An Inherited Tendency,

A Cleveland society woman gave a party to nine friends of her young son, aged six. To add to the pleasure of the occasion she had the ices frozen in the form of hen and ten chickens. Each child was allowed to select his chicken as 1t was served. Finally she came to the son of prominent poli- tician.
 (Which chicky will you have, Der tie?" she asked.
 ''If you please, Mrs. H., think I'll take the mamma hen,' was the polite reply.-Lippincott'

The ladies began to chat pleasantly while they sized up our furniture out of the corners of their eyes, and the men glanced carelessly around to see if had a box of cigars which would require their attention after dinner. Pretty soon dinner was announced, and they all jumped to their feet as though they had stepped on third rail-
 I believe in being thrifty, but the way some of those people saved up their hunger for dinner was too pe- nurious for mine.
 I took Mrs. Hodge in and she took in my wife's dress to see if it was made over from last years.
 Young Communipaw tried hard not to reach the table first, but a plate of dill pickles caught his eye and he won from old man Hodge by an arm.
 The first round was oyster cocktails and everybody drew cards.
 This was Ollie's maiden attempt at making oyster cocktails, and she had original ideas about them, which con- sisted of salad oil instead of tomato catsup.
 The salad oil come from Italy, so the oysters were extremely foreign in taste.
 After eating his cocktail Riley Hatch began to turn pale, and politely inquired if we raised our own oy. sters.
 But just then little Cutey Coyne up. set glass of water and changed the subject and the complexion of the tablecloth.
 The next round was mock-turtle soup, and it made deep impression, especially on Charley Swayne, be- share in his lap when he least ex pected it.
 Charlie was very nice about it, how. ever.
 He only swore twice, then he re. membered once a gentleman always a gentleman, and he did not strike the girl.
 After awhile we all convinced Char lie that the laugh was on the soup and not on him, and when the fish came on he forgot his troubles by get ting bone in his throat.
 When Charlie began to talk like a trout, old man Hodge grabbed the bread knife and begged to be allowed to carve his initials on somebody's wishbone.
 But Joe Coyne finally pacified hin by a second helping of Bermuda onions.
 I opened a third bottle of Pommery just to show I wasn't stingy.
 Then came the Thanksgiving tur key, and this is where that cook O. ours won the blue ribbon.
 My wife had told her to stuff i with chestnuts, but Ollie thought chest nuts too much of an old joke, so sht stuffed it with peanut brittle.
 Ollie had noticed some other thing: about the kitchen which looked lone some, so she decided to put them il the turkey, too.

ed in to fool the beef trust and put all the butchers out of business.
 But let's go back to that Thanksgiv- ing dinner.
 My wife invited Mir and Mrs. Will Ham T. Hodge, Joe Coyne and his wife and their daughter, Cuticura; MT. and Mrs Frank Doane and their son, Communipaw; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Golden and their niece Casano- va, and MT. and Mrs Riley Hatch.
 Charlie Swayne was referee.
 My wife was so worried about the cook that before dinner tir1e arrived she had an attack of neI 7ous post ponement.
 As matter of fact. we were both in fear and trembling shat Ollie would send a tomato salad from the kitchen and before Il reached the table it would become a chop suey.
 Anyway, the guests arrived prompt ly and could see from their faces that they would fight the dinner to a finish.

Puzzled.

The bard from the city had sold suf- flcient verses to spend week in rural boarding house. Waving off the swarms of June bugs and mosquitoes, the bard sat penning his lines by the yellow light of kerosene lamp.

 The horny-handed farmer, who sat greasing his boots, looked up in sur prise.

Lonoer on Throne Than Father.

King Frederick. of Denmark, pre- sents the curious spectacle of father who has become king at later date than his own son.

T have been king longer than you haye." Haakon was elected king of Norway by the storthing on Nov.

