Little Tom was two years old
and talking before his proud par

Though limited. his vocabulary
included one or two choice words
picked up from his father. Of
course, he looked like a perfect
little cherub on the eventful day.
with his wide blue eyes and shin

up in great shape for the cere-
mony. AT the most impressive
point Tom turned to his father
and exclaimed in aggravated

letters patent on what he terms
The Muley Wagon Gear. The de-
vice consists OF simplification of
the old style circle doing away
with all that part of the old gear
that lies back OF the front axle. A
very simple contrivance secures
the flexibility OF the front part OF
the wagon without half the gear

claimed by the inventor is that the

Here is to II year old girls,
may they always be with us,
bringing back the memories of

more rapidly through our veins

warming our cold hearts with the

SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.

A Colorado Springs jury has

And here we have another
proof of the absolute reliability of
a jury. "Prima facie" proof. in

,ion be prima facie proof of not
only insanity but total imbecility
if an old man did not love all the
seventeen year old girls he met
We are getting almost old enough
ourseli to feel that way. After
life's.sun has reached its zenith
and the gradual fall behind west
ern hills begins. there is a clari
fed atmosphere surrounding the
old man
The days when passion drove
him with whip of blazing strands

ication OF a pretty face has passed
away and he views with the eye
OF a connoisseur the budding
young woman. In her splendid
youth he sees the reflection of
another girl whose maiden charms
long years ago caused him sleep
less nights and days of anxiety.
which were later crowned with
her promise to walk hand IN hand
with him down life's rough and
,horny pathway.
Yes. the old man watches with
tender affection the development
OF many beautiful and attractive
girls. He sympa,hizes with their
griefs. he revels in their joys. he
admircs their successes. he ex-
ouses their taults-too much
sometimcs-but even in this he is
not TO blame. for the faithful tab
lets of memory refresh his mind
as to the past. and point with ac-
ousing finger at times when sweet
charity has not Influenced his de-

that age where with innocence

woman CLEANS like masterpiece
OF painting through half con-

In the bcau,cous picture the
old man sees the blending of
childhood's innocence of evil. the
happiness of buoyant youth and
the promise of grand mother and
wifehood. And in each estate his
sympathy is with her, his admi

Lima Bean PURGE.

Let a cup and a half of dried Lima
beans stand over night covered with
cold water. In the morning drain,
rinse and set to cook in boiling water.
Let cook until tender, supplying wa
ter (boiling) as needed, and adding
a teaspoonful of salt during the last
of the cooking. The beans will re-
quire about three hours cooking at a
gentle simmer. When the water has
evaporated and the beans are tender,
with a pestle press them through the
PURGE sieve. Add nearly o%ne-fourth
a cup of butter, a little hot cream,
and salt as needed. A teaspoonful
of onion juice, a tablespoonful of fine
chopped parsley, and paprika may be
added at discretion. The flavor OF
onion is always good with beans. Beat
the mixture until light, when it is
ready to use. Serve very hot.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-05-17

Add to the water in which the chick
en- or fowl is to be boiled a small
onion, three whole cloves, a table
spoonful of salt, and a little celery or
parsley. When the meat Is tender re-
move all the flesh from the bones Of
the bird and chop it very fine. For
two and one-half cups of this chopped
meat which has been very carefully
freed from bones and skin and sea-
soned to taste with paprika and salt,
allow one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls
of graduated gelatin. Soak the gela-
tin in cold water, and then dissolve it
in a cup of the hot chicken stock. Add
the gelatin to the prepared meat, and
turn into molds. If one has not the
proper molds for this, a baking pow.
der tin may be used and the meat cut
in slices when removed, or the mix
ture may be nodded in small cups.
The meat should be packed very solid
ly in the mold, which has been dipped
in cold water, and stand for several
hours in the ice chest before serving.
Arrange on lettuce leaves and serve
with a good mayonnaise dressing.
