A VALUABLE AND USEFUL BOOK FREE.

OUR HOME CYCLoPEDIA is the most csm-
plete household companion ever published.
Over fifteen hundred choice and tried receipts
are found in this book. Many of them have
been obtained at large expense to the pub
fishers, some costing twice the price of the
book. There are no receipts in the book
that have not been thoroughly tested and
found the best. Economy has been observed
as far as is consistent with well cooked and
healthful dishes. In fact the book Is the
result of intelligent and careful work OF
years.
We claim that this book is the handsom-
est of the, kind ever published, and we chal-
lenge publishers to show its equal. On the
outside of the cover is shown 1.-The Old
Fireplace" in the home of George Washing
ton at Mt. Vernon. On the title page is
shown the fireplace and kitchen, in the
home of John Howard Payne, author of the
dearly lovod poem, Home, Sweet Home"
Beautiful initial letters are used at the be-
ginning of each chapter, and so arranged
that they spell the title of the book. CALL

Our little town was disturbed one
December night, many years ago, by
the well known and much-dreaded cry
of Sire" and when the citizens turned
out they found the brick Jail in flames.
There was but one prisoner confined
therein at the time-a lad of 10 years
named Markely-who Ii, Sd in the out
skirts of the town will his widowed
mother. He had been convicted of
forgery, and was waiting for the Off
GERS TO take him to the penitentiary.
The evidence was entirely circumstan-
tial, and it looked as if no intelligent
Jury would have convicted him. The
mother was on the ground weeping
and imploring some one TO save her
son, while the boys piteous cries were
horrible. The flames were crawling
slowly but surely up the stairs.
On the outside, mingling with the
crowd, was a drummer who had ar
rived in town that day. Buttoning
his overcoat tight, he had several
buckets of water poured on him, and,
taking the jailer's keys in his left hand
and bucket of water in his right, he
rushed into the Jail and up the burn
ing stairs. His trousers caught fire
twice, but he put them out with the
water in the bucket. He reached the
cell in which the prisoner was confined,
scorched from head to foot. But, new
ertheless, he poured what water he had
left on the boy.
The crowd below was watching in
breathless suspense. The stairs fell
in. They seemed surely doomed.
But suddenly they were seen on the
roof. "A rope!" called the man. One
was quickly thrown to him. He placed
it around the lads waist While the
walls were rocking. The boy reached
the ground Ia safety, but not until the
man, realizing that the wall was about
to fall, jumped and broke leg. They
were barely out of the way when the
walls fell in with n crash.
1t was afterward found that the boy
was not guilty. The man, whose name
was James Williams, and who travelled
for Cincinnati clothing house, soon
recovered. philadelphia Press.

In the Cleaning.

There were a dozen or more of us
sitting in Prospect Park, at Niagara
Falls, in the evening, and man whose
name was understood to be Smith, to-
gether with woman supposed to be
his wife, sat on the parapet at the brink
of the cataract. We were hushed and
silent, awed 10y that mighty pour of
waters for time, and then Smith be-
gan singing Rock of Ages in a low,
sweet voice. 1t was very appropriate
to time and place, and deeper feeling
was stealing over US when n woman
walked through the group straight to
Smith, gave his plug hat a swipe with
her closed umbrella that sent it ten feet
away into the water, and taking his ear
between her thumb and finger she
calmly said.
NCome along with mel"
Without word or the slightest re-
sistance he followed her up the path
until we could no longer see them for
the darkness. Then we turned to the
other woman for an explanation. She
rose up, pulled her shawl around her
shoulders and bowed gracefully as she
backed away with the remark:
"As L am feeling somewhat indis-
posed, / think L will retiah. Good
evening, all"

Queer Ordinances.

Augusta, Ca, has so many funny
things IN her city ordinances that she
has engaged an expert to overhaul and
compile them. Some of the passages
in the laws are put down as ridiculous,
and others are so ambiguous as to be
misleading. ut shall be the duty of
all green grocers to exhibit the ears of
such animals as they offer for sale to
the clerk of the market" is one of
them. The regulation seemed to an
ticipate that all sales of animals were
TO be to the clerk of the market. OF
course this stipulation has never been
complied with. Hero is another !:
After the votes have been counted and
returns consolidated, a hereinbefore
provided, the ballot boxes shall be
properly sealed and deposited with the
clerk OF council, in whose Office they
shall remain for thirty days, at the ex-
piration Of which time they shall be
destroyed by the mayor" However,
the ballo. boxes have never been de-
stroyed, as the law stipulates. The
superintendent of streets and draios
has to suffer a very peculiar hardship.
ut shall Ice the duty of said officer to
remove or have removed all trash, etc
together with all dead animals from the

Telling George What He Was Just Going
TO Do.

George was q bashful lover. He
scarcely dared to touch his lady's hand.
He loved her well and she was worthy
of his affection, for she was modest,
intelligent, sweet, and lovable; but
like all good women, she yearned for
the respectful caresses that are the
evidences of pure affection. She,
however, yearned in vain. George
worshiped her. He might kiss the
hem of her garment, but TO kiss her lips
or cheek-the very audacity of the
thought made him tremble.
They sat together by the sea looking
out upon the track of the moons light
which white-winged yachts were cross
ing now and then;
1t was a witehing hour, a scene
For love and calm delight.
Suddenly she moved slightly away
from him.
"Please, George, don't do that, she
said.
"What?" he asked in genuine sur
prise.
"Oh you needn't tell me-" she re-
piled. "You were just going to put
your arm around my waist and-and
were going to try and kiss me-"
"Dear Arabella@"
"Ohl you needn't tell me different;
you were going to do it. Well, after
all, l suppose you are not to blame. 1t
is just what a lover would do to his
sweetheart, and suppose / must not
be offended if you do do it."
And George grasped the situation
and did exactly what Arabella sup
posed he would do, and the moon
grinned and the stars winked and the
wavelets laughed and a mosquito that
was about to light on the maiden'f
cheek flew away and settled on tn
nose of grass widow who was sitting
near the band stand.

have been taken against fire. The building

next year the plan was enlarged. the struct-
ure being nearly doubled in size. and the
adornment being developed with more de-
liberation and with the benefit OF previous
experience. The design of the corn palace
building this year IS entirely distinct In de-
tail from its predecessors. although of
course the purpose is idcntically the same
viz. the display OF the agricultural prod
ucts OF the region of the upper Missouri
valley about Sioux City. including North
western Iowa. South Oak ota. and Northern
Nebraska. The design, however. has been
altered and amended so as more perfectly
to subserve the central purpose.
The general site OF the building this year
Is the same as last year. being the corner
OF 80 tn and Pierce streets. But the build
Ing this year liz carried entirely across
Pierce street 10 the curb line. there being a
passage for the street railway and for We
