Again, the truth is that the poison

TIME TO HEDGE
BooIsmaker wouldn't Lend Money,
hut Gave Good Advice.


Several turfmen were discussing the
sharp methods of a certain bookmaker
who adds TO his income by money lend
ing. He was conceded TO be hard
man to deal with.
But III bet $500 that / can borrow
$1,000 from him on my personal re-
cognlZance," said one.
Done" answered the crowd stimuli
taneously, and as he could only stake
one bet they pooled against him.
Thinking he had sure thing, lie went
off with an accompanying committee
to see the money lender.
"Mr. Cash" chat wasn't his nance, he
said. these gentlemen have bet me
$500 that cannot borrow 1000 from
you. don't need the money. but you
let me have 1t for day, and I'll di-
vide the bet with you"
The. committee gasped, but the effect
Of the cool proposition was unlocked
for. Instead of jumping at the chance
Mr.. Cash buttonholed his interlocutor
and said:

90 II, nut nniess tine arr mas Deen learn
ed In Turkey 1t is difficult.
No one can make a perfect cup OF
coffee unless he has been to Turkey
There is as much difference between
the ordinary cup of coffee and the
exquisite and alluring beverage with
all its subtle aroma as made by the
artist as there is between horsehesh
and the best English beef. The Turks
method Is simple. They have many
little pots OF various sizes. II they
want TO make two cups only they use
the smaller one, and II three cups a
larger one. When the water has boiled
they ill the little pot almost to the top
with water. then put In three Jumps
Of sugar and put the pot on the fire to
boil. When 1t Is hot they put in two
teaspoonfuls OF coffee ground very fine
and then stir 1t round until It is thor
oughly mixed with the water.
The next step is to place the pot on
the fire again and watch it very care
fully until the coffee bubbles up to a
froth. and before this froth escapes
over the side you take the pot from the
fire and tap the bottom gently on the
stove till the froth goes down. Once
again the coffee is allowed to bubble
over the fire, and the process of tap
ping the pot on the stove is repeated
three times.
When the froth rises to the surface
for the fourth time the pot should he
taken from the fire and the coffee
should be poured first into one cup and
then into another, so that each cup
contains a portion of the froth on the
top.
The Engiishman cannot make coffee
at all He tries hard. but never sue
ceeds either in making perfect cup
of Turkish or French coffee. The
Frenchman. on the other hand, also
tries hard to make perfect cup OF
Turkish coffee. but he meets with lit
tie more success than the Englishman.
One thing must never be forgotten
the coffee must be freshly roasted and
ground. 1t must not be roasted too
black. a dark brown is the ideal color.
Then the favor is divine. = Boston

into the mouth OF Slmpliclo. the foolish
opponent OF the Copernican theory in
his catalogues" an argument that
Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised
and insisted on Calico Incorporating in
the work. Calico made Simplicio quote
1t as an argument he had from very
eminent and learned parsonage" The
enemies of Calico persuaded Urban
that he had been made game of" and
this was the offense of which Calico
was guilty. It was not for upholding
the theory that the sun stands still and
the earth moves that Calico was tried
by the inquisition. Urban himself had
supported the Copernican doctrines
both as cardinal and as pope.
