In London the latest thing is a bill
of eat" that you may finish your meal
on. The sheet on which it Is printed
is the sugar paper used on the bottom
of naccaroens, while the lettering is
cake frosting. The London caterer
who invented" the edible menu card
has been honored by the patronage of
the king. The king Commanded"
the caterer to teach his chef to make
the edible novelty, and the kings chef
produced it for a dinner at Windsor
castle. There was much laughter as
the kings guests discovered that the
menu cards" were good to eat. They
promptly ate them. 1t is said that
the only bad thing about the cards Is
the bad French, and that is quite di.
gestible.

Going to Take a Day OF.

A postmaster, not many miles from
Billville, posted the following notice
on his shutter recently:
"All parties expectin' mail are here.

while we are waiting on All Foo
I'll show you some of Jacks Sketches %
he went on, finding a portfolio and
opening it upon the drawing board
"Are you quite sure Mr.. Winton
won't mind?" she asked.
Mind? He'd give months pay to
be here to show them himself. He is
peacock vain of his one small accom-
plishment, Winton is-bores me to
death with it sometimes"
"Really?" was the mocking rejoin-
der, and they began to look at the
sketches
They were heads, most of them, i'm
pressionistic studies in pencil or pastel,
with now and then a pen-and-ink bear
ing evidence of more painstaking
after-work. They were made on bits
of map paper, the backs of old letters,
and not a few on leaves torn from an
engineers note book.
"They don't count for much in an
artistic way" said Adams, with the
brutal frankness of friendly critic.

proclivities the other day"
81 shouldn't apologize for that, if I
were you," she retorted. 1T is well
past apology, don't you think?" And
then: What is this one?"
They had come to the last of the
sketches which was rude map 1t
was penciled on the leaf of a memo
randum, and Adams recognized it as
the outline Winton had made and used
in explaining the right-of-way entan-
clement.
"It is map" he said, "one that
Jack drew day before yesterday when
he was trying to make me understand
the situation up here. l wonder why
he kept it? Is there anything on the
other side?"
She turned the leaf, and they both
went speechless for the moment. The
reverse of the scrap of cross-ruled pa
per held very fair likeness of a face
which Virginia's mirror had oftenest
portrayed; a sketch setting forth in
few vigorous strokes of the pencil

II was the invitation she would have
angled for, but she was too wise to
assent too readily.
"Oh, no; | think we mustn't. I'm
afraid Mr.. Winton might not like it."
Not like it2 If you'll come he'll
never forgive himself for not being
here to Shoot up the camp for you in
person. He is away, you know; gone
to Carbonate for the day"
Ought we to so, Cousin Billy?" she
asked, shifting, not the decision, but
the responsibility for it, to broader
shoulders.
why not, if you care to?" said the
athlete, to whom right-of-way fights
were mere matters of business in no
wise conflicting with the social ameli-
orations.
Virginia hesitated. There was a
thing to be said to Mr.. Adams, and
that without delay; but how could she
say 1t with her cousin standing by to
make an impossible trio out of any
attempted duet confidential? A will

desertion to the enemy. She must not
forget to be loyal to her salt: and,
besides, Mr.. Somerville Darrahs right
eous indignation was not lightly to be
ignored.
But the upshot of the hesitant pause
was a decision to brave the conse-
quences-all of them; so she took
Calvert's arm for the slippery crossing
of the ice bridge
Once on his own domain, Adams did
the honors Of the camp as thorough
ly and conscientiously as if the hour
held no care heavier than the enter
tainment of Miss Virginia Carteret.
"Oh, how comfortable" she ex-
claimed, when he had shown her sill
the space-saving contrivances of the
field office. "And this is where you
and Mr.. Winton work?"
'lt is where we eat and Sleep" cor
rected Adams. "And speaking of eat
ing: it is hopelessly the wrong end of
the day-or it would be in Boston
but our Chinaman won't know the diff
ference. Let me have him make you a
dish of tea," and the order was given
before she could protest.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1906-11-15

And you can come up here and talk
to anybody you like-just as if it were
telephone?"
ITO anyone in the companys serv-
ice" amended Adams. ut is not a
commercial wire"
Then let us send a message to Mr..
Winton," she suggested, playing the
part of the capricious ingenue to the
very upcast of pair of mischievous
eyes. "Ill write it and you may sign
it,"
Adams stretched his complaisence
the necessary additional inch and
gave her pencil and a pad of blanks.
She wrote rapidly:
Miss Carteret has been here admiring
your drawings. She took one of them away
with her, and l couldn't stop her without
being rude. You shouldn't have done it
without asking her permission. She
says"
"Oh, dear! l am making it awfully
long. Does it cost so much word?"
No." said Adams, not without an
effort. He was beginning to be lis
tinctly disappointed in Miss Virginia,
and was wondering in the inner depths
Oh him what piece # girlish frivoAly
he was expected to sign and send to
his chief. Meanwhile she went on
writing:
81 am to tell you not to get into any
fresh trouble-not to let anyone else get
you into trouble; by which 1 infer she
means that some attempt will be made to
keep you from returning on the evening
train
There, can you send all that?" she
asked, sweetly, giving the pad to the
technologian.
Adams read the first part of the let
ter-length telegram with inward groan-
ings, but the generous purpose of it
struck him like whip blow when he
came to the th!nly yelled warning.
Also it shamed him for his unworthy
judgment of Virginia.
Il thank you very heartily, Miss
Carteret," he said, humbly. 1T shall
be sent word for word" Then, for the
Reverend Williams benefit: "Winton
deserves all sorts of a snubbing for
taking liberties with your portrait. I'll
see that he gets moro of it when he
comes back"

The Ideal Family Laxative,

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

While it is true that foreigners are

number of foreign countries have been

Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and

added: MIR. Winton will probably

And Adams could only say by JoveI"
again, and busy himself with pouring
the tea which All Foo had brought in.
In the nature of things the tea
drinking in the stuffy 'dinkey" draw
ing-room was not prolonged. Time
was flying. Virginia's errand of mercy
was not yet accomplished, and Aunt
Martha in her capacity of anxious
chaperon was not to be forgotten.
Also, Miss Carteret had a feeling that
under his well-bred exterior Mr.. Nor
ton p Adams was chafng like any
barbarian industry captain at this un-
warrantable intrusion and interrupt
| ton.
So presently they all forthfared into
the sun-bright, snow-blinding out-o:

her courage and took her dilemma by
the horns.

acquiescence. That is our telegraph

II don't know why should care to,
but l do" she replied, with charming
and childlike willfulness; so the three
of them trudged up the slippery path
to the operators den on the slope.
Not to evade his hospitable duty IN
any part, Adams explained the use and
need of a front" wire, and Miss Car
teret was properly interested.
"How convenient" she commented.

Too often this is never impaired or is
