An exchange came to Us last
week with a blue mark around an
editorial booming candidate for
office.
A printed slip pasted to the pa
per kindly requested us if we said
anything about the candidates
candidacy to send him a marked
copy Of the paper.
We didn't do il.
We amt going to do il.
We amt saying a word.
We amt going To say a word,
Unless
The cash is in sight.
Aud We can see the smile Of the
Goddess OF Liberty ON one side OF
the dollar ofour dads and count the
tail feathers in the great American
eagle on the other.
In times past we have given
away columns Of space and reams
OF paper aud great gobs of ink in a
political campaign.
And what did we get in return.
Nothing but the privilege of wad-
ing in the mud behind the band
wogon and splitting coal oil on our
only coat and getting shot in the tie
with Roman candle.
But times have changed and our
feelings have changed.
Everything has changed except
our pockets
There is no change there.
We are a Democrat, but we amt
no pack mule to carry no candidate
into office and get a cold shoulder,

Now Texas has lost Greer county,
We fought good fight and sent
our Hon. George Clark, our own
George TO Washington. And We dc

turned to see what Dot meant, and
found that the boet had broken from
the bank, and they were floating down
the stream without any oars. Tom
was very much frightened. He remem-
bered his promise to his mother to take
good care of Dot; but he was very
brave little fellow, and did not let Dot
know of his fear.
"Dot, you'll sit very still, won't your"
asked Tom.
Dot promised. Tom wondered il they

But they did not. A kind fishermn

them safe in their arms again that they
didn't scold Tom. They knew he meant
no harm, and Toms fear was his own
punishment. He never ventured into
dangerous places with his little sister
again.-Katie Kyle, in Our Little Ones.

Delicious Pineapple Dessert

A delicious dessert for q dinner or a
sweet dish for luncheon is made from
grated pineapple prepared in the fol-
lowing way: After grating, drain the
fruit by spreading it out on sieve.
Beat the whites of three eggs to a
froth and add to them gradually three
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar; beat
until stiff; then flavor with a spoon
full of orange juice. Whip one pint of
cream and stir or fold it a little at a
time into the egg and sugar mixture.
Add the grated pineapple little at u
time and carefully, and serve in punch
glasses or custard cups with fresh mac
aroons. Serve very cold.

Nice Way to Serve Eggs.

This is the recipe for eggs stuffed
with watercress. 1t is a pretty and pal
atable dish, made by boiling hard as
many eggs as will be needed. Throw
them into cold water, remove the shells
and cut the eggs in halves. Take out
the yolks carefully without breaking
the whites. Add to the yollls teaspoon
full of French mustard, tablespoonful
of melted butter and two teaspoonfuls
of finely-minced ham or tongue and
season with salt and pepper. Rub all to
smooth paste and fill the whites with
the mixture and serve on bed of water
cress

Green, White and yellow.

A charming scheme of decoration for
small dinner table lighted by a hang
ing lamp may be carried out as fol-
lows: A green and white wicker bas-
ket wreathed with trails of asparagus
fern and smilax and filed with white
flowers and ferns, and sprays of ivy and
herberis, hangs from the lamp, the
handle being tied with bright yellow
satin ribbons. The table center is Of
yellow brocade, cut in star shape and
bordered with narrow silver gallon.
Trails of smilax and fern tied with
bows of ribbon are arranged round the
dessert dishes, and silver dishes con-
tanning sailed almonds and bonbons are
placed at the point of the star-shaped
center.-Philadelph Inquirer.

house is to rest. You would wonder
how he could do anything with the tools
he uses, If you could see them. He has
nc saw, or steel-edged AK, but only n
sort of a tomahawlS, made of stone, and
knives of bone or hard wood. When,
however, he has in some way managed
to get the limbs of his tree so cut and
fashioned as to support his house, his
hardest work is done.
The house itself is soon built, and is
made of bamboo strips with palm leaves.
All parts are firmly dashed together
with strips of rattan palm, very tough
vine used by the natives in place of
ropes. 1t is not large house, though
it some times contains several rooms,
but it is safe and secure retreat for the
women and children in case of sudden
attack by hostile tribes.
But as the builder can scarcely expect
his wife and little children, to say moth
ing of his pet pigs, OF which these peo-
pie generally keep one or more with
them in the house, to climb the tree,
he has to provide some way of getting
from the ground to the house. This he
does by making long ladder Of vines,
reaching from the earth to the platform
upon which his house is built If enc
mics appear, the ladder is, of course,
drawn up, and those above rest securely
far out of reach of any weapon known
TO the wild men of New Guinea. These
tree houses also serve for lookouts,
from which to see coming friends or enc
mics in time to prepare suitable re-
ception for either.
There are several good reasons for
building houses so far above the ground
besides those already given; one is that
they are not reached by the low-lying
bad air that in this country causes
fevers and sickness; another that they
are free from ants and mosquitoes, two
terrible plaques throughout New
Guinea; and still another is that the
breeze that gently rocks the house. like
a birds nest, in the tree tops, is much
pleasanter and more refreshing than
the sultry heats below.
II you should climb the ladder and
peep in at the door, you would fird the
family perhaps all asleep or sitting
about on the floor eating yams, cocoa
nuts or bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots or poultry. You
would find there no pictures, toys, or
playthings, such as even the poorest
children amongst us possess, no music
and no books; no furniture in the room,
not even bed, and no mats on the floor.
Many tree-built nest is constructed
with more art, and is more comfortable
for the little ones, who are born in it,
and is far prettier than the rude huts
OF the wild men Of New fuinea.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

