TOLD ABOUT THE TURK

GE.VCRAL LBW WALLACG AXD HIS SKW L.KCTIIIC Kntlve Life an Seen In Old ConstantinopleThe Distinguished Author Kntertnlns n Cultured Audience. Ban Francisco Chronicle. "Turkey and the Turks, and the man who knows all about them, completely filled the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian Association building last night. That renowned author, soldier and diplomat. Gen. Lew tValiace, who gave "Ben-Hur," etc., to the literary world, made his first appearance in this city as a lecturer. Naturally, the people wanted to see the author. The reception was extremely flattering. The General possesses no trick of oratory, but reads plainly and distinctly and with dignified effect from manuscript held In one hand, while he gesticulates with studied elegance with the other. After an affectionate Introduction by Gen. W. H. L. Barnes the distinguished writer on Eastern topics opened his address by saying that he had an Oregonian cold. He Impressed the fact that the cold was not caught in California. However, the trouble existed, and on that account the General asked the audience to grant him the Indulgence of a conversational tone. That boon being conferred without hesitation, the speaker opened up on "Turkey and the Turks." The lecturer had often been asked as to the best route to Constantinople, and the answer given possessed all the accuracy and necessary detail of a railroad guide. By following those directions to the letter the final effect of the trip was like the climax led up to by the dramatist or author. The scenery en route compared favorably with picturesque bits along the Hudson and lower Niagara. Steaming up the Bosphorus on the approach to the Sublime Porte the wonderful variety of boats to be seen filled the pilgrim with awe and admiration. Every sort of craft from the majestic ocean liner to the puffing tug and the lazy fishing boat greeted the eye. On 'drawing nearer the red-tiled roofs of the houses stood clearly outlined against the 6k y. Bitting on the balconies were the inhabitants, mostly women and children, taking the air or looking at the fishermen and their sluggish "boats. "As you look at the tired Turks," he continued, "you wonder If there Is any advantage In doing nothing." But after awhile the pilgrim realizes that they have plenty of time and room for reflection, and the day does not seem so entirely wasted, after all. As you sweep along the pretty towns and villages increase In number on either side of the silvery stream, until finally the ancient walls, towers and minarets of old Constantinople burst upon the gaze. S FIRST EXPRESSIONS. Rigidly avoiding statistics the General Save his first Impressions on beholding Constantinople. On entering the place he forgot all else save the origin and antiquity of the city. He encountered the odors arising In the narrow, crooked streets, and envied the pigeons circling In the puro ozone higher up. 'Two blocks from the custom house," ho said, "the stranger 13 overrun with dogs and beggars. The dogs belong to no one and everybody belongs to the beggars. Wonderful variety In the study of human life Is afforded by watching the tides ebb to and fro in the great city. People of all classes and nationalities are there congregated. The Turk is Jealous of his own and would, if he could, expel all others. As for the people, every slxty-mile-an-hour tourist takes them all to be Turks. "The presence of red fea does not necessarily imply that the wearer is a Turk. All the subjects of his Majesty the Sultan are compelled to wear the fez, but there are thousands who are not, but who adopt that style of headgear At the cafes is the best place to see the Turk. Round and fat of face, he sits and sips his coffee, happy Indolent and contented. His mental power Is acute rather than strong. He loves disquisition and runs to the abstract In reassonlng.. The Turk possesses no artistic sense and he took pleasure in wrecking statues left by the Jews when the city was taken. Neither are the subjects of the Sultan inclined to mechanics and they are regarded In the East as indifferent merchants. They make ruga as a specialty and there Is nothing from whih the Turks suffer more than from hostility among themselves. "Literature is In no sense a fad, the tendency of the country being toward religion. The faith of tho Turk has undergone no change. God is still his God, and Mohammed is still his prophet. They possess many good traits of mind and heart and many so-called Christians would profit by studying "the Christianity of the Turk. "While In Constantinople the General saw many drunken men, but none of them were natives. The patrol wagon there is patfonized exclusively by aliens from more enightened lands. Another trait of the native Is his kindness to dumb beast3. The teamster Is never seen to beat his horse, and the thousands of homeless dogs are not molested. They have the right of vay at all hours in the principal streets, "The Turk also has great respect for women. A