FRUIT SALADS MADE
P 0SSIBLE BY
DERRY TINE"

The arrival OF the strawberry is bring
ing to the mind Of dainty cooks the
delicious fruit salads that they have
loved long since and lost awhile in IA
Nor OF vegetable and meat copcoctions.
The English do not combine the fruit
and vegetable salads as the French
chefs do. and the best American cooks
are tending 10 keep the fruit salad as
a dainty dish by Itself which can al
most take the place Of ices or sweets
on the spring and summer lunch table.
Strawberries are delicious in fruit
salad. and strange as it seems to meet
this familiar fruit on the table without
the usual accompaniment of cream and
sugar, it is very popular in the new
form and is combined with nearly every
ether fruit IN the list.
Grapefruit and Strawberries.
a grapefruit is especially good with
Strawberries. The core and fibre of the
grapefruit is removed after the fruit
has been halved. the pulp being loosen
ed from the sides in the usual manner.
The berries are then placed in the cell
ter and the whole is allowed 70 remain
on ice until very cold. A French dress
ing is added ar the table
Apples combine with nearly every
other fruit, but are best with celery and
mayonnaise. this being one OF the first
fruit salads 10 win favor several sea
sons ago, and known as Waldorf salad.
A pretty way 10 serve It is 10 scoop
out the inside or q red-CheelNed apple
without injuring the outside form of
the fruit. Then replace the apple
chopped with celery. the core parts be-
ing entirely removed. When apple
blossoms are prOCurable Ley form a
dainty decoration for the open part Of
the apple.
Filling for CucumbeTs.
Cucumbers may be opened carefully
and filled the same way, with & mixture
OF apple and chopped nuts. the cucum-
Der pulp being used and the shell neat
ly reclOsed so as TO present the ap-
pearance Of being untouched. The GU
oumbers should be packed in a bed OF
fresh crosses and chopped ice.
Fruit salads can be effectively served
in glass punch cups, packed in shaved
fee in the high glasses sometimes used
for grapefruit. A gcranium or mint
leaf is rubbed on the glass BY some
cooks. and in fact their fancy ha>
free play IN concocting these dainty
dishes.

EGGS AND THE HEN.
An Annual American omelet as Biq
 as Manhattan Island.

Let us sing the praise of the great American hen, who during the last year may well have cackled with pride over the production of nearly 1,sOO 900, GOO dozens of eggs. Do you realize what that means, demands a writer in the Woman s Home Companion. We'll listen:
 If instead of remaining quietly at home is Iowa she had chosen to demonstrate her powers to the universe at large, the hen might have laid those eggs, each two inches long. end to end in continuous chain. reaching 2SSSlS miles up to the moon, back again and then more than half way around the world for good measure-a total of 492, PA miles of eggs
 Furthermore, if those eggs had been made into one omelet half an inch thick that omelet would easily have covered Manhattan Island, an area of g square miles.
 An old Mohammedan legend tells that King Solomon used to travel through the air with all his armies on wonderful flying carpet protected from the rays of the sun by the wings of host of birds. Now. according to the poultry census. there are in the United States about 2S0,- 9j0 600 of chickens. guinea fowls, turkeys. geese and ducks of the poultry voting age, which is three months or over. If required to furnish a moving canopy like that of King Solomon the bar1yard fowls of this country. allowing only foot of spread to each, could easily shadow space of ten square miles.

turn from the Bible. Our lesson one day was the story of the faithful Israeli ties who were thrown into the fiery furnace and delivered by the hand of the Lord without so much as the smell of fire upon their garments. It fell to one little fellow to read the verse in which occurred, for the first time In the chapter, the names of Shadrach Meshach and Abed-ne-go Little Bud stumbled on Shadrach, fioundered on Meshach and went all to pieces on Abed-ne-go. Instantly tho hand of the master dealt i'm cuff on the side of the head and left him wailing and blubbering as the next boy in line took LID the reading But, before the girl at the end of the line had done read ing he had subsided into sniffes and finally became quiet. His blunder and disgrace were forgotten by the others of the class until his turn was ap- preaching to read again. Then, like a thunder-clap out of clear sky, he set up a wall which even alarmed the master who, with rather unusual gen. tleness inquired:
 What's the matter now?"
 Pointing with a shaking finger at the verse which a few moments later would fall to him to read, Bud managed to quaver out the answer
 Hook there, master-there comes them same damn three fellers again.
 Then, his whole face lighted with such a smile as only Lincoln could son to his side, silently pointing his long bony finger to three men who were at that moment crossing Penn sylvania avenue toward the door of the White House. They were Sumner Wilson and Thaddeus Stevens,

 One of these little tablets will of itself settle all questions of indigestion for that meal and will place your stomach and di- gestive organs in a better condition fof the next.
 Your blood will be enriched, and the depleted gastric fluids will be rebuilt.

THE PRESIDENT
 TOLABORING MEN
ROOSEVELT SAYS ELECTION OF BRYAN WOULD BE DISASTROUS TO ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE MEMBERS RESPONSIBLE.

