London, Dec. 16.-Few bye-electiOns
of recent years have evoked Il tithe
of the interest shown in the contests
in the Dulwich division of Gambler

cancies caused by the deaths of Sir

while Major Coates and j. W. Cleland
represented the Conservatives and Lib

The question of the importation of Chi

Chamberlain expressed himself as de-
lighted with the result, and the pro-

the results as a complete triumph for
Chamberlain's policy.
Significance of the Result.
Both constituencies pOlled very heav-
iIy. Lewisham. which is largely Il
working class district. shows a reduced
majority of about 400 compared with
the last contested election in 1892. In
Dulwich. which is mainly the home
of city clerks a greater reduction
is shown. the majority for the Con-
servatives in 1895 having reached B.
COO These reductions are of small
significance. however in the face Of
the fact that the Chamberlain can
didates secured large majorities where
the free trade party undoubtedly hoped
to win. This double victory Will be of
great advantage 10 Chamberlain. VINO

Today. January /, nearly everybody
gets spunky. We resolve to do some
or refrain from doing SC ns.hing. or
remain doing the same old ,.,ing.
Is every resolution with regGvd TO
Doing The Right Thing?
There are many ways of Doing The
Right Thing.
Pull up the curtain and let little
more sunshine into the house-your
soul. Don't carry an umbrellaJ al
ways. That's Doing the Right Thing.
Don't jump on the otherISF Mellow.
If he's down. lend him little assist
ance. Brush his clothes-a kindly
word or smile. That's Doing iThe
Right Thing.
Be honest.
Pay your debts.
And above all else-always loo1
pleasant.
What a world if everybody looked
pleasant. There wouldn't be much
trouble on this old sphere IL We were
resolved TO look pleasant during the
coming year. Of course this isl hard
for the father of lusty -lunged, baby
boys, or the fellows who don't own
all the pianos in the neighborhood
during the summer mouths; or those
who find themselves in hotel, sleep
ing in the next room to a
look some pleassnter during the COM
ing year. This is bully good reso.
luton. if you've never tried it. 1t
would be Doing The Right Thing.
Those men who smoke and didn't
get box of cigars for Christmas
present will resolve to quit smoking.
That would fine. Every smoker in
town could own little home of his
own within ten years if he'd put that
resolution in force today. OF
course, cigarette smokers, if they
keep at it long enough. won't be
adopts at figures by the time tire
house is built.
So. let's begin Doing The Right
Thing today by doing some thing
which is right to do.
You'll feel better for, it.
You'll be stronger. Try some Right
Thing Today.

Plain Pie u

If you use lard for plain pie crust,
use the following formula: Put a
pound of -four into a bowl and mix in
thoroughly a teaspoonful Of salt. Then
chop in half a pound Of cold. firm lard,
cutting 1t into little flakes with a knife
(keep your hands away from all pie
paste). Add sufficient ice-cold water
to make a paste that will roll out with
out too much pressure. Mosten the
the side Of the bowl and drawing 1t
back out of the way when moist
enough, so as not to mix 1t in with the
next addition Of water, as it must be
put together as lightly and with as
little mixing as possible. When all Is
mixed, urn out on a Toured board and
roll out half an inch thick. Dust the
paste with -four and put quarter of a
pound Of butter over 1t in small bits;
roll the paste up lightly, so as to in
close the butter completely, and then
roll out the paste, from you, into a
long, thin sheet; then roll 1t up again;
roll out as before and roll again. Set
1t away on ice or in a very cold place
for al hour or two before making up
the pies. If you work quickly. in a cool
room, keeping the paste as cold as pos
sible; use only the best -four for pastry
having it freshly sifted to incorporate
air into it; have firm, sweet shortening
and bake in an oven that. has strong
under heat. this paste will be delicate,
light and fiaky and answer nicely for
plain tarts.-Washington Star.
