the Germans of Barton county. There
are times when a little good horse

ACCORDING to the Pawnee Rock
Leader one of the objectionable sins
Treasurer Krause has been guilty OF
was the Payment of Pawnee Rock
scrip, by whose authority we know not. -
The scrip in question was for S17.4O;
had been presented to the treasurer,
E. Smith, and marked mot paid for
want of funds" Interest to the extent
of $3.50 had accrued, and when pre-
sented to Mr.. Krause, who had money
on hands belonging to ,Pawnee Rock,
which the treasurer had not called for,
thought to do the city favor by stop
ping the interest which that city was
paying, and paid the scrip. If the
people of Pawnee Rock were anxious to
pay interest and let their money lay
idle, then perhaps Mr.. Krause was
doing them a wrong. Otherwise he
did them benefit. And that charge
is of piece with all the rest of the
cock and bull stories some of the
opposing candidates are circulating
about our democratic officers.

We hear them exclaim: "What mock

Let our housekeepers and those who
have "homes of their own" appreciate
their privileges in this respect, remem-
bering with sincere pity the legion of tired
workers in midsummer who can take no
rest.
1t is well for the housekeeper in this
lazy midsummer weather to economic
her strength in every possible way Let
her hire more of her work done if it can
be; cook less, eat less; spending more
time with her books and newspapers and
social enjoyments with her neighbors, re-
membering that health, heart BRAIN, all
must be considered in order to gain a
true estimate of right living.
There seems to come time in Florida
midsummer when we can truly afford to
be lazy; when the spur and whip of re-
mOrseless work ceases to goad and
grind, and we can ''put on ourclean white
aprons and sit down and do nothing" :"
But God forbid that it should be forever
and ever"

Early Morning Dishes.

In response to the request for good
dishes that may be prepared early in the
morning, and thus save the heat and dis
comfort of cooking midday meal, we
have received the following:
Editor Household Department.:
Tt seems very strange to me why SO
many people feel as if they must have
a hot dinner in summer time. So much
of our food is just as good if eaten cold,
and more healthy, too, if we get in the
habit of using it so. | always plan to
have my dinners, except on washing and
ironing days, cooked in the early morn
ing AS [ do my own household work
and cooking, find this very essential, as
I am unable to endure the heat of the
stove at noon. bought a nice little oil
stove with one burner for ST. .25, on which
| can make tea and coffee and warm any
vegetables may have cooked, although
some vegetables are just as good eaten
cold as hot, using with them vinegar,
pepper, salt and mustard. Boiled cab
bage and okra are both good so.
There is everything in planning wisely
this hot weather, to save our strength.
Here is my recipe for delicious pud-
ding, which is really better cold than hot.
GUAvA PUDDING.
Cut thin slices of bread and butter (bak-
er's bread is best),g spread them with
stewed guavas Il use the guavas I can
ned last summer). Then make custard
by mixing one pint of milk with two we'll
beaten eggs and four tablepoonfuls Of
sugar. If this is not enough to cover the
bread and butter, double the quantity.
Bake until the custard is set. This is a
good way to use up old bits of bread.
Any other canned fruit that is not too
juicy will do. Nice tart, evaporated ap-
pie sauce is excellent.

All Around the House.
BRIGHT, TASTEFUL FURNISHINGS AND CUR
TAINs FOR SPARE ROOM.

A very effective pillow case can be made
with strips of fine linen joined with en-
broidery insertion an inch to inch anda
half wide. the breadth of the linen strips
to vary according to taste. This can be
trimmed either with frill of linen or lace.
The pillow itself should be covered with
nlain cOlOred sateen, to show through the
Insertion. 4 spare bed is usually stripped
when not in use. the sheets being aired and
put on as the bed is required, the blankets
neatly folded and laid on the mattress, but
acolored chintz counterpane, with a frill OF
it's own, or coarse Torchon lace trimming,
has a very good effect and makes room
look cheerful.
For half window curtains there is moth
ing more attractive than a soft muslin
with frill of the same passed on the rod,
made rather full and allowed to hang
straight down, pushing them back or
drawing them together, as desired.
Two pretty ways of arranging short
muslin curtains are as follows:
Divide the muslin (plain or figured) in
to three pieces, and edge the centre one
with a small frill down each side, the o tn
er with frill only on the inside. Hem
them at the top and pass the brass or
ribbon band through them tie the cen
tire pieces together in the middle with rib
bon and bow; loop back the sides also
with ribbons and bows. The bottom of
the blinds may be either left loose chem
med and frilled) or passed through an
other brass or ribbon band; or, hem the
muslin at the top and frill it each side !;
run the rod or band through the hem.
Then gather the bottom into a band of
the muslin about one inch deep and six
long, and fasten (fan shape) with tiny
tacks or drawing pins on to the center of
the window frame.-Times-Un

