HOW WESTON OBEYED Gen. Weston, commissary gen eral ot subsistence, probably has more friends than any other In the army. There are f-- officers that do not like Jack Weston, and do not call him friends If they barely know him. A story Is told of Weston when be was before Santiago, with headquarters at Biboney. A number of artists of first- class weeklies became eery fond of him, and shortly after they landed SUSAN’S BUTTERFLY. Mue-Eyed Sljad lived on the edge of a deep forest that was ao tL.cH and gloomy and black that even in the middle of the brightest day of all the bright day* of the year there waa nothing except twilight to bo FELL IN LINE.

These decorations consisted of painted battleships, cock fights, race horses, and kindred subjects. In color. Those trousers were the most ores- mental’things seen In Slboney, not ex cepting Gen. Miles In full dress. Wes ton wss game, and wore them after they bed received ell the decorations, and stood the good-natured chaffing which resulted from bis appearance. One day he went aboard s vessel which had brought troops and sup plies to Biboney. He was superin tending the unloading of commissary stores. This wss quite e task In Itself, While be stood upon the deck giving orders and directing the men, a briga dier general approached him. "Is this Col. Weston?” asked the general. "It Is,” replied Weston. "Well," said the general, "there are tblrty-five trunks belonging to the offi cers of my command, some or my hones, and s number of chaste end other thing! belonging to the soldiers, and I wish you would unload them right away." “Well, general," replied the jovial Weston, "then Is no men In the world that likes to accommodate another men any better than I, hut what you require Is utterly Impossible. I am here gelling off commissary stores, and I can't attend to thoao matters of yours, however much I would like to." "But I order you to." eald tho brig- sdler general, wbo bad been appoint ed as » result of a fins pull, and thought hs had considerable author ity. "Ob. well,” said Col. Weston, "when It comes down to that, I might as well say 'fudge,' and let It go, for that le ell your ordors amount to." And the colonel turned and gave further di rections to hie men. The first thing he knew he wss slipped on the hack by an officer In a naval uniform that abowed he waa a captain. "Give me your hand." said thla offi cer; "and Jack Weston, with all your cock-flghta and your ships and other pictures, you are all right, and 1 want you to come down and take breakfast with me right now.” While atlll at breskrsst the briga dier general returned with a paper In hla hand and laid to Weston aa he handed It to him." "Read that!" "I have Just mislaid my glasses somewhere, and it Is Impossible for me to read It," said Col. Weston. "Well." responded the general, “Ihla la a written order for you to carry out the Instructions I gave you ver bally a few moments ago." "You may keop It, and let’s talk about something else, for It la abso lutely Imposslbe for me to do as you wish." The general became very Indignant and said: ' I am going up to Gen. Shutter's headquarters, and f shall report your conduct to him." "When you get thoro," retorted Weston, jovially, "just give him my compliments, and say that hla chief commissary Is doing first rate," This ended the conversation, and Col. Weston never heard any mors of IL—Washington Post. Japan's Native Bathing ReaorL A lady traveling In Japan thus writes of s natlvo bathing resort; "Our coolies trotted off gayly with us through a bamboo junglo till we ar rived at tho Garden of Eden. It la called llbago In the guide booke, but, nevertheless, 1 am sure It was ths Garden of Eden. Anyway, the cos tumes. If so thsy may be called, were of that' pfrlnd. Our coottee dumped ns down and refused to proceed In eplte of our embarrassed motion of the hands to wave them on. For wo had reached one of the famous bath villages, a sight supposed to be of crest Interest to the unsophisticated globetrotter, la this village the In habitants epend most of their Uvea bathing In the hot springs which abound In the netghborhod. All the village receptions and afternoon tea parties tako place In thh public bath, and It was to one of these tea partlea that we bashfully followed our guide. He removed a sliding panel In ths wall of a certain hou*e and disclosed two large tanks of steaming water, filled 'with many bathers, who re ceived us with much pleasure end many smiles. Some of them were placidly drinking tea and othera were smoking their pipes. Over that seene I would have drawn a curtain, but there was no curtain to draw." A Curlcue Accident. Whoa a train composed of about twenty-five care of faat perishable freight waa approaching the yard limit aear Georgia, VL, the trail came ewddanly to a atop. The cow- Sector went forward to ascertain what waa wrong, and found that ona ear had left tho train nnd went down B forty-fool embankment Tho car did ao damage to tho root of the train, nnd tho front and roar portions of the train eamo together and coupled itself, and the train proceed ed to Oeorgla. .. Blue-Eyed Bunn often longed to go Into the forest and see what might be hidden In It; but ber father autl Drothers, who were huntsmen to the king, warned her that It was full of monsters and witches and evil spir its, and that not even the deer would go Into It far. However, Blue-Eyed Susan, al though ahe dared not go In, stiLI walked along Ita margin every day and peered, half frightened and hall curious, Into the mysterious grees darkness. One day when she was thus stroll ing along she eaw a strange thing hanging to a tree. It was black and allken and aa big aa she wss hsrself. At first she thought that It waa a bag with some precious things In IL But when ahe approached ahe discovered that H was not a bag, but something else. Of courso Blue-Eyed Susan was fa- miliar with all sorts of ttr.ngs that are found In ths woods and fields, so ahe saw Immediately that this great bag waa nothing exoept a cocoon—but anch a greet cocoon aa waa sever •eon In the world before. 