kins. and a smile spread over his face.
After whispering a few words to Mag
gie's mother and sister, he rushed to the

tie officials worked. When the staging
was completed she walked through the

SAL on the rough seat.
Don't you think ! might squeeze

How to Can Beef.

Beef may be canned in the following
manner; The meat is cooked by roast
ing baking, or boiling, and either fresh
or corned- When well cooked it is cut
into suitable pieces and packed firmly in
the cans, without the heads, so that the
contents can be made solid and fill the
can completely The covers are then
soldered on and the cans are put into a
boiler with solution of chloride of lime.
which boils at much higher heat than
water or in water under pressure. This
produces heat which destroysall germs
OF decomposition and leaves the meat in
such condition that it will remain I'M
changed as long as air is excluded from
the cans. For domestic use meat of any
kind may be canned or preserved by cook
ny 1t thoroughly, cutting ii up free
from bone and pressing it while hot in
glass cans and then pouring hot melted
lard or tailow 10 fill the bottles. The
bottles are Immediately sealed. Meat

Some Simple Remedies.

For sore throat cut slices of fat,

around the throat with a flannel cloth
When stung by bee or wasp, make a
paste of common earth and water, put
on the place at once and cover with a
cloth. For a cold on the chest a flannel
rag wrung cut in boiling water and
sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the
chest, gives the greatest relief When
a felon first begins to make its appear
ance, take 4 lemon, cut off one end, put
the finger in and the longer it is. kept
there the better. For a cough, boil one
ounce of fiaxseed in a pint of water,
strain and aid little honey, one ounce
of rock candy, and the juice of three
lemons; mix and boil well. Drink as
hot as possible. Often after cooking a
meal a person will feel tired and have
no appetite. For this beat raw egg
until light, stir in little milk an sugar
and season with nutmeg. Drink half an
hour before eating. For burn or scald
make a paste of common baking soda
and water, Spply at once and cover with
a linen clO.a. When the skin is broken
apply the white OF an egg with feather;
this gives instant relief, as it keeps the
air from the flesh. At the first signs of
a run-round, take cup of wood ashes.

can be cleaned by securing with ashes

a newspaper. Lime free from grit mixed
with alcohol applied with leather will
give beautiful polish TO steel. To give

prevented from rusting by heating them
and rubbing well with linseed oil and
heating again. Wood ashes or whiting

Two Lovers Race for a Bride.

"a young Lochinvar Is come out of
the West, " and he has captured bride
and the sympathies of all the people in
the town of Fulton. Mo. Miss Bette
Langley is the daughter of a prominent
farmer, and as she is both fair and charm
ing she was an object of great interest to
the eallants of the county. Miss Grundy
had several months ago decided that only
two suitors stood a chance of success, a
wealthy Texan named W. A. Sneathen
and a poor but hansome young man
named jesse Bull. The Texas man re-
Gently learned that Ball and Miss Bette
we're engaged, and resolved to play his
last card. He went TO the girls father
and offered him s., 900 for Miss Bettie.
The father accepted and contracted to
deliver his daughters affections into the
hands Of Mr. Sneathen. The stern parent
rounded-up the beautiful Bette and
told her that Bull had to move on, and
that she must marry Sneathen. She said
she would take the matter under advise
ment. She then sent a messenger hur
riedly to Bull and told him to secure a
license and meet her Saturday. He
failed to appear Saturday, and Miss
Bette stopped with the family OF Rod
Douglas. Meanwhile her father told the
Texas lover that the coast was clear, and
this morning Sneathen got his license
He left the Recorders office as Bull en-
tered and desired license to marry the
same girl. Miss Bette was informed of
what had taken place and sent for Elder
Reece Bull had also gone after the
preacher and found Sneathen at the
house. Both men ran for Mr.. Douglas s
house. Bull was the best Splinter, and
with the license in one hand and his hat
in the other he came pusing into his
sweetheart's arms fully 300 yards ahead
of Sneathen. The ceremony was almost
over when the Texan entered, and he
stormed and ragged for ten minutes. The
foot-race was about half mile. Chicago
