FIN EIex)Qfor Cupid
CARROLL w. RANKIN.

The inhabitants were chary of in
trusting themselves to the elevator
in the Bailey building, for it was CON
nected with an electric motor of such
unstable character that the initiated
had lost all confidence in it as a
means of transportation.
Katherine, however, was not an
inhabitant. In her own town eleva-
tors pursued the even tenor of their
way without vagiaries of any sort:
so, when her business with the pho
tographer on the top floor was com
pleted, the young woman, with every
reason to expect swift and unevent-
full journey to the street, stepped con-
tdently into the elevator.
At the fourth floor the elevator
stopped to admit second passenger,
man named Westcott. Westcott
differed from Katherine in that he
entered the cage like apartment with
a full knowledge of it's treacherous
tendencies, but Westcott that morn
ing was in a frame of mind to court
disaster. He assured himself as he
stepped in that it was a matter of
complete indifference to him whether
the elevator shot suddenly upward
and crashed through the skylight, or
dropped without warning into the
basement.
The elevator, however, did neither
of these things. Under the guidance
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-08-08

of a chubby, blue eyed youth, it pur-
sued its downward career until it
reached the space between the first
and second floors; there it quietly
stopped.
At sight of her fellow passenger
Katherine had turned pink with en-
barrassment. The man had muttered
something under his breath and had
bowed frigidly; for. before counting
disaster, he had eourted Katherine
apparently it had amounted to the
same thing. They had parted for
ever only the evening before. and
the ring she had worn for three
months was at that moment in West
colts trousers pocket, where he had
thrust it savagely at the end of their
quarrel.
"Why are we stopping here?"
asked Katherine, turning to the ele-
vator boy of the eherubic counten-
ance.
Cause we can't go on" returned
the boy, producing a bag of peanuts
and a dime novel and proceeding to
make himself comfortable. The
blamed powers off.
HAS it eyer-does it often go off
like this?"

new OUTLET
FOR OLD TOWN

In order that there may be an
outlet on an easy grade from Old
Town to the residence district be-
tween Point Defiance and Sixth ave-
nue., it is proposed to build roadway
through the gulch. This gulch COM
mences at Steele and Twenty-ninth
streets and the main branch termin-
ates near Fife and Nineteenth streets
The regular streets between Old
Town and this residence district are
so steep that it is almost impossible
for full load of goods of any kind
to be taken over them. The new road
will be somewhat longer, but the
grade is so easy it more than makes
up for the distance
The timber has been cleared from
the bottom of the gulch, and all that
would be necessary to make the road
passable would be the removal of the
brush and very little grading. The
expense, compared to the benefits to
be derived, would be small.
Besides being a serviceable road
way, the proposed road would be one
of the most beautiful drives in the
city.

ooh, yes" replied the boy cheer
fully. There's nothin' to be scared
of. Sometimes she runs all right for
as much as a week; then again she
won't bulge for six or seven hours
at a stretch"
six or seven hours!" gasped poor
Katherine.
Yep" replied the boy, settling
himself more comfortably on his stool
and opening his book. Once it was
longer but gin'rally they git her go
in in an hour or two. There's no
danger at all. Miss. d"
The boy gently discouraged further
conversation by burying himself in
his book. Katherine moved to the
end of the leather seat Westcott
at the extreme other end, stared at
the wall glOomily.
Katherine looked at her watch; it
was already past luncheon time, and
she had been too miserable to eat
much breakfast. Still-she bright
ened at the thought-she should not
starve, for she had with her a box
of chocolates she was taking home
to her sisters children.
She looked at her watch again
Only four more minutes had passed
but the pangs of hunger were becom-
uncomfortable. The chubby boy ate
peanuts with apparently no thought
of his fellow sufferers. Katherine

About Stale Bread.

French TOast.-Beat an egg in a
shallow dish, add a teaspoon of sugar,
a pinch of salt and one cup of milk;
soak six slices of stale bread in GUS
tard, drain and brown on each side
on well buttered griddle; spread
with jelly or maTmalade and pile all
lightly on dish. Serve hot.
Bread Sauce.-Cook half cup of
bread crumbs and a cup and half of
milk over hot water for 90 minutes;
add a tablespoon of butter, salt and
pepper to season; brown half a cup
of bread crumbs in a tablespoon of
butter and sprinkle literally over
both timbales and sauce.
Delicious Bread Pudding. Beat
four eggs separately until they foam
up, then add four tablespoons of SUI
gar; stir well together, add little
nutmeg, a teaspoon of Vanilla, Ia
blespoon of butter and a pint of milk.
Pour this over some stale bread pre-
viously soaked in some milk, place in
the oven and bake until well and
thoroughly Drowned. The more beat
ing of the pudding the better.
Fruit Charlotte-Charlotte is very
easily made and is good for little
folks. Soak bread crumbs, squeeze
and beat until they are fine and light.
Butter a deep baking dish, put in a
layer of crumbs, add a layer of any
kind of fruit, steWed or fresh, and
continue with alternate layers of
crumbs and fruit. Bread crumbs are
always on top. Scatter bits of butter
over the TOP and bake until brown.
Serve with sugar and cream.

