Fond Of Turkey.

Representative Gambler of Missis.
sippi, says that whenever Thanksgiv-
ing day comes round he always re-
members what Gov. McNutt, now long
dead, said about eating turkey. Nc
Mutt was a great gormandizer, per
forming gastronomic feats which were
almost past belief. On one occasion
the old gentleman was finishing up a
turkey, or rather, the best portion of
it, when one of his friends said:
Governor, you appear fond of roast
turkey?"
Il al sir" came the response, "but
do you know, sir, that a cussed turkey
is a devilish inconvenient bird?"
How inconvenient?"
Well, sir middling size turkey is
a little too much for one man and not
enough for two"
Gov. McNutt was the same indiyid-
ual who. while governor of Mississippi,
approved a law passed by the legisla-
ture restricting the sale of whisky to
one gallon. He said that it gave him
pleasure TO put his name to the docu-
ment, for he had always believed that
nothing less than one gallon was cal
culated to 60 any Baltimore
Herald.

Salt Useful
in Many Ways

Salt is most wonderful article in
the household. In washing colored
goods a little salt in the rinsing water
viii prevent the color from running. 3"
lt Is important, however, that too
large a quantity be not used, as It
may rot the goods. A cupful Of salt
10 about two even pailfuls Of water Is
the correct proportion A little salt
rubbed over earthen pudding dishes
viii efectually clean off rusty spots
that seem TO be burned into the ware
A little salt and vinegar viii clean
thoroughly all metal saucepans and
copper kettles. A copper or brass
dish must be finished latter using
salD with little sand, soap and
cloths. so as TO leave no signs of the
salt behind.
An iron-rust stain on any white
summer clothes may be completely
eradicated with a little salt and lemon
juice, If exposed to the hot sunshine.
Spread brown paper over the grass
and lay the material over it, so that
the lemon and salt do not strike
through TO the grass beneath It. Rinse
out in water and try a second applica-
ton If the first is not sufficient.
There is no surer way to destroy
grass and weeds that spring up unin-
vited In walks and gravel paths than
to SOW them with salt and sprinkle
thoroughly with water.
A cup Of rock salt is a delightful
addition 10 the bath.
i is said that the eyebrows viii be
come much thicker if little common
salt is rubbed into them.
Salt IL not only a good disinfectant
externally, but It is often taken in
cases Of poisoning. A handful Of salt
dissolved In water win generally be
sufficient to induce the vomiting al
ways necessary after swallowing a
poison. 1t should, Of course, be given
Immediately
Salt is apt to attract dampness
therefore put it in box with a tight
cover and keep in a dry. warm place.

long and hard over the unpleasant
ability Of the beast, With much labor
he found box of lozenges, which the
girl took in her hand, and again
Midas went on.
When he arrived at the home Of the
lady who had sent for him, NJ. Jouail
had written five prescriptions gratuit-
ously, and by the time he arrived
home he had written nine.
At the cafe that evening he made
many inquiries concerning that good
NJ. Denis"-a thing which he found he
should have done before he bought
Midas.
He found out that NJ. Denis, while
living, was a simple soul, who had d.
vided his patrons into two classes, the
rich and the poor. those who paid and
those who did not. And as those who
did not pay we're the more numerous,
it was agreed between them and the
doctor that they should speak to him
as he went forth to see the clients
who paid their bills.
Now you understand Midas. Accus-
toned to meet only the poor, the
horse had learned to distinguish them
better than the doctor himself He
would stop and bend down one ear
while the prescription was being
written. then, when the sick person
had taken the paper, would start on
willingly enough.
NJ. Jouail entered his Office and
made some grave reflections.
"shall | sell that horse? What will
the town say? That the new doctor
is SELFISH that he does not care for
the lower classes, and only works for
money!"
He walked out to the stable.
Can / correct that beast, teach him
different manners2"
He looked at the animal, noted
Midas knowing eye and almost
human intelligence. He was almost
ashamed.
So he took his part. He became a
new good M. Denis" He had, like his
predecessor, the two classes of clients

w. w. Padgett, an attorney at Fort
Scott, has made a discovery that is
new 10 the legal fraternity and bust
ness men in general. II is said that
the last two days of December this
year, December 80 and 81, are only
ono day legally. 1t seems that way
back during the reign of Henry III,
when the lunar months were disposed
of, changing the first Of the year from
March 25 to January /, and making
the calendar on the irregular lengths,
the law that governs the calendar Of
today was established The leap year
was provided for in order to make the
time come even, but at the same time
it was provided that 365 days shall
constitute a year in all cases, SO that
every time there is a leap year the
last two days shall count as one in
all legal papers. II note falls due
on tho next day TO the last day the
executor has until the end Of the
next day to take It up.

SHE aEBuKED A CONDUCTOR.
He Ordered an Aged, Infirm Woman to
"Step LiveIy.n

He Ordered an Aged, lnfirm Woman to
"step Lively"
1t was on League Island car going
south, says the Philadelphia Press,
the time was high noon, and as usual
there was variegated assortment of
persons inside, while out on the front
and rear platforms passengers stood
huddled together like sheep.
The conductor, a tall youth, who
had evidently not been ringing up
fares for many months, was in bad
humor because people did not step
lively enough when leaving or enter
ing the car at the various stops
AT one of the street crossings the
car stopped an an aged woman, care
worn and feeble looking, got up and
slowly, with the aid of backs of the
chairs, started toward the rear to get
of
Come, come, there, lady, step live
"; we can't wait here all day" i'm
petuously shouted the conductor.
The old lady glanced up at the tall
youth in kindly manner as she
passed him and in a low but pathetic
voice replied: Il am moving as fast
as can, my boy, and would step live
lier. but have been sick all summer,
and this IS the first time l have been
out since last May. Didn't you ever
have mother, lad?"
It is needless to say the conductor
was humility itself for the rest OF the
trip.
