! HuMoR OF The HOUR.

A mild looking gentleman, wearing
gold eyeglasses. took a seat at a cor
ner table in an up town hotel cafe
and Immediately buried himself in a
newspaper. The place was filed with
the buzz of conversation, and he was
placidly unaware of the fact that q
handsome, middle aged lady with a
masterful cast of countenance had en-
tered almost Immediately after and
seated herself opposite. II have ar
ranged to lunch with those people at
1:30," remarked the lady, picking up
the bill of fare. No sound came from
behind the open paper. The mild
looking gentleman was leisurely per-
using a peace conference cablegram
from The Hague. II said we would
lunch with the Clarks at 1870" re-
peated the lady in a somewhat con-
strained voice, ''and l want you to be
here. Do you understand Still
there was no reply. The masterful
faced lady pressed her lips tight. She
laid down the bill of fare and began
again slowly, with little pauses be
tween her words. Henry" she said,
"I-have- Uniformed you-that--
-we-would"- Suddenly she stopped
Her eyes blazed. II would thank you
to pay some attention to me- she
cried in a high pitched voice and,
reaching swiftly across the table, seiz-
ed the newspaper by the top and
snatched it boldly out of it's owners
hands.
The mild looking man gave such a
jump that he almost went over back
ward. His gold glasses fell off, his jaw
dropped, his eyes bulged and an mar
ticulate sound came out of his open
mouth. Meantime the austere lady sat
transfxed, her arm extended, clutch
ing the paper in midair. This interest
ing tableau was interrupted by a faint
giggle. from a nearby table, where a
portly gentleman had been furtively
watching the little episode described
The lady wheeled around. "Henryr
she exclaimed in a tragic tone, 'how
long have you been thereg 81 just

ut is my humble opinion that the
Cincinnati club is carrying too many
pitchers" said Nichols recently. "a
pitcher cannot do good work unless he
pitches two games week. always
insist on being worked that often
when l am in condition, because
know that l cannot do myself justice
If am allowed to lie around for five
or six days at a time. Seven pitchers
are too many for one team. 1t keeps
the manager figuring too much, and
none of them gets regular work. Two
games a week are just enough to keep
a pitcher in condition. He ought to
have control and everything else when
he is worked that often"

An English wheelwoman has started
an agitation for women instructors in
the cycle academies. She says that they
are better able to instruct others of
their sex because they know the peculi-
arities better and because, having been
through the ordeal themselves, are bet
ter qualified to make suggestions which
will overcome timidity. But she neg

Mutton as Substitute For venison.

The loin Of mutton makes an excel
lent substitute for the saddle of venison
when the latter cannot be obtained. Old
hunters say that the venison is best sod
dened - that is, Drowned first, then
steamed. The following method of deal
ing with mutton chops in the chatting
dish furnishes an imitation not to be
despised: For four thick loin chops,
with most of the fat trimmed off, allow
one level tablespoonful of butter, one
quarter cup of port wine and one des-
sert spoonful currant jelly. Put the but
ter in the outlet pan and allow it to
get very hot-bFown, but not burned.
Sprinkle the chops lightly with salt
and pepper and put in the hot butter.
As soon as they are delicately Drowned
on both sides add the wine and the jelly,
put on the cover of the dish and let
them simmer from eight to ten min
utes or, if very thin, six minutes. Ii
you cook beyond being pink. they become
tough A nice little sauce is made to
serve with this by adding as much more
wine and two tablespo onfuls dried bread
crumbs to the pan after the chops are
taken ID -. NVashin0tDn Star

Proper Adjustment.

Always be sure your wheel is adjust
ed to you in every particular. 1t adds
to the pleasure of riding immeasur-
ably. In adjusting the saddle, get it at
a height which will allow your heel to
just touch the pedals comfortably.
Then when the ball of the foot 10
placed on the pedal the leg is bent suf-
ficiently to give the necessary lever
age In riding centuries, raise or lower
the saddle when the legs become tired

come into action.
