BROTHERS.

Bishop Kemper, of Kansas, was
the victim of a hold-up one night
when he was the only passenger
The driver told the road agent
who had covered him with a six.
shooter, that his only passenger
was a Bishop.
"Well," said the robber, "wake
up the old man. 1 want to GO
through his pockets"
When the Bishop was aroused
from a sound slumber and reali-
zed the situation he gently rem
onstrated with the man behind
the gun. He said:
"Surely, you would not rob a
poor Aishop. 1 have no money
worth your while, add 1 am en-
gagged in the discharge of my sac
red duties"
"Dld you say you wer q Blsh-
OPP" asked the road agent.

"What church,"
"The Episcopal church."
"The hell you are! Why, that's
the church 1 belong to. Eriver,
you may pass on. Right Rev.

Don't Be Blase.

Don't try to be blase and in
different. The time will come all
too soon when enthusiasm will be
hard to summon.
If you are enjoying yourself
don't mind saying SO. Your
friends will like you all the more
for it.
Some girls seem to think an
Indifferent, casual manner rather
smart, but it's not-it's only rude.
When a person is trying to do
something nice for you, at least
have the courtesy to look as
though you were appreciating it.

USES OF RHUBARB.

.-tr
Our fsst "fruit" of the garden is
rhubarb The msjority of the
people do not appreciate it at its
full worth. Early in the season,
few stalks are used for pies and the
remainder allowed to go to waste,
when it might be a common article
of diet all the year round. For
the spring and summer season, it
oan be made into a variety of pies
and puddings, and for the winter
season. it may be preserved in the
form of jam. jelly, butter, and
canned. either alone. or in oombi-
nation with other fruits. One of
the objections given to the pIenti.
full use of rhubarb is the amount
of sugsr called for to make it sweet
enough; but it is worth the cost.
Rhubsrb Pie-Line a pie tin
with rich paste; mix half a oupful
of nioe white sugar and one heap
ing tablespoonful of honr together,
and spread over the bottom of the
crust; cut the tender stalks of
rhubarb into small pieces without
peeling, and fill into the crust over;
this sprinkle a oupful of white
sugar and put on the top cYnst.
Bake in slow oven, go the Juice
will not boil over. The Tbubarb
may be slightly stewed. sweetened,
the grated rind and juice of q lemon
added and the beaten yoIks of two
eggs stirred into it. baked in On
under crust and nice merinpue
epread over the top.
Rhubarb Podding-Butter we'll
thin slices of stale bread; put a
layer of fuely-cnt rhnbarb (not
cooked) in baking dish. sprinkle
lightly with sugar, cover with slices
of bread (crumbs may be used),
another layer of fruit, sugar and
bread. until the dish is full, with q
layer of breed crumbs on top.
Pour over this one cupfuI Of water.
cover with plate, and bake IN the
oven for half an hour. Serve hot
or GOLD, with sugar and cream, or
uioe sauce. While baking, it is
essential that the steam should not
escape. as this must cook the rhu-
barb.
Rhubarb should not be cooked
in Tin. as it is very acid. Agate
ware. porcelain. lined. or earthen-
ware should always be used.

Of Interest to Sick People.

We publish in this issue an ad-
vertisement for an Institution
which fills a long felt want in West
Virginia. The Kessler Hospital &
Sanitarium, of Huntington.
This Institution has been in
operation little over year. and
has had an unprecedented run of
patients during that time. DIR.
Kessler, the founder, is an old
Hospital man, and when he built
at Huntington he was building for
the future. but from the present
out look another addition will be
demanded within a year.
The ,mmodious structure located
two squares below the Court House
at Huntington is more easy to reach
than any other Sanitarium in this
country. There are accommodations
for $50 patients, full corps of
trained nurses, all forms of appaIa-
tus for giving electric and other
helpful treatments, and every CON
venience chat will tend to build up
the health of those who are sick or
diseased. In the operating depart
ment there has been remarkable
degree of success. The report for
last year shove that there were q
total of 40 operations, and out Of
all these surgical GASES there re-
suited only three deaths. We
oheerfnlIy recommend this institu-
ton to those who are eick OF sffiict-
ed.

We cannot all have talent, we
cannot all have great powers, we
cannot all do great work; but we
can all, by slow and patient en-
deavor, build up character, which
may do good work, even though
it may be small and humble. We
do not improve the character of
anybody else in any way SO well
as by improving our own charac-
ter, and that is the power of each
one of us; I'VE can begin at once
and we can always go on with
this work, wherever our lot is
cast.

Work.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.--If there is no
change in the programme laid out by
the state superintendent OF insurance.
Otto Kelsey. the canvass Of the vote
in the insurance elections Of the New
York and Mutual Life Insurance
Companies will begin today There is
much preliminary work to be done be-
fore the actual count begins. A staff
OF girls will first arrange the ballots
alphabetically according to states and
then the names Of the policyholders
will be compared with the names Of
the envelopes containing the ballots
and proxies. If these names agree the
ballots will be entered on the tally
sheets after they have been inspected
by the challengers on both sides.
1t Is said that this comparison will
be a slow process and none Of the
officers Of either company will make
a guess as to how long 1t will take
to finish the count.
