Smiths Cake.

"Msdam, you don't know how to
make cakep exclaimed Mr.. Smith,
throwing lump of half.cooked dough
across the room at the cat. "You never
knew how TO make cake. I'd rather eat
wet sawdust. You ought to have seen
the cake my mother made. That was
cake"
"Your mother again-always your
motherl' retorted Mrs. Smith. "Pity
she didn't teach you something"
"What do you mean, madam? I'll
warrant III make better cake myself
than you any day."
"Why don't you try? You'll find
everything in the kitchen"
"Well, l can"
"Well, why don't your You are all
talkp
Smith found himself cornered, and
felt very uncomfortable, as he had
either to surrender Internationally or
to make good his boast. He had never
made cake in his life, had no idea
how cakes were compounded, but
thought he knew what was in them.
"I'll make the cake" he said.
"Well, come into the kitchen and
make it," proposed his wife.
"What, now?"
Eyes, now. I'll get the things for
you"
Smith took off his coat, his collar and
necktie and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
They walked to the kitchen together,
and Smith said:
"What shall mix it in2"
"Oh, you're doing it," Mrs. Smith re-
piled.
"Ah, this will do" he said, taking up
bowl. "Now bring me some water,
now some raisins and currants, sugar
and ginger and alspice. There, that
will do" He put them all into the
bowl and mixed them with spoon.
"They don't seem to stick together"
he said "Looks more like a thick
soup than anything else. Fancy I've
got too much water" Smith drained
off some of the water and was about to
put the cake into pan, when his wife
said:
"Didn't your mother use fiour?"
"Oh, yes-yes-ah, yes-hour, OF
course" Then he mixed in -four until
it was so stiff that he could hardly
knead it. Now" said he, "l'll take
this cake round to the bakers and have
it baked properly" He started off, and
when he reached the bakers he said:
"Will you just throw this stuff away
and put in its place one of your best
plum cakes?"
"That night at supper Mrs. Smith
had her mother and sister with her.
She had told them of the cake, and
they were expecting great fun at Smiths
expense. The cake did not come until
supper time. Smith took it from the
boy and said:
"This is my cake-something like a
cake" He carried in the cake and
placed it on the table.
"Here's a note in the paper" said
Mrs. Smith. "I'll resd it:
DEAR SIR-I am sorry we are all out of
plum cake, 80 1 send you pound cake in
stead. Yours obediently,
8. Brown, Baker"
