DRAWN BUTTER

DRAWN BUTTER
Boil half q pint Of milk, and stir into
it as much wheat -four mixed with
cold milk as will thicken it. Take it
off the fire and beat in gradually three
ounces Of butter. Add a little salt.
PUREE OF CLANS.
One quart of CLAIMS, two bay leaves,
two tablespoons minced onion, one pint
milk, one teaspoon salt, ne-half salt
spoon pepper, one fourth saltspoon cay
enne, one cup cream, two tablespoons
butter, two tablespoons corn starch.
CUCUMBER SALAD.
Take two very crisp cucumbers, peel
and slice very thin, sprinkle with salt
and pounded ice, let stand ten minutes,
drain. put in a salad bowl, sprinkle with
minced onion and cayenne, pour over
a plain salad dressing, and set on ice
until very cold.
STRAWBERRY PIE.
Cover a pie plate with a thin layer
of rich paste. Put on a rim, and fill
the centre with bread crusts. Bake in
a quick oven, and, when done, remove
the bread and fill with Strawberries
which have been rolled in sugar. Beat
the whites of three eggs stiff, add three
t~ablespoonfuls of powdered sugar,
spread over the berries, and brown
it slightly in the oven. Serve cold
with cream.
TOMATO OMELETTE.
Six eggs, a w~ineglass of flour, four
ripe tomatoes, pepper and salt to the
taste, milk sufficient to mix the -four
smoothly. Beat the eggs very light,
stir in the mixed milk and -four, peel
and chop the tomatoes and add with
the pepper and salt. Have a pan with
some hot butter, pour in the mixture
and fry it. When done it may be
Tapped half over or not, according to
the fancy. Do not turn it.
GLACE FROSTING.
Put half a cupful of sugar and three
tablespoonfuls Of water in a small
saucepan. Stir over the fire until the
sugar is nearly melted. Take the
spoon from the pan before the sugar
really begins to boil, because it would
spoil the icing if the syrup were stirred
after it begins to boil. After boiling
gently for four minutes, add half a
~teaspoonful of vanilla extract, but do
not stir; then set away to cool. When
the syrup is about blood warm, beat it
with a wooden spoon until thick and
white. Now put the saucepan in
another with boiling water, and stir
until the icing is thin enough to pour.
Spread quickly on the cake.

level plain towards where a big herd
was camped.
When within three or four hundred
yards of the bunch I could see, under
the white Texas moonlight, the dark
mass Of cattle and occasionally a sill
houtte, between me and the sky, of
one of the guards on his pony, and in
the intense loneliness of the plains night
the singing of the one boyishv voice hold
ing his untaught, unconscious way
through "a Fountain Filled With
Blood" and the whistling of his CON-
panion on a little harmonicum,
"Home, Sweet Home" as they came
round past me in turn, were as lovely
touching sounds as I ever heard

ALTER CASES

We're Communists and Socialists
And ~dynamiters, too;
We're slaves of walking delegates
Who tell us what to do,
There's nothing we should kich about,
We've all got cheek sublime;
But we're bone n sinew of the land"
About election time.
We're hCwlers of calamity,
We're crazy fiat fools.
We're lawless scum and foreign scruff
And stubbOrner nor mules.
They threaten us with Calling guns
And in our hair to climb
But we're thinking toilers of the land"
About election time.
We're wild-eyed Hayseeds, lazy shil ks,
Alliance traitors, knaves;
We're looters of the vaults of wealth,
And our speaker always "raVes:"
We're danger to the country
And Republic all the time
But we're honest, sturdy farmers"
About election time.
We're every thing that's vile and mean,
For twice three hundred days;
Nihilists, thugs, and Pinkertons
Are urged on us to blaze,
If but we demand justice,
AS against q gilded crime
But we're valiant hosts of labor"
About election time.
They tell US of protection,
And the glory of a tax;
The rights of lOnest capital
To ride upon u backs;
Our comfort and prosperity
Tho we haven't got a dime),
And once more save the party,
About election time.
They tax US, and they drive US,
And mock US in our woe;
They tell us we're responsible,
Tho they know it isn't so;
And we stand right up and take it,
While the blOats their pockets line.
Oh, we're several million darndest fools,
About election time.

Brains and Bodies.

Big brains and big abdomens may go to-
gether. Victor Hugo was large enough to
join the fat mems society, and even Gau-
tier, who spent good deal Of time poking
fun at fat men, at last became fat himself.
Of Janin, a French editor, Gautier said:
HE would break down any eighteenth CEN
fury sofa on which he might happen to sit.
His chin and cheeks fell down chasing
themselves over his whiskers" Alexandre
Dumas, the elder, weighed more than 200
pounds. Eugene Sue, author of the ''Mys-
teries of Paris and the Wandering Jew,"
for several years before he died had to say
goodby to his feet because he couldn't see
them. Renan, the philosopher and histo-
rian, was puffy with fat. The same author
recites that William the Conqueror became
a monster physically before he died, and so
did Emperor Maximus Caesar and Ma

There was a select family gathering in
the Back Bay district the other night, and
the parlor was full. Charles Augustus was
an invited guest, and he was doing his best
to be agreeable He had fallen in love with
the oldest daughter. or rather with a pos
sible dowry that would go with her if she
married. Little sister Mabel was there, 6
years old, with eyes and ears wide open
She regarded Charles Augustus with curl
osity and finally asked him:
''Mr. Charles, don't you want glass of
water?"

sBut wish you would take one," per-
sisted the little disturber Of the public
peace.
'And why do you wish me to drink some
water?" he asked.

There was dull thud of silence in that
