The Texas Chafing Dish.

"There are many curious ways of cook
ing the wide world over" remarked man
just home from Texas. "but cooking with
a hot box is curiosity you have to travel
to Texas to see."
"a hot-box?" was repeated by the
listener.
Yes. hot-box; not railroad hot-box.
however, but a household hot-box. When
a Texan housewives ranch housewife
wants to go off to the next ranch to spend
the day and yet find hot food in the house
on her return she gets out the hot-box.
This is any ordinary good sized wooden
box lined air tight with pillows or pads
made for the purpose. The lady of the
house in which 1 was visiting had ham
boiling on her stove The vessel contain
ing the ham at boiling point was lifted
from the stove and placed in the hot-box.
A liz, also padded with a thick pillow, was
placed over the box, and on the housewife S
return home many hours after the ham
was found still boiling merrily away. No.
indeed, this is not tropical climate fairy
tale. Ask any Texan ranch dweller you
like about the merits of hot-box cookery"

two dozen ragged, grey, white, black and

The Naomi Club.

Unique among clubs, no doubt, is the
Naomi Club. Naomi, be it explained. is
as homely and unattractive poor body
as you could find in a days march. Old
lame gaunt, weak-eyed and miserable.
Poor Naomi-only half right in her mind,
would hardly impress you as figure to
inspire chivalrous sentiments in the minds
of small street boys. But, as the goddess
and sole object of the Naomi Club. the
wretched creature must be accepted. When
the weather became bad and poor old Ma
omi-so poor she has even lost aer last
name-could not get out of her shabby
abode to do her from-house-to-house mar
keting six or seven wild little street boys
in her most questionable neighborhood or
ganized themselves. out of the promptings
of their own little reprobate hearts, into
a begging club to take care of poor old
Naomi. The Naomi Club has held together
all winter, and Naomi has not suffered for
food-cold biscuit, though it be.

To Care for Your Derby Hat.
Philadelphia Record.

Some men will buy two or three black
derby hats season, and these will ALWAYS
look rusty and old. Other men will buy
not more than one year, and that will
never lose its deep and brilliant gloss.
I'll tell you why it isl said the best
dresser in Germantown. the other day.
1T Is because one man brushes his hat
with a stin-bristled whisk. and the other
rubs his softly with piece of wooden cloth
The felt OF hat is such delicate stuff
that stif whisk applied to IL has pretty
much the effect that a curry comb or rake
would have on a suit of clothes IT wears
the nap of. exposing the bare gray foun-
dation In short order. A piece of wooden
cloth, rubbed over a hat with a circular
motion that conforms TO the grain, doesn't
rub off the nap at all, but keeps 1t lustrous
and firm and OF good color. / buy one
two an-a-half hat year. and rub II each
morning with bit OF flannel. 1 guaran-
tee that II outlasts three five-doliar hats
that are raked and scrsped with whisks
every day."

ton to the strange gentleman opposite:

pro.perity and Clean shirts.

Perhaps you won't believe me-" laun-
dryman said. ''but prosperity in one mans
business often means less prosperity to an
other mans business. For instance, In
hard times our laundry was buster than 1t

age man gets more independent; his ap-

noted 1t before: the clean-shirt trade IL

Ellen,s Diaxnosis.

When sorrows come they come not as
single spies. but in battalions. On this ira
ditional plan four different varieties of trib-
ulation recently assailed an Indianapolis
family. First, the aged grandmother slip
ped on the steps, dislocating a hip; then
the mother Of the family was afflicted with
severe rheumatism in her knees; a son, en-
tering the stable at night. was kicked on
the shin by a pet horse: and young lady
in the household was abed with a painful
neuralgia arm. Under these distressing
conditions friend who called to make in
quiries said to the maid at the door:
ELLEN, you are the only well person In
the house: don't you get sick. too"
'No'm." responded young Ellen briskly.

Apropos of the bad state of things po-

"'And whisky, too, is one of your famed

'Whisky-oh, yes I corroborated; we

country-thirteen distilleries in Jefferson

1t would depend on the character of the
