Roulette-Wheel.
This is the one place in the United
States where it is Fourth of July the
year round. That in, that the acine of
lioisterous fun seems to be on all the
time. You can hear the rumble of the
multitude as you approach the city
where miles nwav in the conversation
of those bound cityward or returning
from the most memorable event of their
sight-.-eeing in a visit to the great city.
Here the feats of the world's greatest
performers are of every-.lav occurrence,
in endless succession, and everybody
seeuis to arrive with a smile of antici
pation and return with an expression of
contentment and satisfaction. To visit
New York and not see Coney Island, is
to eat dumpling without the sauce, or
drink a cocktail without the top-sheaf
farewell of the cherry.
The first object sighted in approach,
miles away, is "Jumbo," an immense el
ephant, standing isolated on a plain. Oil
near approach, however, it assumes gi
gantic proportion?, and on inspection it
lurns out to be a large restaurant, en
tered by a winding stairway in the trunk
by which curiously-inclined visitors as
cend to get a square meal.
That's the way it seemed when visited
by the writer quarter of a century ago,
and from the record it seems to have
not only kept up its gait but made a
progress that corresponds with the
geometrical progression of the leading
city and State.
Coney Island is now at the top crest
of the greatest year ever enjoyed by
any pleasure park since the days of
old, when ancient Greeks turned to
groves of trees for their relaxation
from the city's life and thus started
the fad.
This handful of sand fashioned into
an island, and by a fortunate accident
placed only half an hour from the big
gest city of the new world, has never
experienced such a summer as the
present.
One million rides at 10 cents per day
is the average of the patronage that
has rewarded the most. Ingenious de
vices for the pleasure of amusement
hunters that man has ever yet thought
out.
The chute the chute, the toboggan,
the tickler, the trip to the moon, mer
ry-go-round, human toboggan, ride on
the camel and all the other hundreds
of curious devices have drawn as nev
er before. Boats and cars have car
ried unending processions of thous
ands to this wonderful place of fun,
with its mile after mile of peerless
beach, its strange medley of queer hu
man activities, its astonishing min
gling of noise, laughter, song and folly.
"Coney has hit its high spot this
year," to put it In the language that is
the vogue on the island.
And Coney's high spot Is something
to comment on. for the island has had
a wonderful career. In a way the
great success of this year is the re
ward of virtue, for the steady effort
of the last few years to do away with
all that was questionable, and permit
only on the island the cleanest of fun,
has converted Coney Into a place
where little offends, and the enterprise
of private capital Is so well pleased
with the result that the place will nev
er be permitted to fall back again.
Coney is the place for the production
of a thousand novel sensations. It is
a virtual enchanted land, where the
only things that keep the visitor in
touch with the practical life he has left
is the boundless supply of eatables and
drinkables.
The cloud piercing towers, the sea
braving piers, the countless shifting
throng, dazzling in its holiday attire,
might take a man from the world he
has known were it not for the fre
quent announcement from countless
venders that frankfurters, popcorn, taf
fy, oyster, clams, candy, lemonade and
Ice cold soft drinks were never so good
or frequent.
Trolley cars, railroad trains, steam
boats, launches, carriages and automo
biles take their freight of pleasure
hunters to Coney. The day has pass
ed when the island is the pleasure
point for the poor alone. The rich go
out for a frolic, and the husband whom
business keeps in the city while his
family hibernates at shore or moun
tains takes his night runs out to Con
ey. and in many cases has a better
time than the wife and family far
away.
The night scene in itself is enough
to attract the crowd. All that the
amazing genius of the power of elec
tricity can do to make the place look
different from anything on the terres
tial ball has been accomplished. In
brilliant lines of flame the towers and
buildings are dotted out against the
blue of the sky.
The man who would make a round
of the sensation producers has arrang
ed an exciting evening for himself. He
will need to have his nerves and heart
in fine shape, for there are more hair
"Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall "Where they May."
raisers bunched here than ever were
seen together at any one place.
First, the "Ziz," which is a scenic
railway that gallops out to sea and
back, giving the rider some thrilling
jolts and curves over the liosom of the
ocean. Many fair riders emit that fa
mouse Coney Island scream at the
prospect of being suddenly launched
head first into the depths of the water
below.
It is interesting to meet this scream.
It makes the whole journey. It will
be found everywhere, and practiced
by everything feminine that makes the
journey. It is a yell, partly laughter,
partly fright and wholly excitement,
and it makes the night scream from
the first settling of darkness till the
shutters have been put up, and the
heme going crowd has left the island
deserted.
