Let Them Have 1t.

Oleomargarine in vast quantities
passes through San Francisco, but not
a pound is left by the wayside. For
the first four months of this year TO-
900 pounds left this port, chiefly for
Honolulu, where, it is claimed, the Chi
nese consume it. though no doubt a
certain portion is sold to others for
butter. Here is something to think
over, for if the Chinese of little town
like Honolulu will eat a carload of cleo
every month what a great field in Chi
ma itself for this product and what a
radiance it would be to this country!
Then, if the mob of Chinese will eat
imitation there is every probability
that those who can afford it will get
away with considerable butter. This
fact should encourage us to continue
the campaign for oriental markets and
uphold the United States dairy division
and the California Dairy association in
their present efforts to contest those
markets with other countries for the
benefit of our own dairymen. Let us
not oppose this traffic of the imitation
article in Pacific countries, for if the
large concerns which make oleomarga-
rine will get the heather in the habit
of eating cheap grease under the guise
of butter and open up avenues for its
distribution we will then come in with
the better article and use these facili-
ties to our advantage. We can do like
the man said to his wife about the bur
glar, IF he finds anything, we will
take it away from him." Western

A Hero.


A few years ago fire broke out in a
charming little Swiss village. In few
hours the quaint frame houses were en-
tirely destroyed.
One poor man was in greater Trouble
than his neighbors even. His home and
cows were gone, and SO also was his
son, a bright boy of 8 or years. He
wept and refused to hear any words of
comfort. He spent the night wandering
sorrowfully among the ruins.
just as daybreak came, however, he
heard we'll known sound, and, look
ing up, he saw his favorite COW lead
ing the herd and coming directly after
them was his bright eyed little boy.
"Oh, my son, my sonp' he cried,
care you really alive2"
"Why, yes, father. When saw the
fire, l ran to get our cows away to the
pasture lands"
"You are hero, my boyi'' the father
exclaimed.
But the boy said: "Oh, mol A hero
is one who does some wonderful deed.
/ led the cows away because they were
in danger, and knew it was the right
thing to do. .
"Ahr' cried the father, "he who
does the right thing at the right time
is hero"

The Photograph Game A Real Little
Hero When Young Peo-
pie Grow.

A novel and interesting entertain
nent for an evening party is the game
Of photographs. 1t is somewhat sim
liar to the game Of authors, and the
cards may be prepared by the hostess
with no expense. The care with which
the pictures are collected and the tax
upon the general intelligence of the
guests are in evidence as the guessing
contest progresses and attest to the sue
cess of the evening. This is the way it
is done:
Gather the pictures of noteworthy
people as they appear in small cuts in
the papers and the magazines. Cut the
portrait around its outline carefully
from the paper on which it is printed
and apply it neatly with mucilage to a
glazed visiting card, numbering the
card. If you have % cards, you must
also have % cards with simply the
numbers ranged down one side in nu-
merical order, beginning with No. /,
leaving space to be filled in with the
name of the picture corresponding with
each number to be written.
Each guest is presented with mum
bered card and pencil and is expected
to guess what the pictures are as they
are passed about and to write the names
on his card. The one who guesses the
greater number correctly receives the
prize and the one who guesses the least
number the BOBBY prize.

Al Hot weather Punch.

A tea punch is refreshing in hot
weather. For one gallon of punch
take three lemons, three oranges and
one pineapple shredded or grated. II
is better to shred if from the core with
silver fork. If grated on tin, 1t is apt
to become discolored. Also take one
box of strawberries, to be used whole
or if too large to be cut in half. The
tea must be made with one tablespoons
full of Ceylon tea and one quart of boil
ing water. Pour the water on the tea
and let it stand 10 minutes and then
stain.
To the juice Of the oranges, lemons
and shredded pineapple add one cup or
one pint of sugar, according to acidity
of the mixture, and let it stand for half
an hour. Let the tea stand until cold,
then put all together and add quart
of apollinaris and large block Of ice.
The pulp of the oranges can be left in
if desired. The strawberries are put
in last, and there must be thin slices
of lemon to serve in each tumbler, with
a candied cherry if desired.
