Corn pone is famous Southern delight
that has doubly endeared many an old
nanny to fond recollection. A fine recipe
for the only and original corn pone, such
as Aunt Mandy used to make, is the fol-
lowing: Sift a teaspoonful of salt into a
quart of Southern corn meal, add a table,
spoonful of melted shortening and enough
colo water to make a soft dough. Mold
with the hands into thin, oblong cakes and
bake upon the griddle, turning once. Eat
while hot, splitting, not cutting, the pone
open TO butter Ii. This bread must be
made with genuine water ground corn meal.
Northern meal will not do.

Too LATE WITH THE DOLLAR
Hurry up with your fare!" cried the

"Tn give it to you in a minute" re-
turned the boy. But as he searched
in pocket after pocket his face grew
scarlet. Its in my other suit wrap
ped up in this paper" he explained.
None Of that" interposed the con-
ductor. You'll have to get off,"
wait a minute, conductor, and see
if he isn't telling the truth" said a
prosperous looking man.
Meantime the boy, his face redder
still, united his bundle and proceeded
to rummage through the pockets OF his
old uniform. At last he fished out a
nickel.
You are an honest boy" said the
prosperous looking man. Here's a
dollar"
The messenger boy looked at the
dollar and then at the man.
Not if I know it, mister" he ex-
claimed loud enough for everybody on
the car to hear. II don't want no pay
for bein' honest. Besides, you're too
late wild de coin. Wen you seen dat

One night, rather late, they passed a

Iselin said: We'll have some fun
with the milkman," and he entered the
yard, busted himself mysteriously for
a moment, and then pounded on the
door.
A figure in white appeared at an up
stairs window and bass voice said:
What's the matter down there?'
1.-The matter is," piped the boy, that
your best COW is choking. You had bet
ter come down to her."

descended, but Of his kind informant ne
could not find no trace. Neither could
he find any trace Of choking cow
