DELICATE SANDWICHES.
Some Tempting Ways to Prepare
 Toothsome Morsel


 Toothsome Morsel.
 Time was when two slabs of bread and slab of meat constituted a sand wich, but "war time rations' have now become d thing of the past The malS- ing of a modern sandwich is fast be- coming fine art, and the dainty snacks are served at every meal-din- ner included-besides five o'clock teas, and more formal "at homes." The bread and butter sandwich, so universal in England, is made with bread two days old. Cut off the crust and butter the end of the loaf; shave off slice one eighth of an inch in thickness, fold in halves, trim the edges, cut in triangles, and To! the task is accomplished.
 Sardine sandwiches dispense with butter, the oil being enough. Cut the sardines lengthwise, and bone before laying on i'll q single layer. Stoned dates make a good filling, also crisp lettuce leaves dabbled over with mayonnaise. Grated Dutch cheese mixed with little salt is almost as good between slices Of bread as on a toasted and buttered cracker. Olives stuffed with anchovy and sliced across before spreading will specially appeal to men, who usually rail at the sweets that women crave Their price is the only drawback, in which case anchovy paste. which costs very little, may be readily substituted Sliced meats are seldom used because of their unmanageableness; instead, the devilled canned meats, and left over scraps chopped fine with little pars- ley and seasoning, fill a long-felt want on the summer luncheon and tea table. Even chopped pickles have been pressed into service with good results Plain mayonnaise salad dressing gives an agreeable flavor to bread and butter. and by adding thin slices of banana there is achieved dish worthy kings table.
 The possibilities of cold brown bread sandwiches must be tried to be realized. and the children who frettsd over their Sunday morning breakfast will rise up and call for more.
 Tradition has it that old Georgian cooks served nasturtium leaves and mint between bread wafers as pick-me- ups to Tagging appetites. where now their successors provide water-cress and sandwiches.-Lad World.

The True and Touching Story of Lara
 mic Goat in a Frame.

The True and Touching Story of Lara
 mic Goat in a Frame.
 Laramie has q seal-brown goat with iron-gray chin whiskers and a breath like new-mown hay. wrote Bill Wye.
 He has not had as hard winter as the majority of stock on the Rocky mountains, because he is of domestic turn of mind and tries to make man his friend. Though social in his nature he never intrudes himself on people after they have intimated with a shot gun that they are weary of him.
 When the world seems cold and dark to him and everybody turns eoldly away from him he does not steal away by himself and die of corroding grief He just lies down on the sidewalk in the sun and fills the air with the seddc- tive fragrance of which he is the sole proprietor.
 One day just as he had eaten his midday meal of bootheels and cold sliced atmosphere and kerosene barrel slaves he saw a man going along the street with large looling-glass under his arm.
 The goat watched the man and saw him set the mirror down by gate and go inside the house after some more things that he was moving. Then the goat stammered with his tail few times and went up to see if he could eat the mirror.
 When he got pretty close to it he saw hungry-loolling goat apparently com ing toward him, so he backed off few yards and went for him. There was a loud crash and when the man came out he saw full-length portrait of goat, with a heavy black walnut frame around it, going down the street with great deal of apparent relish.
 Then the man said something derog- atory about the goat, and seemed of tended about something.
 Goats are not timid in their nature, and are easily domesticated.
 There are two kinds of goats-the cashmere goat and the plain goat. The former is worked up into cashmere shawls and cashmere bouquet. The lat ter is not.
 The cashmere bouquet of commerce is not made of the common goat. It is good thing that it is not.
 \ goat that has always been treated with uniform kindness and never be- trayed may be taught to eat out of the hand. Also out of the flour barrel or the ice cream freezer.-Uti tica Observer.

 "'fo what am I indebted for the honor of this call2"
 It was Mrs. Ellen Mary RielSetts who spoke She held in her hand the card of Mrs. Eliza Jenl<inson, which had just been laid on her desk by the office girl, for the card was followed almost in stantly by the entrance of the person whose name it bore.
 There was really no necessity for the use of the card, either, for the two had frequently met.
 Mrs. Rieletts was the candidate for congress of the optional headgear party, while Mrs. Jenhinson was the non. enspidor nominee. Under the circum stances it was natural for her to be sur prised at receiving a call from her op- ponent.
 q came te see you on small matter of business" observed the visitor.
 "Pray proceed"
 q have learned from good authority that your agents are bent upon cam paign of personalities, and that they intend 10 give to the press certain slan- derous gossip about me, calculated to iniure my candidature."
 The speaker paused. and Mrs Rick efts said, interrogatiyely;
 "Well?s
 .sWell," echoed Mrs. Jenlsinson, "we must keep personalities out of the cam. paign,"
 eve must, must we?"
 .sWe must.n
 Mrs. Ricketts sncered.
 Mrs. JerSinson waXed Wroth.
 Look here. Mary Ellen Ricketts," :" she exclaimed don't you dare to turn up your snub nose at me, now!''
 "Eliza Jenlxinson," retorted Mrs. Rieketts, my nose is not a snub, and don't you dare to presume to dictate what nay agents shall or shall not do in this campaign"
 "We'u see about that, Mary Ellen Riel1etts; you were engaged 10 my hus- band in your young days, good many years ago.
 I'm not nearly as old as you, I'd have you know
 "You are