the delay. When he did finally run
them down it was only to learn that
the roses of anticipation are often
lost in the ashes of stern reality. The
management declared that, owing to
the small crowd, they had decided
to declare the event off and the 500
bedroom suit with which Mr. and
Mrs Dorion expected to begin house
keeping went glimmering.
To say that the wedding party
was enraged is putting it too mildly.
They have made fools of us" said
Mr. Dorion. They evidently used us
merely for advertising purposes"
TO make matters worse, a company
of friends in South Tacoma, where the
prospective bride and groom live, had
arranged for reception for them
when they should return from the
Mardi Gras grounds.
Mr.. Dorion stated that he and Miss
Eley had intended to get married
next October, but had been persuad-
ed, on the false promises of the Mardi
Gras people, to arrange for the event
two months sooner.
One of the managers, in explaining
the failure to make good the prom
Uses to Mr.. Dorion, said that the re-
ceipts had been so low that the COM
pany could not afford to put up the
prize and have the ceremony take
place as advertised He said that
the show had been losing venture in
Tacoma.
Yesterday afternoon and evening
there We're not enough paid admis-
sions to the grounds to pay for keep
ing the gates open.
North Yakima is the next town on
which the Mardi Gras will be inflict-
ed. The aggregation will hold forth
there three days and then try to
work it's graft in Spokane.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-08-08

Almost before the crowd had left
the grounds last night the fake Mardi
Gras combination was being packed
for shipment to the next town where
the people can be played for good
thing. All that remained of the huge
humbug this morning was an acre of
confetti-covered grounG and the un-
pleasant memories of many dollars of
the peoples good money gone glim-
mering.
Saturday night, which was to have
been the big night of the show,
proved about as fiat failure as could
be imagined. A medium-sized crowd
strolled about the grounds and some
of the more joyful spirits scattered
few bushels of confetti around The
"spielers" worked themselves into a
frenzy, but could not induce the
crowd to invest two-bits in the tick
cts that admitted to the big show.
The much advertised marriage that
was to have been one of the features
of Saturday nights entertainment did
not take place. Judge Griffin was on
hand to do his part, Jules c. Dorion
and Sinnie Eta Eley were ready to
take each other for better or worse,
but the Mardi Gras management
couldn't make good After the we'd
ding party had waited about an hour
for the event to be announced, the
gallant groom went In search of the
management TO find out the cause of

Not Too Ripe.

To make good iellies the fruits
to be used must not be too ripe. Cur
rants make the best jelly while there
are some green ones still left on the
stem. Grapes should be used as soon
as they begin to turn. GOoseberries
are used green: cover with water
and cook until they begin to break
For raspberry jelly use two boxes of
berries to one Of currants. Use only
the parings, cores and seeds of the
ounces; add to the ounce juice the
juice of a few oranges to improve
the favor. Crab apples need the
juice of lemon to every pint of ap-
pie juice. Peaches do not make a
firm Jelly.

QUAINT UNCLE JERRY

Since Grants Time.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-"Uncle
Jerry" Smith, the Official duster" of
the White House, is dead Appoint
ed by President Grant when the SOL
dier-president first came into the
White House, Uncle Jerry had been
constantly on duty until a few
months ago. His age, 70 years, then
began to tell, and from that time un-
til his death, last week, the Official
buster" has been resting.
Before leaving for Oyster Bay, a
month ago, the president, aceompan-
led by George b. Cortelyou, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, visited Uncle Jerry at his
home The doctors say that the eff
feet of the presidents visit certainly
prolonged the old mans life.
Uncle Jerry had personal ac-
quaintance with every public man of
the country, and was a favorite with

A Remedy for Cnrns.

A homely remedy for corns is to
soak the corn in warm water and to
bind on a thin slice of raw onion.
In the morning the corn can easily
be removed. In case the corn IS
stubborn, protect the corn during the
day with a plaster and repeat the
onion cure on the following night.
Even a third trial may be necessary
for a large corn. After the corn has
come out the toe should be protected
by a large plaster until the wound
is healed.

Hints for Fall.

Smooth materials seem to be pop-
ular this fall and winter. Broad
cloth will be one of the favorites.
There is a murmur for plaids this
fall. If the plaids are adopted it is
probable that plaid skirts will be-
worn with jackets of cloth matching
the predominating color of the plaid.
Only incOnspicuous plaids will be ac-
cepted in America.
Taffeta silk is as popular as ever,
and will continue to be in good form.
Materials have their day and pass
on, but it seems that wolfe had come
to stay. 1t is still worn and PROM
Uses to become one of the staples.
1t looks as if the non shrinkabie
flannels would push out the mercer
lied waists which were worn last
winter.

More About Jelly Making.

To make good Jelly have in readi-
ness a three cornered bag of cheese
cloth with a stout cord fastened on
the top, a square piece of cheese
cloth and a large pitcher. Stew the
fruit in water which nearly covers It,
hang up the cheese cloth bag and
dip the fruit into it, Do not squeeze
the bag of fruit; let it drip into a
kettle.
While the juice is boiling put the
glasses into pan of warm water, put
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-08-08

a pan of sugar into the oven and fill
the pitcher with boiling water.
When the juice has boiled about
20 minutes, take it off, measure and
replace it on the stove. When again
boiling put in the hot sugar, one pint
of sugar to each pint of juice, and
let boil from to 10 minutes. Af-
ter this boiling turn the hot water
from the pitcher which has heated
the pitcher, wiring the square cheese
cloth from the hot water and throw
it over the top of the pitcher. Then
pour the hot juice through the cloth
into the pitcher and from pitcher
pour the Juice into the hot glasses.
The last straining removes particles
which may have been in the sugar.
When glasses are filled cover with
a bit of clean white paper dipped in
ALCOHOL or the white Of an egg and
set away in a cool, dry place. 4

The Word "AwfnlIy."

Awfully is a much abused word
and not common among we'll edu-
Gated people. To say a child is aw-
fully pretty means that she is so
pretty as to inspire awe. Such a
child may be spoken of as beautiful
or very pretty, though very is seldom
used by the person who expresses
himself elegantly.
