Weird Tale from India.

This account of the alleged capture
of General Butler by the Beers is So
berly presented in a newspaper Oh
the French colony in Pondicherry, In
dia: General Butler stood in a humble
and suppliant attitude before General
Dewet. Greatly moved by this heart
rending scene, General Dewet asked
Butler if he had anything to say. Gen
eral Butler replied in these words:
Sir, 1 am a poor man. | entangled
myself in this war owing to my in
ability to pear the worry of the Brit
ish government. Grant me my life
and I will co. Butler was thereupon
released. General French, however,
was shot, after having broken his pa
role. King Edward, it is reported, has
given medals to three thousand runa-
ways from the British army, to keep
up appearances, but the British money
chest is so low that the government
now robs London residences by night"

Taxing Preachers.

An ordinance has been prepared by
Captain w. T. Norton, a prominent
citizen of Louisville, providing that
ministers of all denominations shall
pay a license of $50 a year, and that
their salaries shall be garnisheed in
the event of non-payment. The ordin-
anc was given to a councilman to in
troduce, but he has so far declined to
present it. Captain Norton's reasons
for desiring the passage of such an or
dinance is that the ministers of late
.'have been trying to butt into politics
and attempting by advancing unwise
theories to take a hand in the con-
duct of municipal affairs "-Chicago

The chameleon spider is one Of those
spiders which do not spin webs. 1t

much alike in color, and when a but

it with a bound like that of a tiger.
Thus the stock of butterflies whose
caterpillars are ruinous to orchards

The 'little" king Of Spain is grow

to kiss his mother, who is a tall WON
an. At Is he is 5 TT. 9 in. tall, and
some think that he may even become
as tall as his mothers brother, Arch
duke Eugene of Austria, who is one
of the tallest members of his family.
Moreover the king is beginning to
show a down upon his upper lip. Pre-
vious kings of Spain have been small,
even tiny, men, so it may be possible
that a big man at the head of things
will keep the Spaniards in better or
der.-Chicago Post.

The probate court of the District of
Columbia is badly in need of the SER
vices of a Solomon. An estate valued
at 5000, 900 is involved in the ques-
ton the court has been asked to IN
swer. The question is raised by the
will of the mother of twins, who was
twice married, leaving three children
by her first husband and the afore-
said twins. She made a will before
the birth of the twins, leaving her es-
tate to her children by her first hus-
band, but providing that should an
other child be born to her it should
be entitled to one-fourth interest IN
her personal estate. Then the twins
were born and the mother died with
out changing the will. Now, the
court is asked to decide whether only
one of the twins is entitled to one
fourth Of the estate, and if so,
which one, and what will be the share
of The other. Or whether the one
fourth interest should be divided
equally by the twins. Wouldn't you
like to have the case?

Boys Composition on Tobacco.

A boy wrote an essay on tobacco as
follows: Tobacco grows something
like cabbage, but | saw none
cooked. have heard men say that
cigars that were given them on cleo
ton day for nothing was mostly cab
bage leaves. Tobacco stores are
mostly kept by wooden %Jnjuns, who
stand at the door and fool little boys
by offering them a bunch of cigars
which is glued in the I%njuns hand,
and is made of wood also. I tried to
smoke a cigar once and | felt like Ep-
son salts. Tobacco was invented by
a man named Walter Raleigh. When
the people first saw him smoking they
thought he was a steam boat and
we're frightened. MY sister Nancy is
a girl. [ don't know whether she
likes tobacco or not. There is a
young man named Leroy who comes
to see her. | guess she likes Leroy.
He was standing at the door one
night and he had a cigar in his mouth
and he didn't know as she would like
it and she said, .Leroy, the perfume
is agreeable" But when my big
brother lighted his pipe. Nancy said,
"Get out this house, you horrid
creature. the smell of tobacco makes
me sick" Snuff is Iniun meal made

In the summer the appetite is apt 10
be capricious particularly in the morn
ing. Then something that tempts the
palate and leads the breakfaster TO
partake OF substantial meal is often
the antidote to day of failures. Hot
bread covered with good butter is so
light and delicious that few mouth
fus are often sufficient to spur flag
ging appetite. For some variation in
the usual list of hot breads try the fol-
lowing recipes:
Vienna Bread.-One pound OF -four.
one ounce of compressed yeast. two tea
spoonfuls of sugar. half level tea
spoonful Of salt. one ounce OF butter.
one egg and half pint of milk Warm
and sift the -four with the salt. Put the
yeast and sugar in basin and work
them together till they become liquid.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Make
the milk tepid; then add IL To the but
ter. Beat up the egg. strain IL into the
milk: then strain I'm the yeast and mix
wen. Make a hole i'm the middle Of the
-four. stir the milk. etc. into IL. Then
work in all the Hour. Knead well. place
the dough in n basin, cover IL with
clean cloth and put it In warm place
to rise for two hours or Till the surface
is covered with cracks. Then take IL
out OF the basin and shape IT. To make
a twist take three even sized pieces OF
dough. roll them out lightly with the
hand till they are about six inches long.
Next lay them together. Joining the
tops by pinching and pressing them.
Now proceed with the actual plating.
which is done in the same way as Q
strand OF hair.
Oat cake Is simple and wholesome
food. To prepare 10 take enc pound OF
medium oatmeal. two ounces OF butter
or good dripping. a small teaspoonful
OF salt and water. Put the oatmeal and
salt into a BASIN rub the butter into II.
Then mix IN enough water TO make 10
into n smooth. stiff dough. Sprinkle
some oatmeal over the board and roll

and roll out to the desired thickness.
Then either cut IL i'm pieces about three
inches square or stamp out rounds with
a cutter Slightly grease a frying pan.
Put i'm a few cakes and bake over n