The Latest Continuance to Find Its Way
Into the Tyrant's Den.
The modern baby--that is, the silver
spoon-in-the-mouth type of the species
lis the best groomed, most luxurious
little animal eXtant to-day.
His wee realm, over which he sways
the scepter of absolute autocracy and
exercises a will power beside which
hypnotism pales, approaches the Mos
lem heaven in the sybaritic luxury of
its appointments. For many and con-
slant are the requirements of thor
oughly up-to-date baby, and the nurs-
cry, into whose hushed and sacred pre-
cincts none but mammals bosom friends
are ever admitted, is literally lined
with the trophies of inventive genius
and artistic skill which have been inn
pressed into service to conduce to baby's
comfort and happiness.
But once you find the open sesame to
his exclusive "den" and set foot upon
the magic threshold you will find baby's
quarters "study" in both mechanical
and decorative art, while not lacking
in interest as a financial problem. Yes,

set forth in an up-to-date nursery would
quite appall us were we to count the
cost of the several articles. but we don't,
for there is nothing too good for that
little soft mite of humanity; and so it
happens that inventive genius has been
pushed to the limit and can seemingly
go no further in devising nursery and
toilet articles dainty enough, soft
enough and expensive enough with
which his infantile highness may be
suitably groomed. A late continuance
which has found its way into his bower
of diaphanous laces, clouding pillows
and pillows of palest blue-baby's own
color-is a new kind of bathtub, and
when we behold it in it's ideal perfec-
ton and simplicity we can only wonder
that it has not been thought of years
ago, for it promises to do more to in
sure luxurious comfort and lessen the
probability of "squall" on the per-
fumed waters of baby's bath than any
thing yet invented.

The only precaution necessary is to
tap the egg gently every time you de-
sire to place it in any position, so as to
make the sand settle at the bottom, and
the weight of the sand will keep it as
you wish it to be. This is called the
obedient egg.
Now let us tell you how to make the
disobedient egg, with which you may
have even more fun than with the
obedient one. Make the hole in the shell
large enough TO allow you to introduce
half an ounce of fine shot, together
with little powdered sealing wax.
This done, seal up the hole neatly
with white wax, and then warm the egg
gently over the fire. This will give you
u fixed center of gravity in the egg, and
TO matter how you may pretend to
place it, the weight of the shot, held in
a mass by the sealing wax, will drag il

SUMMER DESSERTS.
Dainty Cold Dishes That Are Suitable for
tho Torrid Season.

Dainty Cold Dishes That Are Suitable for
tho Torrid Season.
When certain tropical vagaries on
the part of the weather have made or
binary dishes seem unpalatable, the
housewife will find that the simplest
way to reconcile her family to the din
ner table is by providing dainty des-
serts. There are hundreds of simple
combinations that may be effectively
revived at this season of the year.
One of the most delicious is a simple
rice pudding, frozen. Only half cup
full of rice is required, but this should
be boiled until tender. Then whip to
a froth 11h cupfuls of sweet cream, add
a quarter of n cupful of powdered sugar
and flavor with sherry, maraschino or
vanilla. Mix the rice and cream, put
in mold, and pack in a freezer several
hours before serving.
Cooks who know the possibilities of
the often despised rhubarb make use
of it for an excellent summer dessert.
Wash and cut in small pieces pound
of rhubarb. Cook until tender, sweet,
ening meanwhile with eight ounces Of
sugar. Then add one-fourth of box
OF gelatine that has been soaked in a
fourth of n cupful of cold water. Whip
the mixture well, turn into a mold and
when cold serve with yellow custard
sauce.
Fruit desserts are not only popular,
but healthful, and should be served
frequently in warm weather. Oranges
are available in variety of ways, or
angc sponge being particularly deli
cious. To prepare the sponge, squeeze
the juice and pulp of three oranges into
bowl, add the juice of half lemon.
three ounces of sugar, ~ pints of cold
water. After this has boiled, strain it,
add two tablespoonfuls of corn starch
dissolved in cold water, and boil fifteen
minutes more. Then set the mixture
aside for time, and afterwards place
it in the ice-box until quite cold. Beat
to foam the whites of three eggs, whip
this into the corn starch and then serve
in fancy cases.--N. Y. World.

Reliable Cure for Bee stlngs.

1t is well known that liquid ammonia
relieves the effects of the stiDgs of bees.
A much more effectual antidote is the
mixture known as ammoniated tincture
of quinine. On several occasions, when
stung by bees, it was found that the
quinine mixture would give much
quicker and greater relief than ann
monia alone.