mob of the gentler sex is sufficient to stampede a company of soldiers without a blow being struck. The native is also the politest man on earth. Among wine Christian races courtesy is almost unknown, but the humblest Turk Is a true Chesterfield. II; Is also a very devout man. The prayer he says is short and simple, as the supplicant is satisfied that God sees and hears him, and that fact makes the devout Turk supremely happy. At times he becomes abstract in the intensity of his devotion. As a soldier the Turk is also great. End the old Mohammedan reward of ancient times is still an incentive to valor on the part of the Sultan's standing army. HOME LIFE "Defeats in battle which have overtaken the at my are due. more to ignorance and Jealousy among the officers than to lack of valor on the part of the soldiers. In taking account of the military of Europe It will not Co to Ignore the Turk. In the matter of home life the Turk is very pleasantly situated. While polygamy is permitted he is careful to take no more wives than he can support In comfort Their home life is happy, and the ladles of the harem are by no means the prisoners peering from latticed windows that romancers have depicted them. The wife has one apartment in the house of which she is absolute mistress. Bhe can go visiting when and where she pleases without consulting the master. On shopping days Mrs. Turk flxesj herself up in gaudy silken trousers and other things and Visits the bargain counters at the bazars. "The husband is a well-trained individual, who, should he meet his better half at the bazar, turns quietly and makes his escape without comment. She is there to buy what shd pleases, and his business is to pay for the purchases. The ladles always get themselves up in elegant style before leaving the house, and each harem has an accomplished artist on its staff whose business is to fresco the faces of the beauties. It is through a carriage window that the Turkish woman Is seen to tlw best advantage on the street, as the waddle of a duck, is considered an exact description of her gait. Turks prefer to select wives from among the Circassian beauties, whom they buy on the matrimonial exchange, but In spite of all their fabled beauty the ladies of the harem are not as handsome as our own women here In America." The speaker closed with a brief insight Into the character and habits of the Sultan, who looks and dresses like a European. It pleased the General greatly to hear the Sultan declare in a public place that the United States was the only country that had not conspired against his. He Is, indeed, a most potent monarch, for more than one powerful Pasha has been known to drip with sweat and agony under the gaze of the Sultan. Ills Is an absolute government, yet Turkey and the United States are the only really Democratic countries in the world. There all men are equal, and in Turkey everybody but the Sultan is a slave. Even a negro can aspire to a high position in the army, owing to a footing of equality enjoyed by the slaves. The General corrected the impression that the Turkish empire was hastening to an end. That end, he said, depends on the settlement of the Eastern question, which is the partition of the Ottoman possessions by the various countries of Europe, They are striving for those posesslons, while Turkey simply asks to Je let alone. The question Is no nearer a settlement than it was fifty years ago, for the Sultan is a great diplomat By X'laylng his enemies against each other he manages to hold his own. Two Conceited Men. London Literary World. I was once present at a literary reception at which Mr. Whistler and Mr. Ofcar Wilde were the Hons for the afternoon. Unfortunately, the lions came too early, when the few previous arrivals were altogether too Insignificant to be introduced to them. So they had to talk to each other. It was on a very warm Sunday afternoon in the season, and Mr. Whistler, by the by, was wearing a white "duck" waistcoat and trousers, and a fibulously long frock coat made, I think, of black alpaca, and carrying a brass-tipped Allele abour, four feet long la his right hand.

and a wonderful new paint Lox, of which he was proud, under his let arm. Neither of the Hons took any notice of whit the other Kald. Finally Mr. Wilde, who had spent the previous jummer In America, began: "Jimmy, this time last year, when I was in New York, all we men were carrying fans it should be done here." Instead of replying, Mr. Whistler observed that he had ju3t returned from Pari3, and that he always came by the Dieppe route, because it gave you so much longer for painting sea effects. Whether Oscar thought he was going to. have an opportunity of scoring or what, he was tempted to break through the contempt with which he had treated Mr. Whistler's remarks. "And how many did you paint In four hours, Jimmy?" he asked, with his most magnificent air of patronage. "I'm not sure," said the irrepressible Jimmy, quite gravely, "but I think four or five hundred."

