A Word of Commentator.

There is one thing" remarked Miss
Cayenne, about which must say the
former queen of the Hawaiian islands
displays great deal of good, common
sense"
Young Mr.. Washington looked at her
in surprise and said:
Il suppose you can't help feeling a
little tender sympathy for any woman
who finds she can't have everything
she wants.
Miss Cayenne with a look silenced
his efforts to be cynical.
There is a good deal more in a name
than some of the poets would have US
believe, she went on There is moth
ing that annoys me more than TO see a
girl whose name is May. or Katy or
Emma writing it Marie or Katie
or 'Emmie.'"
'Oh, yes was the hearty response;
Il quite agree with YOU. And I'm glad
you changed the subject to something
on which we wouldn't be sure TO diff
fer. Itwas really most tactful of you
Il haven't changed the subject, was
the chilling reply.
But you are talking about girls
who write lie in their names where it

is that possibly Liliuokalani is not

Showed the Duke How to Stop.

During his visit to the United States
the late duke of Marlborough made a
host of friends. His quick eye, unas-
Stunning manner and ability to grasp
easily the many-sided electrical ques-
tions won the honest admiration of the
practical Yankee, whose ideal of an
English duke differed in every way
from the real live British peer. Upon
one occasion, however, the old domi-
neering spirit of the duke gained the
mastery, and he paid for the tenn
pOrary lapse from republican manners
with few good bruises and a rather
severe shaking up of the ducal frame.
The duke was making a tour of in
speetiOn over one of the Chicago cable
lines. and came across a cable car
driver, who was a typical Yankee,
born and bred in the state of Connecti-
cut.
Can you stop the car quickly"
asked his grace.
Il jist recken ye kin bet yer life I
can, Mr. Duke"
How soon?"
In bout two yards" replied the
Yankee.
''Nonsensew sharply exclaimed his
grace. The next moment the duke
was busy picking himself out of a
small sand bank by the side of the
tram line into which the abrupt stop

Sorry she Won.

"You've all read of women who took the place of men and filled the bill, ," said the veteran to the Detroit Free Press, II know of one case that con- yinced me that the two sexes have much in common. Where l first set- tied ill the Southwest there was woman that.ran a gambling joint. She had a good business head, was fine physical specimen of her sex, conducted wonderfully quiet plac9 for those times and never made promise that she did not fulfill. One day . young six footer from Kentucky came into her den looking for a game. It hap pened that the boys were all at horse race and shooting match, so she volun- teered to entertain him at poker till they returned. She was famed for luck, but that day chance played her false: The handsome Kentuckian was reck- less gamester and soon had all the l thousands that she had saved. When the boys gathered about the table he was playing what he lad won against | the ownership of the place. mere were some ominous threats but he gave no sign of noticing them and in one aeaI or tho cards he was proprietor of | the whole outfit The woman was pal lid and her eyes famed, but not a pro

Would it not be profitable under taking for competent person to en- gage in raising garden vegetables of certain kinds under glass near Phoe- nix, Tucson or Prescott? It is true that many of the vegetables, especial Iy those of & hardy nature, may be grown the year round at Phoenix. But when quality is taken into considera- ton those grown under glass are so much superior that once partaken of, the ordinary kinds grown out of doors can not be compared with them. The Director of the Agricultural Experi- ment Station at Tucson has been mak- ing some experiments of that kind and has achieved marked success. Let tuce of several varieties attained large size and were so crisp and tender and had such delicacy of flavor that they would not be taken for the same var ieties grown in the open ground. Tie size too was remarkable, single plants weighing as much as two pounds. The
 same is true respecting tomatoes grown
 under glass.

A Wisconsin judge recently rendered

A Wisconsin judge recently rendered 6 peculiar decision in a libel case. It appears that a citizen of some promin- ence imagined that his reputation had been injured by the publication of speech which he had made st munl- cipal meeting. Accordingly he sued the papers that reported the speech which he was foolish enough to deliver. It was not alleged that thelr reports were untruthful, the complaint of the local statesman was that he did not enjoy reading them. The court held that it was all right for the papers to publish the speech in the city where 1t was made. and for the benefit of the inhabitants thereof, but as the papers. when printed, went out of town among people not directly interested. the mat ter for tbat reason became hbelous. In accordance with this seasoning judg- ment for 8, ,250 was rendered. A mind capable of such hairsplitting must . have osen ground 10 razor edge.-

CANNING AND PRESERVING
Some Timely Directions for Put
 ting up Fruit.

In the August Ladies Home Journal Mrs s. T. Rorer writes On Canning and Preserving" At the outset of her lesson she emphasizes the value of se- curing perfectly sound and fresh fruit, and the necessity of getting the cans and canning sppurtenances in readi- ness in advance. ''To prevent break age when filling the jars" Mrs. Rorer advises that they be slipped "sldewise into a kettle of hot water, rolling them so that every part may be quickly and uniformly heated. Fold damp towel, place 1t Tn the bottom of pudding pan, then near the preserving kettle, stand a jar on the towel. and if the fruit is small adjust the E1GU-i- t. ---i. 10 ove~H0wing. Rum beef-! s.ret around the inside of the Jar. to break any air bubbles that may have been caught with the fruit, and adjust the rubber, then left the lid from the hot water and place it on at once. If large fruit fill with wooden spoon, arrang- ing the fruit so that the weight of one piece will not destroy the shape of an- other. Fill to overhowing with the liquld, water or syrup, and fasten tight ly. After sealing stand the jars out of a draught over night. The glass by that time will have contracted and the lids will, in consequence, be loose. Wipe each jar carefully and give the top an extra turn. Put away in 8 cool not cold, dark closet. At the end of week examine each jar carefully, with out shaking or disturbing more than necessary, If you find the lids slightly indented. the contents free from alr bubbles or froth, and the liquid settled, you may rest assured they will keep, If you do not find it so, open the jars to prevent bursting. Reheat the fruit, being careful to bring it to boiling point, and re-can."