should be cut into the shelf, SO that the
water will drain off quickly. AS the dishes
are washed place them on this shelf, and
when all are done turn hot water over
them to rinse and then wipe quickly.
Dish washing is an important part OF
housekeeping, and good supply OF dish
cloths and wiping towels are indispensa-
ble There should be glass towels, silver
towels, china towels, and common dish
and tin towels.-Mail and Express.

A Kitchen Convenience.
Mrs. WOODBURY.. .

Not every kitchen can be supplied with
all modern improvements, and not every
housekeeper has the means to possess
them, but every one can procure this, and
it will pay it's cost in short time Al
most all sinks are too small for comfort,
and their proportions can be increased
by placing at one end board the width
of the sink and two and half feet in
length, letting it rest upon the sink.
Then have rim OF board, four inches in
height, screwed upon three sides. Raise
the end furthest from the sink slightly,
and have one end securely fastened to the
wall. Two or three not very deep grooves

There is gadness in the household,
The shadows fade away
That darkened all the sunshine
OF many summer day,
"Oh, mammals getting BETTER
The happy children cry,
And the light of hope shines bright again
In the loving husbands eye.
In thousands of homes women are "sick
unto death" with the terrible diseases SO
common to their sex, and it would seem
as if all happiness had gone out of life and
the household in consequence. For when

"Constitutionally Tired"

She lived in q mouse Wnefe no nelp WiIS Hlfeu;
Her last words on earth were: Dear friends,
going
Where sweeping amt done, nor churning. nor
sewing;
And every thing there will be just to my wishes;
For where they don't eat there's washing Of
dishes;
And though there the anthems are constantly
ringing,
I, having no voice. will get rid of the singing.
Don't mourn for me now, and don't mourn for
never
For am going to do nothing forever and ever"
Instinctively we have a sort ofpity and
compassion for that poor, tired old wo-
man who is supposed to have uttered
the above lines. But on second thought
our pity lessons trife, as we think that
perhaps it might be that the spirit OF to-
tai inaction was induced by acertain con-
stitutional defect called '1aziness."
Not for moment would we be consid-
cred severe on her, for if there is anyone
in all this world of toll who has a claim
on our sympathies, it is a poor, tired,
Over-worked old woman, compelled to
struggle from morning till night for her
daily bread.
But the longing ito do nothing forever
and ever' was probably owing to dis
taste for work of any kind, as in the case
of the other old woman, who also ex-
pressed her idea of the blessedness of
heaven, which was to Gust put clean
white apron on and sit down and do moth
ing forever and ever"
Evidently these characters are types of
a class of people who are ''constitution-
ally tired" Yet we acknowledge at this
moment that there are times when we
are in entire accord with them. Is it the
hot weather? We like to ascribe these
feelings of extreme lassitude and laziness
If it must be so called-tO the climate.
1t is so convenient, and saves our self re-
spect so nicely But is it not amazing
how much of human frailty is laid to our
Florida midsummer weather? We have
neglected our household duties, we feel
nervous, cross, and impatient; give
way to fretfulness and bad temper. 1t is
so easy to give the hot weather the credit
of it all
Now, as we are in a somewhat philO-
sophical turn of mind this sultry morning,
let us look at this lazy subject with as
much vigor as the weather will permit.
In the first place we must remember
that however much we may be inclined
to excuse ourselves from any undue eX-
ertion, the worlds work moves on just
the same "No quarter to laziness" is
the worlds verdict always. 1t will do us
good Just now to think of the larger class
of our sisters who are wage-wOrkers and
bread-winners, standing all day long be-
hind the counters of our ill-ventilated
stores; adding long columns of figures in
the dizzy ledgers; keeping up with some
inexorable hungry machine which clamors
to be ''fed' at all cost; sitting day after
day, into the night, sewing, stitching
stitching until the back aches and the
brain whirls With what compOsure do
you think, if by chance they find time to
pick up something like the following and
read:
"The siesta is Spanish, and means the
short sleep after dinner, in which most
people indulge who live in hot climates.
