would Bear Him fin Mind.

James Cobb tells a curious story OF a
lady, sister Of Owen Tudor, who, like
Henry the Eighth, was greatly given to
marrying, and did not die until she had
been led seven times to the altar. When
she was following her fourth husband to
the grave, the gentleman behind whom
she rode on horseback ventured to urge
his suit. "Unhappily," said the dame,
thou art too late. seeing that I am
plighted already; yet do not lose heart,
for. should it fall out that I have again
to perform this melancholy Office. viii

thinks about when she's married is
keeping house, and I know that my
wife-to-be will say, What am I to- dor

has to do will be to look pretty and at

Conversion bian't .sstick..

A year ago w. L. Coombs, section
foreman, killed Arthur Smith at Lib
eral, result of beating which
Smith and his brother had given
Coombs' son. Coombs was indicted on
a charge of murder in the first degree.
While he was awaiting trial there was
a Salvation army revival in town, and
Coolnbs protested conversion. He
arose in meeting one night, confessed
to the murder of Smith, announced his
intention Of deciding his home, all the
property he owned. to Smiths widowed
mother, and pledged himself to pay
$40 month for her support as long as
she lived. He decided his home to
her the next day and began the pay
ment of the monthly allowance, where
upon the prosecution was allowed to
drop by mutual consent. But now
Coombs has backslid. He does not, 1t
is alleged, adhere to the articles OF
faith which he embraced on his con-
version, and, more to the point, has
ceased paying Mrs. Smith her month
ly allowance. The people of Liberal
have, therefore, organized move
ment for the prosecution Of Coombs
on the old murder charge, which was
dropped. but never dismissed. He will
be tried at the coming term of court.
and his conviction, on his own public
confession at the revival, seems GER
tain, which will mean imprisonment
for life for him.

The Secret of Success In Making
the Real OId-Fashioned
Article.

Some time ago tour club gave a pie
festival and, Of course, invited husbands
and brothers as usual. One of the men,
bers who had been noted for her fine GUS
tards Of all kinds furnished a perfect
pumpkin pie. She was urged for a
recipe, but insisted there was nothing
unusual in her formula; until asked why
the pumpkin custard didn't break into
cracks in the baking, her answer was:
Use more eggs and less pumpkin" And
this is the secret of success with pumpkin,
apple or sweet potato custards, says a
household authority.
When mother used to make them
she took her time in cooking the pump
kin. Deep colored pumpkins were con-
sidered best. The pumpkin was cut up
and the seeds taken out The slices were
pared and cut into smaller pieces, put
into sauce pan with but little water and
cooked slowly till tender, then set on
the back of the stove where 1t wouldn't
burn and slowly cooked. stirring often
until the moisture was dried out The
pumpkin looked dark and rich when it
was pressed through a colaEder.
To three cupfuls of the prepared pump
kin, add one and one-half cupfuls OF
sugar, the yolks and whites of five eggs
beaten separately, pinch of salt, one
tablespoonful each of ginger and cinna-
mon and one quart of milk. Beat all to-
gether till well mixed and foamy and
bake in moderately slow oven till a
wooden toothpick inserted comes out
clean. If the pastry is not baked enough
to leave the pan readily it must re1 ain
