Col Tom Ochiltree, of Texas, i
known as the champion prevaricator
the Southwest. Among the numerous
good stories told at his expense Is the
following; He had just arrived in New
York one winter from Europe, and wa
fairly resplendent in n new overccat ant
a very elegant sealskin cap. He wa
talking with some friends in hotel lob
by, and one Of them expressed grea'
admiration for Ochiltrees cap. "Why
there is quite little history connected
with that cap" said Ochiltree; "thnt
was given me by French Countess,
Such dear little creature, 30 bewitch'
ingly handsome, and charming in every
way. Well, met her in Paris, and she
fell in love with me at once, and while J
was there 1 saw q great deal OF her,
She made me several very handsome
presents, which 1 will show you somt
time, and among them was this hat"
One of his friends, who had become
quite interested in the hat by this time
took it off Ochiltree's head, and there
pasted in the top of it, was o trademark
with "Knox, Halter" printed on it
Look here, Tom," cried his friend :;
chow is this? Here is Knox, Halter,
in the top of your hat" Ochiltrce did
not allow himself to be disconnected by
any little trademark, so answered very
promptly: "Why, just as We were com
ing into the dock, the other morning
my cap blew of into the water, and was
recovered by small boy who stood on
the dock and saw the accident. l took
it up to Knox TO have it repaired, and

AGOOD WITNESS FOR TIE DEFENSJ


There was case in Detroit III which
the lawyer for the plaintiff had a sudden
drop. 1t was matter of trespass, and
the defendants only witness was an old
man. He stated that he rode along q
certain highway with defendant, held
the horses while defendant got down,
but saw no act of trespass. "You say

moral courage to unite the tape that

At this juncture the young man smiled,
and, untying the roll, he displayed some
quires of blank paper! Thus convicted,
the secretary shook hands with the
aspirant, invited him to dinner, and
afterward assisted him to successful
debut at the Odeop. Another author
once waited upon the popular manager
of a London theater inquiring the
result of the rerusal of his manuscript;
whereupon the other, having
forgotten all about it, carefully
opened a large drawer, exhibit
ing heterogeneous mass of documents,
and exclaimed: "Therel help yourself

Household Hints.

1T is still "good FORM to ornament
the lamp shade by covering the porce-
lain over with thin outer covering of
tinted silk and lace, or of lace alone,
put on in rows over tarletan or fine
net.
A wELL-KNowN caterer emphasizes
this fact: that good salad cannot be
made with cold-boiled potatoes Ee
says that they must be cut up while the
potatoes are hot, and that the parsley
and onion, pepper and salt should be
put with them at that time.
PETTY doyleys for the cake basket
are made by embroidering pretty little
figures in the corners of plain white
napkins; fringe the edges, if they are
not already fringed; overcast where you
stop raveing, and if you can do SO
make border of drawn work.
If your old stand or small table needs
upholstering to make it look respect
able, try this way of doing it: Cover
the top with dark, doublefaced Canton
flannel, then sew or tack deep fringe
around the edge. This can be bought
in all colors and widths, and the wider
or deeper it is the prettier.
A GOOD Monday pudding is made by
taking bowlful of cold boiled rice !;
put layer in the pudding-dish, then
layer of fruit, and so on; sweeten to
taste; pour milk over all and set in the
oven to heat. Serve it with sugar and
cream. If not, make regular boiled
custard quite thin and serve for sauce.
A PARTICULARLY nice pudding is
quickly and easily made. Heat one
quart of sweet milk, and in this stir
three tablespoonful of Indian meal
which you have put through your -four
sitter yourself. Stir constantly. Let
this cool slowly for about fifteen min
utes. Meanwhile when you take mo-
ment from the stirring beat three eggs
lightly, add teaspoonfui of salt, half a
cup of sugar, tablespoonful of butter,
and half a teaspoonful of ginger; stir
all gradually in with the milk and meal
Put all, while hot, into an earthen pud-
ding dish, and bake in a moderate oven
for an hour. Serve with any sauce that
you prefer. A spicy flavor is thought
to be most suitable for this pudding;
lemon or brandy may be used.