Chicago October 17.-T. J. Dolan, gen. eral secretary treasurer of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and Dredgemen, has made public letter from President Roosevelt answering one sent by MT. Dolan, in which MT. Dolan declared that his organization was proud of MT. Tafts honorary membership in the brotherhood. President Roosevelts let ter follows:
 "The White House.
 washington, October 10, 1908.
 My Dear MT. Dolan-I have your letter of the 18th inst and am much pleased with the copy of the article for your journal which you enclosed Indeed, you may rest assured that if l did not be- lieve that Taft would occupy just the po- sition toward organized labor that l have tried to occupy, and in which you and l believe then, fond though l am of him, l would not back him. As you know, have never for one moment hesitated to oppose organized labor on any point where l thought labor was wrong, but just as little do I hesitate to stand up for organ ized labor when l think it is right. The administration can well afford to stand on It's record of positive achievement for or ganized labor; and as regards the isthmus
  do with the organized labor, that record is Taft's. You, yourself, know well what the United States government has done with regard to workingmen on the 1sth- mus; thanks largely to MT. Taft tho record of the government at Panama IS that of model employer, both as regards wages and hours and as regards the housing and care of employees.
 es q do not believe that the laboring men of this country have ever had in office a stauncher friend than MT. Taft. The attack upon him by certain self-consti-- tuted leaders ~of organized labor, If sue cessful, would in the long run sravely damage the causes of organized labor; for these men are trying to persuade the peo- pie of this country that organized labor has interests apart from and hostile to the interests of the great mass of the American people, and which attitude, if persisted in, would inevitably in the end result disastrously to organized labor it. self. 1 believe they will fail In this effort to misguide their followers and to do wrong to the American people and it is, above all things, for the interest of or ganized labor that they should fail. If MT Taft were not elected the chief suffer- CTS from the chaotic business conditions that would follow would be the working men; all of our citizens would benefit by MT. Taft's election, but the working man most of all.

A Lincoln Story.

Adlai E. Stevenson, in Woman's World.
 Just to illustrate the simplicity of the sch ool life which look back upon with the fondest of memories, let me say that the Holy Bible was for a time our only reading book And in this connection I am tempted to relate a story, told by Senator Henderson of Missouri, which not only makes the point of the simplicity of life in tn 0 old log school house, but also depicts the stern discipline which the master always exercised. Several months be- fore President Lincoln issued the great proclamation of emancipation which gave freedom to the whole race of ne- gro slaves in America, my friend, Sen ator Henderson of Missouri, came to the White House one day and found MT. Lincoln in a mood of deepest de- pression. Finally the great President said to his caller and friend that the most constant and acute pressure was teing brought upon him by the leaders .f the radical element of his party to free the slaves.
 Summer and Stevens and Wilson simply haunt me- declared MT. Lin- coln, with their importunities for a proclamation of emancipation Wh ere ever I go and whatever way l turn they are on my trail. And still, in my heart, I have the deep conviction that the hour has not yet come.
 Just as he said this. he walked to the window looking out upon Pennsylvania avenue and stood there in silence, his tall figure silhouetted against the light t of the window pane, every line of it and of his gracious face, expressive of unutterable sadness. Suddenly his lips began to twitch into a smile and his somber eyes lighted with twinkle of something like mirth.
 "The only sch ooling ever had, Hen derson" he remarked, was in a log school house when reading books and grammars were unknown. All our reading was done from the Scriptures andawe stood up in a line and read In

and there to connect the detached mono graphs. Again he corrected, interlined, scratched out and wrote over, and I took the whole away to my home and typed it.
 When I took the manuscript back to MT. Cleveland he signed it with an air of satisfaction
 Perhaps the oldest voter in the United States is Simon Harris, 105, who regis tered on the east side in thisseity, the oth- CT day, after announcing that he came back from Jerusalem to vote for Taft. It wasn't long after the old man, bent and shuffiing and with a long white beard, registered in the booth at AT Grand street that the reporters got on his trail.
 When it came to dates his memory was vague, and he would humble again and again:
 "Ohl long ago; long ago."
 He knew that he had voted for Lin- coin, he said, and was quite sure that he has voted for every president since, and always the republican ticket. More than four years ago he came back from Je- rusalem to vote for Roosevelt, and now, he said, he is here to vote for Taft. He wasn't sure about the republican candi- dates name, but he was quite sure he was going to vote the straight republican ticket.
 He came from Russia "a long time ago'-everything was "a long time ago. and became citizen soon after the civil war started. He was a peddler in those days, and lived in Mott street, near Bay ard. He paid only "$S or $10 for house in New York long time ago. and everybody was happier then.' One day, he doesn't remember just when, he be- gan to walk westward with his peddler's pack, and "a long time after that he reached San Francisco. He walked all the way, he says.
 'TIave you any children?" the old man was asked.
 ''No! no!' he cried with a show of anger they're dead-they're badr'
 "He has a daughter and grandchildren in Brooklyn" whispered a friend. "He says she's dead because she is not or thodox. He's religious"

 The best man noticed that one of the wedding guests, a gloomy looking young man, did not seem to be enjoying him self. He was wandering about as though he had lost his best friend. The best man took it upon himself to cheer him up.
 Er-have you kissed the bride?" he asked by way of introduction.
 Not lately" replied the gloomy one with far-away expression.
