Lincoln used to be fond of telling a
story of n lawyer In a western town
who desired the nomination fer county
judge. On the morning preceding the
evening on which the county conyen-
ton was to meet he applied to the liv-
cry stable keeper in his village for
horse and buggy In which to drive to
the county town, Is miles distant,
where the convention was to be he'd.
Give me the best and the fastest
horse you have, Sam" said he. $50 that
| will have time to go around and see
the boys before the convention comes
in
The liveryman, however, was sup
porting a rival candidate and gave the
lawyer a horse that outwardly appear
ed perfect. but which broke down en-
tirely before half the journey was COM
pleted so that when the candidate ar
rived the convention had adjourned
and his rival had been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that 1t
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here, Smith. you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect to sell him to an undertaken for
a hearse horse, don't you? Well, it's
time wasted | know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
to pull hearse, but he'll prove dead
failure. Why, he's so slow he couldn't
get corpse to the cemetery in time for
the resurrection"

One can keep butter sweet a long
time. even in hot room where 1t Is
half melted, by keeping 1t covered with
brine made by putting into boiling wa
ter all the salt it will take up. Then
let 1t cool and pour over the butter,
Meat may be preserved in the same
way To be sure, it will become rather
salt, but when you wish to use 1t take
it out of the brine the night before and
lay 1t across two spoons or sticks to lift
it from the bottom of the dish in which
you wish to soak it and then cover it
with fresh water. The salt will then
settle out of the meat. and 1t will fresh
en- nicely. You throw meat or fish into
the bottom of a vessel and cover it
with water, and it will freshen very lit
tie, for the salt does not fall out, but
only to the lower side.
