A baked preen banana favor* -tottie

The breadfruit. In my estimation,
appeals more strongly to a ""He

food. The large, mealy balls ar.- imk

part of what we call "elephant ear In
the Untied States and Is somewhat
like a yam. but Inclined to be stingy
or shreddy. The Inside of a baked faro
bulb Is very solid and of a bluish tint.
The fish needs no explanation.
Pork is the supreme delicacy, accord

1 well remember the Orst and only
Samoan feast I ever had the fleas ,

REFUSED TO OBEY.
Major Butler Carried Hi* Obstinacy
Right Into Hia Coffin.
Many amusing stories arc told of
the great formality blended with a
humorous brnsqucnoss and Indppend
pnee which characterised early Rem
lutlonary days. An Incident of ramp
life Is related by the author of "Ro
mance and Realism of the Sonthern
: Gulf Coast."
In 1 71*8 the first Cnlted State*
rroopa that came down the Mississippi
were quartered at Fort Adams. 0?n
>ral Wilkinson. Colonel namframck.
Major Rutler. Captain Orwti and oth
*r officers were merry orer thetr
punch one night. and the general by
?wme accident got hie cue homed off.
Angry nt tbe laugh which followed bta
mishap, he next day Issued an order
forbidding any officer to appear with
a cue. Obedient to orders, all tbe offl
cers but Major Rutler cut off their
cues.
"The vain old prtgr said tbe major.
"I'll see him hanged before I cot off
my cue to gratify hire!" And he bold
ly appeared without changing tbe style
of his halt-dressing.
The major was put under arrest, bnt
he declared obstinately that he would
spend the rest of his life In prison be
fore he would comply with such a silly
command. Soon afterward he was
taken very 111. and. renlltlng that he
was nt the point of death, h? g*re In
st ructions for bis burial, which be
knew would !*> witnessed by tbe whole
command.
"Rone n hole." said he. "through the '
bottom of my coffin, rlgtit under my j
head, and let my cue com? through It
that the old general may see that eren
when (lend I refuse to obey his order."
And these directions were literally
carried out.
