Shad Roe Salad.

Shad will soon be at it's very cheap
est, and when a fine one is to be served
for dinner, the most delicious salad
imaginable may be made from the roe.
This salad has the tenderness and firm
ness of spring chicken, with a flavor
that suggests lobster, yet with more
"smack." For those who are obliged
to deny, themselves the latter, this will
be found to possess it's good qualities
without fear of indigestion. To pre-
pare, wash set of roes, cover with
boiling water, add a small teaspoon Of
salt and stew gently but surely for 20
minutes. Drain, put in a cold place to
become firm, make one-half pint of
mayonnaise and put this aside to "set."
Just before dinner. remove the skin
from the roes, cut with silver knife
in thin slices or in dice as preferred.
Rub the salad bowl with the heart Of
AN onion, arrange the roe in alternate
layers with crisp heart lettuce leaves,
sprinkled at the last moment with lit
tie salt; spread the mayonnaise over
all, and it is ready to serve. The cut
up roe may have a French dressing (oil,
vinegar, salt and pepper) stirred
through it just before using, If liked.

Father John Collins.

The following, taken from the Youths
Companion, refers to Rev. John Collins,
the grandfather of Hon. 9. H. Collins,
OF this city. Father Collins was the
pioneer of Methodism in this section.
He preached the first Methodist sermon
at Ripley, and the first at Cincinnati.
He was once resident of Hillsboro, and
Presiding Elder for this district He
was powerful preacher, and an earnest
and fearless man of God, and made his
indelible mark on the early history of
Ohio. The Youths Companion says:
No better tribute to the earnestness
and eloquence of Father Collins, the
we'll known Methodist preacher, was
ever given than that which came from
the lips of the famous lawyer, Thomas
Corwin, on one occasion.
Father Collins was holding series of
meetings in a town in Ohio, during a
session of Court in the place, and many
of the lawyers wandered into his meet.
ings, moved, perhaps, more by curiosity
than religious feeling. Mr.. Corwin was
one of the listeners to the earnest Meth.
odist, and being asked for his opinion of
the preacher, gave it in no measured
terms.
SIN earnest !" said he, in answer to a
friends query. II should say he was
Why, when he'd talked awhile, he just
said Gomez to some of the men standing
back where was, and they marched up
in front, as meek as lambs, whether they
wanted to go or not, sir"
| "Did YOU go ?" asked his friend, cur
iously.
"No, l didn't" replied Mr.. Corwin,
slowly, "but can tell you one thing: I
was standing by one of the pillars in the
vestry, and he looked right down at me
and said Come! and if hadn't kept a
good hold on that pillar 1 should have
gone, that's one thing sure! And as it
was, you'd better believe the next time
he said Come = didn't dare look up to
see whether he meant me or somebody
else !"

A neighboring exchange says: Last
week young lady from Bardstown,
KY, entered the postoffice and asked
If there was letter there for her. Be.
ing answered in the negative, she sighed
deeply; whereupon a drummer who
happened to be standing by, although
a stranger to the lady, ventured the re.
mark, Sigh on, poor heart but do not
break" The lady quickly responded
as she Indignantly walked out of the
Office, "Think on poor fool, but do not
speak" The drummer took back seat
and for the first time in ten years was
silent full quarter of minute.

Civil service as exemplified in the
Grover Cleveland ideal is delusion and
fraud. Thousands OF exultant Demo.
Gratis are holding positions today, by his
edict, for which they underwent no civil
service examination, and will be requir.
ed to undergo none. There are thous.
ands OF Republicans far more competent,
who are barred by the partisan edict of
a Democratic President. After all, there
was something of sturdy common sense
and sound justice in the Jacksonian idea
that the victors were entitled to the
spoils. The Republican party has proven
itself the better manager OF the Nations
business affairs. Why should the details
of its policy be entrusted for execution
in the hands OF it's enemies? While the
theory of civil service is very pretty, its
Democratic application has been the
rankest among all the rank frauds of the
four years past.

This will be free country when
every citizen can hold any opinion on

The Princeton, Indiana, Clarion very
aptly remarks:
Mayor-elect Harrison, of Chicago, in
speaking OF his proposed action in turn.
ing out of Office the appointees of his
Republican predecessor, says: 81 think
that when man has been appointed to
Office as reward for services rendered
his party, he should quit and retire from
Office when his administration goes out
of power" And Mayor Harrison is right
There are several thousand Office holders
that came into place under President
Cleveland's administration, not because
of qualifications superior to those whom
they displaced, but because they had
rendered service to the party to which
Cleveland belonged These partisan of
fee holders were all made secure in their
places by Cleveland's extension of the
civil service during the last months of
his administration, and now there are
mugwumps in Congress and in control
of newspapers who insist that this is
civil service reform. The people by an
overwhelming vote turned the Cleveland
party out of power, but these other Of
ticials, who have been anointed with
Cleveland's civil service JUNCTION are

The Alamo.

"Thermopylae had messenger Of defeat,
The Alamo had none"
30 reads the legend by the State inscribed
Upon the granite stone.
The slain who filed the Alamo,
Gave freedom new Lirth,
And from that day Of sacrifice,
Belonged to all the earth.
And ever high on honor's scroll
Shall fadeless names abide,
OF the patriots who bravely fought,
And here for freedom died.
In the City's lovely plaza,
In the glamour Of the uight.
Mid the sparkle of the fountains,
With the Alamo In sight,
Beneath the green Of China trees,
Upon the classic ground,
And where the roses blooming grow
In oil the seasons round,
A pilgrim to the Alamo
Now muses. on its story,
How Crockett, Bowie, Travis fell
And gained immortal glory.
Till love of country fades away
In sordid greed for gain,
The story Of the Alamo,
Shall ne'er be told in vain,

A prominent western newspaper rec.
ommends fax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when this remedy'is given.
There is no danger in giving it to small
children, as it is pleasant syrup and
contains nothing injurious. For sale at
