The Value Of . Good Reputation.

A good reputation is of great value.
One who has acquired the name Of
truthful, honest, just, pure man has .
great advantage over others not thus
equipped. If dispute should arise
between two men, one of whom is
known to be truthful and upright,
while the other is suspected OF being
insincere and unreliable, the
verdict of the community is
sure to be given in favor Of the
former. If man is seen in place of
bad reputation his name will go far to
determine the judgment of his neigh
bors concerning his presence there. If
he is known as good and pure man
the presumption will be that he is there
on some benevolent mission. If his
reputation is bad, every suspicious
circumstance will count against
him. He will often be misjudged
because of his bad name. No doubt
men have been convicted of murder on
circumstantial evidence and executed,
when another, against whom the same
circumstantial proofs might have been
alleged would have been acquitted. A
good reputation adds much to ones in
Auence when he seeks to do good. His
arguments, appeals and examples are
emphasized and strengthened by o
good name. But good reputation
which rests on good character is best
of all. 1t shall not be overthrown nor
permanently injured. Clouds may come
over IL, as they come over the sun, but
it will shine forth as the light when
the mists roll away.-N, Y. Post

THE BLUES.
An Easy Way to Dispel = Very Uncom-
Portable Feeling.

An Easy Way to Dispel Very Uncom-
Portable Feeling.
The blues make the person suffering
from their presence extremely unco M
Portable, and her discomfort in subtle
way acts upon others, SO that nobody is
quite cheerful in her neighborhood.
People who are "blue" are quite often
cross as we'll, and are unable to accept
pleasantly the ups and downs of every
day. Now, when you think of 1t, you
must admit that it is a very humiliating
experience to be cross, for cross people
are disagreeable, and none of us
wishes to be that.
The best way to get rid Of the blues
is not to own thatthey have you. Put on
your hat and go for walk. Call on
friend and take her the piece of music
you are to try together, or the book
you have just finished, which you
would like to lend her. Do something
kind for somebody, and stop thinking
about yourself. The greatest waste Of
time in this world, dears, is to think
too much about ones self. Mrs. Brown
ing gives the right idea in her poem,
my Kate" where she says:
Twas her thinking Of others made you think
of her"
Don't laugh at me, girls, when tell
you that half the low spirits one hears
of springs from very prosaic source.
That pound of chocolates, that rich
pudding, that piece Of frosted cake, all
of them very delicious, but all very in
digestible, are to blame, in most in
stances, for young girls depression.
Try what Emerson called "plain living
and high thinking" and see how
CHEEKY life will become.-Harper's

He Wanted an Imaginative Story Of .
Great Detective, With q Moral.
Blisters, chief Of the third degree,
sat in the secret sanctuary with lines
of thought tied in knots upon his
brow. About him in every corner OF
the room were clues-clues in pack
ages, punches and blocks of five. Be-
meath his feet were great heaps of
newspapers, newspapers that he had
carefully scanned-his never failing
way of tracking criminals.
But Blisters, for once, was baffied
like any cheap villain in a Bowery
drama. great murder mystery lay
upon his mind. He was in such mind
even that he couldn't lift responsible
ity from his shoulders by ''railroading
some innocent man. Detectives had
failed him; he was foiled.
Suddenly he turned his haggard face
to the light and deep hiss broke
through the brunette draperies of his
mustache.
"Ha!. he cried. II have it; they
shall not escapel' He raped sharply
upon the wall A secret panel opened,
and a detective, with tear-stained face,
walked in. To him the great chief
said:
'In Brooklyn there are trolley cars;
bring me one"
Eyes, sir; but why?"
"Listen," said the chief. "You and
your companions fail to read the news
papers. You catch no criminals; you
cut no ice. suspend you I'LL. l get q
trolley car. When criminals are to be
caught start the trolley. That will
run them down; it never fails!"

HOW TO MAKE PorPlE.
4 Dish That Is Inexpensive and VERY
Palatable.

