TOO MUCH MONEY
FOR AN 0LO Timer
An Idaho Miner Who Thought
He'd Be Worried by an
Excess of Cash.
PASSED UP TEN MILLIONS
After Striking a Rich Lead Vein He
Did Not Sell Out Because the
Money, He Said, Would Be
of No Use to Him.

Macon, Mo-, special: did you ever
think what you would do with it il the
skies were suddenly to drop $40, 600, 600
in your lap?" asked W. b. Willoughby,
a mining expert, who is in Macon visit
ing his cousin, w. II. Sears, former
state senator.
Il am well acquainted with an cid
man. Mr. Willoughby continued, who
mad that identical proposition to face,
and he turned it down quick. Why?
He said he wouldn't know what t. do
with II. He deserves it because he
worked eleven long years for it md en-
dured the greatest Irivation, and now
that 1t has come in quantities

Thomas Day was .! years old when
he relocated the claim that had been
abandoned by Frederick Harper on the
mountain side near Wallace, Idaho,
tarted a tunnel and called it the Her.
Jules mine. He was Il carpenter by
trade. but abandoned his craft for the
siren call of the lodes. Day la hard
ly enough to eat. and he and his two
boys had to work out by the day at
other mines to make a living. Between
times they pegged away at their tun-
mel. AS the gears rolled by their credit
went down to bed rock, and starva-
ton threatened. People hadn't the

before they were completely ruined.
But their faith IN the claim was as
the nope OF the just. b three years
ago Day made a trade with asgrocerw in
Wallace to let him have 5000 worth OF
groceries for an eighth interest. The
grocer made the deal more out OF SYM

PRn6Ow6Iaa.

The real pandowdy, made after good old New Hampshire rule, is sea- soned with mo1asses instead of sugar. When it is done it resembles big, un- couth sandwich, reeking with juice. To make it after this fashion put into a deep baking dish slices of juicy sour apples, cover them with nlolasses and season them with trace of salt, dabs of butter and cinnamon or nutmeg. Cover the dish with a rich biscuit crust and bake in a slow oven until crust and apples are done. Then remove the crust without. breaking it and put half the apples on plate. Place over them the crust, turned bottom upward, and on it spread the rest of the apples Serve with rich cream. Peaches and all kinds of berries are suited to the same process. ..

How to Can Ce1erx.

There are two reliable ways to can celery. The following is more gener- ally used: Scrape the celery, using the tender white stalks; cut in lengths to At half pint glass jars with large mouths, pack the pieces in closely and set the jars under the cold water fau- cet and let the water run over the eel ery fox at least twenty minutes. Then screw down the covers tightly and set away in a cool, dry closet The other way is this: Wash and scrape the ten dor white stalks, cut in lengths to fit zhe jars, set the, jars in steamer and cook for forty-f1ve minutes. Then put them in salted boiling water and cook latrty minutes longer. Screw down 5AS lids and cook ten minutes more, axA there you are. One good house lneeper cuts white celery into inch pieces and preserves them in spiced white vinegar as little white onions.

Sensible Notions For the House
 keeper of Moderate Means.
 Young folks and inexperienced house wives may find assistance in some hints from Table Talk about accom- plishing house preparations for an en- tertainment of any kind: It is never best to economiZe too closely in the matter of helpers who are strong of arm and are accustomed to continuous hours of service. One cannot be clear headed. smiling and gracious as one should be when entertaining if nerves are tingling with overfatigue, and a bright and rested hostess is the most important part of an entertainment.
 In communities where it is difficult OF impossible to hire assistance spirit of common helpfulness sometimes pre- vails. Experience has shown that wo- men like to be asked to render these services for one another, and no one should hesitate to invite assistance from any mistaken notions of pride or independence.
 One should never be ashamed of her household belongings because they are not of the latest pattern if they have been put in the best possible condition by means of paint, varnish and furni- ture polish. These things will work wonders not to be believed by those who have not tried their renovating powers. 'N
 Any decorative objects which show use and wear should be removed, espe- ciaIly from sleeping rooms, and when the furniture is not new simple white for bureau and stand covers will be less likely to call attention to the fact than colors.
 A vase of flowers or a delicate grow ing plant may supply the desired note of color, and combined with white will give an air of elegance and refinement, I have seen an old teapot of flowing design in blue ware, filled with yellow flowers and placed on the top of a white chiffonier in simply furnished room, which seemed to change entirely the effect of the surroundings.
 One notes with a feeling of pain the growing tendency which some young girls have of wishing to relegate to the attic or junk man every article which they are pleased to term old fashioned, forgetting that this sort of thing is out of character. There is safe rule to follow in regard to this, and 1t is that any article whatsoever, if 1t be good of it's kind and capable of being put to any proper use, may be retained.
 There is much more gentility in china than in plated silverware. The one grows more valuable with every year of life, while the other is soon out of style and fit only to be cast aside.
 A liberal allowance of outside air is also needed to freshen everything. Let the window remain open as long as possible, remembering that there is great deal in atmosphere to promote sociability

How to Make Cheese Fondue.

Savarin's famous recipe for cheese fondue is worth preserving. "Take first as many eggs as there are guests and then about a third as much by weight of the best gruyere cheese and half of that of butter. Break and beat up the eggs well in saucepan, then add the butter and cheese, grated or cut into small pieces. Place the sauce pan on the fire and stir with q wooden spoon until it Is of a soft conscience, put in salt according to the age of the cheese and a strong dose of pepper that being a special attribute of this ancient dish-and, finally, let it be brought to the table on a hot dish"

She was very pretty and very young and very sorrowful looking, and as Arnold saw her sweet lips culver and tear roll down her cheek he felt an irresistible desire to take her in his arms and kiss and comfort her.
 He had only known her a few days and wondered how she would take it. She would resent it probably and make him feel like a fool And there were two young women walking further down the beach.
 Arnold stopped to examine shell, but his eyes glanced stealthily at the forlorn little figure sitting on rock few yards away. She had not seen him, and he crept nearer.
 Under his immaculate fannels and faultless ''chappie" attire there was al most womans tenderness. Anything fin trouble appealed to him stray dogs, lost children, or pretty girl in tears. He glared at the two young women lingering on the beach and muttered into his mustache an emphatic Con found itl'

CRITICISM OF THE BIBLE.
New Woman Said It Was Good in Places and "He Got Hey
 in the End.0

A new woman had just moved into the neighborhood. Shew of the distinct lit erary type. Books were her hobby, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Her neighbors called. One of them in particular seemed to desire to make an impression. She professed an euthu- siasm for new books and borrowed sev- eral. The books were rereturned within a few days, but always without comment as to their contents, very much to the disappointment of the lender.
 Book after book was borrowed and re- turned with the same result. Finally, after two or three weeks, when the ann bilious neighbor called again, new morocco-bound Bible was lying on the parlor stand. The neighhor picked it up and glanced through it.
 "I believe I'd like this,'' was the re- mark, the same as usual
 Well, take it, said the oblfging new neighbor, "and when you finish it let me know how you like it, she added, with the slightest twinkle in her eye and a shade of suspicion in her voice.
 The borrower hesitated for moment, took the book, and was gone with it for over week. -a..
 Finally she returned with it, laid it where she had found it, and. thanking her obliging friend, started to go without word further.
 Well, how did you like it?" called the book lover after the others retreatine fgura
 "Oh, don t know" was returned; tits good in places. But he does finally get her in the end, don't he?..'
 The book lover is still dazed.
