BASTED THE CHICKEN.
Amusing Leaf from the Experience
Of q Dear Woman Who Knew
Little of Cooking.

Said q woman who knows how to
cook nearly verything: II was very
poor anc unworldly when I first mar
ried, ana had lot of things to learn
about the simplest affairs of house
keepinss 1t was shocking, l know, not
to know how long to cook an egg, for
Instance. I let the first I cooked stay
on 20 minutes, I believe. Walter was
awfully considerable, andthated to hurt
my feelings. When the first batch of
bread I made could not be sliced I
concluded that had better get a cook
book and learn it in earnest.
'"Ihe first thing wanted to do, of
course, was something wildly ambi-
tious. I had no mother to 60 to for
advice, and as Walter and were miles
from his family, it wasn't much better
that way.
"sI am going to have chicken I
told my husband.
"'Don't you want me to select it?
my husband asked.
'But said no, and stubbornly start
ed out to get it.
''It was round and plump-looking
creature, and I fancied the surprise
I would have in it for Wally.
''Then I took the book and gave it
a thorough examination for how-to-
cook-a-chicken recipes. There seemed
to be numberless confusing ways, and
I had difficulty in selecting one that
looked simple.
II had scalded the hen and in taking
off the feathers had torn the skin
somewhat. was wondering what to
do with it, when I saw those never to
be forgotten words: Basic WELL
"Certainly would haste we'll. Had
I not seen, in my grandfath kitchen
once, the very needle and thread they
evidently meant? She had used it,
found out later, for sewing up the stuff
ing in turkey. But, never pausing to
consider what reason she might have
had. I leaped to the first conclusion
that entered my mind.
II obtained a large darning needle
and stout thread, and carefully sewed
and darned the wrinkled skin of that
fowl. It was sight for gods when |
got through-so knit and knoted that
'Wally's knife and carving fork caught
in the charred stitches when I had
it. cooked after four hours.
"'What's the matter?' asked my hus-
band, looking UP at my tear-stained
face as he probed and sawed and got
tangled up in the basting.
"I'm sure I, don't know said, and
broke down completely. Il basted it
well,' I managed to blurt out between
sobs.
"'Basted it, said my husband. well,
I should say you did, and when I
quoted down he told me what 'bast-
ing meant. I laughed, too, but it was
horrible, nevertheless" - Milwaukee
Sentinel.

In the wire grass region of Georgia quail
are very abundant, and are known to the ma
tives as cartridges" says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
Recently one of the south Georgia Crack
ers" sold off lot of turpentine land and de-
cided to indulge himself in trip to far off
New York while his money was still in hand.
Once in the amazing metropolis, there was
another indulgence he was determined on.
Delmonico's was name that had long ago
tickled his fancy, and quail on toast was Z
high, bred dish that he had long yearned to
know personally.
So to Delmonico's he hied himself, and
there ordered the delectable bit. It came,
he eyed it severely, then tasted, finally
sampling thoroughly. But his after com.
ment on the feast savored of that sad knowl.
edge which borders close to disgust.
"Wall, eff hadn't come to New York ia
never knowed that quail on toast warn't .

Manhattan IL; Fort Riley o.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 16-Agricul-
tural college defeated Fort Riley Sat-
urday at Athletic park by score or
II to O. Coach Dietz's farmers feared
the result, owing to the loss Of Captain
Towne, quarterback, and Orr, right
tackle Tilley kicked off for Fort Riley,
but Manhattan soon had the ball one
foot from the soldiers goal line, where
they lost on downs, and Riley punted on
80 yards. The farmers obtained the ball
and the soldiers. by a series of line
plunges, were pushed over the line for
Manhattan's first touchdown. No goal
was kicked. The college kicked off af-
ter a few line smashes. The Fort furn-
bled and Walker made a dash from the
center of the field for another touch
down. Tilley kicked goal The. first
half ended on the Soldiers l0-yard llne.

Dartmouth IL; Harvard o.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. ia defeat
more pitiful than any recalled by friends
of Harvard and one in which there was
not a feature to give comfort to the
undergraduates of the university, was
administered to the Harvard eleven by
Dartmouth Saturday afternoon. The
final score was IL to in favor of the
New Hampshire college team, and the
fact that this score was made in the
first contest of any sort played upon the
new Stadium grounds was felt to add
ignominy to the position of the crimson
men. Harvard displayed great weak
ness. Plumbing and the instability Of
Harvard's defense were most apparent
and with the possible exception of A.
Marshall, every man in the line was
fairly outplayed by his Dartmouth OPP
ponent. On almost every play the Dart
mouth men got the jump and showed the
Harvard line back, and only once was
Harvard able to hold Dartmouth even.
In punting Harvard was outclaSsed.
Harvard's only chance to defeat Yale
next week has been thought to be in the
snappiness of her play, but this feature
was markedly absent Saturday. In the
first half after Dartmouth had secured
the ball on a tumble. she carried 1t by
short rushes across the line for goal.
The score remained to in Dart
mouths favor until the half ended. In
this period Vaughn made spectacular
run of 40 yards behind perfect interfer-
ence. In the second half Harvard used
many substitutes, but to no avail Dart
mouth found every part of the crimson
line weak For 80 yards she carried the
ball down the field. gaining at every
Iunge and sending Turner over Tor the
second touchdown.

BASKETBALL AT BURLINGAME
Usage City Defeats Two Teams in
One Evening.

Usage City, Kan, Nov 16.-The Usage
City high school basketball team Sat
urday night won double header at
Burlingame opera house, defeating both
Burlingame and Barclay high schools.
A crowd of so rooters, lead by the Usage
City Athletic club basketball team ac-
companied the team and assisted by
Sunny the team mascot, did much
towards helping Usage on to their VIC
tories. Barclay had about 20 enthusi-
asts with them while nearly the whole
of Burlingame was out, led by the Bur
lingame band. So much feeling was
displayed that several encounters oc-
Cured between the Usage City crowd
and the other crowds. The reason for
this is that Usage is known to be about
the best, if not the best basketball team
in the state, boasting of two teams
which are seldom defeated
The first game was between Usage
City and Burlingame, and was a very
rough and tumble game, both teams be-
ing equally to blame. Burlingame was
handicapped by an eclipse on her
neved led look in and Usage was the
easy winner by a score of % to g. The
lineup was as follows:
Ocage City-Center, w. Miller; guards,
M. Miller, Lake; forwards, Davis and
Ferris.
lingame-Center. Bratton; guards,
Perkins and Williams; forwards, Beal
I and Doty.
Officia1s-Miller, Warner, HSllburn ana
Gable.
In the second game the Usage boys
received some good practice for the
games which are to come latter this sea-
son. Barclay played a good defensive
game but was woefully weak on the Of
/ fensive. At no time did the Usage noys
exert themselves but obtained safe
lead and then toyed with Barclay. The
Usage City Athletic club team will take
a whack at Burlingame high school at
Usage on next Friday night and this
should be a good game as the athletics
are as strong as the high school and
Burlingame is expected to show great
| Improvement this week
Monday night the Usage City boys Will
| celebrate their big victory.
The final score of the Barclay game
| was II to and the lineup as follows:
Barclay-Guards, Blackburn and Ben.

Hunt
Usage City-Guards. Jones and MIMI
Ter: center W. Miller; forwards, Ferri:
