FINGERS Before Knives and Forks,

1t is sometimes hard to decide what
one may and what one may not eat
from the fingers.
,, Bread, first of all. But it should not
be buttcrcd in broad fat slice and
eaten bite by bite. A small piece OF
bread, preferably not more than enough
for a mouthfuI, should be broken from
the bread or biscuit, buttercd and
transferred with the fingers to the
mouth.
Then crackers, celery, olives, pickles
of the small varieties, radishes and
bon-bonS are eaten with the fingers.
Many of the dried fruits should be
eaten from the fingers.
Cake is eaten with the fork or is
broken and eaten like bread.
Corn on the cob may be eaten from
the fingers. 1t is with corn as with
! oranges: one never feels quite at his
best eating either, except in the pri-
vacy of his apartment.
! Authorities are constantly warning
| against eating chicken, game and like
foods from the fingers. Chicken is
eaten from the fingers, but it is lnelc-

OWNED that 1t was placed there as
distinguishing mark Little suspectIng
the terrible mission that tritle WAS des'
tined to fulfill, she reached down her
shapely hand and managed to Getach
it from the plume without being OBJ
served. Then a strange fancy came
into her mind--a wish to foil the de-
signs of the unknown person who had
thus marked her lovcr-and bending
over she fastened it firmly to the plume
of another knight standing just below
he" under the pretense of curling the
strangers plume more gracefully.
But suddenly the trumpet sounded.
and each knight betook himself to his
station, ready for the coming conflict
Then another trumpet blast burst
forth. causing the hearts of all to beat
fast with anticipation. and with slow
and majestic tread the comhatants
moved into the lists, each at an oppo.
site end Splendidly mounted, clad in
complete armor, and with sea of
waving plumes above their heads they
afforded truly magnificent spectacle
And then a third blast.
A laundering of hoofs. clashing Of
steel and the two plumed lines were
merged in one. 1t was glorious fight,
and the hearts of the spectators
throbbcd madly with excitement as
they beheld. Rravely each gallant
knight held his part, and the contest
seemed almost equal,
In the thickest Of the fight was the
lowborn rutfan, Bcrtram, overwhclm-
ing the white plumcd knights one af-
ter another with his prodigious blows,
and all the time searching eagerly for
his prcy-a knight with red spot on
his plume.
At last he saw the one bearing this
mark, and, forcing his way through the
contestants, was soon 10y his side. One

With thrill of cXultation he f"lt
that he had fulfilled his promise ANA
done to death the noble young knight
DE Bracy. But hardly had he dcliv.
cred the blow when Il white plumcd
knight swept up behind him, and with
n pOndCrous stroke of his sword fcllcd
him from his horse, where he lay
.,unncd beside his victim.
Throwing himself from his horse the
ronqucror placed his foot on Bertrams
neck, crying to him to yield.
But at that moment the king taking
pity on the brave knights, many of
whom were disabled. and on those OF
the white plume, who seemed to be los
ing the day, threw down his warder
and the combat ended.
Then, as was previously agreed to-
each knight. without changing his posi-
ton. removed bis helmet and displayed
his identity to the anxious crowd.
And he who had struck down Ber'
tram, removing his helmet, displayed
the features of Reginald De Hracy.
The one who had plotted his death,
too had fallen victim to his own vile
plans, for OH removing the helmet from
the head of him whom Bertram had
killed. the features of Sir Richard
Langley were exposed.

punishment he so richly meritcd, while

-rAg HAUNTED HOUSE.

