Central America.

The story of Central America Is q
story of broken peace pacts and dis
solved unions. Beginning as one
kingdom under Spain. the five prov
inces became separated in their act
of independence, but Immediately
thereafter sought reunion and incor-
poration with Mexico. Separation
from Mexico and dissolution of the
union followed, and then wars,
truces, federations ana secessions
came in swift succession. Saliva

tectorate, Gautemala's pretentions to

together with innumerable other in

GOOD WAYS
TO COOK VENlSON.
Here hr, Rc,ipes For Preparing
Steaks, Outlets and Stews...Eyery
Part Edible.

This is the venison season, and as
the days are all too few in which we
can buy and eat the deer flesh with
out violating the game laws, It be-
hooves us now to partake of this meat
as freely and as frequently as oppor-
tunity offers. AS there is practically
no part of a deer that is not good to
eat, If properly cooked, the choice Of
the diner ranges from steak to outlet
and from roast to stew. For ven-
ison stew take three or four pounds
OF venison and cut it into pieces that
are not too small. Melt some butter
In a saucepan and fry the meat for a
few minutes, or until it has Drowned
Slightly on all sides; then put 1t into
the stewpot with a little more than
enough cold water to cover it. Add
eight or ten onions, halving or quar-
tering them If they are too large, and
season with both salt and celery salt.
Don't let the meat cook too quickly,
but when it is tender-it should take
a couple of hours-add half dozen
picked walnuts that have already
been mashed to pulp and about two
tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup.
Thicken with flour and serve.
In preparing venison steak for the
table have the meat cut thick-an
inch and half is not too thick, and
some like it thicker. Let it lie in a
cool place, but not actually on ice,
for twenty-four hours. When ready
to cook heat an iron skillet until 1t is
almost red hot, put the steak upon
1t, and after it has broiled for two
minutes on one side turn it and cook
1t on the other side. At the expiration
of the four minutes reduce the heat,
grease the skillet literally with but
ter, and let the steak cook slowly for
fifteen or twenty minutes, according
to its thickness. In serving use no
seasoning but ordinary pepper and
salt, unless little more butter should
be needed
Although venison outlets are also
good when cooked in this way, Wal
lace Irwin recommends another meth
cd of preparing them. He trims the
outlets, puts them in an earthen dish,
and covers them with specially pre-
pared marinade. After they have
been in this for twenty-four hours
they are wiped dry, larded and
broiled over brisk fire. To prepare
the marinade Mr.. Irwin takes four
tablespoonfuls of vinegar, same quan-
tity of grape juice, one small chopped
onion, two bayleaves, four cloves, a
blade of mace and two sprigs of pars-
ley to each pound of meat. This mix
ture is then put over the fire, and as
soon as it comes to the boiling point
is poured over the venison.-New
York Times.

Mare Saved Her Colt.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of animal sagacity that ever
came to light in this section is relat-
ed by Engineer James Parrott and
Conductor Frank King.
When the southbound passenger
train was near Hallsburg a mare sud
denly dashed up the track toward the
train, running swiftly. 1t looked as
If she would run right into the engine.
and the air brakes were quickly ap-
piled, slowing the train down to six
or seven miles an hour. Engineer
Parrott thought the mare was blind
ed by the headlight, but the train
was no sooner slowed down than the
mare turned about and went from the
train, keeping right down to the
tracks, and making it impossible to
run fast lest the animal be struck.
The mare went straight to bridge
over a creek, and when within a
short distance of the bridge of the
railway it was discovered that the
colt Of the mare had fallen with all
of its feet through the bridge, placing
1t where it would have been killed
had not the mare literally tagged the
train. The mare stopped and began
whinnying, and the train stopped also.
Engineer Parrott, the fireman, and
some of the passengers got off and,
relieving the colt, left the mare to
trot off with her young as proud as

WHAT WAS 1T

ing in my stomach that l actually
feared I had al dislike to write or

Dog Caught a Turtle.

Guests Of the Mill River hotel at
Ridgefield, Conn, yesterday were
treated to a novel sight when a dog,
after a battle of half an hour, dragged
a 33-pound swapping turtle from the
water,
Nero, who is owned by the propri-
etor of the hotel, is no lap dog. He
is a cross between a Newfoundland
and st. Bernard, and weighs 165
pounds. He was taking swim in
the water near the hotel, bringing in
sticks and bits of wood thrown by
one of the woman patrons, when the
turtle seized him by the tip of the
tail.
The dog turned and all the visitors
saw was a churning of the waters.
Then it was seen that while Nero
had a turtle, the turtle also had him.
Encouraged by the shouts from the
veranda the dog fought his way slow
ly to land.
He came in circles, his teeth fast
ened in one of the turtles flappers,
and the turtle with its jaws in a
death grip on the dogs tail.
1t was necessary to cut off the tur-
ties head to release the dog Aside
from the wound in his tail and
scratches made by the fms of the tur-
tie, Nero was unhurt, but very ex-
hausted dog-New York American.

Why His Dress seemed Odd.

One of the wittiest of English
peers, is Lord Longford, and he has
also earned the reputation Of being
one of the worst-dressed, in spite of
the fact that for twenty years he has
been In the Second Life Guards.
The story goes that a friend once
met him in Ireland garbed in pair
of combinations which were not on
speaking terms with his boots, and
chaffed him mercilessly about, the
"lucid interval" that occurred be-
tween them. But Tommy" as
Lord Longford is known to his inti-
-dates, in no wise disconnected,
blandly explained that it was really
a matter of high politics. "You see,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A contented workman earns his
wages.
Sanctification does not mean exclu-
siveness.
Any work is honest when honestly
performed.
A church letter is small recon-
mendation.
A yawn from the pew may mean
somnolency in the pulpit.
When it means sacrifice to give we
can set it down as charity.
The richest man is the one who is
satisfied with what he has.
Some men give; some men ampu-
tate themselves from their money.
A boys first ambition is to play
the snare drum in the village band.
Better to be riding a hobby than
to sit grumbling by the side of the
road.
Honesty is the best policy only
when it is not honesty for policy's
sake.
Men who never work are prone to
grow eloquent on the subject of "the
dignity of labor"
When mans children run to meet
him it is pretty good sign that he
is all right.
The average man is surprised that
the world does not stop whirling
when he gets into trouble.
A whole lot of men are in a hurry
to get nowhere to do something that
does not need to be done.
Automobile jokes are growing
scarce. The automobile has grown
altogether too serious for jokes.
After all it is enlightened selfish
ness to reach down and lift up. The
man lifted up can not drag you down.
The candidate who is so glad to
shake your hand before election is
very apt to shake you entirely after
election
When a man wants to turn a dis
honest trick he has no trouble in
finding an excuse that will satisfy his
conscience.
Next to the man with a grievance
the greatest bore is the man who will
not sympathize with you when you
tell yours.
The man who can see nothing but
fun in life never amounts to much !;
the man who can see no fun at all
in life never amounts to anything.
Some of these days we are going
to meet up with a defeated candidate
who is just as glad to see us as he
was before his defeat, and then we
will know who our preferred candi-
date FOR something better is.
Just as we begin to think that we
really know something really worth
while, then something happens to
show us that we really know SO little
of all there is to know that it ism t
worth while to feel puffed up on ac-
count of our knowledge.-Will M.
