career was closely connected with the

enmity between the two families. At

Capt. Logan had worn a uniform to

COOKING A HUSBAND.
A Few Simple Rules for Making Them
Tender and Digestible.

Tender and Digestible.
In selecting your husband you
should not be guided by the silvery ap-
pearance as in buying mackerel, or by
the golden tint, as if you wanted
salmon. Be sure to select him your
self, as tastes differ. Don't go shop
ping for him, as the best are always
brought to your door. When bought,
tie him in the saucepan with a strong
cord called Comfort--as the kind called
Duty is apt to be weak. Husbands
sometimes fly out Of the saucepan and
become burned and rusty on the edges,
since, like Holsters and oysters, you
have to cook them alive. Make a
clear, strong steady fire out Of Love,
Neatness and Cheerfulness. Set him
as near this as seems to agree with
him. If he sputters and fizzles don't
be anxious. Some husbands do this
until they are quite done Add a lit
tie sugar in the form of Kisses but no
vinegar or pepper. A little spice i'm
proves husbands, but it must be used
with judgment Don't stick any
sharp instrument into him to see If he
is becoming tender Stir him gently,
watching the while lest he should lie
too close to the saucepan and so be-
come tasteless. You cannot fail to
know when he is done. If thus treated
you will find him very digestible
agreeing nicely with you and the chill
dren.

REGINALD'S BRIDE.

Marion Grey was the child OF
wealthy parents, having been brought
up in luxury and given a good educa-
tion. Her mother died when she was
u years of age, leaving her father to
rear his motherless child as best he
could.
His business did not prosper after
his wife's death, and through the dis
honesty of his partner he became al
most reduced to bankruptcy. He went
to work with the men that he had
formerly employed, working night and
day, straining his eyes to their utter
most, and finally causing total blind
ness. At this he sold his property and
Marion was obliged to go to work.
She engaged a small tenement and
searched daily for work, but to no
avail On returning home one day,
tired and disheartened, her father said
to here: Marion, Mrs. Young called
here today, and is going abroad with
her husband, and would like to find
trustworthy person to take the care
of her little boy, Harold. She heard
OF our circumstances, and thought that
you might take this position as gov
erness, and yet be near your old father.
What do you think about it, my dear?"
well, father" said Marion in a
cheerful tone, for she never allowed
her father to see her downhearted, do
you think that you could stand the an
noyance Of this child, for he is but
five years of age and has been in
dulged greatly?"
MY daughter said her father, "it
does seem as if this is a plan by which
you can meet the expenses and yet be
near me during the day."
Nothing more was said, and the fol-
lowing day Marion called on Mrs.
Young and everything was settled sat
isfactorily. She brought Harold home
with her, for he had been attracted to
Marion at once, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Young we're to sail the following day.
The Youngs were people Of wealth and
attended the same church as Marion
had done from childhood, and they felt
well pleased at being able to find such
a trustworthy person with whom to
leave Harold.
Marion was in the habit Of taking
Harold for a stroll during the latter
part of the day, and it was during one
Of these strolls that Harold exclaimed:
why, Auntie we meet that gentle
man every day."
The gentleman, hearing the remark,
turned and said Good afternoon"
Good afternoon, sir" said Marion,
Pardon me, but the child called you
'Auntie.' May l ask if he is your
nephew" said the gentleman.

Marion.

age as my young brother, whom l have
not seen since a babe" After saying
a few words to Harold, he wished them
good afternoon and passed on.
Marion called Harold and walked
leisurely home, little knowing what an
impression she had made on this new
acquaintance. Upon entering the
house, Harold exclaimed: 20, grand
pa, we met a real nice gentleman, and
he talked with auntie!"
Mr. Grey made no reply, but during
the evening asked Marion who the
gentleman was. Marion replied that it
was one that they had met frequently
in their strolls, and Harold had opened
the conversation by his childish re-
marks. "His name is Mr. Reginald
Stacey, and he lives next door," she
said.
Stacey" repeated Mr.. Grey. THAT
sounds familiar / once had dealings
with one by that name, but he has
passed away"
AS time passed the meetings between
Marion and her friend became more
frequent and what was at first a mere
acquaintance soon ripened into a deep
affection, until one day Reginald said
Marion, I am going away to complete
my education, but there is something
that I wish to tell you before going"
Marion, I have loved you from the
first sight my dear" said Reginald.
But, Reginald, what of my father?
l love you, but / cannot leave him."
said Marion.
you and your father shall never be
separated" he answered.
After spending some time in making
promises and endearing words, he bade
her a fond good-by.
That evening Marion told her father
the whole story.
A little later on she received letters
from Reginald, and often wondered
why he did not speak about his people
in them, but, thinking that the year
would soon pass and having her time
taken up with Harold and her father,
she decided that on his return she
would ask him about them. AS time
passed away rapidly, Mr.. and Mrs.
Young returned from abroad and took
Harold home, paying Marion well. On
her next visit to Marion and her faith
er, Mrs. Young stated that she wished
her to come with her a few days to

Trading names and sentences is a

1t is known by the officials Of the
prisons and of the courts, but way
to prevent it has yet to be devised.

