KANSAS saloon men had rather have
small pox than an affection OF Carrie
Nation.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1901-11-07

Many years ago there lived in this coun-
try a number of beavers who were just
like those of the present day except that
their tails were long and thin, like those
of muskrats, instead of being large and
fat as they are now. And the reason
that the tails of the beaver folk became
so changed in shape is this:
Even in those early days the beavers
lived in fine houses which they built in
ponds and streams, and in which they laid
by a great store of food to last them
through the winter when ice should chain
up the water courses and keep the ami
mails prisoners in their own homes. OF
course they took good care to be snugly
at home before the cold weather arrived,
but once land you shall hear how nearly
they came to losing their lives through
their carelessness) a party of incautious
young beavers went too far in search Of
some particularly desirable logs. and. to
their dismay. found on returning to the
stream which held their homes that its
surface was covered with a thick coating
of ice.
They had been so hard at work over
the logs that they had failed to notice the
increasing cold, but now the unexpected
sight Of the ice sent chill to their very
hearts. Still they did not intend to sit
etill and freeze. but set about their return
as speedily as possible. hoping that some
charitable relative had remembered their
absence and kept a passage open by which
they might return to their fine, warm
houses. But, alas! when they reached the
village of their people, the Ice was solid
as a rock and only the tops of the dome
like houses rose above the CLASSY surface.
The entrances were all far below near the
bottom Of the stream, and nowhere did
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1901-11-07

they find an opening by which they might
enter. The poor beavers were in despair;
the cold was steadily incre asing and chill
ling them to the very marrow Of their
bones, and they felt that whatever they
did was to be done quickly or else they
would die there in the bitter atmosphere
within a few feet of their relatives and
friends, who were doubtless at that very
moment busily eating or taking long, cosy
winter maps in their warm, comfortable
houses.
The unfortunate exiles made frantic eff
forts to dig through the ice, but they
found that il only wore out their toenails
and made their feet dreadfully sore, all to
no purpose. Then they tried TO dig their
way through the top Of one of the houses,
but the frost had rendered the mud-plas-
tered sticks of which it was built as hard
as stone; so they were obliged to aban-
don that idea also. They jumped up and
down and banged with their tails on the
tops of several of the houses, hoping to
attract the attention of some of the in
habitants, who might in some way aid
them in effecting an entrance, but all
their efforts seemed fruitless, and they
were just about to resign themselves to
their fate and lie down on the ice to die,
wAen the top of a partly ruined house,
on which they had been jumping as a last
resort, caved In with several Of them.
You may be sure that 1t did not take
the freezing animals long to scramble
through the opening and make their way
by various underwater passages to their
several homes, where, after hearty
meal, they at once settled down to sleep
without disturbing any of their friends,
who were one and all found wrapped In
deep slumber.
But the next spring. when the ice melted

Hints On Soup MAKING.

