A Dinner Dilemma.

1t was an awkward dilemma IN
which a minister found himself a day
or so ago. He had accepted an invita-
ton to dine with a member of his
church. and rack his brain as he
might he could not fix the identity Of
the prospective hostess. At last, after
much mental exercise, he concluded
that the most likely person was Mrs.
A. and at the proper hour he touch.
ed the bell button at her door, was
admitted, and hung up his hat, not
daring to ask If that was the house to
which he had been invited. Dinner
was announced in due time and was
heartily enjoyed by the minister, who,
after a couple of hours spent in con.
versation, departed for his home,
chuckling over his success in so hap.
PLY solving the dinner problem. The
next afternoon the minister CHANGED
to meet Mrs. A and Mrs. B., an.
other of his Pensioners, while taking
stroll.
What happened to you last even.

dinner waiting for you an hour b.
yond the usual time, but you did not

Then and there the light broke in
upon the minister. He had been in.

Mrs. A. He made a complete COMES.

that hereafter he will make every din.

Refined Cruelty a. /, nox.

For genuine cruelty the average

proud father of a young hopeful the

on the victim, which was our net cat.
About three weeks ago we noticed
that pussy suddenly stepped eating

meats and dishes of milk were left
untouched.
For several days we explained It
by supposing that the cat was getting
more than the ordinary number of
miss and eating them to the exclusion
OF our offerings, but we soon noticed
that she was becoming thin and gaunt
and did not seem inclined to move
about and purr as she used to. One
day, after two weeks of this, I picked
up the now skeleton cat and began
to stroke it's neck.
What do you think I found? A
thick rubber band stretched tightly
around the throat, concealed by the
long fur. It just permitted the cat
% breathe, but she could not eat. l

In Emergency Linotype Operator
Hitches Il to His Machine.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn.-An event unique
in the history of newspaperdom &C.
CURED when the Leaf Chronicle was
issued by the use of a grindstone.
The electric wires furnishing power
for operating motor which was used
to run the linotype machines were cut
out on account Of the burning of a
building next door, and things looked
exceedingly blue for the issuance of
a paper unless hand composition was
resorted to. Then it was that Amer.
lean ingenuity came to the front.
The linotype operator observed q
big grindstone downstairs, and his
was the bright idea OF hitching It to
the linotype by belt.
The connection was quickly made,
and nothing more was needed but to
hitch Sufficient muscular energy to the
grindstone to keep the outfit moving.
Two laborers were secured and set
to this task, and the thing was done.
The queer-looking device went to
work with utmost facility.
Its appetite for copy was something
phenomenal, and the newswriters aver
that never before were they kept in
such rush to supply material.

Variation from Usual Form in Which
They Are Served.

Bermuda onions and the silver.
skins grown in this country, which
are nearly as good, are delicious
when pierced with fork. Drain and
place in q shallow buttered baking
pan; pour over enough milk to cover
(about one cup), into which has been
stirred tablespoon Of tapioca; add
a half teaspoon Of butter, a teaspoon
OF salt and dash Of pepper. Place
In the oven and bake until a light
brown on top. about 20 minutes.
Serve in the same dish. This is a
change from the ordinary creamed
onions: the tapioca IL a delightful ad.

The ordinary method for baking BY
putting in a pie tin with an inch Of
water and letting cook in a slow oven
brings toothsome results. stewed
onions when parboiled are relieved of
the odor and aftermath Of taste that

and yolks Of eggs separately (the
whites to q stir froth. the yolks to q
cream), then add yolks to the creamed
butter and sugar; afterward add the
milk, then the lavoring, next the
whites Of the eggs and lastly the flour
by degrees.
II fruit 10 added, dredge flour over

before the flour.
Where the recipe calls for baking

Value Of Old Gloves.

The house worker should never

~ her old white gloves. They are
most useful in protecting the hands
while busting. sweeping or wiping
dishes. AS women often complain
that they feel clumsy in doing their
work with gloves on, by simply cut
ting away the finger tips this sensa.
ton is overcome. A very good pair Of
gloves which laces up the palm of the
hands and is bought several sizes
