You look kind o. pale, Tom" said
Mr.. Pitcher, with an affectation of
deep interest, couldn't have had
much Of breakfast"
Splendid" replied Tom Bridger:
I'm afraid I'll have dyspepsia II Lyd
gives me such good meals"
Mr.. Pitcher smiled satirically and
went on wagging his head. 1t was
cherished tradition of Bayport that
Tom Bridger had made a great mis-
take in marrying Lydia Norris. A
young man, mate of schooner, and
with his way to make in the world,
needed help-mate, not pretty doll
So said the wise women Of Bayport
and Lydia Norris certainly had no ex-
perience in housekeeping. She had
even outraged Bayport ideas by choos-
ing to go to Baltimore for her school
ing instead of to the small school
house in Bayport, where her betters
had been content to learn. She might
know music, perhaps French and
drawing, but she couldn't cook, and
woman who couldn't even make a
corn dodger was pre-eminently unfit
to help a man along in the world.
ITS about time to put a reef in this
kidding Lyd about her cookin'," NUT
tered Tom, looking after Mr.. Pitcher.
The dinner that day, at the Bridger
home certainly gave weight to the
alarm Mr. Pitcher had manifested as
to Toms health. 1t was badly cook
ed dinner. A piece of mutton wasn't
cooked at all, and the potatoes were
in state of hard crisp.
cts the horrid stove" sobbed Mrs.
Bridger, at won't cook right"
IT'S a new stove" replied her hus-
band, land like a new ship, 1t must
shake itself loose, and Lyd, I'm going
TO have company for dinner Sunday"
Mrs. Bridger gazed at her husband
In stony horror.
"Im going to have Mr.. and Mrs
Pitcher Miss Grimes and Miss Cinthy
Paul" continued Mr.. Bridger.
You're never in earnest, Tom?"
quavered his wife.
"The bark Twilight is in the bay,
wind bound and I've asked Captain
Benson to come ashore and have din
ner and"
"Tom," sobbed Mrs. Bridger, "why
do you act so?"
he said he'd bring with him a
French nobleman who's a passenger
on the bark from Martinique" finished
Mr.. Bridger.
Tom" cried Mrs. Bridger, tragic
ally, you'll kill me. You know cant
cook"
"To-day's only Tuesday, by Sunday
you'll know how" rejoined Mr. Bridg-
er, optimistically.
The invitations we're delivered per-
sonally by Mr.. Bridger, who did not
fail to dwell upon the probable pres
ence of the French nobleman. The
proposed event caused much COM
ment.
"I'll go, but I'll take bite afore

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T
A Lot Of Trouble from Too Much
StarchY Food.

A little boy OF eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind Of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor know
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Grape Nuts
twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
"He has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs GO
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fno condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek. Mich.
II is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
foods that he could not digest, he new
er would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, set.

Dean Swift and His Visitor,


The great Dean Swift was noted
for his sharp speeches, which were
oftentimes cruel, but were sometimes.
as in the following story, richly mer-
tied:
He was one day visited by Dublin
printer, who had just returned from
London, and was dressed in a rich
coat of silk and gold lace, which he
had purchased there.
When he entered the room the
printer saluted the dean Familiarity
as if he were an old acquaintance. He
seemed so proud of his grand coat
that the dean resolved to humble
him.
So he pretended that he did not
know the printer; said that he was
an impostor, and babe him leave the
house.
The printer saw the mistake which
he had made, and, returning home, he
put on his usual dress. Then he again
went to the dean, and this time was
warmly welcomed.
"Ah, George" said the dean, 81 am
so glad to see you, for there has been
an impudent flop here in silks and
gold lace who wanted to pass himself
off for you, but | knew you to be al
ways a plainly dressed, honest man,
just as you are now"

hour the Bayport guests marched in

Mr.. Bridger stated, resting, being deli

came in together, and he was introduce
ed with great solemnity, as Mr.. Ro-
chambeau.
HE looks sweaty," whispered Miss
Paul to Mrs. Pitcher.
"He comes from hot country, pore
creetur," responded that lady, and
they're always sweaty."
The nobleman certainly looked
flushed; far more than the rather cool
weather demanded.

When Mrs. Bridger brought in, tri-

Bridger's enthusiasm knew no bounds.

The salmi disappeared with rapid
ity which attested its SAVIOR.
"I'll git the recipe for this here

Pitcher to Miss Grimes.
The remainder of the dinner was on
par with its beginning and wound
up with a masterpiece-an omelet
soufIle announced by Mr.. Bridger as
sulphur omelet."
you don't know when you've eaten
the pesky thing" remarked Mrs.
Pitcher, "but you know you've swal-
lowed something"
After the dinner was finished Mrs.
Pitcher took Mrs. Bridger to one side.
"Lyddy," she said, you can cook
certain, and | want a lot of recipes
from you"
Mrs. Bridger blushed and assented.
"Mr. Rosherbow," asked Miss Paul,
bashfully, didn't that dinner remind
you of Fraunce"
"Vraiment," replied the nobleman,
with a bow.
A deeply impressed group went
home from Mrs. Bridger's dinner
party. Mrs. Pitcher was murmuring
to herself about the salmon ducks and
Miss Paul about the distinguished air
Of the nObleman. Captain Benson and
his friend were sculled to the Twi.

changed his attire, resumed his pos;

Fined for Gambling at sumpter.

rumor that several of the Sump-
ter saloonmen were operating "21"
games for the benefit of their pat
rons and making no pretense of keep
ing the fact secret, came to the ears
of Sheriff Brown last week, and so,
on Thursday he made a quiet little
trip to that neck of the woods to in
vestigate the true state of affairs.
On his arrival after looking quietly
around and investigating. he located
a game of "21" in full blast in the
Capital saloon. Coming in suddenly,
and without any warning to the occu-
pants of the house, he discovered two
men seated in the rear of the saloon
enjoying their little game. Frank
Weir was the dealer, and one James
McGee, was the victim. Both were
placed under arrest by Sheriff Brown
for gambling and brought before Jus
tice Of the Peace Allen, where after a
brief investigation of their offense, the
judge fined the dealer, Frank Weir,
the sum of $50, and James McGee,
the minimum sum of IS.
The sheriff states as far as he was
able TO learn no other games were
going on in Sumpter.-Baker City
