INGENUITY IN STREET KITCHENS.

Outdoor Cooking Arrangements in Ssn Frsnoisoo. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Mother Necessity was never busier than now. Inventions were never so numerous; ingenuity ns never so profitably exercised. The people have settled down to street living ns a matter of course and the pater sits calmly on a soap box against the curb, beside a pot of stew, holding; a wooden poker In one hand, a newspaper In ths other and a ple In his mouth, with nn little concern as he formerly planted his heels under the dining room table and read the headlines to the family.

The mater conies to the door twice every five minutes to ask If the coffee's boiling what sho really wants Is a line on dad's capability as a teakettle fireman and the kids, meanwhile, are either out hustling wood or Just hanaln' on, wondering If there will be enough to go 'round, and there always Is. Under present conditions It Is nnt-ural that some families should be more comfortable than others in their arrangements, for curbstone housekeeping; but this time the poorer classes win. The laboring man has 100 practical Ideas stored In his brain, where man ho hasn't seen a kitchen since he was a boy la absolutely helpless. Thus It la that the Btreet kitchens range from two piles of bricks, open at both ends and uncovered, with a five gallon oil can shoved In between, to a modern summer kitchen, containing a mortarej brick furnace, with a long stovepipe to carry off the smoke and soot; Its walls lined with cooking utensils end dishes, and Just to show the nature of the Inhabitants, Its roof surmounted by a flng-pole. flaunting Old Olory.

When the order first went forth prohibiting indoor fires, many had It figured that the Inconvenience would last for a couple of days only, and made no special efforts to cook outside, a loaf of bread and a pot of coffee being considered a sufficient menu for the restricted season. But the wise ones got busy with fallen chimney and built miniature furnaces, aomettmes three or four feet In hlght. Over these they spread their oven grates, which served equally well for boiling coffee, steeping tea, frying eggs and meat -or cooking atews. Then came the stiff winds, which blew ashea and clndera Into the open utenslla. Ths spirit of the wise man rebelled against the grimy Invasion.

Wind breaks were required. The nearest and easiest wty to obtain them wag from tha bill boards which enclosed practically every vacant lot In the city. Only an example waa required- The attack upon the Inanimate exploiters of public amusements became general. By the time the neighbors had dulled their axea there wa nothing left of ths bill boards but Varney ft Green" offer of i 50 reward for the arrest of any person caught mutilating them. The result was that when the day dawned on the Saturday following; tht disaster a majority of the street kitchens were well sheltered from the wind and rain, and many were completely boxed, curtains, canvas, tar paper and other adequate material being used to cover the wooden frames.

One energetic builder on Pierce Btreet managed to tear down a whole section of billboard, on which every show In town at the time of the disaster was advertised. He made two rooms, one aa a kitchen and the other aa a banquet hall. The front wall of the kitchen exploit "Danger of Working Olrla" and the three other Bids proclaim respectively. "Babes In Toy-land," "The Show Olrl" and "Cherry Blossoms," while the celling Impertinently Inquire "Are Ton a Mason?" The billboards have disappeared. Owners of houses- tore their shuttPrs from the windows and converted them Into tall wind breaks, using; burlnp and carpets for ceilings.

It then occur; ti to uwr.y that ther a cast- THEY PUT UP A JOB ON 8NITZ. Early Day Jokr In Atohison Laughad Saloon Keeper Out ef Tswn. From th Atchlnon Globe. A good msny years ago German named Herman Bnlti kept a saloon on Fourth Btreet. Charley Lsyng and W.

C. McPlk used to go In there occasionally tn the morning to get a glass ef beer and a bite of lunch. They entered from the rear of the old McPlk ft Fox drug store, then located ri the eouth side of Commercial street, below Fourth. On their way Into the place one morning they found an old cistern on Suits' premises. This rls-tsrn waa uncovered and Mr.

McPIke suggested to Snlti that he cover the cistern or someone would full Into It. Snlta put boards over It, but the next morning when Layng snd MrPlke went Into Knits place they kicked the boards off ths top of the cistern and again complained to Snlts. This they kept up several weeks, snd greatly en-Joyed Bnlti'a confusion. They told Snlts thst people wer talking about his carelessness and Bnlts said he waa being driven crasy over that rlHtern; he aald he spent half of his time putting boards over the mouth of the cistern, but these were kicked off every morning by hayng snd MrPike. The Jokers finally had a straw man made In the McPIke ft Fox warehouse, nd this was thrown Into the cistern secretly.

Then Layng and McPIke went Into the beer aaloon and again complained of the dangerous condition of the cistern. Snltx followed them out saying he was doing his best. "It would be easy for a man to fall In." Layng said. By this time the three stood beside the cistern. "Good heavens," said McPIke, "ther Is a man In there now!" Orent excitement.

In two minute the alley wan full of people. BMt wanted to pull the man out, but Layng said: "Do nothing until A. D. McConaughy, the coroner, conies." Th coroner arrived and selected a Jury from the crowd. Then the man wa drnwn to the surface snd his tru char, acter discovered.

Layng and MaPlk at the time the body wa drawn to th surface, were at Harmony Garden, laughing. Stilts was so annoyed over the affair that he aold his plac and left town. IDEAL BEAUTY IN BRIDE-TO-BE. Much, th Poster Pslntsr, Will Wsd a Woman Who Is Bssutiful and Learned, From the New Tork American. Alphonse Mucha, who ha so successfully painted th Ideal woman, and who seemed to be able to picture her very bouI on canvas, announced Wed-nesday at his atudlo, 15 East Fifty-ninth atreet, that he has found the living reality.

And happy to relate the artist and his newfound model of beauty and loveliness are to be married In June In a little church In the woods outside the walls of Prague. Maruska Chytilova Is the real Ideal of the artist of poster fame, whose picture of Sarah Bernhardt startled the artistic world a few years ago. Maruska Is not like any of the pictures Mucha has ever painted. She does not full In with any of his preconceived Ideals, but he Is artist enough to ap preciate one more beautiful than his' mind has ever seen before, and so was quick to accept the new Inspiration. The romance of Mucha and Mile.

Chytilova dates back some two years. The former's studio Is one of the moBt famous In Paris. He Is the originator of the so-called poster school of painting. After he startled and won the artis tic world, hla atelier became the haunt of the art -seeker and the show placu of the Quarter. It was frequented by the great artists, and critics of In i world and the nobility, and groat women of many lands were proud to have entree to It It was reported many times that Mucha was engaged to some duchess or countess or other women of worldwide renown.

One day, however, Maruska Chytilova was brought to his atudlo. She was the daughter of a noted lawyer of Prague, and she herself had gone through the university there, a distinction that only few women In the world possess. Eh wa dark, with great eye and a wonderfully Intelligent face, and she loved Mucha's art, and later himself. Boon after they met, th artist moved hla atudlo to thla country, and those who thought they had seen the budding of a romance believed It doomed to be blighted. In reality the artist considered that America was a better plac for him to mak a home for his bride, and he wished to establish himself before the sngag-ement wa announced.

In the short time has been her Mucha ha mad frequent trips to Europe to see hi sweetheart either In Paris or Prague, Th final trip alone will begin on Saturday, and on his return In October hi brld wtU with him.