With moses thick upon it's roof,
And gables old and gray,
II stands among historic oaks
A haunted house, they say.
A dashing British governor
First reared its stately walls,
And filled with guests and gaiety
Its wide and lofty halls.
Above the ball room mantel still
His portrait hangs; but Time
Has blurred it with smoky hand
And hidden it with CRIME,
So nothing of his oldcn grace
Nor handsome face is there,
But patches of his scarlet coat
And CLEANS of powdered hair.
Deep is the dust upon the floors,
The rust on lock and hinge;
Where shreds of tattered curtains wave
The moths have made a fringe
The spiders year by year have toiled,
And every vacant space
Of ceiling, wall or wndow-leage
Is draped with tilmy lace.
But in the roses or the snow.
When Ger the chmney's red
The new npon in the evening sky
Displays a silver thread,
The oriel panes between the oaks,
Shine out with candlelight
And strains of ghostly music blend
With breezes of the night.
For then troop of shadowy dame
Before his portrait dim
Tread all the reels and minucts
They used to dance with him,
The brcidcrcd muslin of their gowns
Is sweet with faint perfume
Of rQselcavcs gathered in the dew
In gardens full of bloom.
He leaves-'tis thus the legend goes
The tarniShed frame once more
To softly sigh the broken VOWS
So lightly made of yore;
He begs rose, and steals kiss,
And breathes promise low,
As when he loved and rode away
In summers long ago.
Leave undisturhed the empty house
To silence and to dreams,
Wrapped in the gloom of ancient boushs
Beneath its pale moonbcams.
Strange stories of the midnight hour
It's echoing rooms might tell,
But veiled in ivy, darkly green,
1t keeps the secret we'll.

&xAskxX plishment, it was little
wonder that he soon won the love of
the beautiful Blanche Faulconbridge,
who was called the fairest lady in all
England, in those old fcuda times
Only one man in the land bore i'll will
toward Sir Reginald. and he was Rich
ard Langley. Il dark. naughty and evil
minded Knight, who. once Il Suitor for
the fair hand Of Lady Blanche, was re
jected for Sir Reginald De Bracy. Rent
with the iierccSt pangS of Jealousy he
had vowed a terrible ycngcanc" against
the favored Suitor, and the forthcoming
tournament seemed to afford good
chance for the frlilmcnt of his vow.
At this tournament which was to b."
held In few days. one of the events
was to be a grand tilt between two par
ties of knights, each being twelve in
number. The peculiar feature of this
was that each knight was to preserve II
strict incognitO till the end of the
match, all cOatS-of-arms being rigor-
ously excluded, and the two parties to
be distinguished from each other solely
by the color of their plumcs; those of
one side being red ana the others
white. And this arrangement suggest
ed to the mind of Richard Langley 4
plan which, if successful, would rid
him forever of his hated rival, Kegin-
aid De Bracy.
The knights for each side had already
been chosen, both himself ami his rival
belonging to the white plumed knights,
and it had also come to his knOWledg"
that certain knight of the opposite
side was held absent by sickness.
And so it came to pass that, on the
morning of the tournament word was
spread that the missing knight Her

Buying a Nomination

Philadelphia Record
The New York Tribune says
that a Hearst boomer, whom il
does not name, explains the most
potent argument of himself and
his colleagues to be that if tie
National Convention will nominate
Hearst that gentleman will give
the National Committee a cam
paign fund of a million and a half,
while if it shall nominate any one
else the committee will have no
way of getting money except to
beg it from the financial combina-
tions, and, as these prefer a Re-
publican victory, that plan would
meet with little success.
We 90 not know how accurate
this is. But if true it would ex-
plain the selection of Hearst dele
gates; and nothing else will. If
it be true a rich young man is
hunting for the nomination with
his check book, and assumes that
the Democratic National Conven-
ton will sell its nomination to the
highest bidder. Within day or
two Southern Congressman said
that the Presidential nomination
had never been sold, but that a
Presidential aspirant was operat-
ing in his State on the assumption
that it would be. We cannot think
of any one TO whom he could refer
except Mr.. Hearst.
No Presidential nomination has
ever been sold. There are reasons
for suspecting that Republican
conventions have sold the nomina-
ton for the second place. But
neither party has ever sold the
Presidential nomination. We will
not believe that the Democratic
convention is capable Of such a
crime. But the general belief is
that Mr.. Hearst is offering a price
for it and thinks it can be got in
that way This belief rests upon
the fact that there is no considera-
ton except pecuniary one that
would bring Mr.. Hearsts name in
to the list of possible candidates.
But il the Democratic conven-
tion were capable of selling the
nomination it would be absolutely
unable to deliver the election. A
man who was suspected Of buying
the nomination could not be elect
ed, and it is idle for the Demo-
Gratis to hold convention and put
up ticket and go through the
motions Of a campaign when they
have no more chance of success
than the Prohibitionists.
