GRApIIIC

L. f. Riddle. OF the Kansas City En-
Gineering Company, used to live in
Minnesota. and was talking the other
day about the Twin City feud,
Minneapolis and st. Paul hate each
other. Incredible TO all save Minneso-
tans is the mutual aversion that smoul-
ders in these fair cities hearts. This
aversion never lessons. On the con
trary. it is being daily increased. Thus /:
"a st. Paul man was invited to Min
neapolis TO make a speech. 1t was
hoped that in his speech he would say
pleasant things of Minneapolis. 1t
was hoped that his speech would. may
be. bridge the breach between the two
cities.
But, alas, this is the way the st.
Paul mans speech began:
"'When man from Minneapolis
does a good deed. his townsmen erect
a monument la his honor. There are
no monuments in Minneapolis THE

a PERTINENT QUESTION.

Hannibal Hamiin. for many years a
United States Senator from Maine.
and President during the Civil
War, was wont to tell the following
story on himself: An Englishman by
the name OF Pearson, while passing
along the main street in Bangor,
stepped in hole in the sidewalk. and.
falling, broke his leg. He brought suit
against the city for $1,000, and engaged
Hamli.- as counsel.
Hamlin won his case. but the city
appealed TO tne Supreme Court. Here.
also. the decision was for Hamlins
client.
After settling up the claim, Hamlin
sent for his client and handed him n
dollar.
What's this2Y asked the English
man.
That's your damages after taking
out my fee, the cost of appeal and
several other expenses" said Hamlln.
The Englishman looked at the dollar.
and then at HGmlin. whats the
matter with this" he said; sis it bad?"

PichIInG Cucumbers.

In making pickles the cucumbers
should be treated several days with a
strong brine, which will draw the
water out of the cucumbers. which
water will be replaced with vinegar.
The cucumber is nearly all water. and
ii the vinegar is not acid enough the
water will weaken the vinegar so that
it will not be acid enough to act as an
antiseptic. Ii can be improved by Il
handful OF fresh Glove or allspice
thrown Oh the top. This spice CON
tains an aromatic oil which floats on
the pickles aud acts as an antlseptic
which will help weak vinegar in saw

hope no one will believe the story
that strong vinegar will eat up the
pickles. The story is often told by
some who ought to know better TO
convince a prominent dealer of the fall

found that my appetite was tickle, a bad

odd times. Perhaps, while stood talk

alarmed at my condition and, having

Something For the Hou.ekeeper-.

The state of the irons has much TO
-. with the success of the ironing.
Yen the irons show tendency to-
wards rusting or black specks. it is
Lfime that they are washed in soap
suds. Dry them carefully after this
washing. Sandpaper is good thing
to have at hand when irons become
sticky with starch. Rubbing an iron
once or twice across the sandpaper
Will render it smooth again. If the
sandpaper is lacking. dry salt on a
piece of paper will answer the same
purpose. Flatirons should not lie left
where the steam of cooking can reach
them, as that causes them to rust.
Always set the irons away on end
rather than fiat on the shelf. Those
which have once been allowed TO grow.
red hot never retain the heat so well
afterward.
