Ten Dollars a Week for Eight

1t does not seem possible that the
table for eight people can be pro
vided for ten dollars a week. But Mrs.
Rorer, the most famous cook In
America, says it can be done. She
has tried it and knows. She proves
her case in 7He Ladies' Home Journal
for October. She gives twenty-one
menus covering weeks meals, and
gives full, practical directions by
which any woman can make as at
tractive meals as Mrs. Rorer explains,
for this small sum of ten dollars.

KAISER WOULD BE A GAR.
Espionage on His Subjects Keeps
Their Tongues Tied.

There is something specially degrad-
ng about espionage, especially when
oracticed by national government, as
t is in Germany This was brought
very wildly before me by the follow
pg incident: One day there dined with
me, in a public restaurant in Berlin,
an aged clergyman and his wife. The
former had occupied the same pulpit for
over 40 years, had proved father to his
parish, had been leader in many lib
sral movements, and in all ways had
served his country nobly; while the
latter had for the same length of time
been a very great blessing to her neigh
borhood for many leagues around. In
the course of conversation | asked him
how he felt about the emperor's pol
cy.
Before replying to me, he turned and
looked anxiously about him in all di-
.ections, and then said: IF Fritz had
lived ten years longer things would
awe been different" When 1 asked:
Were you looking about for anything
he said: mo; but one never knows
who may be listening; and it would go
hard with me If it were known that
[ expressed such opinions" To my sur
prise, l then learned that Berlin was
hull of spies of all sorts, ready 10 catch
md report to the authorities the slight
est word rejecting unfavorably upon
the emperor, his family, or his actions;
and that on such reports many persons,
especially young men, had been seized
by the police and kept in prison for
months-one, because. in the heat OF
discussion, he had said the emperor was
a schafslopf When I asked my guests
what they thought of such system,
they looked mysterious and declined

Allen. One had eight ard the other

ten.
Well, now. one of the reasons is that
all of those families came from old
Gwinnett, and most of the children were
from that old Sammons stock that
lived on Alcovy creek when was a boy.
The first couple ever saw married out
side of my fathers house WAS Jim
Dunlap and Rebecca Sammons. and Jim
outmarried himself when he got her.
That was an old-fashioned country
wedding, and it was a big one. They
had turkeys and roast pigs and pound
cake amazing, and they had thousand
dollar candlesticks all about, for every
likely negro boy had a torch. But
my wife and left there 46 years ago,
and did not know that these good peo-
pie had had so many children. May
all such be perpctuated. And l have
a good letter from Buena Vista, tell
ing of old DIR. Reese, who has raised
seven boys and two girls, and they are
all good, sober, industrious, Christian
children, and had gentle, kind, loving,
Christian mother, who is now among
the angels. That is it, after all-the
mother-the mother-the gentle, kin !,
loving, Christian mother.

DR.. George f. Schrady, of New York,
has recently published an article which
brings forcibly before the mind the
great progress recently made in medical
science. In surgery one of the great
est advances is made in cleanliness.
Physicians formerly tried to kill poison
in wounds, now their efforts are to pre-
vent its entrance. The recent wonder
full operations have only been made
possible by the new knowledge of an
tiseptic surgery. DR.. Sehrady mentions
the services of the Roentgen rays and
the advantages given by use of cocaine.
He speaks of the discoveries in baeteri-
ology, but warns the fearful they are
not in danger of consumption and other
diseases every time they breathe their
microbes. A healthy person has little.
to fear in this direction. DR.. Schrady
thinks the agreeable forms of medicine
to-day a sign of progress.

about two weeks, and the people had
got worked up by this time to that

Now in the main time Buck Ridge
way is one of the most peacefuilest
men have ever saw, and up to that day
he never had showed his hand in the
fight TO any serious extent He was
raley on the wet side, but he didn'tgiye

BICYCLE ACCIDENTS.
Considering the Number of Wheels
Used They Are Rare.

Considering the great number Of
bicycles in use throughout the world,
the accidents resulting therefrom are
exceedingly few. Nevertheless, there
are many who have an abnormal idea
OF the bicycle, and seem to think it is
an exceedingly hazardous vehicle for
conveyance or diversion.
The far west has a most unenviable
reputation as a dangerous country for
the reason that every murder, hanging
or shooting affair is so greatly distorted
and talked about that it leaves a vivid
impression upon every one. People will
turn out for miles around to take part
in "lynching bee" or 'necktie party"
and the news of same travels with in
credible rapidity, gaining some new
phase at every turn, until the fact of one
poor man having been hung up by the
neck assumes the proportions of 20 or
80 bloody assassins having been hung,
and conveys the idea of the most hor-
rible butchery on very grand scale.
Bicycle accidents are so uncommon
that interest and comment in all acct
dental occurrences in which it plays a
part arc more generally noted by news.
papers and news gatherers than any
other incidents of similar character,
which merely repeat long familiar ex-
periences and are hardly noted by the
public. 1t must also be borne in mind
that gross carelessness by thoughtless
persons causes most Of the accidents
for which the wheel is held responsible.
The rider who has become proficient
only on the smooth floor Of hall where
he has taken lessons is almost sure to
underrate the embarrassments TO be
encountered in public thoroughfare.
lie does not appreciate the difficulties
of controlling his machine on sloping
surface, of passing safely through
crowded street, or of coasting. Even n
skilled rider should keep informed OF
the condition of his machine, as an I'M
obtrusive defect, such as loose nut
for example, may lead to serious re-
suits.
Cheapness in bicycles necessarily sig
rifies inferior materials and poor work
manship, and these are the machines
that increase the number of accidents,
and for which purchasers should be
less responsible than those by whom
they have been deluded. A good, trust
worthy bicycle of well-known standard
manufacture is safest and best, and
though more expensive in the beginning,
in the end is an economical purchase,
one that the buyer should take adj
vantage of and that the experienced
cyclist can best appreciate.
The Van Buren press., 1897-05-29

1t was funny to me the way Buck
would slide over the great question Of
the day and make it around safe to the
home base every time. In town that
day long, tall, red-headed man walked
up to me and Buck and shook his fist in
Bucks face.
wet or dry-which?" says the long,
tall man.
"That is the mainest question" says
Buck. But now, stranger, dadblame
it, you say first"
Naturally, of course, when the stran-
ger said, and then Buck he said. it come
to pass that both of them had said the
same thing. And the white flag of peace
still waved in triumph over the broad
and fertile bosom of the land which

plenty of good people livin there. But
the railroad men and the drummers

places it was six with one and half q
dozen with the other two.
One night l took the railroad train
Mt Houston and started up the country.
A young man likewise also got on board,
which from general appearments had
climbed up around various and sundry
drinks. Anybody could tell that he
would need a jug before he could take
any more. When the train pulled out
the Young man was fast asleep. The
conductor come around presently and
tried TO wake him up, but it was all
vanity and vexation. By-and-by, when
the train had run some 40 or so miles
the young man responded slightly to
the shakin and woke up in a measure.
"Give me your ticket" says the con-
ductor.
"Ain't got no ticket" says the young
man.
