WRITTEN FOR THE STARj BY BION H. BUTLER. xuxirmixn txnrtrnxxr I TIT some men the tublo cuts bin figure. The last time I come down the roml from Washington tho train had hardly reached the broad water of the Potomac until a sprightly negro announced din ner In the dining car. ' The dining car does the thlug right, and how vastly dillurent from tho old method. Twen ty-flve years ago, when I traveled the South for tho first time, I bumped against the Southern bill of faro. It started with fried chicken and biscuits I am honest enough to say the fried chicken was prime and the biscuits all right. The thing that I objected to was that we hud them for the next meal in the noxt hotel. At the next town we had them again. We found them at the railroad eating station. In the next town we had fried chicken and biscuits. 1 am not surprised now when I strike a Southern town and have fried chicken and biscuits olTored me. I have acquired tho habit and would probably propose to lynch he waiter If he failed tn bring either of them. Along In 1881, 1 had made a voyage of the South. Starting at St. Louis, I commenced to eat fried chicken and biscuits down through Missouri and lntoTexas.whore pork and dumpling was thrown In with it, and I finally ended the journey around through the gulf states and up the Atlantic coast and struck tho old Glrard- IIouso In Phlla- lphia. When we reached tho dining room I felt Uko Moses, who from the top of Mount Plsgah looked down upon the promised land. When the waiter asked mo what I would have I told him In a superior way of the man who has trav eled, "Anything but fried chicken and hot biscuits." And when a follow who was Bitting down at tho same table said, Same hero waiter," I thought I had mado a brilliant play. He was just up from bis first long trip South and he wanted corned beof and apple butter and doughnuts and pio, and such plun der as we looked upon as victuals then. I hope he has been South often enough slnco then to know the real virtues of ed chicken. For It might have been among tho things spoken of In the open ing chaptors of Genesis, of which It Is said the Lord saw that It was good. No two sections have the same food. For instance, in Altoona, when the 'ruin stops they bring you a weinor sandwich. In tho Fronch Market at New Orleans if you buy a cup of colTee they throw in a baked thing that looks like an old Dutch pillow; but if you have the oou 'ago to eat it you'll find It is wor'ii tho effort. I stopped ono day at Fredericksburg, Va., at a restu'irant where Homo oyster scows were iinloailini! outers, and told tho restaurant mini to give mo a quarter's worth. When ho brought them in, some raw, eomn stewed and some fried I knew why hu smiled when I gave hira the order. That -vas before I had learned that a man may, in soma places on tidewater cat all the oysters he cares to tackle for a nickel. The cooking of each section Is pe culiar. When I lived in a lumbor camp In Elk county, Pennsylvania, yours ago, tho superintendent told me ono day I could havo some tomatoes if I would curry them from the farm down' at tho I naunuai uaipm mmwg GUARANTEE SATISFACTION. With tho spring time most people have a carpet to bo woven. Now I have been here for tho last six years and still roady to weave your carpets inside of a week's notice. The pricos are lower than ever be fore. These prices arc for both weaving and chain : 1-2 pound of chuin to tho squnroyd. or 12 threads to tho Inch, 21 cents. 1) oz. of chain to the square yard or 13 1-3 threads to the Inch. 22 cents. 10 oz. of chain to the Bquare yard or 15 thrends to tho Inch, 2'M cents. 3-4 pound of chain to the squareyard or 18 threads to the Inch, 2H cents. 1 pownd of chain to tho square yard, or 24 threads to tho Inch, 31 cents. When you furnish the chain I chargo ten cents a yard for weaving. Tho chain I keep on hand is of the boat kind all of the five ply. If I should have to buy my chain rotall I would not be able to give you these low prices, but I buy it in five hundred pound lots or more, and if the price of cotton should go down I will give you tho benefit of It. And if tho piece is 20 yards or more will muka H to order and to fit your room at tho above prices per square yard, and for out of town people will pay freight ono way. Pit aso call and see my work, or send for samples of chain. I have a few hundred yards of good Carpet for sale very cheap. Teopeel Ono door east of Borough Hall.

The tomatoes came on the table cooked in onions and not a man of the thirty would lot them come near his plate. We had a cook from over in Yorlt State who had that kind of ideas. We have grown used to the Dixie bill of fare : Pork jowl and greens, corn bread and sweet potatoes, fried chicken and hot biscuits, until, when we drop into a house where they profess to do good home cooking "like you had in the North" It Is atiresomoexperlonco When you are in Homo it is wise to eat what the Romans eat. That rule struck me all right last summer when water melons were right for taking, for the theory here in North Carolina Is that no watermelon ever grew big enough to cut Into two shares. We have a k'nd and thoughtful government. In the batch of seeds It sent me last winter wore several that were strangers. So Jn my garden In tho summer were col- hirds, okra, mustard, cymlings and lot of other things. The cymlings are saucy little squashes and we took them nto fellowship. Col lards are a variety of cabbage and they are green in the garden right now. We stood for all of them but the okra. Tho gardener in sisted that okra was good and we should plant considerable, so he was given all the right of way. We had okra to give to him and to send to all our neighbors We tried it og the table one day, and that afternoon gave tho gardener an order to plant no more, unless possibly enough for seed. We may loarn to like It some day. Okra has a beautiful flower, as big as a hollyhock and it grows in the samo inJustriou9 shapo It bears an edlblo pod almost as larsfo as an ear of corn, which Is used for soups. A good crop or okra is almost as generous as a mow of hay. I think as between tho two I would rather eat a big, juicy slippery elm poultice next time. But aside from okra there Is little down this way. that I have not learned to eat without flinching. Tho Esquimaux thrive on their seal blubber and would starve to death on tho rice of tho East Indian, The woods' mon of Jefferson county, Pennsylvania, cat red ants as eagerly as the squaws of Nevada cat grasshoppers, or as the French eat snails. Once I was dining with an acquaintance in Southern Hun gary. lie saiu no nau a tnsli that was of uncommon excellence I tasted it and havo never liked the man Bince, for it was tho tail of the broad-tailed sheep of that section, and while he liked It I could soe nothing to it but strong and half-rancid mutton tallow with a lot of ot her things to help make tho combina tion more outrageous. It had the Scotch haggis beat to a stand-still. They make a obeeso of sheep's milk over in that country that ought to entitle the in ventor to a long drawn out torture and death, but the peoplo cat it. It sult the climate, so tho diet of the South suits tho South, and gradually tho stranger gets to like hoe cuko and but termilk and cow peas cooked wftta pork, and all tho peculiar things, and to think nothing else so good. ' Even the Yankees catch on to the Demay I 358. West Roynoldsvillo, Pa. spring chicken idea, for In Southorn Pines they have been eating fried chick en so enthusiastically that the price of frying chickens has gone up in the past ton yearn from 15 cents a chicken to 20 cents u pound. Tho "country price" for growu chickens some distance from the town Is still 25 Bents a chicken, uoanat' ter if it is as big as a cow, although, to tell the truth in confidence, not many of them get that big. But in town to Bull a chicken for anything like that would be evidence of an unbalanced mind. The cultivated taste of the Yankee vis itor has bulled the chicken market. No man who has lived here long growls at fried chicken. , REDUCED RATE TO WASHINGTON Via Pennsylvania Railroad, Account In augutation of President Roosevelt.