First the "Ziz." Perhaps it has
made the experimenter thirsty with its
dizzy leaps. If so he can take his
choice from dozens of places of liquid
refreshments, and along with his
drink he can have any kind of amuse
ment he wants, for there are all kinds
of cafes, and they vie with each in
getting original companies of musi
cians.
Next it is a ride on the camels,
grave heroes of the days of antiquity,
who, with serious mien, bob along car
rying with perfect Indifference
and daughters of a people undreamed
of in the days when Africa was al
ready an ancient country.
Thousands have paid for the fun of
eetting next to the mysteries of the
Meerschaum Pipe.
The Trip to the Moon, the Kansas
Cyclone, the Johnstown Flood, the
Mirror Maze are all constantly well
patronized, and the Human Toboggan
has also made a huge hit. The pas
sengers on this thrilling ride are tak
en to the top on an automatic stair
case, glv-'n a mat on which to ride,
and a shove to start them and sent on
their way down the slippery incline
head or feet first, according to their
preference. It is a place of scream, of
torn clothing and riotous laughter.
The Tickler was an absolute novel'y
this year, and It "knocked their brai.is
out." It is the most amusing, surpris
ing and disconcerting of all the spec
ialties. The passengers sit In tubs,
which are mounted on casters, and In
their descent of a high incline, bob.
roll, twist and do everything calculat
ed to make excitement.
This years seems to have given Con
ey the last word In excitement, but al
ready alert amusement men are work
ing on next year's schemes, and prom
ising to make them "better than ever."
More animals. Bostock is here. He
has a host of thrilling, blood curdling
acts with lions, tigers, etc., and these
never fail of their liberal patronage.
There are also snake charmers, with
out which no such place would ever
dare operate, but it is not the old-fash
ioned serpent tamer of the old days
who works here. Everything must be
novel and these snakes are made to
do a host of things that would have
been beyond the prowess of their pred
ecessors of a decade ago.
Then comes the airship, one of the
most loved of Coney's stunts because it
gives the public a chance to experience
for a few seconds that Joy which is the
ambition of man, to go through the
air, to Jeer at those cobwebby laws of
specific gravity, and burst into a skill
ed imitation of a bird.
The rustic box office of the Great Di
vide makes a terrific appeal to the vis
itor, too. It used to be that the Bcen
ic railway man was content to give
his patrons a ride. That has satisfied
them. But no longer would anything
so primitive do. Now there must be
a Switzerland, with chalets, frozen tor
rents, the alpen glow, scenes from the
Spanish war, street scenes from old
Madrid, a ride through the Dragon's
Gorge, a dash with Peary through the
Arctic regions, a dip to the bottom of
the sea, and in extreme cases the
pleasure is afTorded of a whirling
flight through Hell. This latter spec
tacle Is ferocious enough to make the
most hardened offender wish to turn
over a new leaf, and start life anew
under better auspices.
Yearly the tunnels are getting long
er, and there are some fierce grapples
taking place in those dark intervals
where Cupid has a chance to get In his
finest work. Therein is shown the
difference between the regular visitor
to Coney Island and the transient. The
formers shows Just when to return to
return to propriety, but the green
horn often miscalculates the time, and
comes out into the blinding light hav
ing a death clutch on the person of his
girl, while his face Is fairly fastened
to hers. But, of course, this faux pas
adds to the fun of the others.
The Loop-the-Loop continues to hold
its charm, and many persons still re
main loyal to Jackman's Flyer, which
Is said to be the swiftest ride on the
Island. This summer has seen an Im
mense popularity for the Human Rou
lette Wheel, also for the Rolling Balls,
which Is somewhat similar in charac
ter.
THE total value of telegraph and
telephone poles used in this countiy
during 1908 was $8,471,171.
IT takes a widow to take the crimp
out of Cupid's curls.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29, 1909.
Unless the food placed before a pa
tient is nicely cooked, it is no use to
offer It. The great national nurse.
Miss Nightingale, once mentioned four
things which she said would cause a
patient slowly to starve to death from
want of nutrition. These four things
I remember, and shall, no doubt, re
member all my life, so great an Im
pression did they make upon me. They
were: 1. Badly-cooked food. 2. The
wrong kind of food. 3. Food given
at the wrong hours. 4. Want of ap
petite. This last cause is generally
the result of the first. Food is needed
for three purposes: To repair waste
and to make heat and energy.
