terest of the public ut heart. and who
tries to attend to the duties of his
office as faithfully and conscientiously
as he would to his own affairs. AS
an illustration of what can be done
by faithful attention to the public's
interests the following few figures
from the last annual report speak
volumes: They show that during the
five years previous to Mr.. Merrll's
administration. the office of register
of deeds showed IL deficit of $13. 131.54.
During the first five years of Mr.. Mer-
rill's administration, the office shows
IL profit of $1S.731.12; or net gain
to the county of $26,SI2.73.
Figures may be mighty cry reading
but certainly these figures are elo-
uuent, and speak more strongly than
columns of eulogy could. of the ability
and faithfulness with which Mr.. Mer>
rill has attended to the duties of his
position Ele has never delegated the
important ""fh ol ''ie oii'ee w 'o'''e
subordinate. as is too often the case
with public officials. but has given his
personal attention tn tn" office, and
has looked upon it as public trust,
which i. was his duty to fulfill to the
best OF his ability. With a record like
this can any one doubt MIR. Merrill's
ability to make a most satisfactory
county treasurer?

mention, prepared for the occasion by
the good ladies of the, parish. Twenty
five young men were initiated and Off

it is believed, will be doubled in a
short time.

SIDEWALK TELLS A FIs.
Jim Crosby Suffers Injustice Because
of Newfangled Invention.

1T all resulted from Jim Crosby's
wife's curiosity to know how Jim
passed his time while she was visit
ing her mother in the next town.
Jim's wife had a brother who ran a
novelty factory in the city, and she
induced him to make a musical side
walk, about Is feet long, leading from
the street to the front door. 1t was
so fixed that when you stepped on a
plank a clear belI-like note was
struck. If you walked fast it played
a quickstep. If slow and loafing like
it was a dirge. If you sidestepped it
was q discord. And when you opened
and closed the door it registered just
the hour you arrived home. She
wound it up. good for eight days, and
went away c%ontentedly.
Il shall remain at home every
night, DEAR" says jim. as they said
farewell.
You'd better" says she.
And the peculiar part of it was
Jim did stay at home, He had a re-
pentant spell and We couldn't get him
to bulge from the house for the whole
week. But we didn't know anything
about the musical sidewalk ard little
rocked that it was piling up evidence
against jim. You see, we got to run
ming up to Jim's door at odd hours
and dancing a teasing morris on the
walk, Just to coax him out. We heard
lively music when we did it, and sup
posed Jim was playing some instru-
ment inside to accompany us. And
he thought we were serenading him.
Then he'd often come to the window
and grin a denial to our prolonged in
vitation and at last we'd go away.
Wen, when his wife got back she
| produced the dial and records and his
eyes bulged when she told him what
had been keeping tabs on his exits
and entrances.
I'm mighty glad I was good he
sighed with relief.
Then she opened the mechanism
and gave a scream. For ali our carry
ings-on were faithfully recorded. The
first record showed he had spent the
night dancing on the walk to the
tune Of Don't Treat My Baby So
From the second record she deduced
he was %repentant and sentimental. as
it showed a staggering effort, accom-
panied by She Is Sleeping in the
Valley by Request. And so on for
the entire week. OF course. we all
tried to make her believe the truth.
but when she leaves home now she
takes him with her, and the sidewalk.
is relegated to playing only one tune.

rrx Some Frozen Coffee.

Frozen coffee makes a desirable
change when fruit creams and water
ices are no longer a novelty. Grind
very fine a quarter pound of freshly
roasted coffee; put it in a %cheesecloth
bag, and then in a porcelain farina
boiler; pour on it a quart of boiling
water taken at it's first boil. The
water should be freshly drawn. Cover

for five minutes.
Remove the bag of coffee and add
half a pound of graduated sugar.
Dissolve this by stirring and strain
through a fine cloth. When cold add

into the freezer and freeze, turning
slowly until the whole mass is frozen

A Good Housekeeper Knows Something
If Several Kinds Of Effort.

Housekeeping implies the knowl-
edge Of several kinds of effort. A good
b-ousekeeper must have personal ac-
quaiatance with marketing, catering,
cooking, laundry work. scrubbing,
securing. bedmaking, managing. serv'
ing and home making. She need not
do everything herself but this being
her time-honored vocation, she must
at least have a sufficient preparation
for 1t to enable her to set others at
work as well as to work herself, says
the Woman's Home Companion. Con
sidering that a multitude of American
women not only keep house welll, but
nurse their families in illness. assist
their children in homework, supervise
the piano practice of their daughters,
take an interest in the athletic sports
of their Gons and economic in order
that their husbands may enlarge their
business or buy more acres, we cans
not look upon housekeeping as an easy
trade.
On the day Of the San Francisco
earthquake a lady was awakened in
the early morning by the rocking to
md fro Of her home, the falling OF
ictures and the crash of breaking
lass. 1t was not until the later after,
noon that she decided with her hus
band that they must fly for their lives
and leave the dear home behind them.

interval, as she later wrote to hel

her composure. Il cooked a good

knowing when we would next get g

done as usual" Here was the poise
of a perfect -housekeeper whose head
did not fail her, although there wa:
no little heartache in the fight from
home, a fight from a whirlwind of de
vouring flame.

The Family Pow.


Some Of the most vivid Of the emo.
lions which thronged upon tho SUM
mer pilgrim to the old home were
those which awaited him in the fam.
lily pew Of the old meeting house, AS
be took his seat there, and heard the
familiar note OF the organ and the
clear. thin voices of the choir, tho
years melted away, the faces changed,
the new carpet faded into the well-re-
membered colors of so years ago
and he was in truth a child again. His
thought went back to the time when
he was allowed to sit on the footstool
as a concession to his short, restless
legs. He tasted again the luscious
raisin which found it's way from
grandmother's pocket to his mouth,
and shifted the pungent southernwood
of the Sunday nosegay in a neighbours
silk-mitted hand. 1t was in that pew
that he first realized to the fun the
dignity Of trousers. It was there that
he vas proudly conscious of the APP
proving glances of his friends on his
first college vacation. He recalled in
a flash the %intolerable length of the
sermon on that Thanksgiving day!
The pew has sad memories as well as
sweet ones. Most poignant of them is
that of his mothers funeral and the
awful Sunday after it, when no one
could bear TO take her empty place
and the emptiness of it seemed unen-
durable. Close upon that IT, FOL
lowed the Sunday when he made sol
emn profession there of the faith she
had loved so well. Then come the days
of the great war, when the meeting.
house blazed with flags and thrilled
with the music of bugle and drum
The blessing of the volunteers, the
prayers for their safety, and the sad
sad series of soldiers funerals-all
these came up to the mans memory
ri the old pew. Suddenly out of this
dreamland he is called by the stir OF
the congregation-and is conscious
that he has missed the good pastors
sermon. But perhaps, says the Youths
Companion, God Himself has preached
to him out of life's grim struggle-in
the vision of some of his own deep ex.
%peTiences and the discovery that they
are still potent to arouse the will and
confirm the faith with their rich and
tender memories.
