ESPECIALLY were the leading law
yers and Judges strong favorers Of the
chewing brands, and mighty good
judges, too. There was Southern
firm bought some plug of well-known
Atlanta jobber, and later refused 60
pay for the goods, the plea being that
the tobacco was damaged. The case
came up before the leading Judge of
the region, who listened gravcly to
the arguments, and then asked that a
sample be given him, Of which he took
a generous bite, and sat in silence for
nearly FIVE minutes chewing it, while
counsel watched the up-and-d down
movement Of his jaws. Then the
oracle spoke: Damaged to the extent
Of thirteen cents pound, and judg-
ment for the plaintiff was given ac-
cordingly.
"This was nearly equalled by a
Scotch Judge, Lord Deas, who died

bacco permeated the room, and being

Lillian walker .Clubbed..

On Thursday, March 9th, inresponse
to invitations issued by Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. King, all of the relatives of the
interested. parties assembled at their
residence to witness the ceremony
which united in marriage Mr.. Oliver
3. Club and Mrs. Lillian Walker. At
the appointed hour, the two who were
to form the happy union tripped grace
fully into the parlor to the dulcet
tones of the wedding march played by
Mrs. I. j. Brown, and while standing
in the bay window took upon them
selves the solemn and binding VOWS.
The Rev. 7. j. Brown performed the
ceremony in his usual genial manuer
and the twain were made one. The
bride wore her travelling gown of dark
tan trimmed with braid and silk to
match. The groom was dressed as all
grooms are.
The elegant feast that followed was
spread by four handsome maidens who
performed the duty pleasantly, no
doubt thinking other hands would
soon be doing for them what they were
doing for their friends.
Oliver Club was reared on the farm
near this city. He is one of the most
substantial msn of the community.
He is a business man regarded as
among those classed as solid, both in
his mental makeup and his dealings.
He is a good citizen, whom any young
woman might be honored to have as a
husband.
Lillian Walker is also a growth of
this territory. She was a bright girl, a
quick scholar, taught school whom she
was sixteen years old, and has kept
steadily at this employment in re-
sponsible positions in Hot Springs
and Deadwood schools in South Dako-
ia for twelve years. OF graceful figure
and name r and most pleasing address.
That Oliver should have been capti-
waited when Cupid's darts were let fly
from her way is not surprising. The
match is a good one, and every
friend not only wishes but expects a
happy and prosperous future for this
union.
AS soon rs the refreshments were
through with Mr.. and Mrs. Club left
for Chicago via Petosi under a shower
of rice and best wishes. In about two
weeks they will return to Lancaster
and remain until Lear the first of May.
The summer will be passed here and
in South Dakota, and next fall they
will settle down to realities of life, at
home. Mr.. Club has a fine farm a
little way out of Lancaster.-Lancas-
ter (Wis.) Teller.

DELICIOUS APPLE L

Live and learn I'VE are never
too old to learn" These we're the re-
marks made to me a few days ago.,
when I was telling how l had seen
some n make apple jelly. And so
| will pass it along, hoping it may
benefit some one. The incest Jelly,
and the finest tasting, is made from
apples that have been pared and cored,
but II made from impaired apples,
choose a yellow or green colored apple.
The Grimes Golden is the best variety.
Stew a granite kettleful of prepared
apples owe q rather slow fire in water
enough to cover, 80 they will not burn,
and stew a long time, three-fourths Of
All hour at les S g., so the apples will go
TO pieces, and the juice gains a milky
color. Tnen drain eff the juice into q
new tin pail, and put enough water
over to make the pulp rather thin,
place over a low fire, and mash and stir
until it comes to a boil for a few min
utes, then pour all into a j9lly bag and
hang up to drain cver the pail. When
cool enough to handle, squeeze With
the hands until dry, and the good is all
out of the pulp. It is best to have sew
eral kettles cooking at one time, filling
the pail with juice as fast as obtained.
When full, set away in a cool place
until the following day.
Now here is where you will think I
am wrong, but l am not. In the morn
ing this lice will have settled. Pour
off the clear juice, measure in a pint
cup, put in granite iron kettle, and
place on a stove. While it is heating
measure and add the sugar, allowing
three fourths of a pint of sugar for
every pint of juice, boil until it jells,
which will not take over Is or 90 min
utes; only boil about three pints do IN
at q time, or in one kettle, aud boil
briskly. Skim if needed, while boil
ing. The settling will make good jelly,
but is not go clear to look at. If
handled right your jelly will be almost
as clear as water. Be careful not to
cook too much, as the jelly would
then be hard, but take eff az soon as it
jells the least bit in the saucer where
you have dropped a bit to test it and
dip into the moulds Immediately. Use
only granulated sugar for jelly. -DollIe

THE MAGICAL FLOUR SACK.

The various uses of our common
-four sack entities it to the appellation
magical. Everyone knows it makes
good lining o. a dish towel, but / doubt
if the majority of housewives have
thought of converting it into waists for
the boys, dresses, skirts and aprons
for themselves or girls, or shirts for
their usbands Not many would
suspect the original use of the fabric,
after the garments eolored dark
blue or turkey red. If good dyes are
used, and the clothing not dried in the
sun, the color will last as long as the
cloth, which is more durable than
calico. It the clothing is made up be-
fore coloring, there will be no trouble
in matching thread.
/ save all my foursack scraps, and
sometimes get from a neighbor who
has been in the habit of burning them.
After cutting into half squares they
are ready to color for quilt pieces. In
this way I have made two quilts; one
red and drab, the other blue and tan.
The drab was colored after black, the
tan after brown; in this way / only
used up the dye that would otherwise
have been wasted. I pieced them on
the machine, and a more speedy pat
tern than mine, if one has no small
scraps to use, would be brickWork,
which is quite pretty. Six sacks are
required to line n quilt of medium
size. Some, preferring less work,
make comforts, and color the thread
raveled out of the sack to knot them
with. Comforts made from Eve cent
outing flannel are superior in warmth
and durability to calico.
Many families use hoursacks for I'm.
derclothes and pillow cases; but the
fifty pound sacks require a six inch
strip in the side and at least a four
inch ruff } on the end, to fit a medium
s;zad pillow. I IL saw a pair Of
twins, whose pretty dresses were made
from sugar sacks, with the threads
drawn both ways to represent open
work dress goods.
Stocking bags as we'll as other kinds
are serviceable; table covers, bureau.
scarfs, spIashers, picture Grapes, and
tides, with fringe and drawn work,
look we'll of this material. I have
heard some complain that they could
not remove the letters from foursacks.
I will give two reliable methods: Wet
the sack in cold water, squeeze out un-
I'll it does not drip, soap we'll, rubbing
in with hands, then pour OF a table
spoonful of kerosene, and roll the sack
up at least twelve hours before wash
ing, If the colors do not all rub out,
put soap and kerosene in the boiling
water, or boil before rubbing. The
second method is to soap and soak the
sacks az before, then put them to boil
with two. tabiespoonfuls of washing
duid tt n gallon Of water, and very
little rubbing will be required, after
boiling for half an hour.-M NJ. Dee in