8he examined it for a long white, end then ran home to tell her father and brothers all about !L They went with her, end when they saw the vaat coooon they were for hurling their npears Into It at once, "for," said they "there can be no doubt that thla enor mous coooon Is the cocoon of a drag on or other terrlblo monster that dwella In the woods." "No, no!" cried Blue-^yed Susan, "I don't bellevo that dragons grow In cocoons. 1 om sure that some dear, beautiful butterfly Is hidden Id that, and Imaglno whet a sin It would bo If you were to destroy It!" 1 "Well, nil right," said tho old hunts men, who oould refuse hts daughter nothing. "Wo will let it hang there and ace what comoa of IL" Clue-Eyed Susan vu so Interested tn the coooon that aho went to see it every day. Once, when tho winds blew It and threatened to tear It down, she built a shelter for It of tw'lgs. And onco when the sun threatened Co bum It up she made a thatched roof of moist grasses for IL She was fortunate enough to be present on tho day when tho cocoon began to burst. She was not a bit afraid of what might come out, for •he waa sure that only beautiful things were born In ooooona. So she was not surprised at all when she saw a won derful butterfly creep out—-a butterfly With wings big cuough to cover Susan, and with colors so splendid that It ■hone sa If all ths gems of tho deep est earth had been rained on K. The great butterfly, rocking from aide to side in tho air Hke a ship, fluttered softly around her head, brushed bor face with Its silken wings and then flew away Into the forest. Blue-Eyod Susan waa sorry to see It go. and for weeks thereafter she watched eagerly to see If -It would not reappoar. Hut It did not. One day whoa she wss standfng near tho dork entrance to the forest she hoard e voice calling—calling far In the wood. Tho voice waa too far distant for Susan to bo able to under- stand the words, hut she could tell from tho manner that It was somebody who was lost 1n the forest calling for help. At first she thought that she would run homo and get her father and brothers. But aho noticed that the voice was getting farther and farther away each time It railed, so she knew that by the time she returned wKh help the lost person would be far In the middle of the forest where he could not be found. Then she called out with all her BHghL but her votes was too weak. So •he plunged Into the secret wilderness to try and approach the lost person closely enough Co make him hear. But by tha time the had achieved this, Blue-Eyed Susan waa lost herself. However, she hsd found the loet person and It turned out to be no other than the king himself. He hsd followed In pmwrlt of a black bear, and, without noticing II, ho had been led into the wild torot. You may Imaglno If the icing was glad to eee Blue-Eyed Sua-n. And Susan, you may be sure, wss glad enough to think thet It was the king whom ahe had come to help. Hut king’s can't find their way out of magic forests any more than com mon persona can. And Blue-Eyed Susan and the king stumbled and scrambled and tore through briars and thorns, and fell tn and out of deep holes and clipped over mossy recks In vein. The more they tried the leas path they did find. Just when they were going to give It up and alt down In the forest to die, a large butterfly floated down from the tope of the trees. It came fear lessly toward Susan, and the saw that it waa the very earns butterfly that had come out of the mighty cocoon. U rocked Itself for a moment on Ha glorious wings Then It began to flutter away slowly. Susan and the king looked after tt sadly. They were surprised to ere tbc butterfly return, float up and down once more tn front ot Susan, and then Better away slowly aa before. T wonder wa it a.at to abov ne terday.

Planked 8irloin. Have a sirloin steak cut two and one half inches thick and from heavy beef. Remove the bone, flank-end and superfluous fat; wipe carefully, and place in a hot, well-oiled broiler. Cook three or four minutt* over and close to a bed of coals, turning the broiler every ten seconds; after four minutes lift the broiler farther from the coals, and turn as before for about ten min utes. Before broiling the steak, have ready (to serve four) about six pota toes cooked In boiling salted water, drained, mashed and seasoned with salt, butter and hot milk, and beaten until very light. Pipe the potatoe on to the edge of a hard wood plank made hot In the oven; brush over the potato with the yolk of an egg beaten and mixed with one tablespoonful of milk, and set the plank In a hot oven, to brown the edges of the potato. Have ready also a bunch of asparagus cooked and seasoned, and about one and one half cupfuls of cooked vege tables—string beans, peas, flageolet (dried) and carrot (cut in bits)— mixed and seasoned. Have also six rings cut from slices of cooked car rot. Have ready also a can of mush rooms—a part made hot in hot water, and the rest added to one cupful of brown sauce. When all are hot and the steak is cooked, put the steak in the center of the hot plank, the mush rooms at one end, the mixed vegeta bles at the other, and the asparagus In the carrot rings above.