 "And I merely wish to add that on the very first publication of personality about me in yoHr newspaper organs shall print in the Daily Bugle every single one Of your laelladaisieal epistles Do you underestimate"
 The two women glared at each other a half a minute. and then Mrs 1enllin son withdrew leaving Mrs Mary Rick cts deep in thought.
 The campaign was conducted without any personalities.-N. Y. Telegram.

What is Capital?

The bulk of capital in this country, that is to say, loanable capital, is con- stituted of the savings of persons of small or moderate means. Millionaires, as rule, have no money to loan. It is therefore readily understood why there should be mixture of enterprise and caution in the m- her in which these savings are employed. It is simply an evidence of the business intelligence which presides over the equally com mon habits of industry and thrift Men who by means of industry and thrift have accumulated small surplus feel that their surplus, however small, is safe only in the hands of prudent and intelligent men who are backed with security. With promise of a change of values, capital quietly enfolds itself like clam. When the door is closed on capital, neither honied eloquence nor threats of vengeance will cause it to open. Confidence is the power which wins capital. The present slaekness and hesitation on the part of investors is ascribed to impaired confidence It is not necessary to discuss the point of what caused confidence to become inn paired. What the reader is most inter- ested in is the return of confidence and an awakening of enterprise. Capital rep resents the savings of past labor and is the means for employing future labor. We must have capital. For two years past eastern capital has been seeking foreign outlets There has been heavy shrinkage of values since 1892
 Trade, as well as farming, has been carried on at smaller profit than ever before. Both farmers and business men who have kept even have done well. Depreciation in stocks has cut down the surplus of speculators in that field A large majority of farmers and business men are poorer to-day than three years ago. There has been a horizontal reduction of property all along the line, in which the millionaire and the laboring man who has no eapi- tai but intelligence and muscle have suffered in proportion. Economists and experts in financial lore say the condi- ton of affairs is anomalous, though ad- hitting that the anomaly consists in an abundance of unemployed money. with 4dCbOl1Co h5pCntCu3 lnllllOuS or men idle and business depressed. In a gov ernment that has proved it's stability and it's power, a nation peopled with men of activity and energy, and with an abundance of pent up capital beg ging for employment, 1t is safe to say timidity cannot long rule. Business is pausing in preparation for a new ad- vance. An expansion of industry is bound to follow the contraction which set in three years ago. Capitalists know opportunities for safe and profit able investment will soon occur. and are eagerly waiting and watching for them. Arkansas has reached a point at which capital has become neces- sity. One new railroad calls for an other. Every projected railroad that reaches the point of finished survey throws open a margin for capital to seize upon and cover Every line of grade stakes is a temptation to capital.
 Will Capital Come?

 "Plaids Flaidsl" say ali thasc who are supposed to know plaids for gowns. plaids for capes and plaids ea. lore for lining. For young misses there is nothing more satisfactory than q smart plaid frock. for either ordinary or dressy wear. If only feshy women would esehew them all would he we'll, but unfortunately the oVer-fat ones never seem to realize their size and deeIa themselves out il such things as should be worn only by their thin sisters.
 Plaid skirts will be worn q great deal with plain, colored bodiees through the early fall.

 Silk shirt waists will be worn all win- fer with separate skirts, beneath the smal-sleeved coats
 White and golden brown is q fetching combination.
 Royal purple is one of the new colors liable to grow into high favor; it com pines beautifully with white, gray or tan.
 A chic gown of tan and black mixed cheviot has a novel arrangement of the bodice; 1t has no seam, being drawn smoothly across the figure over lining of black tatfeta.
 1t is round at the waist and forms q sort of bolero jacket nj the front, open ing over vest of white satin.
 The edges of the waist and collar are bordered with an ineh-wide pattern of black silk braid.
