A FAITHFUL DOG.
His Story Has Passed Into HistOI
With tI,e Athp.liuns

His Story Has Passed Into History
With the Atheninns.
Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens dog whose faithfulness has
caused him to be mentioned in his
tory. and in the Grecian city his story
is often repeated. The dog guarded
one OF the heather temples at Athens.
One night thief stole into this build
ing and carried off some of the most
valuable treasures. The dog vainly
barked its loudest to frighten the thief
and to rouse the keepers, so the man
went off with the jewels. But the
faithful dog did not mean to lose sight
of the rascal, and all through the night
he followed him. BY daybrea!l the poor
animal had become very weary, but
still he kept the robber in sight. The
latter tried to feed him, but the dog
refused all food from him, and as be
made friends with passersby, he took
it from them instead. Whenever the
thief stopped to rest the dog remained
near him, and soon a report went
through the country of the animals
strange behavior. The Keepers of the
temple. hearing the story went in
search Of the dog, and they found him
still mt the heels of the thief at a
town called Cronyon. The robber was
arrested, taken back to Athens and
there punished. The judges were so
we'll pleased with the dogs sagacity
and faithfulness that they ordered Linn

SANDWICH FILLINes.
Several Good Varieties That Are
worth Trying.


Every housewife is more or less in
terested in sandwich filings. Here
are several good ones worth trying
Use walnuts, pecans, almonds or a
mixture OF the three. The addition Of
few black walnuts gives piquant
Brown or graham bread Is nice for
these sandwiches. The nuts are chop
ped quite fine. The bread Is cut very
thin, and Oh each slice Is laid let
tuce leaf. A teaspoonful of rich may
onnaise dressing Is spread over the let
tuce, and this is sprinkled thlckly with
the chopped nuts. The top slice Of the
sandwich, after being lightly spread
with butter, has also spreading OF
mayonnaIse dressing. Some people like
grating Of Parmesan cheese with the
nuts, and this can be used or not as
desired. The garnishing of this dish
should be leaves of delicate green let
tuce and set in each shelled half
walnut.
The remains of cold fowl and Of
cold ham or tongue can be used up,
the mixture being especially tasty.
The meat in equal portions is put
through a chopping machine until it is
fine enough to be almost paste. Pep
per and salt and a very tiny pinch of
ground nutmeg are used for seasoning.
The mixture should be wet with some
strong chicken stock. If no stock is
handy 1t should be well mixed with
some good melted butter, sufficient to
make it soft enough to spread easily.
White bread. lightly buttered, is used
for these sandwiches, which are cut in
squares or diamond shapes.
Use the remains of cooked poultry,
game or shellfish, cutting them into
small, neat pieces. Lay the meat on
thin slices of buttered toast. Spread
with thick sauce. For poultry or fish
mayonnaise is preferable, while for
game thick white sauce is best. Car
nish the tops of the sandwiches with
white of egg and pickles chopped fine,

A NipIins Correction.

Rudyard Kipling dined on one oc-
casion with party that included
several other we'll known writers-a
fair proportion of men and women
who knew something about litera-
ture and large number who knew
little and made up for their lack of
knowledge with pretense. Several
of the last described kind started a
useless discussion concerning spell
ings, pronunsiations, etc, and one,
firing his remark straight at Kip
ling, said, 81 find that sugar and
'sumac' are the only words begin
ming with 'su' that are pronounced
as though beginning with 'sh."
Bored though he was, Kipling's
politeness did not desert him, and,
assuming an expression of interest,
although his eyes twinkled behind
his glasses, he asked, "Are you
ure"-Chums.

A thinking boy asked the editor one
day why running or any other violent
exercise makes one hotter. Perhaps all
the boys and girls would like TO have
the question answered for them The
reason is that it quickens the circula-
ton of The blood, makes one breathe
faster and thus brings more air (and
OXYGEN into the lungs. Animal heat is
produced by slow combustion, and
combustion is nothing more than a
union of the oxygen of the air with
the combustible body or with some of
its elements. When we take air into
the lungs by breathing, the oxygen Of
the air penetrates the delicate vessels
and enters the blood, which carries it
to the heart and thence to the different
organs. Here it makes Il chemical un-
ion with particles of carbon from the
tissues, and that union makes heat.
The faster you breathe therefore, the
more oxygen YOU take in and the more
heat is generated Chicago News.

