Ny Dear Sisters:
Your selections and letters suggest SO
many subjects which we could discuss
with profit in our column that once in a
while am puzzled what line Of thought
to bring to your notice.
In a recent personal letter to me the
thought is expressed that 1.-The gift of
flowers from Janet is evidence that Aunt
Madge is real parsonage in the lives of
some OF her readers. II any Of you have
any doubts as to her reality let me assure
you Aunt Madge is no myth, and the
good advice SO often found in the Mutual
Benefit column Is as helpful to her as the
Kind and sympathetic letters are encour-
aging.

PICNIC NOTES.

A nice relish for a picnic dinner Is a
package Of potato chips Saratoga chips
they are sometimes called. Pare smooth
good-sized potatoes, shave them into very
thin slices roll these in -four in which
little salt has been sprinkIed, and fry in
deep fat like doughnuts till nice brown.
Drain the fat of and dust little salt over
the slices.
For clam bake don't forget that joint
of stovepipe filled with the CLANS and
''wadded' al each end with seaweed makes
the'very best baker. Set the stovepipe
on the fire and pile the fuel round it. The
CLANS will be free from SCOT and ashes

ONCE IN \ WHILE
1t / easy enough 10 be pleasant,
When life flows 10y Ike a song,
But the man worth while i the one who wi
smile
When everything goes all wrong.
For the test Of the hear; Is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that Is werth the praises of cart
Is the smile that Shines through tears.
1t i easy enough to he prudent,
When nothing tcmpt- you to stray,
When within or without no voice Of SIN
Is Turing your soul away.
But it, only negative virtue
Jntii Il IS tried by fire,
And the lie that i worth the honor Of earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cyric. the sad and ;he fallen.
VINO had no strength fer the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered, to-day
They make up the item Of life.
But the virtue that coHquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides IN smile,
1t Is these that are worth the homage Of earth.
For we find them but once ia while,

Dear .iflnf NrGge:

Who don't get their work done, for that is

From the Chleago Record.

From the Chicago Record
In the Field Before calumpit, via Ma
Mia, April 25.-This is the story OF the
Twentieth Kansas and how that regi-
iment charged an intrenchment filled with
Flipinos, got across the Qulngua river,

second time The Kansas boys have got
what they went for, and they went in like
veterans We lay in the dry bed Of

o'clock on but no big advance was made
until 10 O'clock when the armored train

the sun as the flag came down at retreat

Fusion, the son of the former congress
man" from Alien county, Kansas. stood
near his horse cracking his riding boot
with his whip.
Then the 6-inch gun opened the fight on
the American side. The Filipinos had
been firing toward us for fifteen minutes,
and Lieut. Bridges IN command of that
train, sent the first shot. incidentally the
dust flew from the trench down the track.
and cheer went up before the report of
the piece had died from the ears of the,
men in the ravine. Again and again that
long. black piece rang up the eehoas.
Then the rapid-fire came into range and
began its belching. But when the Calling
began to purr the Kansas boys ware
ready for their charge across the open.
Gen. Hale got his Utah battery into posi-
ton on the extreme right and began
throwing shells into the enemy's camp.
Now, there should not have been trouble
for those FlliDnos even then, because
Their intrenchments were very strong,
but the shells evidently brought fear to
The hearts Of the dark-skinned fighters.
