Edifar Heruid. Il notice IN the
Herald of last week paragraph III
which my name was mentioned IN
big rabbit story, and while the story
was really in excess Of the facts, as
reported, yet / do not propose TO cur
tail it one particle, but intend to STICK
to nv original assertion. Am not
like the boy who saw 40 squirrels, who
when his father shamed him with the
unreasonable number compromised
by declaring that he would just be
blamed If he did not see a bush shake
We should all be more charitable
and the author of the paragraph
ought To remember that, "As bad a.
ne is the Devil can be falsely charged
and causelessly abused, accused when
men unwilling to be blamed alone
trv TO shift on him the sins which
really are their own" Give us fall
play, gentlemen, and let our motto be
"Jisticia PIT suat c0ciUm.'
We shall expect in this weeks ISSUE
TO have the next thing in order-a oil
fish story, and we say in advance ina
nothing will satisfy Us short OF on
that will 10y far exceed that litu'

Quick Cooking.

Editor Herald.-My landlady went
down town last Saturday evening to
make purchases for Sunday and re-
turning just 80 minutes before the
usual supper hour found TO her hor-
Tor that the cook hadn't even made a
fire in the stove Having nine board
ers, and all men in the business who
were dependent on meals at regular
hours, she addressed herself TO the
work Of preparing that meal and in 80
minutes by the clock II was on the ia
bic. The bill Of fare consisted Of ex-
cellent hash none Of your "boarding
house hash either, fried potatoes,
better than the Jefferson ever had,
quick mullins, OF course they were
quick, but they were also light and
brown aud hot sliced tomatoes, cold
tea, &C, &c. While / was enjoying
the supper took occasion to compli-
ment IL, aud then the little woman
gave me the history Of it, preparation.
And why all this lament about the
utter worthlessness Of household help
when one little woman can prepare
such a meal In 80 minutes?
Ninety minutes a day devoted to
cooking leaves a good margin for play
time. The wonder TO me is that the
factory girls and the store girls don't
greatly prefer household work, but
that they don't is a well recognized
truth.
AS was suggested in the Herald Of
last week girls should be taught to
cook and then when they get In the
trouble this little woman found her
self they will know just how TO work
out Of it, and come out Of it as "cheer-
full as a cricket B0ARDER.
Fortunate is the milkmaid who has
no kick coming.
Unless you strive for your rights you
are apt to get left.
This world remembers the man who
dies game-for day.
It's human nature to want to fly a
little higher than your neighbor.
Too many men attempt to make an
arc light show on kerosene income.
What different world this would
be II we all practiced what we preach!
Men who are bald always sneer at
the man who parts his hair IN the
middle.
Liquor would gag man if he was
taking it for his liver.
II takes a long time to get acquaint-
ed with all the reasons why you can't
be good.

she is in love when she only wants a
new ball gown.