-
Palatable.
For preparing perfectly light, ten
der, savory potpie, either veal, chicken
or young lamb is generally selected.
Veal makes an ideal potpie, and is
more familiar, perhaps, than anything
else in this method. The cheaper por-
tions of the veal, especially the neck
piece and parts of the shoulder, are
generally chosen. Free the meat from
fat and cut it in uniform chunks about
two inches square Dredge it with
flour and season it with salt and pep
per. Brown it down in a pot with
tablespoonful of butter. Turn IL
repeatedly while it is browning,
SO that it will not burn. When it
is evenly Drowned add enough
boiling water to barely cover the meat,
and let it simmer down for an hour.
At the end of this time season the meat
again and prepare the paste. For three
pounds of veal sift two cups of -four
into bowl with an even teaspoonful
of cream Of tartar and half an even
tenspoonful of soda. Measure the
cream of tartar little more literally
than the soda. 1t requires "judg-
ment," as old housekeepers say, to
make the delicate difference in meas
ure here indicated, but the result is al
ways better If a trifie less than half
the amount of soda to the cream of
tartar is used. Add q teaspoonful of
sugar and half teaspoonful Of salt.
and stir in just enough milk to
make batter rs stiff rs you can
stir it. Some flour requires more
moisture, so no rule can be given for
this. If the chunks of meat project up
from the liquid in the pot SO the pastry
will rest upon them and not become
water soaked before they are cooked,
it is time to drop the paste in. If there
is considerable liquid boil 1t down.
Put in the pastry as quickly as pos
sible. 1t will nearly cover the stew.
One piece must on no account rest over
the other, SO it is better to use a wide
mouthed kettle. The inexpensive iron
pots known as Scotch broth pots are
excellent for cooking potpie. They
must have a tight cover, and this
cover must be put on the mo-
ment the pastry is put in the
pot. 1t should be left on with
out lifting it for twelve minutes,
and the stew should boil rather
rapidly all the time. At the end Of this
time the potpie can be dished up. Ar
range the pie crust or dumpling, which,
ever name you chose to call 1t. in q cir
Gle on the hot. platter and place the
meat in the center. Add a little more
boiling water to the gravy In the pot,
if it has boiled down to thick glace,
as it usually does. Add a tablespoon
full OF four, and salt and pepper II nec-
essary. Pour this gravy over the meat
and serve it as soon as possible. Chick
en- and lamb are made the same way.
If hen or fowl over year old isused,
it may be necessary to cook it longer
than an hour to insure that melting
tenderness which is the characteristic
of the meat of a properly made potpie.

TO SPARE HIS DOG.
Being Brief Account of Why Mr.. Go
lington Took Up German.

Being Brief Account of why Mr.. Cos
lington Took Up German.
''It will by no means do to assume"
said Mr.. Goslington, "that because
dumb creatures do not respond prompt
ly to our kindness they are insensible
to it. This truth was brought home
strikingly to me once in the case of a
dog that once owned. That this dog
was not impervious to gentle treat
ment was clearly shown by the fact
that when you patted it on the head it
would wag its tail; thereby showing
not only that it understood the kind
treatment but that it was pleased with
it all through. But l observed that
when spoke to the dog when it was
not looking at me, it paid no attention.
This was surprising, and at first rath-
er disturbing, but the dog seemed in
other respects SO kindly that l did
nothing about it.
'Onc day when a German friend of
mine was visiting me, and when l had
called the dog with the usual result,
asked my friend to call him to see If he
would mind him any better. He did
call, and naturally enough, being a
German, he called in German. To
our great surprise, the dog turned
and came joyously bounding to-
ward us. The simple fact was that
the dog understood the universal
kindness of touch and eye, but the only
spoken language he knew was Ger
man, from which country, as l subse-
quently learned, he had been imported
only about ten days before bought
him.
THE only question now was whether
I should teach the dog English, or
whether should learn German. l
thought it would be easier for me to
learn a new language than for the dog,
and that is how l came to take up the
study of German. Y. Sun.