THE DRESS OF TUB. DAY. "Winter Fashions Xow "Well Defined Some Details. New York Sun. Dress as it r.ppears in mid-season between summer and winter, is as Incoherent as a troubled dream. Furs and China silks Jostle each other as they pass, while hats and bonnets of the most summery description walk side by side with the latest confection of winter millinery, and the astonishing thing about it is that pride, not the weather, apparently has exactly the same effect on the comfort of the wearer. This disposition to rush the season, to don winter garments without regard to their need, Is a well-recognized tendency of New York fashions, and the result is a picturesque confusion of purpose and materials, which is both Interesting and amusing. Only those who are the favored of fashion can afTord to anticipate the season with new costumes, and it is a harmless bit of vanity and no doubt a kindly consideration for their less fortunate sisters, who are seeding ideas for future use, which leads them to display their gowns so early. It Is evident that fur garments, fur trimmings, and velvets are to be a special feature of winter fashions, and these, combined with dainty laces and airy chiffons, are elegant indeed. Sable and Persian lamb are especially popular for trimming, while chinchilla and ermine are not far behind. Black velvet costume3 are bordered at the foot with ermine and wide bretelles of the fur adorn the bodice, which has a touch of blue or cerise satin at the neck and belt. Coats and capes of sealskin and Persian lamb are equally fashionable, but the latter must have more of a wavy moire surface than the close -curl, once so much sought after, or it is not quite up to date. Furs are usually very becoming, but they must be of the best quality and well made. Nothing can compare with the rich velvety softness of sealskin, not even the rare sable, which is almost beyond price. Coat9 are close fitting, with full skirts, which vary in length between twenty-seven and forty-six inches. The very latest sealskin sleeve is a modern edition of the bishop variety, without the gathers at the wrist, where a narrow cuff finishes it Pointed revers are seen pn all of the fur coats and high rolling collars, which are a work of art in graceful curve and outline, make a most becoming frame for the face, in capes and coats alike. The regulation muttn-Jeg sleeve, larger in size, is, however, the most popular shape for fur Jackets. Fur boas are worn both short and long, but they are wider than they were last year and are finished with a multiplicity of talis, with head and paws of the animal In addition. For those who do not care for fur, there is a black chiffon ruff Imported from Paris, plaited so 'full that thirty-six yards of material are necessary to give it the requh-ed size. It Is tied in front with black satin ribbon. French dressmakers display an entire costume of carcule, and are making bodice fronts of sable, ermine and Persian lamb. Fur muffs have not grown in proportion to the sleeves, and are not much, if any, larger than they were last year, while fancy muffs of silk and velvet, in the latest Parisian designs, are simply immense. In the hand they look to be half a yard across. One of accordion-plaited silk is trimmed with fur and upstanding bows of ribbon, and so frilled at the ends that there Is scarcely room for one hand insUe. Dresses for day wear continue to have quite plain but very full skirts, so exquisitely cut and skillfully hung that the appearance of extreme fullness Is lost in the graceful folds. They fit so closely around the hips that the seams are cut with a curve from the waist to round, out the fullness below. Bodices entirely covered with cream guipure are In evidence this season, as they were last, with the added extravagance of a velvet foundation. A blue cloth gown of the shade known as periwinkle has a plain, voluminous skirt, trimmed on either side of the front with a narrow band of mink tails. The bodice is of rose velvet, veiled with cream guipure and edged with fur. The lower part of the sleeve is opened up to the elbow on the inside of the arm, showing a band of velvet. Black satins are in great demand for elderly ladies and young matrons, and make up like velvets; -with a touch of color they are very fetching .and youthful costumes. Chiffon, the color of tangerines, is used very effectively on one gown; it forms the collar with a wide bow at the back, and a cascade ruche extends down the front in the form of a bolero, with the addition of a wide galon of Jet and gold sequins. A white satin vest covered with cream lace gives a very elegant air to a more sombre gown. Among the novelties is a black lace net wide enough for a skirt, and kilt plaited with a close set row of Jet beads down the center of each plait, while for bodices a narrower net is used, with a strip of beads carried across at Intervals. Some of the bodice trimmings in Jet take the form of huge bat wings which almost cover the front, or the epaulets, which are made without stiffening, and often united to straps of jet both back and front. Perpendicular bands of Jet make an effective skirt trimming, put on at wide Intervals across the front from the hem to the knee, with similar but shorter band3 starting from the waist. Buttons of the simple kind, which may do service Instead of hooks and eyes, i and buttons with entirely decorative intentions are coming in again. Dainty painted figures peep out from frames of gold and silver, and large buttons composed of a network of steel, rhinestones, and, in rare cases, of real diamonds set in gold are seen. An Imported gown of navy blue canvas has small silver coin buttons at the end of narrow braid, put on the skirt in horizontal lines of varying lengths. Another gown of the same material is trimmed with bands of black satin iind tiny silk buttens. , Xotes from Various Sources. Braiding remains a very fashionable trimming. It is too effective to be given up, either as a decoration for wraps or