1t was only from a perfect under

much of the virtue of the table was
upon the resources OF this
hen ranch whose fame was spread
abroad throughout the land. Saved
by the surprising grace of pie and
chicken fixings." the hating place
chosen for so slight reason by Buford
and his family had become perma-
nent abode, known gratefully to many
travellers and productive OF more than
living for those who had estab-
lished it. 1t was, after all, the imam
cial genius of Aunt Lucy, accustomed
all her life to culinary problems, that
had foreseen profit in eggs and chick
ems when she noted the exalted Joy
with which the hungry COW punchers
fell upon a meal of this sort after
season of salt pork. tough beef and
Dutch.oven bread.
At first Major Buford rebelled at the
thought of inkeeping. His family had
kept open house before the war, and
he came from a land where the
thoughts of hospitality and of price
were not to be mentioned in the same
day. Yet he was in region where
each man did many things, the first
that thing which seemed nearest at
hand to be done.

the attractions Of corn bread and

of a real genius gone astray on this
much miscooked world.
Thus the little Southern family

from her seat near the window,
whence she had been gazing out over
the wide, fiat prairie lands and at the
blue. unwinking Sky. Gathering each
bit of stick, she and Aunt Lucy
drove away the two grinning daylight
thieves, as they had done dozens OF
times before their kin, all eager for Il

had come in upon the range. With

two corralled the excited but terror

GOT THERE AT LAST.
Presidents Messenger Long Delayed
by Senatorial Courtesy"

by SGndtOTldl SOo' NSSJ'
One of the prerogatives of United
States senator is that when he steps
aboard an elevator in the senate wing
of the capitol he is carried immedl-
ately to his destination, no matter In
which direction the elevator may be
bound or who may be aboard. Three
rings of the bell indicate that~a sena-
tor wants to ride, and the conductor
loses no time in responding to the
call.
One day last week Mr.. Barnes, the
assistant secretary to the president,
stepped aboard a senate elevator
from the ground floor. In portfolio
under his arm he carried a message
from the president of the United
States to the Congress.
Senate floor" said Mr.. Barnes, as
the conductor shut the door.
Just then there were three rings of
the bell and the indicator showed that
p senator wanted to be lifted out of
tne terrace The elevator went down
instead of up, and Mr.. Barnes went
along. The senator in the terrace
only wanted to go to the ground floor.
AS he stepped of, however. there was
another senatorial ring from the ter
race. The senator wanted to go to
the gallary floor, and the elevator
went there without stopping. As the
car started down there were three
rings from the ground floor. and again
the car failed to stop at the destins-
ton Of the presidents secretary. For
tunately for Mr.. Barnes, this senator
wanted to get of at the senate floor,
and the congress, after long delay, re
ceived the message from the presi.
