webster and Clay Raise the wina

The recollections of John Sherman,
the tallest and thinnest man in Con-
gress, do not embrace the best story
of Webster and Clay. Both We're great
money-makers. and both were forever
in the hardest financial straits. One
day Clay went to Webster and said:
Got any money, Dan? l want $3.50"
Il was going over to borrow that
amount Of YOU" said Webster. Il am
dead broke"
"Worier where we can raise It? We
need $500 between u.s."
They formed themselves In commit
tee of ways and means, and after much
thought evolved n plan.
"Clay. II you will make a draft on
me nj thirty days l will indorse it. and
we can get the money at the bank
The draft is In a Washington bank
at this day. bearing both signatures.
The two "old boys" got the money and
the next day were skirmishing around
for rnore.-New York Press.

The London papers are telling an
amusing incident OF the Prince OF
Wales visit to Canada thirty seven
years ago. ON his Journey through the
provinces large number OF petitions
and addresses OF welcome were pre-
scented TO him from every class aud So
ciety. One address sent by the lum-
berers and raftsmen OF the Ottawa
Valley concluded with the words:
Long may you remain Prince OF
Walesw
This very doubtful compliment was
no slip OF the pen. for when the fore
man of the raftsmen was questioned
ON the subject. he declared that the ad-
uress meant exactly what It said:
1--WE are perfectly satisfied with the
queen. and want her TO remain on the
throne as long as she can"
In view of the queens jubilee. this
former raftsman. Mr.. Alan Manson,
wrote the other day to the prince. re.
minding him Of the incident, and re
celved the. following reply:
His royal highness perfectly remem
bers the incident to which you refer
His royal highness greatly appreciate,
and thanks you for your kind and loya
sentiments, aud he viii not fail to max,
them known to the queen"

The best scheme for a picnic or lunch
basket is to have no basket at all. but
to substitute 1t by a number of boxes
shoe boxes, II not too large-strapped
together with a shawl strap. These are
easily carried, and can be thrown aside
when lunch is over. Line the boxes
with oiled paper. and let one contain
sandwiches another cake, another
cups, napkins and such necessities.
They can thus be kept fresh and open
ed as desired, and altogether are an
Improvement on the basket, where
things start in compartments and fin

Making Lemon Flavor.

An old housekeeper says it is by far
the best plan to make ones own lemon
flavoring for cakes and buildings. Be
fore cutting lemon to extract the
juice. wash and wipe 1t with soft
cloth; then CRATE of all the delicate
yellow skin, not taking any of the
white bitter part. Place the grated
peel in wide-mouthed bottle and Gov
er It thickly with graduated sugar.
Keep the bottle tightly corked. The
sugar becomes saturated with the oil
from the peel, and when used in place
of extracts gives most delicious
flavor.

The life OF a farmer has often been
called a life Of drudgery. There Is no
occupation that has larger ratio Of in
spiriting labor to one whose tastes are
in harmony with rural life. The weak
point in American farming has been
the lack of appreciation OF the equip.
ments necessary to successful career
Too many OF them have been willing tc
be thieves of the soils resources, that
they might swell their bank accounts

After a San Diego man procured a
divorce. from his wife the other day,
he went home and found her there. She
asked him to sit down to dinner, after
which she asked him how he liked the
new arrangement. "First-rate," he re-
piled, but l can't understand It,"
"Oh, that's all right" said she; 1--WE
can live this way in contentment. The
other way we quarrel. Now, then, sup
pose you retain me as housekeeper?
Twenty dollars per month and board is
all l ask" This struck the ex-husband
favorably. and the bargain was closed
on the spot. The couple have not had
a sign of trouble since, although they
were in hot water for thirty-two years,
fretting under the marital yoke. They
dare not quarrel much now, for fear
one will leave the other in lurch. He
must have his meals cooked, and she
must have a place to stay. Together
they are happy now, and the bargain
promises to last to the end.-Tribune.

a local authority on photography
says: "A veil imparts patchy appear
ance to the face. Gloves make the
hands appear much larger than they
are in reality. 1t is unwise to wear
new dress; it always falls in backward
folds. Whenever possible, it is money
well spent to drive to the photogra-
piers. A feather boa or a lace fichu
has wonderfully softening effect on
the features. Generally speaking, the
head and shoulders take n far prettier
picture than a full length portrait.
Above all, if you want your sun picture
to have n natural expression you must
forget where you are. Unless there
is any urgent reason for it, it is a great
mistake to be photographed If you are
either out of health or in low spirits. A
just-the-mode-o f-the-moment style Of
costume or couture viii date the pho
tograph, and soon make It look out OF
fashion. A white dress, or one that
takes white, gives a CHASTITY effect, and
one far from becoming. unless the sitter
is young and pretty"

willing to pay for her. When that
important question Is settled feast is
arranged at the home of the bride, and
the friends of both families are invited.
When the company is assembled the
womans people extol the greatness OF
their family. The young mans mar
riage gifts are spread out where they
will make fine show. and then his
family sound their praises. The cere-
mony lasts from one to two days, and
finally the young bridegroom takes his
wife to his own abode.