gowns. Directolre bonnets with wide velvet brims and eccentric crowns, which look as if they might develop into regular coal scuttles, are now, set forth by fashionable milliners. Picture hats grow larger and larger, and there Is no limit to the number of colors and the variety of materials used in their construction. Red will be more worn this year than during many past winters. It is very cheerful-looking for house wear during the dreary season, and If the right shade Is chosen, red is, as a rule, a becoming color. Magenta red, so popular Just now for folded velvet collars and other accessories of the bodice, is rather trying to many, but there are also dahlia and wine reds, as well as reds of the geranium and cherry tones, and likewise any number of other shades of the primary color, so no woman who admires red need do herself Injustice by wearing an unbecoming tone of it. Not only the dress skirt, but the petticoat beneath, is made especially to impart the now universal flaring effect; and to obtain this requisite distension the silk forming the petticoat is lined throughout with horsehair. It Is made with organ flutes at the back, and has a deep yoke on the front and sides, with a wide-fluted flounce at the lower edge. This substitute for crinoline is an English one, and is patented as "The Elizabeth Petticoat," and anything more suggestive of crinoline proper than the title and appearance of the skirt could not possibly be furnished. The wonderful improvements made, in weaving takes very much from the bulk of the fabrics composing them, without losing any of the requisite warmth, and every year it becomes more easy to find underwear especially suited to individual requirements. Very many women, of stout build especially, prefer undergarments of the modern weave, all In one length; others prefer Jersey garments woven separately. Again the liking may be for a suit of triple character, the short underskirt by ingenious weaving being included In this unified article of attire. To provide warmth without undue weight or hulk round the waist and hips is the great aim of the manufacturers of this class of clothing. Fniuily Economy. Harper's Bazar. "What was the first money you ever earned. Hicks?" "Money I didn't get." said Hicks. "My mother cut off my curls when I was a small boy and wore 'em herself. I must have saved her $30 or H1)." The Living Pictures Create a great deal of excitement among certain families, but they do not give near as much satisfaction as the ever-popular 'Columbia" or "Home Brew Beer." Order some in bottles.

Those Unlit in. San Frnnclioo by A. Satro, the Tnnnel Millionaire. San Francisco Examiner. The Satro baths exceed the famous Roman baths of antiquity in size as well as equipment. The largest of the Roman baths had about two hundred feet of frontape, to use the modern commercial terms of designation. Two of these great bathing places mig'ht be dropped within the Sutro baths and still leave room enough for men to walk and women to flirt. Adolph Sutro is a skillful engineer, and he enjoys solving problems in construction or breaking through difficulties in mechanics as he enjoys invigoratirg exercise. He designed the building over the bath devised the plan for water supply, invented and patented the apparatus for heating the water. The Sutro tunnels, second series, are part of his scheme of construction. With the ocean at his feet, the 'breakers dashing against the rocks, Mr. Su'tro .leemed that nature had so well provided roarer to send the water to the bathing tanks that artificial means would be unnecessary. Therefore, with much noi3e and enthusiasm, he blasted out a basin in the solid reck. Over the edge of this basin comes th water of the huge rollers. Instead of riling the crest of the wave, 'Mr. Sutro traps the crest of the wave and uses it for his own purpose. From the basin the water flows through tunnels and canals, passes gate: until It reaches the reservoir, where it .armed by the Sutro patent process, and then It flows Into the great tanks 'in the huge glass and teel building. On the road to the tanks through the canals and the tunnels the water has to pay toll of sand. Of course it would not do to have the waves carry their load of sand into the baths, so a settling place Is provided. By automatic arrangement, also the device of Mr. Sutro, the sand is washed back into the ocean, while the water, cleared, goes on its course through tunnels and canals to the tanks. Sometimes the tide is very low, and sometimes the ocean, even at the cliff, is quiet. There might b times when the water could not dash over the rocky wall into the basin. Artifice is employed to take the place of nature when nature Is In a quiet mood. An emergency pipe pokes Its black proboscis under the waves, and a pump can draw through it five thousand gallons a minute whenever the five thousand Kallons are wanted In a minute. Having made enough tunnels to admit the water, sandles3 and tepid, to the tanks, Mr. Sutro had to provide for sending the water to sea again, that the ocean might not be drained. Dropping out the water at the place at which it was taken In would not be satisfactory. Mr. Sutro did not want the baths to be receiving the same water over and over again. That plan would be too easy. In It were no obstacles to overcome. He laid an outlet pipe through tunnels probably several hundred feet long, and through this the water will flow from the tanks and return to the sea several hundred feet from the place whence it was taken. The water that 'comes in through the tunnels must fill six tanks. The largest of these, the main swimming tank, is 275 feet long, and at the place of greatest breadth Is ISO feet wide. The other tanks are smaller. Some will be used for ladies and children, some for beginners: each one has its particular use. One tank will be filled with cold salt water for swimmers who want a shock. Then there is a little tank tilled with fresh water, supplied from the Sutro water works on the "blutt above.

