hezupplied. The principal atfraction, however, was the turtle soup, with 1ts accompaniments of lemon,cayenne pepper and toasted bread. After his ap- pointment as colonel of a militia regiment, in allusion to his calling, he was known as ““Marshal Tureen.” This sobriquet he took in good part. He retorted, however, upon one of his officers, who was a dealer in corn and flour, by conferring on him the name of ‘‘Marshal Sacks.” Burch rose successively from Common Coun- cilor and_Alderman to Lord Mayor of London. During his tenure of office the turtie soup served at the Mansion House gave his banquets a vogue that aroused fierce competition to se- cure invitations. His fame as dramatist and author lingered for a considerable period after his death. The inscription that he wrote for a statue of George III, in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, will re- otherwise be unknown. His daughter was the wife of the French poet Lamartine. Probably England has not produced an- other man who, from the humble position of a maker of turtle soup has attained to walks of life.—New York Sun. ——————— Only Sumner’s Tree Lived, A member of the Park Commission of C.

The Only Remaining One of an Heir- loom Cluster Set in a Man’s Tooth, A new way to keep a diamond from be- ing lost or stolen has been discovered by F. Van Craenbroeck, 5521 Washington avenue, with the aid of a Hyde Park den- tist. Instead of having the gem set in a ring or stud Mr. Van Craenbroeck yester- day afternoon caused the precious stone to be placed in a cavity in one of his teeth, call him to generations to whom he would | where it will be both ornamental and use- fal, and probably in no danger of falling into the hands of thieves. This particular diamond has a known history that extends back through the French revotution and four generations of 20 much distinction in_so many other | yi/e young mai's family. It was to pre- serve it and not because he needed it as tooth filling that he had the stone set in an upper bicuspid.

Monday afternoon a hole was drilled in to put a two-year-old child on the | the front of the first upper bicuspid tooth street and say, “Now you've got a pretty | in such a position that when the diamond was set it would sparkle in plain_sight whenever the young man smiled. Yester- day the setting was completed. ‘The cavity was drilled round, but the stone had been cut with one large facet and many small ones. The hole was only deep enough to admit a part of the stone, the remainder being allowed to project from the tooth like the satting of a ring. The cavity was finally filled full of tooth cement and the dizmond was pressed into it. The large facet was left on the out- side. Then the dentist took & small mal- let and a bit of wood and pounded the diamond into place, just as is customary in filling teeth with gold. Whnen tne pounding was completed the setting o the stone was ended with the exception of scraping away the cement from the edges of the diamond, which will be done later. It required the most careful handling to keep the diamond from getting lost. Whenever it dropped out of the cavity during the fitting process the sparkle was all that enabled the dentist to find it. Once or twice it dropped to the floor, and the owner of the diamond and the dentist had a long search for it. The precious tooth-filling shinas best by lnmslight, when it is visible across a good- sized room. Even by daylight, however, the sparkle of the gem wiil be sufficient to attract attention whenever its owner parts his lips. As it is placed at the front of the tooth the setting will last a lifetime. Itis said this is the first csse of a dia- mond being used in Chicagoasa tooth- filling. The experiment has been tried in New York in one of two instances, and in Europe, but there is no known instance where a gem with the historical interest of this one has been setin such a queer place to preserve the stone and not the tooth.—Chicago Daily Tribune. —_————— The Three K The origin of the oft-quoted expression, the three R's, was contained in a hand- bill issued by a Mr. James Williams, who kept a shop not far from Lancaster, which read as follows: “James Williams, rish clerk, Saxtone, town crier, and E:llmlfl. makes and sells ail sorts of haberd: i groceries, etc., likewise bair_and wigs drest and cut on the shortest notice.