"Riley Hatch Wanted to Tell the Story
 of His Life." found a horseshoe which Ollie had put in for luck.
 It made my wife extremely nervous to see the can opener, pair of scis- sors and nine clothes pins come out of that turkey, but Jack Golden said that their last cook tried to stuff their turkey with the garden hose, so my wife felt better.
 The next round was some salad which Ollie had dressed in the kitch- en, but the dress was such bad fit that nobody could look at it without blushing. Then we had some homemade ice cream for dessert.
 The ice was very good, but Ollie forgot to add the cream, so it tasted rather insipid.
 Every time there was Hull in the conversation Charlie Swayne kept yelling for a Bronx cocktail, and the only thing that kept him from get ting it was the fact that Riley Hatch wanted to tell the story of his life
 Anyway, the dinner came to fin- ish without anybody fainting, and the guests went home a little hungry but imprisoned.
 The next morning my wife spoke bitterly to Ollie, and she left us, fol- lowed by the Thanksgiving prayers of all those present.
 The only thing about the house that loved Ollie was pair of earrings be- longing to my wife, and they went with her.

Beyond Expression.

G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala, writes: For nearly seven years I was afflicted with a form of skin dis ease which caused an almost unbear- able itching. I could neither work, rest or sleep in peace. Nothing gave me permanent relief until I tried Hunts Cure. One application re- lieved me; one box cured me, and though year has passed, I have stayed cured. I am grateful beyond expression.''

 The name of this new COOK was Ollie.
 When Ollie came to the house to get a job, my wife asked her for her recommendations
 Ollie said that her face was her only recommendation; but that she was out late the night before and broke her recommendation just above the chin.
 Anyway, my wife engaged her, be- cause what good is healthy appe- tite when the kitchen is empty?
 Ollie said that she was first-class cook, but when we dared her to prove it she forgot my wife was lady and threw the coal scuttle at her.
 A day or two after Ollie arrived determined to find out what merit there was in vegetarian diet.
 "All right" said to the cook, after the last plate of hash with all it's fond memories had disappeared, "this house is going on a diet for few days, and henceforth we are all vegetarians, in- cluding the dog. Please govern your self accordingly"
 Ollie smiled and whispered that vegetarianisms was where she lived
 Ollie said she could cook vegetables so artistically that the palate would believe them to be filet Mignon, with Pommery sauce, and then she start

When my wife made the sugges- ton that we should give Thanksgiv- ing dinner to our friends in the neigh horhood it almost put me to the ropes.
 You know I'm not much on the so- cial gag, and to have to sit up and make good-natured faces at lot of strangers gives me intermittent pains in the neck.
 Why should we give them din ner?" l asked my wife. Aren't most of them getting good wages, and why should we kill the fatted calf for a lot of homemade prodigals?"
 "John, don't be so selfsh!" was my wifes get-back. There's long win ter ahead of us, and when we give our dinner to seven people that means seven people to give us seven dinners.

TELEPHONE AND ROAD
Scarcity Of Men Hindrance to
Work in the District

Leroy Crossman, who returned Tues
day from Thunder Mountain district
and Ramey Ridge country, reports the
Pittsburg and Washington capitalists
who recently bought the Pueblo and the
Apex properties, are employing all the
men they can get in erecting their two
5-stamp mills When Mr.. Crossman
left the building for the mill on the
Apex was completed, the machinery
was on the ground, and its installation
under supervision of Mr.. Clemens of
Boise had been begun
Excavation for the stamp mill and
the saw mill on the Pueblo property
was well under way, but on account of
scarcity of men nearly all the force was
employed on the Apex mill.
Both the mills, states Mr.. Crossman,
are merely for prospecting purposes.
There is little development work done
on either of the properties, but the
surface groupings are rich in gold and
indications point to strong leads. l. H.
Friar is manager and superintendent at
both properties, which the company has
leased from Robert McGregor.
Road Repair and Telephone,
Mr.. Crossman states the county roac
from Warren to the Pueblo mine was ir
such poor condition that the mining
company was compelled to put men to
work and repair it before the machinery
for the mill could be delivered at the
mine. Work on the private telephone
line that was to connect Ramey Ridge
and Boise was suspended some time ago
on account of the company's inability
to secure men.
Just before Mr.. Crossman left twelve
loads of supplies and provisions for the
winter arrived at the camp.
