A Youngsters 0utspokenness That
Taught Grandpa . Lesson.

There is q very well-knOwn man In
Brooklyn who is particularly proud
of his grandson. a bright boy Of four
years and few months. But, like
all fond grandpas. he believed teas
ing amusing to the child as we'll as
to himself-and he recently received
the shock he deserved. The little lad
was playing industriously with . doll
when the proud grandpa said:
MY! playing with doll-why your
name must be Susie-not Ralph"
No word from the boy. who kept
right on playing with the doll.
Susie" said the grandpa, just rush.
ing to his fate. do YOU like dOlls?"
The boy moved perceptibly. but
chung to the doll.
Dear little Susie-you used to be
a boy"
The boy lifted his head indignant.
ly and with deep pathos, said: Grand
pa. I hate to tell you SO, but you're a
d fool"
Great was the CONSERVATION of the
grandfather and amazement of the
mother. who tragically ordered the boy
to his. room, while she called atten-
ton to the tears that rolled down her
cheeks At such a fearful offense. FL
nally she told the little fellow that he
might be forgiven II he begged his
grandpa's pardon. But the boy be-
lieved his grandpa the offender and
said 90. His mother sternly read him
a lesson against profanity, and espe-
cially about disrespect to grandpar-
ents. The little fellow was touched.
and going over to his grandpa said.
compromisingly:
Il am sorry l called you -
fool-but II l cannot call you . fool
can l call you q lemon?" -..
Hereafter grandpa will call Ralph
by his right name.-Brooklyn Eagle.

NORMAL THEORY is DIsPRovED.

Philosophers seldom tire Of booming

But this is absurd. We cannot en-

A Book of sweethearts.

Among the many creditable gift
books found on the counters at the
book stores for the gladstone holiday
season, none excel "A Book of Sweet
hearts" published by the Bobbs-Mer-
rill company, Indianapolis, Ind. There
are twenty-eight illustrations in full
color by Will Jenkins, the plates be-
ing almost foot square. as a conse-
ouence of which the full beauty of
the original paintings is given again
with striking effect. The book is made
up altogether of the heads of beauti-
full girls, depicting every style of
beauty. It is a publication which can
not help but prove popular. The text
consists of toasts to beauty, fresh or
famous, wise or witty, sage OF sassy,
as the case may be, and is almost
equally enjoyable as the feast of
beauty contained in the reproductions
of the photographs of the beautiful
girls.

CHRISTMAS CHEER
rs Ever Il Calls on the Housewife for Sweets. Pies
and All the Rest OF the Good Things
of the Holidays.
OF the Holidays

A HRISTMAS without candy
M[N. would not seem like Christ
My.T.W mas at all, especially in
NS homes where there are
W$lM children; SO it is at this
season of the year that the
housewife who has little ones who
must be supplied with sweets begins
to make her plans for wholesale candy
making, for cheap as candies are to-
day, and easily as they may be OBJ
tanned. there are still many women
who prefer to supply their households
with homemade dainties instead Of
buying them at the store, even though
the latter may be quite as pure and
wholesome.
OF course, in candy-making, as in
everything else, each year brings
forth new formulas; the old candies,
once considered so delectable, get out
of fashion, and new sweets come to
take their place. Thus, for example,
though taffy, fudge, caramels, choco-
late creams, etc, are still as palatable
as ever, the mother who would be up
to-date in her production of Christmas
candies must prepare some of the
newer delicacies.
In place of the time-honored fudge,
she may make the new divinity

A Restrained Grief.

Back in the ridges of Tennessee two
mountaineers got into an argument.
Words led to blows, and In the fight
that followed one Of the men was
killed. A neighbor rode on ahead to
the dead mans cabin to prepare his
wife. He found her seated at table
eating apple dumplings. He broke the
sad news to her as gently as he could.
She listened quietly, with dumping
poised in the air half way to her
mouth. When the neighbor paused she
stuffed the dumping into her mouth
and said: You Jest wait It'll finish
this hyer dumplin' an then you-all Il

newest of store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
such high favor. To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter and,
after sailing it slightly, shape it into
the forms desired. Some of these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain;
others may be covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity of the amateur candymaker
may suggest. In any form, however,
they are quite as delicious as the can
dies that are sold in stores.
A fruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal to the housewife at
Christmas time is made by chopping
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls of
| dates, half cupful of figs, and half
cupful of Maraschino cherries that
have been drained free from liquor.
When chopped, and they should not
be chopped too fine, mold into the
shapes desired, and dip each piece into
syrup made by boiling half a pound
of sugar with half pint of water until
it will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple, and dates, figs or
any kind of nuts may he coated in the
same manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty, an ex
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with cupful and a half
of sweet milk and half tablespoon.
full of butter for about ten minutes. At
the expiration of this time beat with
spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick. 1t may then be
Il spread in buttered tins to cool, or. for
the sake of variety, the candy may be
divided into three equal portions, one
part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
J candied cherries.
Sailed nuts are now so great a
favcrite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them
AS ordinarily prepared, however, the
sailing of nuts is quite serious task
but If the cook desires to save time in
cooking them she may attain the same
result more easily by dropping then
into kettle of deep fat-lard by
I. preference-and letting them remain
from 10 to Is minutes. When done
, they must be drained thoroughly be
fore being sailed to taste, and they
will be found to be just as palatabl'
as the nuts that have been prepared
by the far more laborious process.