Of Imprisonment changes places with
y long-term one. OF course the short.
term man must agree to the PROPOSE
tion. and carry out to the letter his
part of the deception. This he does
for a money consideration. Oppor-
tunity for this deception is afforded
in the way in which convicts are re-
ceiyed at the prisons. They go there
in groups, under the care of q tip
staff, who seldom knows them. The
dockets Of conviction do not identity
them, and when they are lined up be-
fore the warden it is a simple matter
for one prisoner to answer to the
name of another. To prevent any

officials say tnat photograph Of each

The New Alaskan Mining Camp.


One of the latest and most promising
of the Alaskan mining camps is Nome.
1t is located on the Snake river and
had a population Of 5000 on Nov. l.
At that time, however, 1000 people
were expected to leave for the states
by the last boats, and the winter pop
ulation will not be more than 3,000
There is not tree or a bush as thick
as a mans wrist growing within fifty
miles OF Nome, and there is, therefore,
a ready market for lumber at $3.50 a
thousand, while shingles sell for $40
a bunch. Coal costs SIS a ton and the
purchaser is expected in addition to
act as his own delivery wagon. Pota-
toes sell for $40 a hundred, and beans,
locally known as Klondike strawber-
ries at eight cents a pound. Gold to
the amount of 100000 is said to have
been taken out Of the Nome placers
this season, and every available claim
in the limited district was long ago
staked out. There is at present great
activity in the Nome real estate mar
ket The last important sale, prior to
Nov. l, was that of the Ell Dorado
building, a frame shanty on the main
street, 5Ox75 feet, on a lot measuring
5Ox15O feet. It sold for $4,000 cash.
The ruling price for day labor is 81 an
hour, but there is almost no work do
ing, Longshoremen get $40 a day, but
are compelled to stand up to their
waists in ice cold water most of the
day and are consequently soon laid up

but two years, however, leaving his

A Massachusetts, correspondent OF
the Country Gentleman suggests that
farmers might reasonably ask the
sportsmen to share with them the
proceeds of the hunt, and the editor
advises money consideration rather
than a share of the game. This is, to

where shooting privileges are reserved
for visiting sportsmen, who in return
pay the taxes on the land. Forest

vailing conditions of utter disregard
of the landowners rights by the

others as shall make payment for
shooting privileges obligatory, is a far
cry" it says; "but the new order of
things would be for the true interest
Of the sportsman. The more fully
the privilege of shooting is regarded
as a privilege, and the more common
" the recognition is insisted upon, so
much the more game will there be for
the decent sportsman, and so much
the less for the rowdy. When these
conditions shall prevail the problem

writes as follows: 1t is very difficult,
even here in Manila, to get compre-
hensive idea of 1.-The situation in the
Philippines" The most we know Is
that our troops are scattered over
every province in Luzon. as well as
in the chief cities of the other Islands,
and that in Luzon alone there are
DIG separate garrisons holding cities
and villages and strategic points IN

Long before Tarlac was taken Ag-
ulnaldo realized that Lis troops could
not stand against ours. Even force
numerically much stronger could be
driven at will by comparatively small
American forces. This was where dis
cipline morale and esprit du corps
combined to make the smaller force
vastly superior to the larger one, be-
cause the latter lacked these elements.
Soon after this discovery. which he
seems to have been long in making,
he heard that the United States was
going to increase the Philippine army
to about $1,000, force that could
annihilate him if he contested its ad-
vance or will. He then issued, along
in October, a proclamation advising
many of his followers to return to
their homes, hide their rifles and await
Il call at some future time. Others
of his followers were held under arms
and directed to begin a guerilla war
fare in the territory held by the Amer
leans at that time, or TO be held by
them later on.
That proclamation, which was un-
doubtedly forced by the vigorous cam
paign inaugurated at the time by Gen
erals Macarthur. Lawton, Wheaton
and Young, marked the end of organ
lied resistance on large scale 1t
will be remembered that Tarlac was
taken without shot. and that our
troops occupied in turn all the prov

dozen fights of any consequence. From
that time on it became n foot race
