Entertaining.

It is not hard to have little company
to tea, or to spend the evening, if the
lady of the house knows how to plan the
work and does not crowd too much in
one day.
If the cake is made the day before it
will be fresh enough, and if you are SO
unfortunate as not to be entirely success
full in making or baking, you will have
time to remedy this trouble by trying
again.
If salad is to be part of the supper,
the chicken may be prepared in the
morning. and then late in the afternoon
the dressing may be prepared and salad
mixed.
When it is in the dish and ready for
the table, wet clean cloth in vinegar
and lay over the top; this will keep it
moist, and it will not lose it's flavor by
standing.
If you are to have sandwiches they
may be buttered early and damp cloth
laid over them.
Have the dishes and silver ready, and
put in a convenient place where you can
get them with no delay or trouble oi
tablecloth and napkins laid aside days
before.
Above IL, after having done these
things do not worry; think over all the
times you have been out to tea, and you
will hardly be able to recall a single
time where anything went very badly.
Avoid confusion: if any one is to heir
you, be she servant or friend, let hel
distinctly understand what her duty is tt
| be, SO that you will not interfere with
each other.

Rubbing An Editor.

Soon after the completion of the plank
road between Detroit and Lansing, Pc
riod of twenty seven or. twenty eight
years ago, the editor of a newspaper To-
Gated about halfway between started for
Detroit, one evening, on the wagon of a
teamster. After travelling about an hour
the vehicle was stopped by highway
robber. The teamster shelled out about
twenty dollars, but when the editor
showed up the 'pot" only reached fifty
cents.
you've hidden your money in your
boots z. shouted the robber, and he made
the editor pull them off. No more cash
being found, the robber insisted that the
coat and vest should come off for a
closer search; but at the the end of the
search he demanded angrily:
"What sort of man are you to set
out on a journey with only fifty cents in
yonr pocket?
'sI am getting my ride for nothing, and
was going to pay my expenses in De-
troit by advertising the hotel at which
stop"
'.How much advertising will you give
me to let you Off"
"a straight column per week for four
weeks"
"Well, I'll take it, and the teamster is
witness to our bargain. I'll send il the
copy in time for the next issue. .
The robber presently moved off into
the woods, and as the vehicle once more
rolled over the plank road. the editor
rubbed his hands together and chuckled:
''Egadl but isn't this lift for mel I
found chance to pass off bogus half
dollar, got a splendid item of news for

A Rural Bogberry.

The following is a copy of the sdecis-
ion" rendered by the justice OF Aim
mick, La Sale county, Illinois, before
whom james Kidd was arraigned for q
preliminary examination for an alleged
shooting of William Faust. as published
in the Ottawa Times and Mendoza Bulle-
tin:
Gentlemen of the jury and Gentle
men of the Case: have sat here since
twelve o'clock, listening to the evidence
of our witnesses and the pleadings OF
our attorneys. You all know l have g
mind or I wouldn't have sense enough
to sit here. / am young man twenty
seven years of age, and my mind has
been worked as it never has been before.
[ have just spent six hours closest at
tention. and am somewhat confused, but
not SO much confused but that / can
reprimand this case as stated to me. /
have listened to the expert physicians
and attorneys. In relation to a mans
property in peril we have right of de-
tendance, but my way of defendance
would be to enter complaint and do
away with the pistols. Exercising my
own sound Judgment Mr.. Kidd is proba-
bly, guilty. but to be proven at Ottawa.
Now as to the question of COM
mitting him to Jail or TO give
bonds and let him go to his family is a
question that is weighing my mind. i.
is serious case, and if should put Mr..
Kidd under bonds what bonds should
put him under? Mr.. Seaman says $4,000
or $4,000 bonds. ] wouldn't feel safe to
do that. I would be afraid to walk from
here home tonight, and wouldn't be
able to sleep, and would be dreaming
bad dreams ell night. AS to the Honor
able Mr.. Kidd (reterrIng to his prisoner)
I feel sorry for his family, but when it
comes to law I must exercise my own
sound judgment. IL I put him under
bonds, the least would put him under
would be $50, 1000. To modify will re-
verse my judgment; will put it at $50, :
600. IF I do less, which if the Honor
able Mr.. Kidd can give bail he can go to
his family. Now the question which
weighs my mind is whether l shall take
bonds or commit him to Jail. The stat
ute says Here the squire sat down and
rapidly passed his finger over an open
book, but did not read). As far as am
versed in law I feel it bailable. We may
feel as safe one way or the other. Then
he pondered and closed). I am wiling
to accept $50, 900 ball.

