Among the Lions.


M1nneapolis-A pretty wedding took
place In the lions den on the Red
Cross carnival grounds in Minneapo-
lis, when Rev. G. l.. Morrill, spoke the
words that united William J. Geer and
Miss Ruth Julia Berglund.
The bride was attired in a becom-
Ing going away gown and carried
smelling salts. The groom wore con-
ventional, black and carried a re.
volver.
The couple stood under canopy of
harpoons. Seven husky carnival en-
ployes acted as ushers.
Guests from out of town included
several well-developed specimens from
the jungles Of Africa. They were in
clined to be bit hilarious, but when
Rev. Morrill, entered they sank into
the back rows and the ceremony pro.
ceeded uninterrupted.
The bride and groom, escorted by
the Daughters of Veterans and with a
band playing wedding march, pro.
ceeded from the hospital tent to the
animal show. The lions were tirned
into the performing arena, after which
the bridal party entered.

A Day to Remember.

A northern gentleman visiting in a
southern village, attended church at a
negro meeting house. When 1t came
time for the collection to be taken, two
deecons seated themselves beside table
before the pulpit, with the plate between
them.
One by one the congregation rose, and
stepping forward, deposited cent or a
nickel upon the plate before the eyes of
the watchful deacons. When all the
members had gone forward the northern
man took half-dollar from his pocket,
and leaning forward and touching a
negro on the shoulder, handed it to him
and motioned toward the pulpit.
The colored brother rose with alacrity,
but with eyes big with establishment,
and holding the coin between the tips Of
his fingers and extending it high in the
air where all might see it, he marched
slowly and ostentatiously forward.
He was about to deposit it on the
plate when one of the descons motioned
and whispered to him. The effect was
instantaneous. The coin-bearer lowered
the coin out of the public gaze, and
stepped back to the donor.
"Please, sah," he said In q low voice,
"does you want some change back-and
how much?"
The visitor shook his head. Again up
went the coin, borne by smiling negro,
and with a clangor and an audible buzz
of approval from the spectators, it fell
into the plate.
Watched by the deacons, the preacher
counted the funds. 1.-THE collection this
morning amounts to SO cents" he an
nounced. "We will now enter upon a
service of Thanksgiving" youths Com

OYSTERS ON TOAST.

For this you use the hot water pan
only, and into this put one quart of
oysters and their liquid, which must be
strained. Let this boil and then season
rather highly with salt and pepper, and
when the oysters look plump and are
curled at the edges dip them out of the
liquid and serve on slices of either gra-
ham or white bread, as preferred.

In selecting pork the skin should be
thin and pearly white, the fat white and
the lean of delicate red, juicy, firm and
finely grained. If the skin Is thick the
pig is old; if clammy the pork Is stale;
If the fat is yellow and soft the pork ia
not what it should be.
Whatever cut one buys, however 1t ID
to be cooked, it must be thoroughly
done. Rare pork is not only unwhole-
some, but positively dangerous.
With cured hams the case is different.
Fried or broiled ham should always be
first boiled. 1t is not only more econom-
ical, but it is more wholesome; and as for
taste, we'll broiled ham is one Of the most
popular dishes.
When ham is boiled before it is cut
every morsel of it can be used.
For broiled ham there is no compari-
son between the ham that has been boil
ed, then cut into daintily thin slices and
broiled, and the ham that is cut raw.
The same is the case with the fried ham.
If housekeepers would try boiling ham
before broiling or frying am sure they
would never 60 back to the old way.
All the little bits and shreds of ham
left after slicing can be used for omelets
and dozen or more popular dishes.
The fat, when there is too much, is
placed in the refrigerator and is used in
stews and to season many meats and
vegetables. 1t is always an improve
ment to poultry, and when fried with
liver gives it relish that nothing else
will.
There is one little point 1 am careful
about in cooking ham. Whenit is taken
from it's boiling liquid l have it plunged
at once into ice water. This makes the
fat white and firm and brightens the red
of the lean. 1t is great improvement.
always have the bacon and the salt
pork parboiled before cutting. Of that
also every particle is used. You will
smile, perhaps, when I tell you that l
look upon the skin taken from the break
fast bacon, before it is cut into strips, as
very valuable.
One of the uses to which put it is
cooking sausages. There are very few
people who don't prefer pork sausages.
The pure pork sausages are very hard to
get and never inexpensive. Well, get
the good, pure beef article and cook
them with bacon rind, and it's surprising
how many people think they are eating
the highest priced pork sausage.
To accomplish this deceit perfectly
the sausages should, of course, be cut
apart and washed. Then lay them in a
pan and pour over them boiling water.
After allowing them to remain for
three or four minutes, turn the water off
and prick the sausages with fork to
keep them from bursting while being
cooked. Put them in a pan with the
bacon rind cut into strips and fry for
twenty minutes. Turn them often.
Then have cut into fanciful shapes
some stale bread to put in the fat that is
left in the pan, and after it becomes a
delicate brown garnish the dish with it..
Brown bread for this purpose is espe-
cially delicious.
The bones, skin and! liquid in which
the ham is boiled l use to make soup
stock, mixing it, of course, with stock
made from beef. Properly cooked it
keeps well, and when fused judiciously
makes tasty addition to all vegetable
