An ingenious Housewife.

A young wife who finds catering for two without a waste of provisions per picking makes a part of her own cook ing butter.
 A bottle of cream, unless 1t happens to be needed for a dessert, Is never used up, so she turns what Is left into bowl, day by day, until she accumu- lates enough to pay for churning. Then she beats 1t Into butter. drains of the buttermilk, salts It and works out the moisture. Leftover peas go into puree of pea soup the next day. Cold corn Is used up in fritters or succotash. Cold mashed potatoes reappear In potato cakes or potato pancakes, says the New York Evening Sun The ways of meat fragments are many, the housewife's repertoire of "cut- lets," souffles, croquettes, ragouts and the like being a long one, 'The ragout," she whispered in a friends ear, "is nothing but mothers stew, with less gravy, only, some way, not half so good"

world without mistakes and with out suffering would be a world without real men and women, without litera- ture, without music, without painting or sculpture, and without love, and even without history, for history Is a record of struggles toward better and higher things. Without obstacles to overcome and errors to correct men and women would lapse to a level with beasts in mentality. Intellectual and spiritual development would cease and souls not refined by the fire of ordeals would die of something akin to fatty degeneration. After all. it's a pretty fair sort of world as It stands. Much advice might have been offered at the worlds making if few experienced old ladies had been standing by, but the odds are that It would not have been 90 good a world as 1t iA

Early Loved Military Pomp.

Even as q child Emperor William loved military pomp. It delighted the little prince to have the sentinels pre- sent arms to him. Sometimes he would run out not fully dressed to receive these honora Great was his surprise one day when the sentinels took abso- lutely no notice of him. Burning with indignation, he rushed to his father and told him the terrible fact with the ut. most excitement. His father listened with sympathy, and then asked, In a tone clearly expressive of doubt:
 Your dress Is in perfect order, I hope, before you show yourself In pub. licY
 William answered, "No."
 No sentinel Is permitted to render the honors due to a prince who is not dressed entirely as prescribed" calmly said "Unser Fritz," his father.
 Prince William left the room, and since then no sentinel has ever seen him dressed otherwise than "entirely as prescribed

SMOOTH SWINDLFR
VISITS GREENWOOD.


/ S, 7. Allen, alias Stafford, alias Jones,
etcetera, came to Greenwood the first of
last week and proceeded to do business
on small scale with tho banks of tho
city.
| He opened an account with the First
National Bank, the Delta Bank and tho
Bank of Commerce -depositing $50 cash
with each.
The following day he make drafts on
certain banks at indianapolis for con-
siderable amounts and placed them with
the banks for collection assuring them
they would be paid promptly and ask
ing tho privilege Of overdrawing his ac-
count $4,000 until returns from the
drafts had been received.
The First National Bank and the Delta
Bank granted him the favor, but the
Bank Of Commerce refused his request.
The fellow left the city on the first
train for Grenada, but the banks had
made inquiries as to the drafts in time
to find that they were worthless two
of them being drawn on fictitious banks
and promptly had him arrested as he
alighted from the train al Grenada.
Allen. Stafford, Jones, or whoever he
is, was brought back to Greenwood and
tried before Judge D. p. Montgomery,
who fined him 10000 and three months
In jail In each Of the two cases of tho
banks against him.
Besides this the slick swindler paid
the banks In full the amounts over
drawn and all the expense OF telegraph
ing and bringing him back to Green-
wood.
When searched by Deputy Sheriff W.
g, Taylor before putting him in Jail, he
found that tho fellow wore cork leg,
concealed In which were two long thin
jagged-edged steel blades, which were
evidently intended to be used In escap-
ing from prison. In his valise were also
found lot Of small saws and chisels,
supposed to be burglar tools.
The authorities have received in-
structions to hold the prisoner that he
Is wanted in Indiana and Kentucky for
forgery.
The fellow was photographed and his
picture and one Of the drafts given by
him has been forwarded by the banks
here to Pinkerton's Detective Agency.
In the meantime, the man Of numerous
aliases has been sent to the county farm
to serve out his sentence.
