TOOK LONG TO CONVINCE.
Stubborn Youngster Finally Satisfied
Mother Was in Earnest.

Brooklyn mother has solved the
problem. of the incorrigible youngster,
says the New York Globe. She had
long found it impossible to take her
four-year-old girl with her into public
places without discomfort and embar-
rassment.
Being on an elevated train recently,
she threatened to take the child out
at the next station and spank her
soundly in the waiting room Defiance
compelled this course.
'Now, unless you behave, I'll whip
you again at the next station and at
every station until you do behave
was the mothers warning.
The youngster, incredulous, contin-
ued in wrongdoing, the result being a
spanking operation at each of dozen
| stations before the bridge was
reached. The child was convinced.
'I've had no trouble with her III
| public SINCE" said the mother. III

Josiah Main, a grandson of the first
settled minister of Rochester, n. H.,
whose bronze statue adorns the cen

local character, celebrated for his
wit and skill in argument, and as cum

the Drumtochty cynic.
On one occasion company had
gathered at the popular grocery,
among whom were Elder Runnals and
'Siah Main, and bet of two quarts of
rum was made as to who could pray
the best, the elder or Main.
All had taken several portions of
rum or else it is hardly likely that
the elder would have consented to join
in the sacrilegious test. The elder
prayed first and his petition was SO
long, loud and fervent that a consid-

that he easily won the bet. The elder

TWO OLD STYLE FAvoRlTEs.
Pumpkin Pie and Indian Pudding as
They Ought to Be.

Old Style Pumpkin Pie.-When the
lady did her own cooking or knew
how better than her help, they were
baked in the old style clay deep-in-
the-center plates, brown, with yellow
wiggles in them. The pumpkin was
cut in pieces, peeled and stewed soft
enough to be Scooped. Then mashed
and sweetened with sufficient dark
mOlasses into which ginger and Gin
namon, two parts of the first, one of
the latter to each pie, is mixed. To
this was added about one-third rich
cream to two-thirds drained pumpkin
First bake the pie crust lining, add
the pumpkin till level with the edge
and bake in a brisk oven Git was
brick them a rich brown, even darker
at the edge, with brown film above.
1t cuts cOherently, not like custard
nor cornstarch, but like a firm pump
kin pie.
Old Indian Pudding-Pour a pint
of scalding milk on a cup of coarse
yellow Indian meal, add two beaten
eggs, two-thirds cup of dark molasses
salt and cinnamon to taste, add one
pint of cold, rich milk, and bake two
hours, stirring several times to make
it whey. Make a sauce of one cup o
! powdered sugar and One-half cup o
Nutmeg wine or brandy. A woman

Worth Knowing About.

IF you need a first-class laxative
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth's
Pills. Each pill contains one grain
of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable vegetable prod
uctS, make it a blood purifier of ex-
cellent character. If you are troubled
with constipation, one pill at night
will afford great relief.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used They have been in use for over
a century, and are for sale every
where, either plain or sugar-coated.

SHELVES ARE IN FAVOR.
OS Equal Utility and Beauty in the
Living Rooms.

Shelves, as perhaps few of us real
ize, add much character to a room.
Like cushions and rugs and books,
they give that delicious air of COM
fort so often lacking in the stately yet
stiff drawing-rooms of some of our
modern homes.
Many people do not take to the idea
of shelves, associating the shelf with
the homely uses of the kitchen, the
pantry, and the cellar, whereas the
real fact is the utility of the shelf con-
stitutes much of it's beauty.
People have become educated to see
ing bookshelves in library or sitting
room in preference to bookcases, for
these always seem designed more as
showcases for books and their bind
ings than to hold books ready for in
innate use.
Fewer bookcases are sold nowadays
than formerly, for everybody seems TO
appreciate the charm of the low book
shelves built in around room for oc
cupying some special nook or corner
in a bay window or alcOve. On the
top of these shelves one can always
have plants, photographs, magazines
all the hundred and one little furnish
ings that add to the beauty of a room

It is customary to remark that mod

cause they are so simple. Nobody

scoundrelism even if it were pointed

was a charge of mere melodramatic
villainy forgetting that nearly all
villains really are melodramatic. Thus,
for instance, we say that some good
measures are frustrated Or some bad
officials kept in power by the press
and confusion of public business.

serted by George FL. Richmond, deal
er in old books and autographs, who
was the purchaser of the book at the
sale of the library of William H.

American legation at Madrid, Spain.
The book has been known to collectors
for many years.
Soon after purchasing the book Mr..
Richmond became suspicious of the
genuiness of the signatures and SUD-
mitted them to experts in handwriting,
including David n. Carvalho. Mr..
Carvalho states positively that the sig
natures are forgeries, statement with
which Mr.. Richmond agrees. While
the date following the alleged Milton
Signature is 1864, the experts state
that the ink in. which it is written IS
Of modern make. The fly leaf on
which the signatures are written has
been inserted in the book, it is said,
and the paper is of a much more
modern sort than that which composes
the rest of the book. Elizabeth Mil

The late Senator Plat of Connecticut
enjoyed funny stories and could tell a
good many himself. Notwithstanding
his long public life, he always remem-
bered a yarn that he carried from his
school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teachers
in making a record of the ages of her
pupils. as required by law, found that
one little girl, who came from a fami-
" not noted for being especially
bright, was unable to say when her
birthday came.
So in order to complete her records
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school, Asked If she could remember
just when her daughter was born, the
woman thought for some little time
and then, with a sort of puzzled look,
said:
"Well, the gal was born i'll later
time, that's sure, but can't member
whether they was a-plantin' on 'em or
a-diggin' on Boston Herald.
