BERNARD SHAW'S NECK.

Mr.. Bernard Shaw's lecture against
the ten commandments may be hum
orous performance. If it is it shows
Shaw as an inferior humOrist, for in
stead of suggesting the counter argu-
ments in such way as to expose their
own absurdity, he advances them with
grave face and leaves it to the i'm
agination of the reader whether he
means it or not. One of his PROPOSE
tions is that the commandment Thou
shalt not kill" is wrong, that we do
not kill enough. He advocates bring
ing of citizens before a court periodi-
cally and if they do not show cause
| why they should continue to exist then

But 'Chili" has also been identified as
a native South American word, chill"
meaning cold, which would make i
really the chilly country. AS to the
meaning of Andes" there is plenty Of

Shifting sand beneath the founda-

cause of the disaster. The building
was in course of construction and
nearly a hundred men were working
on the fourth floor when with a ter

the men were precipitated beneath
huge piles of concrete and timbers.
Within few moments a hundred peo-

BOILED POTATOES.

In Boiling Water.

why They should Always BE Cooked
In Boiling Water.
Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable
knife Just as thin as possible, for that
part of the tuber lying close to the skin
is richest in mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into pan Of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloration. Have
ready meanwhile kettle of boiling
water and when the peeling process is
complete take the potatoes from the
cold water and, covering them with
boiling sailed water, set them on the
range, covered, to boil. Twenty min
utes usually suffice, but to test them
use a skewer or fork, and when they
can be pierced easily remove at once
from the fire, pour off all the water
and set them on the back of the range,
uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that
process occasionally by slight shak-
ing of the kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always he cooked in boiling wa
ter try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups, in each of which
has been put a teaspOonful of ordinary
starch. Pour over one quarter of a
cupful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays in shape, compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissOlvrs
into a soft paste. The potato is largely
composed of starch, and from this
trial any one may draw his own con-
illusions. If you wish pulpy, watery
potato use cold water. but if a dry,
mealy, snowy ball that would delight
the heart of Epicurus himself always
use boiling water.

But Albert's troubles did not end

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-11-09

The general verdict was that it
served him right.
Albert Edwards was one of those
unpleasant people who delight TO ar
rive at a friends house when least
expected. They announce that they
have come to stay a week, and glory
in the inconvenience they create. Why
Mr. Edwards now refrains from such
amiable pursuits is about to be re-
lated.
On a fatal day a few years back
there came to him yearning to spend
few days with the Wellens, who had
house at Muswell Hill. He had not
corresponded with them for some time,
so they would be all the more pleased
to see him. He would add to their
joy by arriving Unexpectedly, and at
night.
A number of new houses had been
run up since his last visit, but he
easily found the house he sought. 1t
stood detached from its neighbors in
a large garden.
Albert opened the gate. The house
was in total darkness. He walked up
| the grass border of the drive so as
to deaden his football. He had meant
to alarm the inmates by violently
ringing the bell and shouting "Fire!"
When he got close up to the house,
/ however, he noticed that one of the
windows on the ground floor was open
slightly at the foot.
What carelessness!" expcaimed AL
bert. 1T would serve them right to
creep in and pretend to be a bur-
| glar."
Filled with those amiable intentions,
Albert scrambled into the room, and
shut the window with a terrific bang
Then he hurried across the room, up
setting a small table as he crept be-
mind a piano. The table fell with a
crash. Immediately after a scream
echoed through the house.
Hurried footsteps sounded on the
stairs. Albert peeped round the end
of the piano. In the dim light he saw
two men enter the room. They cross
ed to the window he had entered by,
threw it open, and passed out.
This is an extraordinary way Of
receiving visitors" thought Albert.
I'll wait little and see if they come

SYMPATHY IS WASTED.

With a treacnerous facility charac-
teristic of the star exponent of pirat-
ical politics, the Evening Bunc'
turned its coat yesterday and made
an attack upon Chairman o. T. Corn
well of the republican central COM
mittee, on whom it seeks to throw the
burden Of the defeat of Hawley and
Cadman, While apparently attacking
the chairman alone, the virose "Bunc"
is cunningly seeking an opening for
the coming fight of it's crowd against
Senator Ankeny-which fight will be
direct violation of the nypocritical
promises made in the last republican
convention and by means of which,
the "Bunc" effected the nomination OF
the boxer candidates.
The prompt betrayal and desertion
is deserving of censure, but it Is no
more than the Ankeny leaders could
expect. Twice the opportunity was
offered to down the gangsters for good
and all. Twice, at the last minute,
the Ankeny people, through the cow
ardice of some of their leaders ana
advisers, were forced to swallow the
"Bunc"-Kees dose and yield to the
threatening demand for gang recog-
milton.
That this assinine surrender resulted
in holder demands and increasing
power of treacherous attack could only
be expected. 1t is the plan of the
blackmailer everywhere to increase
his demands as his victim grows more
timid.
Those responsible for the resuscita-
ton of the gangsters have made their
beds. They must lie in them. The
Apache-like attack Of the "Bunc' will
create no sympathy for it's victims.