To do these things, food must con
tain five elements: Water, albumen,
fat. starch or sugar, and salts, and un
less these five are present the body is
not properly nourished. For this rea
son. oatmeal gruel made with milk Is,
perhaps, the best of foods for a sick
person. It Is very easily digested—
another very important item to be con
sidered. Made from the following re
cipe, it Is very nice: Take two heap
ed tablespoonsful of coarse oatmeal,
mix well with a pint of milk, strain
through a coarse strainer into a sauce
pan, place on the fire, stir frequently
till thick, and then boil for ten or 15
minutes, stirring It often. Put salt or
sugar to taste, and. if desired, a very
little nutmeg. The gruel can be made
thick or thin.
When mother was so 111 last time, I
used to make her some delicious beef
tea. There were two favorite recipes
which I always followed, first No. 1,
then No. 5. These are given below. So
great was my success in making this a
tasty meal that I became quite noted
for It, and for a long, long time was
kown to my friends as "Beef Tea." or
"The One and Five." To make No. 1,
I took one pound of juicy beef, weigh
ed without fat or skin. mincetf it very
fine, placed it in a jar, poured on it
one pint of water, stirred it up, and let
It stand for an hour. After this I
closely covered the jar, placed it in a
saucepan of cold water, and brought
this to a boll, and let it boll gently
round the jar for an hour, added salt
to taste, then strained off the beef tea
through a coarse sieve or strainer.
When I served up the beef tea I was
always careful to stir It up well first,
so as to get all the sediment, as there
was a great deal of goodness in this:
and I never warmed up at one time
more than I thought mother would
take, because, like all invalids, if a
great deal of food was placed before
her. one look was enough; she turned
against It, and refused to touch it.
Sometimes in preparing the tea. I plac
ed the jar for an hour or two In a mod
erately hot oven, or all night in a slow
oven, instead of in the pan of water.
Either way was equally good.
The noted "No. 5" was made much
more quickly. and Ig the recipe I gen
erally used. I took one pound of fresh
lean beef, minced It finely, put It Into
a saucepan with one pint of cold wa
ter (or less. If wanted very strong),
and a pinch of salt. This I let stand
for five or ten minutes, then placed it
on a slow fire or gas stove, and let It
come gradually to almost boiling
point; then draw It aside and let it
slightly simmer for ten minutes, keep
ing it well stirred. I then took a cup
ful off, removed the fat from the top
of it with blotting paper, and carried
it up to the patient. The rest of the
beef tea was left for an hour to stand,
but wag not allowed to boil, for if It
boiled mogt of the nourishing matter
of the beef would be lost, and add
another example to the many which
prove that.
However, though beef tea Is of much
use as a stimulant, it is but little use
as a food. It stands In relation to the
body much In the way that a poker
does to a fire. It rouges and brightens
up the patient, but must be followed
by something further —some stronger
ifood to strengthen, some fuel to sup
port the flickering flame.
The fuel needed for the body Is milk.
This may be taken either boiled or
raw, in the form of gruel. In the for
mer state it Is more digestible, but if
preferred raw it can be made equally
easy of digestion if to it be added a
little soda water, potash water, or lime
water.
The colored boy was up In the Child
ren's Court for the fifth time on charg
es of chicken stealing. This time the
magistrate decided to appeal to the
boy's father, says the Woman's Home
Companion.
"Now see here, Abe," said he to the
old darkey, "this boy of yours has been
up In court so many times for stealing
chickens that I'm getting sick of see
ing him here."
"Ah don't blame you, Bah," returned
the father. "Ah's sick ob seeln' 'im
hyah, too!"
"Then why don't you teach him how
to act? Show him the right way, and
he won't be coming here."
"Ah has showed Mm the right way,

"Ah has suttenly showed 'lm de right
way, but he somehow keep gittln'

HOW IT FEELS TO FLY.
Human flight is a new physical and
mental experience, and its sensations
nnd emotions are so unlike or are so
much more intense than what is felt
on the earth's surface that going up
in an airship for any length of time is
really living In another world. We have
all been so busy trying to fly and try
ing to imagine what effect flight will
have upon life upon the earth, that we
have failed to record the effects of
flight on those who fly."
Captain Thomas W. Baldwin, whose
dirigible balloon has been purchased
by the United States government for
military purposes, pronounces this
opinion of the sensations of flying.
Captain Baldwin has spent more than
twenty years on the problem of aerial
navigation, and during that period has
made a hundred ascensions and voy
ages in the air.
"The first experience of flight," Cup
tain Baldwin continued, "is the most
wracking menial and physical tension.