GUS pursuit was undertaken and kept up

Gus pursuit was undertaken and kept up
for several weeks.
Following this robbery, after some
delay, Governor Crittenden invited the
railroad authorities to consultation at
st. Louis. There it was determined to
offer reward of $50, 900 for the appre-
hension, dead or alive, of the robbers.
Hardly had the country time to re-
cover from the shock of the. Winston
robbery, than it was startled by the COM
mission of another. This time the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad Company was
the victim of the band. The affair took
place on the evening of September Z,
1881, at Blue Cut, within mile or two
of Glendale, the scene of the former ex-
plot. The usual tactics were employed,
but failing to get enough from the ex
press company, after having half MUIR
dered Fox, the express messenger, the
passengers were robbed.
Frank James, the elder, is credited
with the better education, more brains,
and thorough acquaintance with hu-
man nature. Jesse was fiercer In tenn
permanent than his brother, and a fend
incarnate when aroused. Seemingly he
killed for the pleasure it gave him, and
to him may all the wanton murders be
attributed that have taken place at their
numerous robberies.
Frank was married in 1875 to Miss
Annie Ralston, whose father resides eight
miles from Kansas City. She is reputed
to have been beautiful and intelligent,
but sentimental girl, who became car
ried away by her romantic temperament
with accounts of the James boys. Ac-
cidentally meeting with Frank, she fell
in love with him, and clandestine mar
riage followed. Jesse was married to his
cousin, Miss Zereido Mimms, in 1874.
At the time she was a public school
teacher in Kansas City. On the occasion
OF one OF Jesse's rare visits to his moth
er's she was summoned there, and the
two were united. Both ladies are repre-
sented to be devoted to their husbands,
who, in turn, were kind and affectionate.

A BURIED FoREsT.-A buried forest
has been found in the Red River valley.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer of the I'd
instant, says Robert J. Purdy, q farmer
living fifteen miles west of that place,
while engaged about three weeks ago in
siLking well upon his farm struck a
subterranean growth of timber. At the
depth of about thirteen feet from the
the surface his work was interrupted by
large and obstinate root which was re-
moved after time of patient toll; but
what surprised him most was, after dig
ging little further, the discovery of the
body of sound ash tree, sixteen inches
In circumference. which he had 10
cut through with an axe. A year ago
Mr.. Purdy sank well about twenty
rods from this spot, and at about the
same depth came upon similar timber.
The discovery of sound timber, thirteen
feet below the surface of the present soil
of the Red River valley ought to enlist
the attention of geologists, from WHOM
the public would be glad to hear an ex
planation.

A BRAVE CHILp-A gentleman living
near Henderson, while ploughing few
days ago, sent ten year old daughter to
the house for his gun, for the purpose of
shooting some rics birds that were in the
field. Returning with the gun the
brave little heorlne was attacked by an
infuriatea bull, but instead OF screaming
and thus urging the beast on as most all
other children would have done, she
stood her ground, and as the beast adj
vanced she let go the contents of both
barrels into his face. The beast seem
ingly in state OF intoxication, ran here,
there and every where in search Of the
child, against fences, trees. ETC., but
climbing the fence hastily she managed
to escape. She ran and told her father
of the incident, who, hearing the report
of the gun, was rushing to her TO ascer-
tain the cause Of the shooting. With the
assistance Of two colored mon the now

was discovered that both his eyes had

Jonadab was dumb Sprouts noticed
with growing terror that the muscles of
his fathers face were WORKING convulsivC
~. His eyes were fixed and glazed. His
lips moved as If trying to form words,
but no syllable did he utter Then the
truth flashed upon Sprouts His father,
in the deadly excitement 81! the moment,
had forgotten his speech. The memory
TINT had served him through the longest
speeches in "TIamlet" now played him
false.
Tags of innumerable speeches crowded
upon the unhappy mans memory. He
felt he must say something, aud the words
that seemed to form themselves upon his
lips and to free his ARTICULATION were
Hamlet's soliloquy on death In another
second he would have commenced "To be
or not to be" when shrill voice coming
from the gallery filed the house

1t was Sprouts How he came to utter
the words he knows no more than his
father can explain how they froze in his
recollection. However this be, Sprouts
saved his father. The spell was broken.

The play was an immense success, and
when the newspapers came out the next
morning it was found that the critics had
felt constrained to spare few words of
recognition of the striking original man
in which Signor Dibini had played the
comparatively small part of the Doctor.
"Signor Dibini," morning journal
wrote, sis, if we mistake not, new to the
stage. But we venture to predict for him
n distinguished future. We have fire.
quently witnessed the performance of
this Legendary drama, but we confess
that till last night we had never noticed
the relatively insignificant part of the
Doctor. The stately manner of Signor
Dibinis approach, the solemn pause that
preceded his utterance, and the thrilling
tones with which he announced the ap.
proaching end of Chateau-Renaud were
evidences slight but conclusive Of SUI
preme genius. A child in the gallery
paid simple but striking tribute to the
mastcrfulness of the representation by
echoing with shrill voice the brief sen
tence Of death.
The echo MS we know, went before the
speech but that is n mere detail.
