Two Ways to Do Everything.

There is proud mother in West
End, who is telling this one to show
the brightness of her little daughter.
The little girl often runs errands to
the grocery store, but she has been
laughed at so often for mispronounc-
ing names of things that now she
will Only buy things that she can call
correctly. Vinegar has always
stumped her. She could not recall
the name without creating a laugh,
and she went on strike and declined
to buy vinegar. One day recently,
however, when the row of lettuce in
the garden got big enough for use,
the mother was compelled to send
the little miss for small vessel of
vinegar. The little one hesitated a mo-
ment, got firm hold on the vinegar
bottle, made for the nearest grocery,
hoisted the jug in plain view Of the
clerk, and said "Smell it and fill
it."-Greenville Daily Herald.

Corn Bread.

With good meal and cook fol-
lowing the lessons and traditions of
the old regime delicious bread may
be baked of Indian meal. But we
have grave doubts whether it can be
baked as well in a stove as in an
open fireplace. But, alas of the
latter only a few remain. An ash
cake, of course, must have ashes.
They are indispensable. AS we'll try
to produce mint julep without
mint. On the other hand, "flap
jacks" need only well creased fry
ing pan but skill is required to
turn them. That is done by pitch
ing them out of the pan into the air
and making them come down flap on
the other side. The corn pone may
be cooked in stove or range. The
hoecake was originally cooked on a
hoe in the fields and in negro cabins.
A skillet will do we'll enough for it,
but it must be well creased at the
bottom. So, too, with respect to
egg or batter bread. AS for corn
mullins the appliances of range are
admirably adapted to them.

things, have in it a big open fire.
place, black cook in a gingham
dress, with red bandanna on her

gooseberries, thyme, sage, currants

When one of those old time homes
and gardens and kitchens ia restored
and the host and hostess have
entered into possession, we. desire to
be listed as frequent guest, with a
reserved seat in the chimney corner.
Then all we shall want will be the
zest, the appetite, the righteousness
we possessed when we could eat
eighteen rolls and six eggs for
breakfast and consume whole wa
termelon between meals. But, alas !
it would be easier TO restore old

A Financial Showing for the State peni,sntlary.

Columbia, s. c., January 9.--Capt.
Griffith, Superintendent of .he Peni-
tentiary, has completed and filed his
report, making a most excellent
showing financially. Considering the
failure of the crops the previous year
and the fact that great part of the
supplies had to be bought, and fur
ther considering that .he price of all
such articles was nearly double what
they had been, the financial showing
is ~emarkable.
The financial part of the report
shows that there was on hand De-
cember 81, 1901, 11,787.02, and that
there had teen received since then
$72,282l9, making total cash sum
available for the year $84,O69.21.
After paying necessary expenses,
making permanent improvements,
amounting TO $4,000, there remains
balance of $1T,112.14. To this
must be added what is in sight and
soon to be available, making total
balance of $23, ,4O2.O4. The crops
were good this year, and after hav-
ing enough to run the institution for a
year there will be for sale 5000 bush
els of corn, 500 tons of hay and 5000
bushels of peas.
During the year there were 981
prisoners, but the number has been
reduced TO 701. There were three
pardons and 45 deaths. This SCENE
large number, and it is, but it was
caused from the fact that great
many diseased and physically worth
less prisoners were sent to the peni.
tentiary rather than to the chain
gang.

YAKIMA COMMERCIAL CLUB
PASSES RESOLUTIONS.
4 Called Meeting Yesterday Afternoon
At Which Some Important Matters
We're Discussed.

The Yakima Commerc al Club at a
called meeting yesterday afternoon
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Yakima delega-
ton to Olympia be requested to use
every means in their power to have
blouse Bill No. $780," introduced by
Robert Dunn of Yakima county, grant
ing bounty on sugar manufactured in
this state, passed.
This move was decided upon when in
formation came to hand that there was
no longer any doubt about the capital to
back up sugar beet factory in this
county. g.. S. Rankin says the money
stands ready to be invested as soon as
promise of beet acreage is given. There
has existed law giving bounty on
sugar produced in this state since 1898,
but it expires this year, wherefore this
new bill and its endorsement by the
people of this county. 1t means $500
per ton for sugar beets instead of $500
as originally stated by promoters.
Another important matter was taken
up by the citizens yesterday afternoon,
a thought suggested by communica-
ton received from F. H. Newell at
Washington, and the following resolu-
ton was passed:
Resolved THAT the Yakima delega-
ton at Olympia be requested to secure
the appointment of a commission by the
present legislature to prepare code Of
laws to govern irrigation and the stor-
age of water for irrigation purposes and
to report the same to the next legis-
lature
Mr.. Newell's letter appears in full in
ing upon a natter that has been a source.
OF much worry to number of people in
this valley the following letter and reso-
luton was ordered sent to Hon. Thomas
Cooper of Tacoma. 1t explains itself:
North Yakima, Wash, Feb Il, 1908.
Hon. Thomas Cooper, Gen. Ming.

Sr:-At a special meeting of the Iaki-
ma commercial club held this afternoon
the following was adopted: Resolved
That the citizens of the Yakima valley
acknowledge that the n. P. R. Co. con-
trolls the storage reservoirs of the Yaki-
ma river and its tributaries, and would
respectfully request that for the preser-
walton of existing interests and the flu
ture development of the Kittitas and
Yakima valleys, the n. P Ry. Co. do
not allow control of said reservoirs to
pass from them into the hands of any
person or corporation that will use the
same for the development of lands 9TH
er than those bordering on the Yakima
and its tributaries and draining into
the same.

Inspects the Rural Routes.

Postmaster Lemon last week made a
tour of inspection over the different
rural routes. He informs THE HERALD
that it is his desire to give the patrons
in the country the best possible service,
but in order to do so it requires the CO.
operation and strict compliance with
the regulations on the part of the indi-
vidual receiving mail. Some of the far
mers along the routes are careless re-
garding the matter of receptacles for
their mail and often have their boxes
so placed that it is impossible for the
carrier to drive up close enough to the
box to deposit mail without first alight-
ing, all of which takes time.
Mr.. Lemon will make another trip
when the weather is more favorable and
expects to find the routes in better
order, or else he will be obliged to dis
continue the service to those not inter
ested enough to comply with the sim
pie regulations.

The Rebekahs Entertain.

In the l. O. O. F. hall last evening
occurred a very pleasant entertainment
and supper, given by the Rebekahs OF
this city. There were present large
crowd of friends who were treated most
royalty, not alone to a good musical
program and other amusements, but an
elegant supper was served that touched
the heaats of all the men, even though
it might have been indirectly. DR.. p
Frank addressed the gathering in a
happy strain, and something that
attracted the profound attention OF
everyone was the guessing at 20 ques-
tions on the life of Washington. F. q.
Drew won first prize in this event, a
beautiful picture, and Mr.. Taylor took
the BOBBY, a nice bottle of catsup.
The Rebekahs are noted for their ex-
quisite manner OF getting up entertain
ments and refreshments.