BLACKTHORN.

She sleeps All, welcome spell OF rest,
To tired hands and brain oppressed!
Her morning task is done.
With what a soft pathetic grace
The chill March eunbeams kiss her race,
My poor work-wearled one

little space l may abide,
To watch her breathing free;
All me the thin, care sharpened cheek,
The sunken broxs, that dumbly speak
OF all she shares with me
/ wooed her from the lap Of wealth,
While strong in youth, and proud OF health,
/ thought the world my own;
And she, sweet soul, put lightly by
The gauds that charm the worldly eye.
And lived for me alone
look upon her sleeping face,
And by her paIIid cheek place
A tiny blackthocn spray;
Meet symbol of her joyless life,
For we are conquered in the strife,
Are beaten in the fray.
The roses of this lower world
Were not for US, the wild winds hurled
Afar our hopes young buds;
And grim misfortunes sullen tide
Svamped all life's landscape far and wide,
Like February foods.
All. trusting heart too true TO me,
An. tender wife tits hard for thee,
This round of labor done;
The bIackthorn's leafess pearly spray,
Instead of rosy -custcCed May,
And cloud instead of sun.
What wakest thou to hear my moan?
All, darling, in the tender tone
Lies lifes best music yet;
Though worldly ways are closed to me,
God gave me all in giving thee,
My heart hath no regret.
Take thou this little black thorn spray
plucked upon my homeward way,
II doth us comfort bring;
Though hope hath failed, true love survives,
The ''blackthorn winter of our lives
Leads to eternal Spring.

The RuIe of Three

Such diseases as dyspepsia, constipation and liver
complaint is subversve of the healthful action of
every organ. To the speedy relief and ultimate
eradication Of these foes to health, Hoste.ter's
Stomach Bit'ers is specially adapted. 1t is botanic
in composition, unobjectionable in flavor, and its
laxative effect upon the bowels is never accompanied
by the pain in the gastric and abdominal region
which prscedes the operation Of the average cahar-
tic. 1t does its remedial rk thoroughly, and is
much to be preferred to til cheap appetizers and
local bitters sometimes cold assessing properties
of kindred nature. Physical who have tested
this medicine in practice recomu.t nd it srtice
worthy of public and professional confidence. 1t
cures and prevents fever and aeue, and overcomes
rheumatism, kidney and uterine troubles

Care of Hogs.

1t is an exploded theory that hogs
can take care of themselves, eat any
kind of food and still thrive. To obtain
the best results farmer must use the
strictest care in feeding his young pigs
and give several articles of food besides
corn. Grass, roots, artichokes, potatoes
and beets can all be fed with advantage.
A writer in speaking of this whole mat
ter expresses himself thus: "Probably
the most common failure to give good
care to Western swine is in the matter
of sleeping places. The hog is very
sensitive to cold, and will try and keep
warm by burrowing into his litter, or,
when in large numbers, crowding close
together or upon each other. Either of
these is directly opposed to receiving a
supply of pure air, and the hog needs
this as much as other domestic ami
mails"

The Demand for Apples.

1t was thought that the abundant
crop of apples in England last season
would spoil the demand for American
apples, but the demand is as great as
ever. Russets and Newton pippins
have found permanent market in that
country, and there is complaint that 4
cents apiece is too high an average
price for them. Speaking of the En-
glish product writer in the London
Garden places Cox's orange pippin at
the head of the list. Scarlet nonpareil
is mentioned as an apple of great
merit. Mannington's pearmain never
fails to produce a good crop. Lodg-
more nonpareil is quite small, but ex-
ceilent in flavor in March and April
Ribston pippin appears to have lost, at
least in part, its great popularity. The
tree is liable to disease, and the fruit is
hard and dry. Blenheim orange is a
fine apple, but a poor bearer. Cornish
gillihower is SO unproductive that the
writer does not get six apples year
from 20-year tree.
