SALAD CHEER.
1t Costs But Very Little to Make This
the Most Toothsome Dish of
the Menu.

Now, in very truth no table-subject
is easier of management than that of
salads, and the average house the year
round is rarely without material for
that enjoyable dinner or luncheon
course, if the housekeeper did but re-
alize it.
One may object: ST have no OIL" or
Il do not like OIL" No matter; a de-
iightful salad may still be enjoyed.
People in large or small cities who fol-
low the habits of the world at large, or
who have been born to an apprecia-
ton of good living, use salads as freely
as soups or desserts; but people who
live plainly, with rigid economy. or on
the hit or miss" plan Of housekeep-
ing, for the most part leave the salad
question severely alone. Take from
the list of summer vegetables corn,
eggplant, okra, radishes and squash,
and all remaining are available for
salads. The fact that some require
preliminary cooking points to the
economical using of vegetables left
over from the day before. Suppose
one finds cupful of beans in the ice
box and another of young carrots.
Deity mix the two, place spoonfuls on
lettuce-leaves and arrange on plat
ter; make some mayonnaise or a
dressing not requiring oil, and you
have pretty and very enjoyable salad
course. Now there are two very diff
ferent salads, both excellent, made
from the leftover vegetables named,
and quite entitled to the high-sound-
ing designation, "Salade Macedonia"
See what you have on hand left over
add more things if you wish, but get
away with the idea that you must have
certain things. Two proper ingredi-
ents will make the dish, a dozen will
also make it, and both will be good.
Always have care that the vegeta-
bles are cold and perfectly tender if
cooked; fresh, cold and crisp if I'M
cooked. The latter must be washed
and thoroughly dried; if not, the water
will collect in the bottom of the dish
and ruin any dressing used. Drying is
most easily accomplished by putting
in large napkin, gathering the cor
ners together and whirling rapidly
back and forth. No variety of dress
ing should be added to tender veg
etable salad until just before serving.

ASSERTED HIS COLORS.
A Nebraska Soldier Boy Who was
Strong in the Defense of
His own Blue.

Somewhere in this city is man-1et
us hope there Is but one--who does not
wish success to the boys in blue. But
he is not feeling so well to-day as he
felt the other morning.
1t happened in wet-goods store
over near Camp Merritt. In the first
place, the only occupant of the room.
aside from the barkeeper. was a tall,
swarthy, dark-complexioned man. Ap-
parently he had been drinking just
enough to make him ugly and he
looked about as vicious an individual
as one ever runs across.
Soon there entered a Nebraska
sergeant. He was a dapper little man
of hardly more than 5h feet in height
and he looked as neat as if he had just
stepped out of a handbook instead OF
out Of tent where dirt is particular
ly close at hand. Evidently he was
social little chap, too, for he asked
the barl1eeper to drink with him, and
as they lifted the glasses of foaming
beer to their lips, he proposed toast.
Here's to the success of the boys
in blue"
ITO HI with the boys in blue!'
1t was the big swarthy fellow who
spoke.
Like a flash the little sergeant
turned on him.
did you speal1?" he said
"That's what L did. I said to h"
He did not say it again, for straight
from the soldiers shoulder shot a
blue-sleeved arm, and the fist at the
end of it took the burly ruffian fairly
and squarely under the chin, He
dropped to the floor as If he had been
hit by a battering ram.
Then the dapper little sergeant
picked up his glass again and once
more said:
Here's to the success of the boys
in blue
Bat before he and the barkeeper
drank the toast, he paused just one
moment, turned to the fellow, who was
just picking himself up from the floor,
and said:
did I understand you to say any
thing?"
And the big bully said not a word
{ = he skunk from the room like the
whipped cur that he was.

in Nebraska, and that state is not
alone in producing them.-San Fran
