OLD 'D0MINEGK"
COCK OF THE WALK

Now that the poultry show has
come and gone, an amusing story Is
being told about il certain chicken
faucier. This gentleman, who shall
be nameless- has quite chicken yard
with ''dominecks, which va
rietv are good either fried, boiled or
stcwed. The Major Domo of the
flock was an antiquated rooster.
The cares of supplying worms from
daylight until dark for his large
family was about all the old gentle
man could do and he was conse-
quentIv an easy mark for the neigh
boring BOOSTERS.
In some manner it mus have been
circulated abroad in chickendom,
for the roostcrs came from far and
near, To do Il little training for
harder battles. 1t became so that

old one thought he had NOT coniplet-

pet was receiving, and one day dur

he conceived a brilliant idea. Go

most ferocious game cock he could
find. and carefully concealing hm

Transformed the game bird into
fair Likeness of the old Sdomlneck,
and except for a pair of sharp spurs
and savage glcam of the eye, no
apparent change has been made IN

yard. The aged ''domineck was
securely locked up and his substi-
ttte was turned loose TO await de-
velopments. It was a sad day Tor

How to Use Sour Cream.

Sour cream may be used in any reel
pc for cake or breakfast breads in
which sweet milk, baking powder and
shortening are required. The same
quantity Of cream is taken as when
milk is called for, but the quantity Of
shortening is reduced and the baking
powder is replaced by baking soda.
The amount necessary of the last in
gredient is in direct proportion to the
quantity and acidity Of the cream, the
usual rule being one teaspoonful QeveD
of soda to one pint of thick sour cream.
The soda Is usually dissolved in a
small teaspoonful Of boiling water,
added to the cream, stirred until the
latter is foamy, then turned at once
into the dry mixture. If the cream is
we'll soured, the ingredients rapidly
mixed and the oven properly heated
the result will be very satisfactory,

WILLIAM AND BISMARCK.
One View of the kaiser's Break With
the Iron Chancellor.

the Iron Chancellor.
The first thing after his (Emper-
or William's) accession which really
struck me as a revelation of his
character was his dismissal of Bis
harck. By vast numbers of people
this was thought the act of N ex-
ultant young ruler <ger 10 escape
restraint, and this opinion was con-
siderably promoted in English speak
ing countries by an ephemeral cause
-Tenniel's cartoon in Punch en-
titled dropping the Pilot" AS
most people who read this will re-
member, the Iron Chancellor was
therein represented as an old,
weather beaten pilot, in storm coat
and sou'wester, going slowly and
heavily down the gangway at the
side of great ship, while far above
him, leaning over the bulwarks, was
the young emperor, jaunty, with
satisfied smirk and wearing his
crown. There was in that little
drawing a spark of genius, and it
sped far. Probably no other car
toon in Punch ever produced so
deep an effect, save possibly that
which appeared during the Crimean
war with the legend, General Feb
ruary Turned Traitor" 1t went
everywhere, appealing to deep senti-
ment in human hearts.
And yet to me, admiring Bismarck
as the greatest German since Luther,
but rejecting upon the vast interests
involved, this act was proof that
the young monarch was a stronger
man than any one had supposed.
Certainly this dismissal must have
caused him deep pang. Ali his
previous life had shown that he adj
mired Bismarck, almost adored
him. The dismissal revealed deep
purpose, strong will. Louis XIV.
had gained credit after the death of
Mazarin by declaring his intention
of ruling alone, of taking into his
own hands the vast work begun by
Richelieu. But that was the merest
nothing compared with this. This
was apparently as if Louis MIL,
Immediately after the triumphs of
Richelicu, had dismissed him and de-
clared his purpose of henceforth be-
ing his own prime minister. The
young emperor had found himself at
the parting Of the ways and had de-
liberately chosen the right path in
spite of almost universal outcries
at home and abroad. The old En-
peror William could let Bismarck
have his way to any extent. When
his chancellor sulEed, he could drive
to the palace in the Wilhelm
pat his old servant on the
back, chatf him, scold him, laugh at
him and set him going again, and
no one thought less of the old mon
arch on that account. But for the
young Emperor William to do this
was fatal. 1t classed him at once
the rois faineants, the mere
figureheads, "the solemnly consti-
tuted impostors," and in this lay not
merely dangers to the young mon
arch, but to his dynasty and to the
empire.
To me his recognition of this
fact was and is a proof that the ia
vorable judgments of him which 1
had heard expressed in Berlin were
we'll founded.-Andrew D. White in
Century.
