Only an Appetizer.

Many years ago dried solan-geese, from the Orkneys, used to be imported into Scotland. says the author of My Strange Pets," and served there as an appetizer, mOrsel being eaten at the beginning of meal.
 A worthy farmer gave a dinner to some of his neighbors, and in the course of it asked one if he would have ''an- other portion" of the roast.
 "I think I will," replied the other. "I ate bit O solan-goose afOre l left hame, and it has made me very hun gry."
 "I dinna believe in the solan-geese," broke in another guest. q ct a whole one afore cam ava, and I dinna feel a bit the hungrier for it."

GAVE HIM sUcARED BATH.
Sister Gets Square with Brother
 Prone to Practical Jokes.

Sister Gets Square with Brother
 Prone to Practical Jokes.
 It was certainly sweet" revenge that the sister of well-known Fourth ave- nue insurance man inflicted upon him last week. Nothing less than sugar. coated bath, which wasn't at all rel ished by the recipient.
 The young man resides in Knoxville, and he is something of practical joker himself. Not long ago he told his sis ter to call up two -three-four on the telephone, and the young woman was badly nipped by the catch phrase. She was eager for revenge and bided her time for favorable opportunity.
 The insurance man always leaves his office at certain hour in the after noon and usually reaches home with only about half an hour to bathe and get dressed for dinner. When he reaches the house, in order to save time, he starts the water running in the bath tub, and then. while it is filling up, he hurries to his room, dons a bath robe, and returns to find everything ready for the splash. His sister knows his habits well and she banked on catching him unawares. Two college chums were vis- iting her. and from them came the sug- gcston which resulted in complete and satisfactory retaliation.
 On a certain evening when the young man reached home he turned on the warm water in the tub and went to his room to get ready. During his absence the girls sneaked quietly into the bath room and dumped about ten pounds of pulveriZed sugar into the warm water. It dissolved quickly, and when, few minutes later, the young fellow hurried in, there was nothing noticeably wrong. It took him only second to divest him. self of the robe and he plunged into the water. He got few drops in his mouth and it tasted sweet; it also felt q trife sticky. He was puzzled, and, stepping out of the tub, drew tumblerful from the faucet There was nothing wrong with that. Then he swished his arms around a couple of times through the water in the tub. There was something peculiar about the feel of it. Then in the warm atmos- phere of the room the stuff began to dry on his body. When he moved his arms it felt as though some sort ot enamel were cracking. He looked into glass. His hair, eyebrows and lashes were coated with snowy substance.
 Thoroughly amazed, he let the water run from the tub, but he couldn't deter mine the cause of the trouble. Three separate and distinct times he had to lave himself with clean water before he got the sticky, clinging stuff removed, aud even then he did not feel entirely free from the uncomfortable sensation of being covered with some invisible enamel. When he finally presented him. self at the dinner table, three-quarters of an hour late, he was given the merry Ina Ina by his sister and her visitors. And the young fellow has taken pledge not to attempt to play any more prac- tical jokes on his sister for q whole month Gazette-Times.

words in a column. Suppose you sit
down and write one thousand words

about eight thousand words. Try it
and see if it is right easy. Keep that
gait up for a month. Then chase a
local item all over town and after you
have secured the facts all right con-
dense them in a few lines-an hours
work that can be read in few Sec
onds. Do this for a dozen Items that
seem insignificant after they are print
ed, but which you know are printed,
but which you know are important,

to shall constitute the payment, the
law will adjudge to be payment. 1t
Is competent for parties to design
and by their contracts show and in
what payment may be made. It Il