And the dressing rooms, every one provided with a fresh water shower and an electric light, and the clubrooms for the companies of bathers they are counted by hundreds, and are built tier upon tier, until the visiter is amazed at their number as much as he wondered at the maze of tunnels. The spectacular effect of the baths was prominent in the purpose of Mr. Sutro in planning these baths. The glazed roof, that great span that Is more than two acres in area, is so high above the tanks that looking up to the vault seems like peering from the court of the Palace Hotel to the sixth story. Elevators and grand staircases give communication from one tier of the building to another. About the bathing tanks are seats in tiers; seats ,for 5,300 people in a great amphitheater, and there is room for fifteen thousand more to stand and to promenade. A place that can accommodate twenty thousand people at one time must be of some size. At the ocean end of the tanks is a great stage, fifty feet broad, on which musicians will be seated. By the sides of the staircases are planted wonderful tropical plants, and in great boxes above the promenades are growing palms. The baths are full of beauty and color. Through the glass -side walls is the ocean view. Provision is made for three restaurants, each on a different tier of the building, an aquarium, a carriage entrance, a conservatory, and possibly more tunnels. MASSAGE CURES. Moat Spralna and Drnlie Treated by Ilnbblnc: Injured Parts. Philadelphia Times. A professional friend surprised the writer, yesterday, by saying he wondered why men wore black eyes when there was no necessity for it. Half an hour of massage. Judiciously applied, after the injury, he added, would prevent any such ugly condition. "Massage." he continued, "19 a restful cure for many ills folks know, but to how many uses It can be put remains an unknown quantity to the laity." "But about the eye. doctor?" "As soon as the injury is received the hands should go at once to work. No scientific passes are necessary Just the primitive knowledge of how to rapidly and firmly move tMe fingers' over a given spot. In ten minutes the 'blueness is fading, and at the end of thirty minutes no 'blackness is visible. It is better and surer treatment far than any amount of raw beef, salves or poultices." This method does not only apply to the eye. but is good for any blow or fall which produces "blue marks." Should a child tumble down and limbs or back be hurt, nothing one can apply will as quietly prevent coagulation of blood or soreness as instant massage. The why and wherefore is quite simple, yet wise. The blood is congested as the skin Is struck, especially in soft, boneless places of the body. The clots prevent newer and better blood passing Into the bruised veins, and the transparent skin reveals the dark condition. Manipulation of this skin by the fingers presses the fresh blood into the bruised place. It loosens the clotted, blood and carries it off, thus restoring a normal circulation. This remedy Is so simple that it will possibly be forgotten, but it is a rather good bit of wisdom to keep stored away for time of emergency. Many physicians are applying massage for fractures, and especially for sprains. The writer saw a woman who had a bony growth between the joints of ttvs wrists

The patient should, if possible, rub the Joint of the ankle all the time and have zrassage delivered by others four or six times a day. Not only is the cure as speedy as under other doctoring, but also the constant relief afforded to the soreness reacts on the nervous system. The same method applies to a sprained wrist or shoulder, and it is excellent in case of a sprained back. In the case of fractures massage is being applied in the place of splints. True, all patients do not prefer it, for the constant friction of the hand on a very sore spot i3 not always soothing. It creates frequently intense pain for a while, but the Bensation is not lasting. However, some physicians claim that splints, as mechanical apparatus for perverted bones, is disadvantageous, because it weakens. The muscles are "shelved" for the time being, and the blood is not in Eood circulation, whereas in the Instance of massage all functions are stimulated by the quick circulation into which the blood is put. A GREAT GAME FAR3I. Corbln's Preserves in New Hampshire Gain Fresh Acquisitions. Loralne Republican. A car attached to an east-bound special which passed through last evening was loaded with a small band of antelope. The unusual feature connected wfth the consignment was that the greater portion of the