A student of the culinary art has this
to say of soup and soup-making:
AS surely as oysters and apple sauce on
the bill of fare indicate the season, so
surely the temperance of the soup kettle
in the kitchen tells that cool weather is
at hand. Notwithstanding the tradition
that with the French housewife rests the
secret of the soup kettle, any woman with
common sense and a fair knowledge Of
cooking may make this article of daily
diet contribute not only to the pleasure
and health of her family, but in its varie-
ties of ingredients and flavorings, may
utilize 1t as a daily source of economy in
the employment of leftovers.
Invariably the housewife who has a rep
utation for fine soups Is the one who SUI
pervises the food left from each meal, and
sees that no bone, unless burned In the
broiling; no scrap of meat, not the least
bit Of gravy and not a teaspoonful Of veg
etables are wasted. All these she uses in
her soup kettle. This, indeed, is the
Frenchwoman's secret, and she helps it
out with judicious seasonings.
Fresh meat will need to be purchased at
least once "a week for the soup stock. For
the purpose piece Of the shin of beef,
with the bone which contains marrow; a
knuckle of veal for additional gelatine
and the cold meat and bones which have
been saved should all soak in cold water
for half an hour or so, and then be
brought very slowly to a simmer. When
the meat is cooked to shreds and the
knuckles fall apart it is time to remove
the kettle. Many persons season the stock
while II is cooking, but this practice has
its disadvantages. In the first place, vege-
table juices will cause II to sour much
more readily; besides, once IL has been
seasoned ii is impossible to vary ii so de-
cidedly. Then, too, in the daily scaldings
of the stock, which is necessary If the fat
is removed from the top, much of the
flavor is lost in steam. 1t is an excellent
plan to fill stone crooks, each holding
enough for one days supply, to let the
cake of grease form upon them, and when
they are entirely cold to cover them and
place them in the refrigerator. Undisturb-
ed, and in a cool place, the stock VIII
keep for two weeks.
A level teaspoonful of salt and two or
three whole peppers should be allowed for
each quart of the liquid and should be
added about an hour before the soup
is removed from the fire. When vegeta-
bles are to be used for seasoning they
should not be allowed to cook longer
than they would naturally for any other
purpose, as overlooking destroys their fia-
vor As a favored stock is most conven-
lent in the preparations of gravies and
made dishes, a portion should be seasoned
and saved for this purpose. In addition to
the herbs and usual vegetables, such as
celery, parsley, turnip, carrot onion, etc.,
a tablespoonful or two of the small pep
pers found now in most of the stores will
pe thought an Improvement by most peo-
pie Two or three cloves and whole all

Women Don't Want To Vote.

1t is a singular fact that men acknowl-
edge the Justice Of woman suffrage, but
at the same time delude themselves into
believing that they are doing no injus-
tice to women by withholding from them
that which they consider for themselves
one of the most sacred rights of citizen
ship, viz. the ballot.
The Minneapolis Times says:
THE Times desires to state in behalf
Of the men Of the nation. that the prin-
cipal obstacle to the granting of women's
suffrage Is in the disinclination on the
part of the large majority of women to
accept such grant. This being true, it
would seem to be fair to acknowledge
that masculine skirts are free from stain
in this regard"
This seems rather an excuse for defer
ring justice. In the first place how are
we to Judge whether women want to vote
or not until we have given them the op-
portunity? In the four enfranchised states
the women vote as generally as the men
and seem to enjoy it. If you don't believe
1t, just try to take the ballot from them
and see what will happen. If the women
do not wish to vote and still do so from
a sense of duty they are the most con-
scientious beings on the face OF the earth
and are certainly needed in governmental
affairs.
There have been more petitions pre-
scented to our legislative bodies asking
that woman be given the ballot than all
the other petitions combined. But why
demand that a majority Of women petition
for the ballot when no such contest has
ever been required of the various classes
of men that have been enfranchised since
this republic was formed? Originally on
ly free-holders voted. Did the poor men
unanimously petition for the franchise?
Did majority of the negroes in the south
ask for the ballot? Have the majority Of
the Alaskan men asked for it7 Have the
various tribes of Indian men been enfran-
chised because the majority requested 1t?
Did the majority of the Hawaiian men ex-
press a desire for It? Did a majority of
the Porto Rican men insist upon being
made voters? Is universal male suffrage
provided for in the new Cuban constitu-
ton because a majority of the men have
petitioned for II? DID a majority Of the
native born Cinnamon ask for the ballot?
Is there in the whole history of our gov
eminent one-just one-instance where
any class Of men have had the franchise
bestowed upon them because majority
demanded It? Not in one single case
has this been done, and yet legislators,
politicians, editors ministers, lawyers,
dismiss the plea of women for representa-
ton with the illogical remark: when the
majority ask for it they can have 1t.
No one has ever asked that these wo-
men who do not wish to vote be made to
do so, we only ask that those women VINO
do take an interest in the affairs OF their
country be allowed to express that inter-
est at the ballot box. This is simple JUS
tice, and II is always expedient to be Just.
