A Man Who Tried to Commit Suicide Pro
vOked the Hotel Keeper.
Speaking of committing suicide
by turning on the gas" said the
hotel clerk as sad smile crept over
his face, I'VE had chap play it low
down on us once upon time. l say
us because was part owner of the
house then and had to pay half the
gas bill"
Being asked to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, he con
tinued:
He was a scrubby looking old
chap with lank satchel in his hands.
and he arrived one Saturday noon
and engaged a room till Monday
morning. l put him in back room
ON the top floor and saw nothing
more of him. 1t seems he told the
chambermaid that he was not feeling
well and did not want his bed made,
and SO no one went near him. There
was an airshaft in one corner OF his
room, but he did not notice it. He
had come there to suicide, so he just
locked the door, shut the window,
turned on the three gas burners and
went to bed. That was about o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
Monday morning j marked the
room vacant, and pretty soon got
word from the chambermaid that the
door was locked. About the same
time a workman on the roof reported
terrible smell of gas. He busted in
the door of the old mans room, and
there he lay in bed on the broad Of
his back, with the gas just ADJOINING
from the burners There was astrong
smell around, but of course the bulk
of it went up the shaft He had some
crackers and cheese, and durn my
buttons if he hadn't been lying right
there for SO hours waiting for death
and having bite to eat when he got
hungry When got in, he turned
his eyes on me and plaintively asked
% Landlord, can you tell me what's
the matter with your gasl She's
been fizzin away here ever since Sat
urday and hasn't even gin me head
acher
II booted that old cuss until my
leg ached and then ran him down
stairs, but he had the best of us after
all. Our gas bill for that month was
$15 extra, and the affair got into the
papers, and we had to stand $500
worth of guying." Detroit Free

Life of the Army Woma an.

Where it happens upon uncommon
occasions that the good and tidy
housekeeper of the civilized world
finds herself beset by untoward con-
ditions, it is the ordinary state of the
army woman to be thus hampered.
There is no time during the active
service of her husband in which she
may erect her household gods in the
pleasing consciousness that they are
there to stay. Four years is an un-
usual length of time in which to tar
ry at one place, and even within the
limits of q single garrison it is no ex
traordinary thing for a household to
move from one set of quarters to an,
other upon the curtest notice. The
army woman is a nomad. She has
no abiding place. She is here today
and there tomorrow, and not, in
common, where she listeth.
The wise and paternal government
has need of her husbands services in
Maine one month and possibly in
Texas the next. He obeys his orders
without question, promptly, and she,
if she be a true wife and an altogeth-
er adorable army woman, will not
return to the house of her father to
dwell in undisturbed serenity, but
packs herself off with her husband
to the last unheard of place where
he must go Nor is this nomadic ex-
istence the worst part of her life.
One must consider the places in
which her lines are cast. They are
often unpleasant in the extreme

Make OF Them.

How TO Serve the Berries and what 20
Make OF Them.
Strawberries should always be washed
before they are used, but it shou' be
done quickly and in very cold water or
their delicate flavor will be injured.
Either hold few in the hand and dip
quickly in water, or place few at a
time In colander and pour the water
over them.
They are most attractively served in
the natural state by leaving the stems
and hulls on. Place an after dinner cof-
fee cup filled with powdered sugar in
the center of a glass or silver individual
berry dish or dainty white china sau-
Ger, lay the fruit loosely around the cup
and garnish with their own handsome
foliage.
If strawberries are overlarge or acid,
cut them into halves or quarters with
silver knife just before serving them. A
mound of such berries busted with sugar
and heaped with sweetened whipped
cream is both tempting and delicious.
Strawberry Sponge Cake-Six eggs, Q
teacupfuls Of pastry -four. II cupfuls of
granulated sugar, tablespoonfuls OF
boiling water and s'heaping teaspoonful
of baking powder. Thoroughly beat the
sugar and yolks of eggs together, add the
| whites beaten to q stiff froth, then the
-four and baking powder sifted together
three times, and lastly the boiling water.
Bake in duplicate long baking pans.
During the latter operation make soft
/ u Axrh hnt1s,aor q nf orrsnvrvrl LOT fod
sugar and half cup of milk until 1t will
drop from the spoon in strings, Pour 1t
into bowl, add teaspoonful of flour
and beat until thick enough to spread.
Remove cake from the tin, spread the
| frosting over and cover well with straw
berries cut In halves, then dust with
sugar and place the other cake over. Ar
range whole, even sized Strawberries
neatly over the top, sift powdered sugar
thickly over, the top and serve with
plain or whipped cream.
Strawberry Dumplings Make dough
precisely the same as for rich short cake,
roll into thin sheet and cut with large
cutter or pint bowl. Put on each piece
half cup of strawberries, heaping tea
spoonful of sugar and two bits of but
ter. Moisten the edges with white Of
egg, fold over and fasten together like q
turnover. sift powdered sugar over the
top and bake on buttered paper 10 min
utes.
Strawberry Pie--Line deep pie plate
with rich paste and bake q delicate
brown. Have ready enough strawber-
ries to fill the shell. When it is nearly
baked, add sugar to the fruit and make
meringpe of the whites of 2 eggs and
IL tablespoonfuls Of powdered sugar.
Quickly fill the shell with berries, spread
| the meringue roughly over the top, re-
turn to the oven and brown slightly.
Serve cold.