animals were youngsters,-probably two months old. They were captured in the northern part of this State, and were en route to New Hampshire, where they will be turned loose in the most famous game park in this country, if not In the world, now the sole property of the president of the Long Island railroad. Mr. Corbin, for whom the animals were purchased, is the owner of what is now acknowledged to be the greatest game park in the country'. Among the preserves are a number of Wyoming elk, shipped by Col. William Root, of this city, about three years ago. They are said to have flourished splendidly, as, in fact, have all other animals taken from the Rocky mountains, save the antelope. Mr. Bukingham, who was in charge of the car. has been in Mr. Corbin's service for the past two years, and gave an Interesting account of what is a rival to the Yellowstone National Park in a small way. He stated that Mr. Corbln started in seven years ago by fencing 1n five thousand acres of forest land In New Hampshire. Since then he has been gradually buying up more ground and adding to 1t, until at the present time he has nearly thirty thousand acres Inclosed with barbed wire fences twelve feet high- . Five years ago Mr. Corbin started In the animal business by turning Into his park 120 deer, 150 elks, twenty moose, thirty antelopes, fifteen wild boars, about twenty buffalos and a few reindeer. The reindeer and the antelopes were the only animals that failed to thrive, and the increase in some of the other species has been marvelous. It is estimated that the deer and elks now number one thousand head, the wild boars 300 and the buffalos sixty head. (Mr. Buckingham stated that his special charge are the buffalos. During the winter the buffalos are tiaaAled like cattle and fed In corrals. The other animals are proving self-sustaining the year round. This year the park will be stocked with

A rather curious experiment which will be tried this season will be an attempt to cross the elk with a" herd of European red deer. If successful, the result Will be a magnificent animaL The only large animals which Mr. Corbln has indulged in the sport of shooting havebeen a few particularly ferocious stags and some of the wild boars. A SEW EXGLAXD KITCIICX. An Establishment Where .Food I Cooked in nn Economical Vny. Kaite Field's Paper. Boston has a unique establishment which it likes to call "not a charity, but an educative force." Its everyday name is 'Th New England Kitchen." The basis of the foundation of this Institution is the fact that men must eat to be able to live and work, and that the average wage-earner spends nearly two-thirds of his income for food. The idea Is, then, to ses if the cost of livlnj? cannot be decreased without loss of comfcrt, at least. The founders have cone even a step further. I and are trying to gtve additional comfort for less money. . In doing this, the good ladies who undertook the work, have had to combat prejudices, traditions and otnr tangible as well as intangible obstacles. The ilrst step was the opening of a place where inexpensive but highly nutritious food could be well prepared on a large scale. In deciding upon the dishes to be prepared a limit had to be placed upon the cost of the materials needed, the labor of making, its healthfulness, its suitability to the popular palate and whether it can bekept hot for a lon& time without injury. The result of trial has been the production of a few simple dishes which have brought into the kitchen's treasury Jrf.OuO In, a slnxle year, and an untold aving of time, trouble and money to the families which have learned to depend upon its bill of fare. This bill of fare offers nutritious food already prepared for the needs of the sick: a warm meal all ready for serving at the proper hour, whether the mother has been too busy at home or abroad or too 111 to cook for herself In short, busy men and women wfio live alone, or families the members of which all need to work, are sure of finding appetizing food without trouble and at little cost. It remains to be seen whether any other city could make a success of such an experiment. There certainly seems to be room for such an institution in every city, if its founders will do as the Boston women do in this instance, subordinate theory to facts. Find what the people want and then give it to them in as innocuous a form as possible. The Wrung Sort of Tots. Buffalo Courier. "Houser asked me up to take pot luck with him last night, confound him." That's a strange way to speak of a friend's hospitality." "Not much it ain't. I lost every blamed, one I opened."