Indeed, going Into battle, facing a
storm at sea, or struggling with a
flre does not equal it for trying the
nerves. There are, of course, situations
of suspense when the element of fear
will more unman one than that felt
during the first moments of flight by
a beginner; but nowhere else is such
intense alertness demanded, and no
where else does oru> seem so helpless
against a fatal accident. This feeling
will be shared by every one on his first
voyage in an airship.
"But the reaction of the nerves of
the aeronaut when he preceives that
his iiiuhine is working and that he
is not only actually flying, but t-or.-
trolling his own flight, is simply in
describable. Some of us know what
the feeling of mastery is in driving
an automobile seventy-five miles per
hour on a smooth, clear road, or what
it is to drive a locomotive engine at a
like speed. Multiply this feeling by
a hundredfold and one may get a faint
conception of what the guiding and
driving of an air-car through space
means. The sense of physical, mechan
ical and mental mastery over one's
machine, over one's environments, and
over one's self is s> complete, so buoy
ant, exhilerating, exalted, that one
feels more fearless than he ever did
with his feet on the firm earth. lu
tle» • on* t>: in another and a higher
world mentally as well ns physically.
One feels that a great weight has been
lifted from his shoulders. His Ixtdy
is stronger, his mind is infinitely clear
er. He sees himself riding upon a sun
beam or a starbeam; there flashes
actos" his vision the snowflake or the
raindrop in its helpless fall; by him
passes the cloud at the mercy of the
wind, and on the crest of the storm he
walks as a god upon the waters."—

Mark Twain on Temperance.
"Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain last summer." said a W. C. T.
IT. woman, "I asked his opinion of the
prohibition law. His reply was very
characteristic, very humorous.
" 'I am a friend of temperance and
want it to succeeed.' he said, "but I
don't think prohibition is practical.
The Germans, you see, prevent it.
at them. lam sorry to learn that they
have just Invented a method of mak
ing brandy out of sawdust. Now what
chance will prohibition have when a
man can take a rip saw and go out
and get drunk with a rail?
What is the good of prohibition if a
man is able to make brandy smashes
out of the shingles on his roof, or if
he can get delirium tremens by drink
ing the legs off the kitchen chairs?'"
How to Tell Fresh Ett*.
At this season of the year, when
("litis are so popular an article of food,
it is well to know how to test an
egg to determine whether the state
ment, " strictly fresh' may l>e de
pended upon. A writer in' What t»
Kut gives some general suggestions
on the subject that art? worth Inur
ing in mind. Hs says that a new
laid egg placed in a vessel of brine,
made in the proportion of two ounces
of salt to one pint of water, will at
once sink to the bottom. An egg
one day old will sink below the sur
face, but not to the bottom, while
one three days old will swim just im
mersed in the liquid. If more than
three days old the egg will float on
the surface, the amount of the shell
exposed increasing with age. If two
weeks.old, only a little of the shell
will dip in the liquid. A pail of any
kind of water, however, affords a
convenient medium of testing eggs.
A real fresh egg will sink; one that
is not so fresh will topple around, ap
parently standing on its end; one
that is spoiled will float. The shell
of a fresh egg looks dull and poms,
while that of an old egg ap|>cars
thin and shiny. When shaken, a
stale egg will rattle in the shell.

BILLY SUNDAY ENDORSED
Jimmy Durkip or Sp ikane, the sa
loonkeeper who made an independent
and sen -.V.ional campaign for gover
nor at the recent election, has endors
ed Billy Sunday, the baseball evange
list. Durkin declares that Sunday is
"the goods—and all wool." The saloon
ist who invited Spokane ministers to
place snakes in his saloon window as
a warning to the bibulous (which they
did) is entranced with Sunday's Eng
lish. Following is a specimen of how
the baseball evangelist gives a unique
translation of the bible story of David
and Goli.tth:
' Billy" Sunday, in telling the story
of David and Goliath, made a big hit.
Here it is:
"And so David's pa comes up to
him where lie was working in the field
and says: 'Dave, better go up to the
house, your ma's anxious about the
other boys fighting in the army, hasn't
heard from them by phone or anything
and she d like you should look them
up.' So Dave hops on a trolley and
hikes to the front and stays there with
his brothers over night.
In the morning old Goliath conns
out in front of the Philistines and
dares the Israelites to fight him. Who's
that big stiff making all the big talk
out there?" asks Dave.
Way, that's the head cheese, the
big noise." says his brothers.
Why don't some one soak him one?
asks Dave.
'"We've all got cold feet,' says the
Israelites.
fellows make me tired," says
Dave, and he pikes out to the brook,
gets four pebbles in his shepherds
sack, slams one at Goliath and soaks
him in the coco between the Tamps.
