thought there was something to eat in the
liyer-pad, cause they all went into it, and
they craWled around in the bran and con-
dition powders inside of it, and took it
back to pa, and he put it under his shirt

When we sat down pa couldn't keep still,
and like to died when saw some of the
ants come out Of his shirt bosom and go
racing around his white vest. Pa tried to

'Cut the watermelon in four halves-77
''But there amt only two halves to any

"Well, don't have to; anyhow, that's
what the sereet says. Then soak it in Il

''Oh, dear me! How in the world can
you put watermelon in a pint cup?"
"Well, | amt here to tell you the
wheresses and howfores. I'm just reading
the facts and you can put in the filosofee
to suit your taste. After soaking the
melon put in a skillet and fry it fur five
days."
II wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such
q recipe as that?" said the old lady; but
jake kept on:
'"rhen put the watermelon in a quart
bowl and pour over it a gallon Of vinegar,
taking care to not spill the vinegar"
"Id just like to know how you can pour
a gallon into quart bowl without spiling
any of it;'' but Jakie continued:
'"TEen sift a peck of red pepper through
a milk strainer over the melon, and to one
cup of butter and the white and yolks and
shells of three eggs, and throw in the old
hen that laid them, and four sticks of Gin
namon drops and two tablespoonfuls of
quinine and run it through coffee mill
and let it stand till it frements. and then
put it in tin can and tie the can to dogs
tail-thls will stir it up to the right con-
sistency-and then you can turn it off in
crooks and have it ready for use. Serve it
cold and spread it on mince pie and it
makes capital Dessert" and Jake slid
out Of doors and left the old lady looking
