Wished to BE Prepared

Il wish, my DEAR" said Mr.. Frank
fort to his wife, that you would let
the hired man bring my rifle down
from the attic while l get some other
things ready"
Your ritie?' she repeated. Sure
ly you are not going hunting?"
''Not at ALL"
AS he spoke he took a bowie knife
from its sheath and began to sharpen
it carefully on a milestone.
What is that knife for?" asked his
wife.
well, hope shall not have occa-
sloD to use it. but it is best to be pre-
pared"
AS he said this he examined his sew
en- shot revolver. and filled the side
pocket of his coat with cartridges. Ry
this time the hired man had brought
the rifle. and Mr. Frankfort made sure
that he had good supply of ammuni-
ton for the weapon"
"My DEAR" begged his wife, won't
you tell me what all this means? You
say you are not going hunting. What
do you need of all these weapons?"
my darling" replied the brave man,
do not be anxious. It is more than
probable that shall return alive, but
If not you will find my will made, and
my life insurance policy is valid. Kiss
me, dear, and hope for the BEST
"But where, oh where, are you 60
ing?"
Have you forgotten that 1 am a

And before she could protest the
brave man had snatched a kiss from
her pale forehead and departed.-Lou-

English buyers consider sirloin the king
steak of the market, and when cut thick
and cooked rare, it takes nothing less than
a first-clas porterhouse to eclipse it,
The fact that the sirloin varies from
10 to IS cents a pound and the porter
house from 20 to % cents, signifies the
precedence that the latter has taken.
Both may be ruined, however, and gen
orally are. by well-intentioned cooks, who
dress them with butter for the blind reason
that other cooks before them have done
so since the year /. Butter has one flavor
and steak another. When combined the
