Little Tom. Choice.

A certain small Tom was going out
to luncheon by invitation. His mother
was anxious he should behave well,
but. wisely recalling that simplicity Is
the essence of all true politeness. gave
him but one caution: "Act, Tom. as IL
you were at home; take what you want
with a Yes, please and decline any
thing with polite No, thank YOU Be
as honest as at our own table," trust
ing that with his confidence estab-
lished the continual home sowing Of
precept and example would bear its
fruit.
At night Tom reported results. II

A UNIQUE DORMlTORY.
One That Is Owned by the Univer.ity
of the south.

One That IL Owned by the University
of the south.
Dean Hoffman was noted for char
liable impulses, which his large income
allowed him to indulge In. Some years
ago the dean invested heavily In land
In u small southern town which was
then enjoying boom" period. Among
the deans other investments WAS q
beautiful little hotel, exquisltely ap-
pointed and perfect In every detail.
After awhile the boom fell through,
and the little hotel became u losing IN
vestment
At this time the chancellor of the
University of the South, an old friend
OF Dean Hoffman, was on n hunting
trip with him In the mountains of
North Carolina.
I'VE are badly In need of n dormitory
down at Suwanee." said the chancel-
lor.
YES" said Hoffman and sat think
ing for moment well. you can have
the hotel building down at B." nam
Ing the town. "You can take 1t to
pieces and move 1t to Suwanee. 1t
ought to make pretty little dormi-
tory"
The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements t.
move the hotel, when. to his astonish
ment, the citizens of the town obtained
an injunction against Its removal or
the grounds that the hotel In a way
was public property and that to re
move II would leave the town without
any hotel accommodations. A legal
fight followed, but the university won
out in the end. SO the University OF
the South reyels I'm the luxury of the
most unique dormitory In the world

The CLUMSY MAN.

The great virtue about the really

TIE COOKBOOK.

In baking bread 1t Is better to overdo
rather than underdo the work.
TO make good dlgestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and it Will
be light and hcalthful.
If there IL not batter enough to I'LL
the gem pan, put cold water In the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheescs, which have the
largest percentage Of fat, are those
which blend we'll with bread In sand
wlehes or with macaroni or rice.
For n quick cake beat until thick
four eggs. Add four tablespoonfuls of
sugar, half cup of flour, n little elm
namon and lemon rind. Beat well and
spread on baking pan. Bake In quick
oven and cut at once.
Sweet potatoes are much richer twice
cooked. Baked or boiled merely, this
vegetable Is good, but when the bak-
Ing or boiling Is followed by subse-
quent cooking In the pan or in tho
! oven they are far better.
A fine cheese pudding IS made by
| grating five ounces of bread and three
| of cheese. Warm two ounces of butter
In II quarter of pint of fresh milk and
mix thoroughly. Add two well beaten
| eggs, salt and bake half an hour.

The japanese have the most perfect
kindergarten system In the world. In

by punishment inflicted. Their play ap-
paratus for such purpose is elaborate,
but all Of 1t Is adapted to the infant
mind, which 1t Is designed at once to
amuse and to inform. The little ones

ENeLlsHMAN AND TURK.
How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.

An Englishman has just had a very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent Turk some
money, hut the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid par
tlcular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest son
was making arrangements according
ly, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could
One day the Englishman received q
visit from member of the family,
who said that there were now four
members of II left, and they We're
ready to pay, but one of the daughters
refused TO subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter, and II the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added.
az you see there is any difficulty just
say TINT you leave 1t TO be settled in
the next worldr'
aNtoluiikty tut rsiSiiNiilhuH went "
the house ut the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of a
mollah, the ladies being behind
screen. The mollah began by asking
II he had truly lent the money, how
much It was and If he would take any
less. One of the women behind kept
saying 1t was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for 1t,
that they had told him to come and
get 1t and II they did not want to pay
1t he would leave the matter to be set
tied In the next world.
There was dead silence for few mo-
ments. and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
| without word. II seems the prospect
of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious thing to face.

"smaIl Talk" and Real Talk.

The privilege Of having some one
with whom we may exchange a few
rational words every day, as Emerson
phrases 1t, IL the choicest gift In life.
We are rich in society and yet poor In
companIonship. In the overflow of
chatter we are starved for conversa
ton. Social life IL 80 largely an affair
Of representation, 1t incIines so largely
to the spectacular and to what its
chronlcers designate as social func-
TONS" that the element of CONVERSE
tional intercourse is almost eliminated.
Yet, primarily, Is not that the supreme
object of all friendly meetingi When
we reduce to first principles this com
pick thing called living do we not go
to our friend solely to talk with him?
Do we not invite him solely that we
may exchange ideas and compare views
OH subjects of mutual interest? Still,
as things go. people meet all through
n season In the midst Of groups and
throngs-at dinners. receptions, enter
tainments Of all kind without exchang-
ing one word In the way of true inter-
course. Home and Flowers.

Andy watched them euriously and re-

Andy watched them curiously and re-
marked to his fireman:
Just watch them fellows stop us.
There's enough of 'em to set every
brake In two minutes"
Cardigan never told man more than
was necessary to carry out plan OF
action. That was the reason he usual
ly came out with flying colors. BY the
time the strikers found the brakes
were useless and began to realize how
they had been fooled the train was
running fully thirty miles an hour and
still gaining speed. A few of the more
daring jumped off, but the results wit
messed by those who remained ON the
rapidly moving train discouraged emu
the top of the cars.
"Podeck," as usual, led the men, and,
turning to his ever faithful partner.
Pete, he hurriedly said:

you see them fellers watchin' US?

Podeek saw the point and hedged.
well, boys, l guess we're In for It,
What'n we do now?'
McCollum spoke up. Lets sue for
peace; I'm willin'.'
A rush was made for the caboose,
where Cardigan calmly watched them.
1t was hard dose to swallow, but no
compromise was now possible.
Cardigan. you've got u.s." was Reds
brief introduction. I'VE want to go

'Oh, you do, do you? Aren't you hay

are not kicking ON the fare. are your
was Caddigan's rejoiner.
Not word was said until McCollum
in his squeaky voice walled: "Och,
be aisy on us an let us OFF"
well. l guess not" said Cardigan.
This is a through train; the first
stop Is fifty miles out; the fare back
is only cents mile, and that will
give you very cheap one hundred
mile ride"
They all began TO plead for mercy
at once, and Cardigan relented when
McCollum winningly exclaimed: BE
dad! We're fifteen miles out now and
| want to get home to supper. I'm
hungry this mlnute!'
well, seeing It's you, I'll let you
off," said Cardigan. but, remember
you owe me fare; you forgot TO pay it,
A stop signal slowed up the train,
and the men deJeetedly dropped along
side the track, sadder and wiser
party. 1t was an extremely hot day;
they were over fifteen miles from East
Corinth, and wide stretch of bottom
land lay between them and home. The
road was coal slack ballast and at

Mrs. Browning wore her hair In long
ringlets, which, falling very much over
her face and when seen in profile, sug-
gested the unpleasing idea Of blinkers
that harshly cut across the graceful
curves of brow and cheek. 1t was this
style of arranging her dark hair that
made Mrs. Browning look not old
fashioned, for that would have given
a touch Of sentiment, but strangely
out of the fashion. Her slight. pretty
figure was rather disguised than set
off by garments that fell Topping
around her. But, thank heaven, she
was entirely and utterly free from the