Laundry Irons.

Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty after
they have been put away for few
days. The way to prevent this hap
pening is before you put them away
to rub little warm grease over them
and then wrap them up in brown Da-
per- When You take them out to use
dip them in hot water that has had Il
small piece OF soda dissolved in it, rub
dry, and then put them to heat in the
usual way. When they are ready to
be used on the ironing board have Il
piece of brown paper with a little pow
dered bath brick on ii and rub the sEr-
face of your irons with this. 1t seems
rather lengthy process, but it really
does not take long to do 1t, and house
wives will be rewarded for the trouble
they have taken by finding the irons
delightfully."- smooth and easy to use,
and when they are like this the ironing
can be done twice as quickly.

Fattening Hogs.

A number of experiments-in fact.
nearly a hundred-show that to produce
100 pounds of gain on the hog in the
fattening pen it takes an average of
either 4S5 pounds of corn, 520 pounds
of Kafiir corn, 472 pounds Of oats, 439
pounds of peas, 452 pounds of wheat or
432 pounds of mixed grain. This shows
that hogs make more profitable gain
on ration of mixed grain. The above
figures are from pens where nothing
but grain was fed-no pasture or green
foed was given. In the Kansas station
an acre of alfalfa hay produced 776
pounds OF pork without grain. This
shows that pasture has an important
part to play in the ration for hogs and
that gains can be made more eco
nomically on dry lot feeding. = Ex-

Wfntering CabbnRen.

A method for. wintering cabbages
for spring use is to stand them, roots
up, in rows upon the ground in well
drained spot and cover them with
ridges of earth. II you want to keep
them from freezing, so you can get at
them any time during the winter, an
other method must be employed. Leave
the cabbages outdoors as long as safe,
then put them into a barn or other
outbuilding and let them get thorough
ly chilled, but not frozen through;
then cover them with straw, hay or
chaff enough to prevent them from
freezing solid, or you may put them
in heap outdoors, cover them with
roof of old boards, straw and earth.
The sides OF the structure may be
simply stuffed with plenty of straw
or dry forest leaves.

for dinner when one OF the neigh

"Why, Aunt Filura, isn't 1T an
unusually large soup kettle?" asked
the caller, with a calculating glance
at the stove on her passage across

AN EMERGENCY SPEECH.
Il Soothed the Indians and Probably
Saved General Gaines.

People often say very funny
things in times of emergency. 1t
was fortunate for the general whose
conciliatory efforts are described in
Mrs. jefferson Davis life of her
husband, that the Indians with
whom the men were dealing had no
great sense of humor. Lieutenant
Davis, then on the staff of General
Gaines, had accompanied his supe-
r rior officer to a conference with the
chiefs OF the Sac nation.
The council met in a tent. The
warriors, decked with war paint and
feathers, sat scowling and silent,
their arms stacked near by. Seated
with them was dark old woman,
shrunken to a mere skeleton,
clothed in white woolen. She held
herself with great majesty of mien.
The general bean tie council in
a hesitating manner. He explained
that it was necessary for the Indians
to move on, for the white man must
have the territory. At this the old
squaw became greatly excited and
began speaking with vehamence.
She declared that the Slcs must die
on their own hunting ground. The
general showed considerable irrita-
ton at her TRADE and spoke to the
interpreter.
"Tell hor-a-that-a-wornan is
not expected to interfere between
the-a--white and Indian braves.
She must be silent"
The squaw rose from her seat
with great impressiyeness and
stretched her skinny arms above her
head with u wild gesture.
Docs he say | am to be silent iii
the councils of my people? IN these
veins runs the blood OF the last of
the Sac kings. 1t is my right to
speak"
The chiefs rose about her, stirred
by her words, gcsticulating angrily.
1t was plain that trouble was at
hand, and the Indians far outnum-
bered the whites.
The general calmly listened until
the speech was interpreted. Then
he rose, with sweep Of the hand,
to command silence.
"Mr. Interpreter" he said, "tell
her-a-that--a--my mother vas
a woman"
This revelation brought grants of
satisfaction from the Indians, and
the frankness of the statement
pleased the old princess. Order was
restored, and the council proceeded
with the business in hand.
