VOLUMES OF JotiNNYcAKES
Rhode Island Housewife of the Early
Time Made Ready for Ex-
pected Company.

Asan illustration of the thrift and fore
sight of some of the housekeepers of the
early period, Halsey P. Clarke, the vet
eran town clerk of Richmond, tells this
story, says the Providence (R ID Jour
nal. His father, David Clarke, was in
Providence at one time, and, being
obliged to stay over night, for in those
days the means of travel was by horse
and wagon, or horseflesh, which was
necessarily very slow, he put up at a
tavern, and in the room he occupied
were four beds, for there was not much
space wasted in the bedrooms of the
old-time taverns. Before retiring for
the night, Mr.. Clarke and friend who
was with him struck up an acquaintance
with another occupant of the same room.
The friend of Mr.. Clarke whispered to
him not to tell the stranger where
they came from, and to try to find out
whence he had come; so they inquired
of him where he had come from, and
he told them that he had just been down
in South county, in the town of Rich
mond. He said that when he arrived
in the town it was nearly dusk, so he
drew up at tavern and inquired Of
the landlord for lodging for the night
The landlord replied in the affirmative
and sent boy to take his horse, as he
was on horseback. The gentleman went
with the boy and removed the saddle
bags and brought them into the house,
and, throwing them down in the kitch-
en-, stepped up to the fireplace to warm
himself Over the fireplace was a
mantel Shelf which was nearly half as
long as the room itself, and upon looking
up he saw on this shelf what he supposed
to be row of books.
While he was wondering why there
was such number of books in this tav-
ern, more books, he thought, than were
in the entire town, the woman of the
house came in and stirred up the fire
preparatory to cooking the evening
meal. He inquired of her: "Why is it
you have so many books here in the
kitchen? Is the towns library here,
or what is it?" "Books!' exclaimed
the astonished woman; II don't see any
books. Where are they? Show me
them" Right on that Shelf" replied
the man, lover your head" "Books!"
said she, ooh, la! them amt books;
them's johnny-cakes. We expect the
town council here to dinner next week,
and we've baked them johnnycakes SOS
to be ready when they come" Wheth-
er he mistook the johnny cakes, packed
neatly on end upon the shelf, for books
or not, it is hard to say, though there
is no doubt that the story did not lose
in the telling, but by actual
count there were 70 johnnycakes on the
shelf.

The Game Loser.

E. r. Thomas was talking at Sara
toga about game losers. LAS game a
loser as ever saw" he said, went to
the Prix de Paris some two or three
years ago. He was st. Joseph man,
and he bet on the grand prize every
cent that he had with him. He bet, of
course, on the wrong horse. L'Aiglo
Noir as the animal he picked was
called, proved to be the slowest entry
booked. But the st. Joseph man, with
ruin staring him in the face, watched
the race from start to finish with loud
laughter. From the beginning his
horse was last, and from the begin
ming he shouted: 'Hurrah! hurrah!
L'Aigle Noir forever! See how he
drives them all before him! Ha, ha!
Hurrah for L'Aigle Noir!' "-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

LIVELY BALLOON VOYAGE,
Perilous Trip of European Aeronauts
Who Sailed Into the Focus
of Storm.

For the first mile, while slowly ris-
ing, the balloon zigZagged between the
lower currents, until at approximately
5000 feet it encountered main sweep
of air, which at that height was follow
ing the course of the valley below, says
a writer in Longman's Magazine. The
horizon had been clear at starting and
the impression was as we sailed along
in the current that we should have fair
passage, unless some cloud, not yet ap-
parent, in our wake could overtake us
at higher level. where wind velocity is
generally greater. Perhaps, therefore,
we paid insufficient heed to a murky
veil ahead of us, which began gathering
and deepening and blotted out the view.
We were soon enveloped in the gray
curtain and thus its true appearance was
lost to us; but at Newbury, our starting
ground, large crowd was watching us
entering vast and most menacing
thunder-pack and was wondering why
we did not come down.
The first real warning which we had
OF our predicament was flash of light
uiuS ClOSo Ou our quarter, answered by
another on our side, and almost before
we could realize it we found we were
in the very focus of furious storm
which was being borne on an upper
wind, and a wild conflict was already
raging round us. There was our own
fast current carrying us westward;
there was the storm cloud slightly above
us hurrying to the east; and added to
these there now descended pitiless
down-draught of ice cold air and hail.
We were doubtless in cloud which was
discharging lightning over a wide area
each flash, however, issuing from the
immediate vicinity of the balloon. and
the idea formed on the writer's mind
was that many flashes were level-that
is, as il from one part of the cloud to
another. Any that reached the ground
must from our known position have
been at least mile long.
There was another idea forced upon
the party, which was that they would
be more comfortable and far safer else
where, and when suitable opportunity
occurred descent was made to earth

In his address to Publishers at the
Battle Creek banquet Mr.. Post likened
the growth of a modern commercial
enterprise to the growth of an apple-tree.
Good seed, plenty of work and water
are needed, but the tree will not bear
apples without sunshine.
The sunshine to the commercial plant
is publicity secured by advertising.
1t is impossible even with the heaviest
advertising to make success unless the
article has merit of a high order. Merit
is the good tree and sunshine makes
the apples grow. A good salesman
who knows how to talk with his pen can
present the logic, argument and sales

How to Make German Pie.

delicious pie of German origin is
gaining favor here. 1t is made of crust
raised over night, as bread is raised,
with the addition of an egg worked into
it in the morning. Sweetened to taste,
this crust is rolled out about an inch
thick, laid in pan and the edges
trimmed. Peaches cut in slices are then
pressed into the dough, sprirkled with
sugar, and grated lemon may be busted