Goliath goes to the mat. takes the
count, and Dave pokes Idm in the slats
chops off his block and the whole Phil
istine gang skidooed.'
The exhortation of Sunday is cer
tainly unique, but is it of the sort
to give to the young men who go to
hear the sensational revivalist? "The
head cheese." "The big noise."'
"Soak him in the coco." "Chops off
his block." Isn't that a bit worse
than pigeon English? Some minis
ters say it doesn't matter so long
as Sunday gets results. But what kind
of results would he get In the employ
ment of such slang.

WHY SOME PEOPLE CO TO CHURCH
Some people go to church just for a walk
Some to stare, to laugh, to talk;
Some go there to meet a friend ;
Some their idle time to spend ;
Some for general observation ;
Some for private speculation ;
Some to seek or find a lover;
Some a courtship to discover;
Some |,o there to use their eyes,
And newest fashions criticise;
Some to show their own smart dress.
Some their neighbors to assess;
Some to scan a robe or bonnet;
Some to price the trimming on it;
Some to learn the latest news,
lhat friends at home they ni.iy amuse
Some to gossip false and "true,"
Safe hid within the tamiiv pew;
Some the Skypilot go to lawn ;
Some to lounge and some to yawn ;
Some because it's thought genteel;
Some to vaunt their pious zeal;
Some to show how sweet they sing;
Some how loud their voices ring;
Some the preacher go to hear,
His style or voice to praise or jeer;
Some forgiveness to implore:
Some their sins to varnish o'er;
Some to sit and done and nod ;
But few to kneel and worship God.

THE ONLY ONE.
Mr. Blank had advertised for a chaf
feur and he passed over a dozen appli
cations until he came to one whose gen
eral appearane seemed to fill the bill,
and then said to him:
"Sir, I want a man different from the
ordinary chaffeur."
"Yes, sir. I thought from the read
ing your advertisement that you did.
I am different."
"In what respect?"
"If you have a wife I shall not flirt
with her.
"If you have a daughter I shall not
cajole her into eloping with me.
"If your wife tries to find out
through me where you go certain
nights I shall be mum.
"If any dudes ask nie how much
money you are going to give your
daughter when she marries I shall tell
him to go to.
"I shall not come to your house to
court the parlor maid.
"Should I be out In the auto alone,
and a son of a gun should want to race
me. I shall decline.
"I am a first class liar regarding
speed when arrested by the police.
"I never give things away to the
newspapers.
"If divorce proceedings are instituted
I go on the stand for you.

What Protection Means.
A complete definition of protec
tion can lie given in a very few words.
It is a device by which the taxing
power of government is handed over
to one class of the citizens to be ex
ercised foritsown benefit against all
other classes. In every case where
the producer or manufacturer of any
article is enabled by a prohibitive
tariff to command a price beyond
that which would bo obtainable
where the laws of supply and demand
in unobstructed operation, to that
extent the purchaser is defrauded.
The extra profit accruing to the pro
ducer is paid by the consumer.
There is nobody else to pay it. Five
sixths of the people are placed under
duress by the law that the other
sixth may plunderthem. Whenever
the duty becomes protective the gov
ernment abdicates all claim to rev
enue and abandons to the small pro
tected element the privilege of as
sessing. collecting and appropriat
ing to its own use the pretended tax.
The boasted home market is main
tained by presenting the stalls' rent
free to a handful of greedy hucksters
and conferring on them governmen
tal authority to take toll at will
from the general public
One of the chief provocations which
led to the chopping off of the head of
Charles First was his persistence in
granting to Buckingham and other
favorites among the spendthrift no
bility patents of monopoly in coal,
salt and the like necessities of life,
with license to impose excise taxes
on those articles. The system did
not differ in any essence of morality
or legality from that which the
Dingley act created and maintains.
There is the same compulsory devo
tion of the property of one man to the
enrichment of another.
Remember this: No American
gets an extra dollar for a steel rail
or a yard of shoddy-cloth by reason
of the tariff that he does not take it
from the pocket of some other Amer
ican who had the better title and
the more need. LITE F. VEKNON
'"PA," said little Bobby, 1 ' who had
been allowed to sit up a little while
after supper, with the understanding
that he was to ask no foolish ques
tions, "can God do everything?"
"Yes." "Can he make a two-foot
rule with only one end to it?" "One
more question like that," said his
father, "and you will lie packed off
to bed." Hobby was silent for a few
moments and then asked: "Pa, can
a camel go ten days without water?"
"Yes, my son." "Well, how many
days could he go if he had water?''
The next thing 1 lobby knew he was in
bed.
