A CHILDHOOD LEGEND.
The Awfully Wicked Aunt and the Ex-
ceedingly Good Boy.

The Awfully Wicked Aunt and the Ex-
ceedingly Good Boy.
When Henry was five years old his
father and mother concluded to die and
leave him an orphan, and as soon as
they could conveniently bring it about
they did so. Henry's only living rela-
tive was an aunt who lived in a hut by
herself on the edge of a large forest, and
when he was left alone she came over,
gathered up the personal property in a
handkerchief, and took him by the ear
and said:
''Henceforth you are to live with me,
and if don't make you the saddest Or
phan in Posey County then I'll never
ask for another rebate on taxesr'
And she was as good as her word.
From early morn she made Henry wish
cutting all the fuel, bringing water from
the spring, and keeping robbers away at
night, he was expected to split five hum
dred rails per week, hoe a couple
of acres of corn and sprinkle
the potato patch with Paris
green. 1t was seldom he murmured, but
once in great while, alta receiving an
unusually bad scalp wound, he would
turn upon her in his childish way and
plaintively inquire:
Aunt ScupernOng, how can you find
it in your heart to treat poor and di-
lapidated orphan in this bloodthisty
manner?'
And she would utter a chuckle which
would have turned the blood of hyena
to ginger ale, and, Selling the red-hot
poker, thrust it through his body several
times with exceedingly great relish
You may think this thing went on for
eighteen or twenty years without end,
but it didn't. There is limit to how
much you can pound an orphan. One
day, after Henry had been with his
cruel aunt for thirteen years, and just
after she had attempted to gouge out his
eyes to use as buttons on her new fur
cloak, he went to the forest for fuel. and
ON his return he found a great black cat
in the hut and his aunt missing. He
looked at the cat as if an explanation
would come in handy, and the latter
drew down her left eye and said:
Toughest piece of sirloin, Eve got
away with in five years, but guess
can manage to keep her down. You are
now your own boss, and as you take the
road for Buffalo remember that half the
wool crop of this world is mixed with
cotton before it goes to market"-De

Receipts Which Will BE Appreciated By
Every HOusekeeper.
There are many delicious hot cakes
which are eaten with butter that arc
especially welcome on the home table
on cold or damp nights. Waffles, old
fashioned rice pancakes and sally-lunns
are regular features of the Southern tea
tables. Any one who has eaten the ex-
cellent German apple and peach cakes
will find them especially delicious and
suitable for the supper table. To make
a good rice cake. take a cup of boiled
rice, add to it two cups of milk, mOisten-
ing the rice by degrees. When all the
milk is added stir in half a cup of MELT
ed butter. Sift over the mixture two
cups of -four, mixed with two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder; add two WE'LL
beaten eggs, teaspoOnful of salt and
beat the batter thoroughly. Bake these
cakes on a griddle. If they are too
thick thin them with more milk. They

juice over them, roll each of them into

knead it for half an hour, using as little

again, and in three or four hours roll
out pieces in sheets the size OF your

An Italian Who Breaks the Record for

Il have seen some stingy men while

So spoke one of our young doctors en-
gagged in a large dispensary connected
with one of the medical schools in the
city to New York Evening Sun re-
porter. The doctor continued: much
of our work is thankless enough. We
experience the greatest difficulty in get
ting patients to tako medicine as they
are directed.
They seem almost to have an idea
sometimes that VIC ought to pay them
for taking what is going to cure them.

in breathing. but retained breath
enough TO mako Rome howl. Calming
the father somewhat, we managed to
learn that the child had swallowed o
quarter OF 4 dollar. which had stuck in
its throat He asked if we could get it
out. We promised to do our best, and,
as clinic was in session, took tho
child and the father into the pit Of the
.ampitheater. so that the operation
might be performed before the students.
The prof cssor began work at once,
for he saw that the child was in fair
way to suifocatc. They use for these
operations an in strument called coin
catcher. which is made like a crochet
needle, only the Material is ubber, and
the hook on the end of the instrument
is longer than that of tie crochet needle.
The instrument is to be passed down the
throat past the coin, and when with
drawn the hook catches under the coin
and it is pulled up. At best,it is diff
cult operation, for the child will kick
and squirm. and it is not without danger
to the surrounding parts.
THE professor worked away, and as
his efforts for time proved unsuccess-
fnl, the anxiety on the face Of the father
became intense. lie fidgited and seemed
to think that all was lost. At length
the coin was cxtricatcd and the boys
stamped their applause. The professor
laid the coin down on the table while no
was he'd his hands. This was the 1tal-
ian's chance. and while the professors
back was turned he quickly transferrc d
the quarter to his pocket. The look Of
distress vanished from his countenance.

his coin had contended with the danger
Of losing his child to produce his anxiety,
and that is why say it was the meanest
thing ever saw. The boys had one
eye on the professor, though. when ho
turned and looked for the quarter, and
they made the old building shake with
their appreciation. The professor caught
on and got the man to swap off the re-
covered quarter for another, while no

The republican party is paced

The republican party is s'aeed &c
one Of the most unique posit'"n- II h
ever been forced to assume. 1t h4s
condescended to explain 10 position o'l
several unpopular bills. and Mas +
its adherents are actually openly up
posing its position on several imp"rt
ant measures. What is the mater
with the grand old party that has whip
ped recalcitrant members into line so
often in by-gone days? TIE natural
conclusion Is that it has at last gone
beyond the line where men refuse 70
sacrifice manhood for party politics.
The two measures which have caused
dissension in the ranks are the Mckin-
ley Tariff Bill and the Federal Elect
ion Bill. The various senators. con-
gressmen and editors do not "ppose
these measures because they favor the
classes as against the masses n'r he
cause they consider tire Force Bill as
unjust tyrannical and subversive Of
the personal liberties Of the people,
but solely and only because they be-
ieve the passage of these bills will
precipitate q revolt in the ranks Of the
party. While they are fully alive to
the injustice of the pr"visi"Ds il both
bills they oppose them as a matter of
party policy rather than because they
are unfair and unjust. The republic
ans are placed ''between the devil and
the deep sea-" and because some pa
pers and politicians recognize this fact
is the sole Reason for opposition 70 the
obnoxious measures aow before the
Senate and House.
