a Terrible Runaway,
But No One Hurt.

Last Tuesday j. w. Metz wa,
driving hack from Mcfarland, in
which he had his wife, aud child, and
his sister and child, and behind him
Brady Belfbrd was driving n horse
and buggy, IN which was Mrs. JAS.
Metz. The horse began kicking and
ran, and Mr.. Melz dropped his lines,
jumped out Of the hack to try to
catch and hold the runaway horse.
but he missed his aim and the horse
jumped into the hack, terribly de
mulishIng the rear seat, on which Mr..
Meiz's sister was sitting, but furiu-
nately not hurting her or her child.
The crash together, with the screams
of the women frightened Mr.. Metz'S
team. aud they ran about two miles
around mountain, where the road
was very narrow, but fortunately the
hack did not turn over or the team
leave the road. Mrs. Mez in her
eXcitemen: almost choaked her baby
to death, she having caught it with
Il death grasp around the neck, and
then held on to the seat of
the hack. The horses passed houses
soaring women and children almost to
death-two or three fainting, and it
was only by long and earnest effort
that one was brought to life. II say
the least it was Miraculous escape.

4 DeYiiiSh Deed.

Last Thursday night, while two
young men Of this town were sitting
silently in Simou's rur, studying
their Sunday school lessun,(? by the
light oftwo lanterns, a gang If night
providers proceeded to the brow of the
bank above them AMI hurled severa
boxes, BARRELS and kegs right into
their study. The news that the boys
were studying leaked out from some
children who said they knew the
boys we're playing Sunday school for
they saw pennies aud were sure the
boys had hal prayer and then taken
Il penny collection. There seems to
be no clue as tn the guilty parties, for
after throwing the boxes they made
good their escape The boys picked
themselves up and came up on the
street where they give detailed nc.
count of the imminent danger from
which they had just emanated. 1t is
strange that young men cannot enter
into their closet and pray CD in Sc
cret without being disturbed in thi,
manner.

HINTS FOR THE KITCHEN.

To cool hot dish in hurry place it
in vessel full Of cold salt water.
A little vinegar put into frying pan
and heated oyer the fire removes the
odor Of fish or onions from the uteneil.
When removing the scales of fish
the work will be rendered much easier
by dipping the fish for a moment into
boiling water.
A piece of heavy unbleached muslin
neatly hemmed should be placed over
the -four barrel under the lid to keep
out insects and dust.
Dried orange peel allowed to smould-
er on piece Of red-hot iron or on an
old shovel will kill any bad odor and
leave fragrant one behind.
In putting cakes on the griddle be
careful to form them regular round
shape, and put on only one at each dip
so as not to spill between the cakes.
The best method of greasing a grid
die is to take piece Of salt pork and
rub over With fork This prevents
adhesion and yet does not allow the fat
to soak into what is to be cooked.
To turn out jelly slightly grease
jelly moulds with butter, and when the
jelly or pudding is to be taken out
plunge the mould into hot water and
remove at once. The jelly will thus
turn out without any trouble.
If you want powder parsley to sprink-
lie over new potatoes or any other dish,
dip it first quickly into boiling water
shake the water off, and put it on q
plate or paper in quick oven for 3
few minutes. When quite dry rub
either between your hands or through
a wire sieve. Philadelphia Times.

A Kansas Girls Asnirations.

There was little of the idealistic
about the essay of Kansas girl at her
recent graduation. Her teacher had
given her for theme the phrase, "Be-
yond the Alps Lies Italy" She aston
ished her perceptess and schoolmates
by these emphatic words:
81 do not care cent whether Italy
lies beyond the Alps or even in Mis-
souri, l do not expect to set the river on
fire with my future career. l am glad
/ have good, very good education,
but | am not going to misuse it by
writing poetry or essays about the flu
ture woman. 1t will enable me to cor
rect the grammar of any lover 1 may
have, should he speak of 'dorgs' in my
presence, or say he went somewhere.
1t will also come handy when | want to
figure out how many pounds Of soap a
woman can get for three dozen eggs at
the grocery. So do not begrudge the
time [ spent in acquiring it. But my
ambitions do not fly so high. | Just
want to marry man who can lick any
body of his weight in the township,
who can run an eighty acre farm, and
who has no female relatives to come
around and try to boss the ranch. And
/ will agree to cook good dinners for
him that won't send him to an early
grave and layish upon him whole lot
of wholesale affection, and see that his
razor hasn't been used to cut broom
wire when he wants to shave. In view
of all this, don't care if / get little

things as the years go by. New Or

Mr.. Carmack's Campaign.

Mr.. Carmack continued his senator
ial campaign last evening before an en-
thusiastic audience at the Auditorium.
His views on all the questions of the
day are, of course, thoroughly known
at his home, bat he can always invest
his opinions with new charm, and his
pungent oratory will always prove
palatable to the people of Memphis.
The Mckinley administration has done
much to chill the popular enthusiarm
for expansion. In Porto Rico it has
converted expansion into imperialism
and American citizenship into slavery.
The particular kind of expansion up.
held by it is open to serious criticism,
and Mr.. Carmack, of course, neglected
no chance to point out the weakness of
the republican programme. As is
known, the Commercial appeal differs
with Mr.. Carmack on the retention of
the Philippines, but it cordially sup
ports his senatorial candidacy. In
deed some of his strongest support in
this section comes from the expansion
lists. The reason of this is not obscure.
We have already acquired the Philip
pines. We got them by conquest and
we paid for them. They are ours, and
we have no more idea that this country
will ever surrender them than it will
surrender the Louisiana purchase. We
look upon this feature of the question
as absolutely fixed, and we have only O
remote interest in the abstract question
as to whether we should retain posses.
sion of the islands. Whether we should
or no, we will. We favor their reten.
tion primarily in the interest of the
south and the Orient. That point has
been won, and it does not matter sub.
stantially whether we elect a senator
who denounces their retention or not
Mr.. Carmack has so much aptitude fol
political life and so many of the quail
fications of the statesman, that W.
take pleasure in thoroughly indorsine
his candidacy, even though we diffel
with him on mythical issue. Mem

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Even woman who won't lie about
her age will lie about her hair curling
naturally.
If the hero in play married the girl
for her money, and the villain was re-
ally in love with her, the women would
all say it wasn't true to life.
Most women would rather have their
husbands fix the flower beds than hire
somebody to do it, because they know
man always digs better when he's
mad.
The women claim to be able to tell
right away whether neighborhood is
healthy. The way they do it is to see
whether the doctors house has got lace
