CHEESE ~DELlCACIES.
A Delicious Little Dish - Cheese

No article of food is more relished
when rightly prepared than cheese, in

Cheese is a saucy elf,
Digesting all except itself.
II is one of the dishes especially In
favor for nocturnal repasts, and there
are dozens of ways in which 1t may be
combined, all of which are delicious.
A dinner seems incomplete without
cheese in some form or other, usually
served Just before dessert. The Eng
fish serve celery or cucumbers with it,
but thin milk crackers or wafer biscuits
allowed to crisp just a moment before
serving are delicious served with it.
1t is well to remember that parmesan
is the best cheese to use for %oking
purposes, as it retains m9S@~SoA,o r .nan

A delicious little dish is made from
one cupful of bread or cracker crumbs,

Grants plan of attack was to keep the
left flank near the river to prevent re-

Columbus and by spreading out the

strobe straight to the corner of the

of the westward side, peering right
and left in search of the skulker
who dared not come to the open
dock, yet sought means of reaching
the Australian steamer.
For moment he could distinguish
no living object. then paused to lis
ten, and within ten seconds was re-
warded. Somewhere close at hand
between him and low shed to his
left there was the sound of sudden
collision and muttered oath. Some
invisible body had bumped against
some invisible box, and, turning
sharply, Stuyvesant made a spring,
and the next instant had grappled
with some burly. powerful form and
was dragging it, despite furious re-
sistance, towards the light.
He was conscious of the sickening
odor of sour whisky, of a volley of
mad threats and imprecations, of
singing blow in the face that only
served to make him cling the tighter
to his prisoner. Then, as they swayed
and struggled to and fro, he felt that
he was not gaining ground and that
this unseen ruffian might after all es-
cape him. He lifted up his voice in
mighty shout:
'.Police. Police. This way!''
Then he heard a savage oath,
suffering, savage "Let go, d-n
your soul" and then felt sharp,
stinging pain in the right side-an-
and earth and sky
reeled as his grasp relaxed, and with
a moan of anguish he sank fainting
on the dock.

The BelGians Abandon One of TIL cir
Stations Account of
Them.

The katanga company, which is de-
veloping the rubber and other re
sources of a large district in the up
per Congo basin, has abandoned the
station of Kululn, which it had estab-
lished on Lake Moero. Though
great deal of labor has been expend-
ed in making this station a large and
desirabl post the region around it
became infested with man-eating
lions. 1t was therefore decided to
seek another location. Quite a num-
Der of natives in the service of the
state were killed by these lions with
in few weeks. The victims were
dragged into the jungle and eaten.
Many men saved their lives only by
climbing trees. thus getting out of
reach of the bowling beasts beneath
them. Everywhere along the paths
and brooks the lions lay in wait for
their prey, and no man knew when
he might be struck to earth by the
terrible foe lurking in the jungle all
ready for the fatal spring, says an
eastern exchange.
A manseating lion is one that has
tasted human flesh, likes it better
than the meat of any of the animals
upon which its kind is wont to prey.
and therefore will eat nothing else
if it is able to kill man, woman or
child In the past three years it has
been more than usually in evidence
in East Africa between Victoria Ny
ANA and the Indian ocean. The man
eaters killed many natives and also
a considerable number of laborers on
the Uganda railroad. They filled the
thousands of Indian and black Ia
borers with such terror that the men
finally refused to work until all the
lions had. been killed.
When man-eating lions come to the
neighborhood OF human habitations
one of two things must be done.
Either the inha bitants must get out
of the country, for their lives are not
safe there for a moment, or else they
must kill every lion of the man-eat-
ing type that has come into their dis
trict. 1t is fortunate that lions of
this type are comparatively few in
number. If all lions were man-eat-
ers Africa would become uninhabita
BILE, unless the world organized a gil
gantice lion hunt to wipe the whole
snecies out of existence.

and couldn't have cake and pie and
cream with their coffee
The Red Cross, very properly, took
umbrage at such suggestions and
branded the suggestors as horFid.
The Red Cross had done such wide
spread good and was ready to do so
much more that criticism of it's meth
DDS was well-nigh unbearable. And
now that it had obtained the sanction
of the government to send out to
Manila not only supplies and dainties
of every possible kind, but dozens of
its members to serve as nurses to
the sick and wounded, it scored "a tri-
umph over rival organizations, nota-
bly, the Patriotic Daughters of Amer
lea, whose vice president, the austere
Miss Perkins, first bombarded the
papers in vain protest and denuncia-
ton, the Red Cross being her main
objective, and with abuse of the COM
handing officers in camp; then called
in person on the same officers to de-
mand transportation to Manila with
the next expedition.
The Red Cross held it's head very
high, and with reason. 1t ruffled its
feathers and resented any slight. 1t
sometimes mistook courteous protest
against its lavish gifts to such sols
diers as were in no wise needy as vi
cious and unhallowed criticism, and

