To a Reformed Man.
Cincinnati SATURDAY Might.


A Reformed Man" writes to us
complaining because people don't
patronize him more than they DO. He
thinks ne isn't encouraged by his fel-
bowman as ne ought To he. He was
led to suppose that if he gave up in
temperate habits, the community
would flock around him, a. it were.
and rally to his support. but they
haven't done it. lie hasn't noticed
that the community acts much differ
ent from what il did before he reform
ed. 1t is discouraging, he says. and
almost enough to turn man back to
evil courses again.
Well. what did you reform for !?
Was it for your own moral and physi-
cal GO ld, or was it to he rewarded by
a grateful and generous community:
Hasn't your investment in reformation
paid large interest in clearer brain,
improved health aud increased self:re-
spect. and should not that be sufficient?
Community is under no particular OBJ
legation to you. If you formerly made
a nuisance of yourself by your intem-
perance, and you doubtless did, it is a
relief that you have discontinued it.
that is all. No one thinks of taking
up collection tn present TO you as a
reward of merit. You may consider
yourself fortunate if the public consent
to allow the mantle of forgetfulness to
cover your past misdeeds. 1t is as alb
surd to imagine that your neighbors
are obligated to paironize YOU because
you have abandoned vicious life, as
it is to say the world owes you a living.
There are poor, struggling men who
never went astray, vet you don't hear
them urging any particular claim up
on the public Oh that account, and it
might be more reasonable than yours,
too.
Don't let these plain words discour-
age you. though. You are q gamer
in every way ifyou have really reform.
ed, and you know it. Reformation,
like virtue is its own reward.

HE PLAYED BEAR.
A Young Man Tries to Scare Two
Rivals in Love, but Fails.

The presence of a big black bear in
the neighborhood Of Butler. Georgia,
recently, has given occasion for several
local scares and a number Of news
paper articles. Miss Mary L. Groat.
a young woman who lives in that
vicinity, near Reynolds, decided few
days ago to make use of the bear in
order that she might test the courage
and devotion of two rivals for her
hand. She planned that her brother.
disguised in a buffalo robe, should
appear suddenly in a certain grove
during twilight that evening
and that both lovers should
he with her at the time. The young
men were glad of the opportunity to he
with Miss Groat. neither suspecting
that they were to pass through the
crucihle and come out either refined
gold Or 1906 metal. Sammy Groat,
the bear, was delighted with the
scheme, feeling that he could roar "as
gently as a sucking dove" or as
thunderously as cyclone in the wild
west. When the sister saw the dis
guised brother poke the hears head
over some bushes she screamed and
pointed toward the object. Both lovers
looked and saw the masquerading
youth. To Miss Greats surprise.
however. each made for the animal
and the discharge of three or four shots
added TO the surprise. The bear took
TO his heels and the young woman
franticallv appealed to her lovers not
to shoot. Sammy got home without a
scratch and shortly afterwards the
romantic girl. with an admirer at each
hand also returned, all considerably
excited by the incident.

Some time ago We noticed with
some regret newspaper Geographic
dispatch from Council Bluffs which
referred to a very eloquent and i'm.
pressive speech delivered BY US at
that place. and it has worried US con.
siderably ever since. The reference
to frequent applause, more especial,

There are other inaccuracies i'm the
press report referred to. and We de.

In the first place, we did not speak

Another point to which We desire
to call attention is the drift Of our re-

No allusion was made to the fact that

watermelon habit would soon make
us a nation of Baptisrs.
All these statements we are pre-

necessary.
We did not attack the great nation

To most people the General Pope
who kept his "headquarters in the

war, is the only General Pope. Never.
theless. there is another ex-army
officer Of this name who is esteemed
by the people of Quincy, California,
as a worthy veteran and most ex-
celient citizen. This General Pope, of
California, immigrated into the state
from CharleslOwn. Mass about thirty
years ago, leaving in his town Of ma

he was betrotned. His plans EN-
braced the purpose of obtaining riches
and the understanding that in few

with tine story that Pope had married
San Francisco maiden. The girl
gathered up her keepsakes and sent
them back to Pope without a word.
The latter wrote repeatedly and as he
received no reply he rallied at al

Many times General Pope heard from
CharlestOwn. but he never mentioned
his girls name nor asked if she had
married. That she had not done, for
the rascal of the romance married
some less lucky lass. A few weeks

A Little Baby's Biz Adventure

The beautiful little girl of Conductor
W K, Ward, now about eighteen months
of age, was playing in the yard at his
new residence in Waycross, Ga, where
a welfhad just been dug but not curbed
at the top, as is usual, but had a lot of
planks put over it, which the little child
managed by some means to move and
in so doing fell in the well, there being
quantity of water in the bottom, The
great mystery is why the child was not
drowned. Mrs, Ward, hearing its
screams, ran to the well but to behold
her darling little one sink out Of her
sight with her head downwards. She
at once gave the alarm, when Mr.. w.
Murrow went with great haste to her
assistance, and in removing the cover
so that he could descend, dropped sew
eral short pieces of scantling in the
water, which possibly caused the child
to rise once more to the surface, when
he grabbed hold of one of its little feet
and brought it out. After short while
it was reSusctated, $500 WoycroSS Reporter.

Effects of Heat Vpon Meat,

A well-cooked piece of meat should
be full of its own gravy. In roasting,
therefore, it should be exposed to
quick fire, that the external surface may
be made to contract ut once, and the
albumen to coagulate before the Juice
has had time to escape from within.
The same observations applyto boiling;
when piece of beef or mutton is
plunged into boiling water, the outer
part contracts, the albumen which is
near the surface coagulates, and the in
temal juice is prevented either from es-
Gaping into the water by which it is sur
rounded, or from being diluted orweak-
ened by the admission of water among
it. When cut up, therefore, the meat
yields much gravy and is rich in flavor.
Hence. beefsteak or mutton-chop is
done quickly, and over a quick fire, that
the natural juices may be retained. On
the other hand, If the meat be done over
a slow fire, its pores remain open, the
juice continues to flow from within as IL
has dried from the surface, and the flesh
pines and becomes dry, hard and UNI
savory. Or, If it be put in cold. tepid
water, which is afterward brought to u
boil, much Of the albumen Is extracted
before it coagulatcs the natural juices,
for the most part, flow out, aud the
meat served is in nearly tasteless state.
Hence, to prepare good boiled meat, it
should ut once be put into water already
brought to boil. But to make beef tea,
mutton broth and other meat soups the
flesh should be put into cold water, and
this afterward very slowly warmed. and
finally boiled. The advantage derived
from simmcring--a term not unfrequent
in cookery books--depends very much
upon the effects of slow boiling, as above
explained.
