TRY THIS TO SERVE WITH SALAD

Are you tired of serving the same old
crackers each time you have salad :?
Try the following:
Take equal quantities Of English wal

bowl. over the top of each cracker
spread a thin coating Of the beaten

with the chopped nuts. sprinkling lib

The only particular part in preparing
khese crackers is the browning. as they
Require constant watching.
II is far better to chop the nuts with
"a knife, but if chopper is used be
sure to use its coarsest teeth. and do
|not use the prepared nut butter. as
the taste is by no means the same.

It was finally decided to send him to Fort Reno to the hospital. Ihe writer, with one other, was detailed to conduct the man.

Animal Escaped From a .Menagerie and Causes a Big Sensation.
 In the wild country to the west Of Northumberland hundreds of the in habitants continue to follow the track of the wolf which recently has laid the fiocks of the farmers under heavy tri- bute by staying their sheep.
 Two months ago a wolf escaped from the private collection of Shotley Bridge, twelve miles from Newcastle, and all traces of it were lost until about three weeks ago, when sheep worrying commenced in the Allendale district, @
 Raids have been organized and the wolf chased over miles of the snow covered fells by men armed with guns and various, weapons, but without re- suit. Some of the pursuers are said to
 have got within range of the animal with their guns, yet the disturber of rural peace has managed to escape. In many a lonely homestead it is a
 source of dread to the inmates, whose
 maginations run riot over the wolf as they listen to or retail the latest news concerning it's whereabouts. :.
 On Saturday supreme effort was
 made to bring him down, but he never allowed himself to get within range of his pursuers' rifles. He was finally chased by horsemen over the snow-cov- cred moors via West Burnhope, and ,, when night fell he had reached Dukes. field, q dense, wild wood covering an area of not less than seven hundred acres, within the solitude of whi chhe doubtless spent the night. x Intense excitement prevails in the