grievously enlarged and exaggerated
alleged Sights received at the hands
of luckless officials. And then even
those soft and shapely hands could
develop catlike claws and the siooth-
ing voices take on an acid and scath-
ing information, and the eyes, so ready
to moisten with pity and sympathy
at the sight of suffering, could shoot
spitefuI little fires at the objects of
such divine displeasure, and poor Stuy-
vesant's petulant words, wrung from
him in a moment of evaporation and
never intended to reach the fair
band of sisters of the cross, were
piled high with additions, impolitic,
impolite, discourteous, impudent, in
even profane and bias
phemous.
Eleven of the twelve Red Cross
nurses, packed three in room
aboard the Sacramento, swore they
would not have anything to do with
Mr.. Stuyvesant. The twelfth, the one
soldiers daughter in the. band, said
nothing at all.

IincoIu.. Father as a Boy.

and one yarn that he never tired of
rehearsing was .blood-curdling In
dian tale. One day, when he was
about seven Or eight years old and
living in Kentucky, he was sitting on
a fence watching his father and older
brothers at work in the field. With
out a moments warning a small band
of Indians came rushing by on horse
back. One of them, with a sweep of
his long arm, seized the lad and gai5
loped off. Little Tommy Lincoln
looked up intort the red warriors face
and said: Don't kill me. Take me
a prisoner" The Indian smiled. Just
then a rife cracked. Indian and boy

able seaman in all the years he had

Francisco and was already organized
and doing wonders at Honolulu. It's

somewhat bare and crude conditions
of camp hospitals were doubtless
very trying. Women of gentlest birth
and most refined associations donned

noble and patriotic purpose that in
spired such sacrifice.
1t was joy to the embryo soldiery
to be fed and comfortSd day by day
with the delicacies of the Red Cross
tables: but there were military mag
mates and martinets who dared to
question the wisdom of such prepa
ration for the stern scenes of cam
paigning ahead of the volunteers, and
who presumed to point out to the of
ficers of this great and far-reaching
charity that, while they were most
grateful for such daintieS for the in
valids of their command, the daily
spectacle of scores of lusty, hearty
young heroes feasting at the tables
of the Red Cross, to the neglect of
their own simple but sufficient ra-

GROWING OLD.

You are growing Old they tell US,
Every year;
- You are more alone they tell US,
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrows and detection,
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrows
Every year;
Darker days and darker morrows
Every year;
The ghost of dead loves haunt us.
The ghosts of changed friends taunt &c,
And disappointments daunt US
Every year.
Too true! Life's shores are shifting
Every year;
And we are seaWard drifting
Every year;
Old places changing fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret US,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every year;
And the Morning Star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burthen lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
Every year.

When that able practitioner re-
turned to. the cottage two young
women with Red Cross badges were
a drive, apparently, and little dark
eyed chap in the uniform of SUBJ
altern of the cavalry was with them.
They had drawn their chairs into the
shade and close to the Venetian
blinds, behind which in his darkened
room reclihed the languid patient.
'.Thau will drive him simply rabid,'
said the doctor to himself, and pre-
pared professional smile with which
to tell the glad tidings that he should
be borne forthwith to higher regions.
He had left Stuyvesant peevish,
fretful, but otherwise inert, asking
only to be spared from intrusion. He
found him alert. intent, eager-his
eyes kindling, his cheeks almost
flushing. The instant the doctor be-
gan to speak the patient checked him
and. bent his ear to the sound of soft
voices and laughter from without.
'I've fixed it ALL" whispered the
medical man, reassuringly. well

as I can call in another man or two"
and he started for the door, whereat
his erratic patient again up1ifted
hand and beckoned, and the doctor
tip-toed to his side and bent his ear
and looked puzzled, perturbed, but
finally pleased. Stuyvesant said that,
thinking it all over, he o'sguessed" he
would rather stay where he was.
And then, when the doctor was
gone, what did he do but take brace
in his chair and bid the attendant go
out and say to the officer on the
veranda, Lieut.. Ray, that Mr.. Stuy
vesant would be very glad to speak
with him if he'd be so kind as to come
in, whereat the soft laughter sudden
ly ceased.
There was a sound of light foot
steps going in one direction and
springy, soldierly step coming in the
other. Then entered Mr.. Sanford
Ray, with outstretched hand, and the
attendant, following and peering over
his shoulder, marveled at the sudden
change that had come over his mas
ter.
