Calling on Ones Friends Is Fast Dying
Out.
1t VIII be a sad day when the art Of
calling dies out. 1t WIN mean we shall
either have no friends at all or only
those friends we can count on by brib-
cry or payment-namely, the offer Of a
meal.
An afternoon can is a compliment
to the hostess. The acceptance Of an
invitation where food is offered is
quite the other way round. The com
pliment then comes from the hostess
and not from the guest, as in the case
Of an afternoon VISIT. life is too
short to callg' some one exclaims.
Life is nothing of the kind. In large
cities It is certainly difficult to make
calls at long distances on particular
days, but even that can be accomplish
ed and should be at least once a year.
Life is rather short to toll about
paying visits and finding no one at
home or to find some selfish hostess
has gone out on her own particular
day because she thought she could
amuse herself better at a wedding or
a matinee. A woman who tells her
friends she has a day and then uses
that day for some other amusement
deserves to be cut of a visiting list
She shows herself unworthy Of CON
sl6elEs39B and undesirable for friend
ship. That wCGSs, Is 3 selfish woman.
Absence from home or AiecSs should
be the only cause to keep a lady fSess
her drawing room on the day she spec
ihes she is at home.
Every one has not a large enough
circle Of friends to be at home every
week or even every fortnight. Then
let her be at home one day in every
month, and II she chooses her day by
the date and not the day Of the week
she win give all her friends who have
days Of their own a chance of calling
on her. Suppose she says ''the 9th"
Well, one month the 9th viii fall on a
Tuesday, the next on a Friday, the
next on Monday. and so on, so that
in time all her friends will find her in.
Besides notifying the date on her
cards, she can ask a few special
friends in to tea each month on that
particular date.

W 0 MA N X IND

There are so many ways OF cooking
eggs. so many endless combinations,
that pausing on the threshold Of the
fascinating subject. one scarcely knows
where 10 begin. 1t seems hardly cred
Ible that there are still surviving few
benlghted minds to which the word
'egg' suggests only the inevitable
boiled, scrambled, poached and fried.
Some OF the combinations are fussy,
and some are very simple, and 1t is
only a few Of the simplest kind that
will be described Many a harassed
woman has been suddenly overtaken
by an unexpected guest for luncheon,
and as there are usually eggs in the
house 1t is well to know something at
the same time a little out of the ordi-
nary and not too difficult to prepare at
short notice.
Take, for instance, the addition Of a
little chopped pimento to the usual
scrambled eggs, and you have a varia-
ton at once piquant and agreeable.
The best way to scramble eggs is
first to melt a small piece Of butter I'm
a frying pan, then break your eggs
into 1t without beating them, allow
Ing two eggs for each person. Then
add little milk, another piece Of but
ter and salt to taste and stir them
quickly over a fire that is not too hot.
When they are done, not too soft and
not too stiff and hard, sprinkle a lit
tie paprika over them, and they are
ready to serve. In case Of adding
chopped pimento, stir It in just before
the eggs are done.
And from the southern creole cooks
comes a pleasing change from plain
fried eggs-to serve them with a good
tomato sauce. Fry the eggs lightly in
hot butter and before serving pour
over them the following tomato sauce:
Chop three onions and fry them to a
light golden brown in a generous tea
spoonful Of butter; then add heaping
tablespoonful of -four and mix well
with onions and butter. Add very
gradually, stirring all the time, a can
Of tomatoes and continue stirring until
the sauce thickens; then add a tea
spoonful Of salt, two whole cloves,
half bay leaf, a generous sprinkling
Of paprika and a quarter of a tea
spoonful Of mace. Let it simmer I'M
til thoroughly blended about fifteen
minutes; then pound through a coarse
PURGE strainer, and it Is ready to serve.

 Alabama can be proud of her papers this year The Ledger undertook to take special notice of each edition, but could not. They came So thick and so fast and so good that the task grew beyond the efforts of one man. or the united efforts of two or three editors.
 The Alabama papers that are papers are trying to keep the standard high, have done themselves proud this year. It has been hard year for pa . pers, but there Is a certain standard that commands support. There is an excellence that puts a paper where it doesn't have to beg men to pay what they owe as if it were favor to the paper to pay an honest account.
 Last week one good paper said that the owner did not hope for presents for his family. but did hope that enough people would pay up to enable him to buy the necessities for his family. It Is the last of that kind of appeal.
 4 man owes his paper as he owes his grocer. and he sh0uld pay the one as honestly as he pays the other A weekly paper should not credit A man for year for a dollar No good man should ask that. A fellow who neRiects for whole year to pay one silver dol- lar for paper should be cut off. He is not it to have credit for anything There are many men who do not con- slider their obligations and the news papers can make them honest by sim ply refusing them credit.

 The dead: John Mullins. United States marshal. Richmond. Ky; Rich ard Ross. miner.
 The wounded: Marshal Tate. Somer- set. Ky: Marshal Ryan. Somerset. Ky; several miners whose names were not given. were also wounded
 The trouble arose over the refusal of strike promoters to obey q tenn poFary restraining order issued by Judge A. M .sJ. Cochran at Covington, Ky, several days ago. Marshais Siler, Ryan, Henry Waddel1, Messtngale and Tate of Somerset. and Marshal Null lihs of Richmond, went to Stearns early today and found the strike promoters barricated In the McFerran Hotel. As the marsbals approached. they were fired upon. They returned the fire. Mullins was instantly killed and several of the miners wounded.
 The hotel was then burned 10 the ground and 1t is reported that sev- eral of the alleged miners were burn ed to death, although this cannot be verifed As the building was falling the miners fled Marshal Ryan was separated from the others, and. 1t is feared, he win be killed. A posse of fifty men left Somerset for Stearns tonight. as 1t Is feared further trouble may ensue.
