You and I'll have our Thanksgiving
together. That extra chop will be
wanted after all, and I'm going to
make riz biscuits"
She put away her bonnet and shawl
and hung the basket on nail IN the
Darkroom without even looking at the
contents, though Tommy Barnes
watched her keenly with a shrewd sus-
picion of something good, and faint
hope which nothing in his past expe-
rience justified that he might come in
for share Of it, Miss Matte was ac-
customed to being alone, and she
scarcely thought of Tommy, as she
trotted about, setting the sponge for
her biscuits in pint bowl, putting q
little cup of broth on the stove to
warm for her supper, making her tea,
toasting her bread, and at last sitting
down by the table in the little green
chair with patchwork cushion. Up
TO this point Tommy had sat quietly
by the fire, having learned by many
severe lessons that little folks should

the delicious odor was too much for
his fortitude. and with one bound he
sprung into her lap.
"Bless me-" said Miss Matte, 'if I
hadn't clean forgot you, and you half
starved, dare say. There, get down.
I never could abide cats around my
victuals."
She put Tommy gently on the floor,
crumbled some bread into the bowl of
broth. cooled it carefully and set it
down for him to eat.
''It's pretty rich for me anyway"
she said, as she made out her supper
with toast and tea.
1t was perhaps well for Tommy that
he took an early promenade next
morning around the back yards of the
neighborhood, and secured several
valuable tid-bits, for Miss Matte had
very little to offer him. She baked
her delightful little puffs Of biscuits,

Roasting Coffee.

In Norway, where superb coffee is
made, bit OF butter is added to the
beans while they are roasting in the
covered shovel used there for that pur-
pose. In France as we'll q piece of
butter the size OF walnut is put with
three pounds OF coffee beans and also
a dessertspoonful Of powdered sugar.
This brings out the flavor and, more
over, gives the slight carmel taste
which is so greatly admired.

it seemed dishonor to all her happy
past not To have something special on
Thanksgiving; and 80 she had feel.
ing Of real pity for it, lying there
warm and snug in her palm, and so
soon to go tumbling into the heap of
clashing, iingling coins tossed about
by the butchers greasy fingers, or
perhaps into the pocket Of that hor.
rible apron with blood-stains on it,
Miss Matte shuddered, but quickly
recovered herself to say, cheerfully:
ooh, thank you, Mr.. Simmons; but
don't You think ducks are a sight Of
trouble, what with the stuffing and the
roasting and needing to be looked
after and basted regular? made up
my mind to something simple, and I
don't know anything that's easier got
or more relishing than lamb chops.
Two lamb chops is about what l
thought of, Mr.. Simmons. You know
there's only me-"
Mr.. Simmons had not seen the FIVE
cent piece, but he understood just as
we'll as il he had, and he began to cut
the chops at once, talking all the time
TO relieve his own embarrassment and
assuring Miss Matte that "if folks
only knew it, there was nothing like
lamb chops to encourage your appe-
tite and strengthen you up all over. 4"
But you'll have to take three
chops" looking curiously at the money
Miss Matte laid in his big hand. "or
I'll have to make change, and change
is scarcer than hens teeth tonight.
You might have COMPANY unexpected,
you know, and an extry chop would
com. in handy"
Miss Matte laughed so genially
that the market man ventured to slip
a sweetbread and n bunch of yellow
celery into the basket on the sly. He
would have loved to put in the duck,
but that would have looked as il he
suspected her reason for not buying
it, and, bless you, he knew better
than that. Some people have feel

Removing Stains From Silver.


To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect. use sulphuric acid, rub
biag it on with q little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingrained stains,
the pulp of lemon, whose juice has
been used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, as both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
or lines. 1t may be as we'll to warn
housekeepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such consideration, that,
where one has to reheat food in sill

The Type of Fever So Mild THAT
Many Physicians Doubt Its Gem
uineness.
Mobile, Ala, Sept. 21-Thls was another
day of favorable report. There was only
one new case reported, a child named
Willie Goodloe, living in the infected dis
trict. One patient was discharge. leav-
ing under treatment twenty-eight, all Of
whom are progressing favorably There
have been but three deaths and none since
yesterday.
SO many of the reported cases have fail
ed to further develop the yellow fever
characteristics that not a few Of the doc
tors seem disposed to doubt the correct
ness of the diagnosis, and one of the most
experienced of the doctors has been heard
to say that he would not report any more
cases as suspicious. He waited until the
character of the case became unmistake-
able.
DR.. T. o. Sommers Of the marine hos
pital service has spent two days here. He
made two trips to the persons sick with
the fever, and his opinion is that there is
an exceedingly mild type of yellow fever
here, all the characteristics being present,
but in exceedingly mild FORM, so mild in
deed that if there had not been the suspi-
! cion raised by the outbreak at Ocean
Springs, the symptoms would probably
have passed unnoticed. He is enthusiastic
in his praise of the way the board has
fought the disease. and OF the general
| cleanliness Of the city
Comparing the condition with what 1t
was on the occasion of his last visit here
in 1888 he finds it a wonderful improve
ment.
Traffic is picking up daily despite The
| rigid quarantine maintained. The Mobile
/ and Birmingham road to-day got through
/ q train with local and through cotton and
some through freight for the first time
/ since the 12tn.
The first lot of refugees from the Mis-
/ sissippi sound coast got in this morning

The week has been favorable for ripen-

South Atlantic states, 1t has been too dry
for fall plowing and the seeding of fall
grain.
The exceptionally warm weather of The
first half Of the month matured corn rapi-
dly and has placed nearly the whole crop
beyond injury from frost. Owing to
droughty conditions in some Of the more
important states, the grain, particularly
the late crop, did not fill wen, and the re-
ports indicate that much will be chaffy.
Cutting has progressed rapidly under fav-
orable conditions, and in some OF the
more important corn states will be prnc-
tically completed by the end of September.
Cotton has continued to open very rapid
ly, and picking has been vigorously carried
on. The reports indicate that much tho
greater part Of the crop over the central
and eastern portions Of the cotton belt is
