CONDENSED STORIES.
The Bottle of Perfume, the Carpet
sweeper and the Jury.

The essence of hospitality is Mr..
Hank Smith Of Michigan when his
constituents come to town. He
guides them about the capitol, in
troduces them to the notables in
public life, presents them at the
White House and sees to it that
they receive favorable mention in
the newspapers. But fond lover
of a good story is this one of the
three Smiths from Michigan, and
when he was going the rounds the
other day with Mr.. John +. Bird Of
Adrian, Il leader at the bar in those
parts, he could not forego a remi-
niscence.
"Bird and l were once opposing
counsel in a suit growing out Of
alienation of Affection" said Mr..
Smith. "He was attorney for the
accused and l for the aggrieved. 1t
developed that the defendant had
sent sweet bottle Of perfume to
my clients wife, and in the course
Of the trial | examined him very
closely about that little memento.
The defendant assured me he had
been buying several Christmas gifts
and, seeing the beautiful bottle of
perfume, bethought himself to pur-
chase it for the wife Of my client.
"'And did you also think to buy
something as a Christmas gift for
your own wife ? l asked him.
eyes
"'What was it?'
"'A carpet sweeper responded
the defendant.
'Up to that time the case had
been going in favor of my friend
Bird" continued Mr.. Smith, "but
with that response | saw him slide
down in his chair"
"And what was the outcome?"
Mr.. Smith was asked.
"That carpet sweeper turned the
jury in my favor" he replied, "and
cost the defendant, who had pur-
chased it, exactly $4,000"

fhe Way to Have Delicious eroIIed
Bacon


Broiled bacon is dish which in
few households deserves the adiec-
tive, because it is seldom broiled
The fat is fried out Of it and again
Soaked into it by long spluttering in
a spider full of grease. The only
way to cook bacon, both for the
matter of appearance and for diges-
tive qualities, is to broil it not over
bed of coals-it is too fat for that
but in a very hot oven. Cut the
bacon in the most delicately thin
slices possible, rejecting the rind.
Lay the pieces close together in a
fine wire broiler. Place it over a
dripping pan and set in hot oven.
1t requires to be turned just once.
The fat which falls into the pan
makes excellent drippings for fry
ing potatoes. Drain the bacon on
brown paper. If you wish to serve
calf's liver with this, sprinkle the
liver with pepper and salt, roll it in
flour and fry brown in the bacon
drippings. Serve with a curled NOR
sci of bacon on top Of each piece of
liver Bacon as served by the aver
age cook, well soaked in grease, is
the most indigestible of food. When
broiled crisp in the oven, it is "A dish
that may be served even for IA child
of two years with impunity. Among
all the fats delicately crisped bacon
ranks next to cream in ease of di-
gestion.-Good Housekeeping.

New Use For the Thermometer.

The thermometer always hung
outside the porch door in summer
and in the family sitting room in
winter. The rise and fall of the
mercury had never been explained
to the small boy Of the family who

respect as a generator Of heat ueA.
in Importance to the san. One cold
day in March he rushed in from the
barn and demanded:
"NIa, gimme the Thermometer

of as high a grade, but are very

When bone is out of joint, the

There are fatalities in thought

made which cannot be recalled.
Thinking and conduct are alike
beset with danger; and an error
in thought must logically be fol

emphasis.

The Bible is to many people an

Used in this way, it ought to be
expensively bound and kept free
from the marring stains of daily
use. TO others, it is a religious
luxury, very important book to
have within reach in case of emer.

spiritual responsibility and the
orthodoxy of the owner. TO still
others, it is one of the necessaries
of life, joy, a comfort, a consola'
ton. Among such people the
book is seldom found in good con-
dition, from the BINDERS point OF
