HUTroN's ONE RECIPE.
It included a Paper Cutter, Ink
Eraser and Rubber Bands.


Eraser and Rubber Bands.
Perhaps the most ingenious and the
most original of all schemes for pro-
curing autographs was from lady in
n western town. She was raising funds
for the building and support of public
library, and she had conceived the idea
of issuing Il volume to be called 1.-THE
Authors Recipe Book" Authors from
oil over the country, the most distin-
guished of authors-always authors
with capital A-had been good enough
to send her a list Of the favorite dishes
of their own construction. with their
method Of making them.
The cookbook was one of the many
forms of literature to which the recip-
lent had never turned his attention. He
had no more idea of cooking than he
had of milking COW or of Harvesting
q horse or of setting hen or of build
ing q dynamo. He did not even care
what was cooked for him so long as it
contained none of the ingredients of
tripe and none Of the essence Of toma-
to. But he was asked to contribute
paper, which she would have repro
duced in facsimile, stating what he
could prepare most to his liking upon
a kitchen range or in chatting dish.
with his manner of procedure. This
quite nonplused him until he bethought
himself of one particular and peculiar
delicacy in the evolution of which he
could safely trust his reputation as an
expert. In reply, for which he received
no thanks, he said:
'tTake a long paper cutter; attach to
the same by means of rubber bands.

ink eraser firmly into marshmallow

Experiences Similar to This Have Oc-
casioned Considerable Comment in
Stafford Springs.
Few women are better known in
Lockport, N. Y, than Mrs. Pattie
D. Hall, as she belongs to one of the
best families and has large circle of
friends and acquaintance. In re-
cent interview Mrs Hall said:
"The experience have been
through in the last two years seems
like a miracle. was so badly off that
life seemed almost uncomfortable, and
my deafness increased so that I could
scarcely hear anything. The suffoca-
ton in my chest and the indigestion
caused by my catarrh, produced very
severe suffering. I had five different
physicians, bought everything that
anybody recommended to me, but
finally gave up in despair. -
Zone day my milliner asked me if
I had ever tried Hyomei. 1 began
the treatment, and can thankfully
testify that Hyomei does cure this
terrible disease. Since using it my
hearing is greatly improved, and the
only time I have any catarrhal trouble
is when I take cold. I then use
Hyomei, and always get instant relief.
My friends and acquaintance marvel
at the change in my health and hear
ing"
Hyomei has made many cures of
catarrh, and in connection with Hyo-
mel balm, of catarrhal deafness, in
Stafford Springs. Similar experiences
to that of Mrs. Halls have created a
large sale for Hyomei with Anders
Jacobsen.
The complete outfit, including the
inhaler, costs but 81, while extra
bottles are but so cents. Ask Anders
Jacobsen to show you the strong
guarantee under which he sells Hyo-
mel.

The Ruin That Is Wrought by Care
less Handling.
l have sold guns for ten years, and
in that time four of them have had
their barrels bulged, one by snow, one
by dirt, one by sand and one by some
thing else getting into it. One man
crawling through fence got little
snow in the muzzle. He could not re-
move it with his finger, so concluded
to wait and shoot it out, which he did.
but he found bulge like u pullet's egg
on the end of the barrel. Another got
some earth in the muZzle and shot it
out, and he. too, found the same kind
Of bulge on the end of his gun. An
other fred his gun at ducks, which
knocked him over on his back and fair
ly got away from him. When he pick
ed up the gun he found narrow raised
band around the barrel fourteen inches
from the muzZle. In this case wad
had probably lodged there. This Gus
toner thinks the manufacturers ought
to give him new set Of barrels. | tel
him if the barrels had not been good
ones it would have been burst in
stead of bulge, which might have
MANNED or killed him. Another man ly
ing ON point brought down duck with
broken wing which scurried for the
water. The man ran and struck the
duck with the muzzle Of the gun and
in SO doing got sand in it. He blew
most of it out and shot out the rest OF
it. Well, after that shot he foun,I a

Lobster Mortality High,

A lobster lays thousands of eggs,
most Of which hatch, but few ever live
to grow up. This Is not the fault Of
the mother, for she carries them about
with her for nearly a year and with
admirable instinct guards them as she
does her own life. When the young
are set free her duty is done, for they
must then shift for themselves. Though
hardly larger than mosquitoes, being
about one-third of an inch long, the
little ones leave their parents on the
bottom and swim toward the light-to
the surface, where from one to two
months, if fortune favors them, they
lead a free, rowing life. The open sea
is a poor nursery for such weaklings,
which become the sport Of every storm
and the prey Of numberless hungry
mouths. Out Of a brood Of 10000 it
would be rare chance for more than
one or two Holsters to reach maturity
or finally to end their career In the
kitchen or the chatting dish.-st. Mich

CHAPTER X-(Continued).

When they reached their destination
Sanford picketed them at about inter
walls Of twenty PAGES in positions from
which they could observe every ap-
proach to the bridge. For himself he
chose position close to the bridge on
the reservation side
The men were instructed to keep In
hiding and to observe absolute silence.
When Raider and his gang were at the
bridge Sanford would give rallying
cry, and his men were TO close in and
surround the attacking party.
It was 10 o'clock before all the men
were posted. and Sanford went to the
place he had chosen for himself and hid
in the brush.
The woods were perfectly quiet, save
for the occasional call of a night bird
which was heard in the distance, and
presently answered Soon the calls We're
coming from several directions.

sooner, and then began to wish for It,
Finally he determined to reconnoiter.
He cYawled out Of the brush SO carefully
that he made no noise.
He got to the river bank. and a few
yards down the stream could dimly see
the yellow tinbers Of the bridge. He

and all he could do was TO watch the
fight and endeavor to distt 1guish his
friends from his enemies.
Suddenly there came a shout IN the
woods over to the left. and me recog-
nized the voice of Donan.
There was q rush of meaA and he
could distinguish in the noise that fol-
lowed the ring of the Winch testers in
the hands of his men from the sharp,
short bark of the revolvers US ID by the
would-be bridge burners Then he
knew that his men We're char: sing, and
the others were making for the cover of
the woods, into which they plunged and
soon disappeared from view.
In a few moments he heard tire shouts
Of his party, returning victorious.
He climbed down the bank again to
look at his enemy of momeutt before.
but he was gone. Whether he had re-
vived and made off, or had faien back
into the stream and been washed away.
Sanford could only guess.
At the point where they had rolled
over the bank, however, he pick ed up a
Mexican sombrero with n fancy red
leather band and bullet hole through
its top.
