CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thought of Business Man
 That Gave Serious Offense.

Two business men had been talking good naturedly the other day. Their conversation had reviewed number of things, and remark made by the pro- prietcr as his caller was leaving brought up the subject of prosperity In rather awkward way.
 Business with me has been a little dull of late. I've had only a few call CTS" he remarked
 The friend smilingly rejoined:
 You'll have enough of them in a short time-prosperity's coming right along. Why he added, emphatically, the next time I drop around, instead of being able to chat with you for half an hour, there'll be so many people ahead of me that it'll take me two hours to get to you-maybe I can't see you at all"
 q hope so," rejoined the proprietor, cheering up over the prospects of re- newed business activity.
 His caller literally "stormed" out of the office, leaving his erstwhile host in a state of bewilderment as to what had happened.

CHRISTMAS CHEER As Ever It Calls on the Housewife for Sweets, Pies and All the Rest of the Good Things
 of the Holidays.

Spread over buttered tins and cut in squares.
 An excellent imitation of one of the 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 salting 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 hut delicacy that cannot fail to appeal to the housewife at Christmas time is made by chopping a cup of nut meats with two cupfuls of dates, half cupful of figs, and half a 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 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 be coated in the same manner.
 Now that maple sugar may be ob- tained without great difficulty, an ex- cellent candy may be made by boiling three cupfuls with a cupful and 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. It may then be 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 candied cherries.
 Salted nuts arc now SO great a favorite that no elaborate dinner would seem complete without them. As ordinarily prepared, however, the salting 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 them into a kettle of deep fat-lard by preference-and letting them remain from 10 to 15 minutes. When done, they must be drained thoroughly be- fore being salted to taste, and they will be found to be just as palatable as the nuts that have been prepared by the far more laborious process.
 If you are in search of a novelty, in- stead of salting all the nuts for the Christmas dinner, try the experiment of "brandying" some of them. To do this, soak the nuts for about 36 hours in brandy-French brandy, peach brandy or applejack will do-then cover them with thin fondant, or merely roll them in powdered sugar The result will be hailed with delight

INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After lnfIammatory Rheumatism, Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Deveoped-Only Cut-
 cura Proved Successful.

About four years ago I had very severe attack of inflammatory rheuma- tism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in punches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many sure cures but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Re- solvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment for my hair 1t began to regain it's former glossy ap- pearance. Mrs. Lavina J.

YOUTHFUL MONITOR AT WORK
Little Sisters Error Corrected by Six
 Year-Old Authority.

Six-year-old Marjorie and four-year- old Josephine were making their first transcontinental trip from New York to San Francisco-and, of course, en- countered new marvels at almost every turn of the trip. But the ere scendo of their ecstatic outpourings was reached when they saw their first Indian families-braves, squaws and opposes.
 "Oh-h-h!" sighed Josephine, gazing wild-eyed at the moccasined, gaudily blanketed squaws, "ain't those squashes just splendid, thought
 Marjorie's equally deep admiration was momentarily quenched in her feel ing of responsibility as elder-sister monitor, and she eyed Josephine se- Verely as she admonished:
 They ain't squashes, Josephine; they're squabs."

The Christmas Spirit.

 Pycherby is hard-hearted man. The spirit of Christmas never touches him, and he always chooses Christmas eve to give his superfluous employees notice. His wife, however, is different; and she entered the dining-room with a troubled look.
 "Oh, Gerald" she said, Maud has just swallowed a quarter! What ever shall we do?'' S Maud. be it said, occupies the posi- tion of maid-cf-all-work to the Pycher- by household.
 'sDo?" repeated the master of the house. Well. l suppose we'd better let her keep it. She'd have expected a Christmas-bo anyhow!'

~N HRISTMAS without candy NN. would not seem like Christ VI.V mas at all, especially in AS homes where there are N 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 ob- talned, 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 l 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 palatablc as ever, the mother who would be up- to-date in her production of Christmas candies must prepare some of the newer delicacies.
 Ocean Foam" is another novel candy that is now being widely intro duced among lovers of homemade sweetmeats. To make it. take three cupfuls of light brown sugar and put It over the fire with a cupful of fresh | boiling Stir all the sugar has dissolved; then let It cook undisturbed until it will spin a thread. Remove, and when it stops bubbllng pour the mixture, little by little, over the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Beat with a wire egg beater until the texture is soft and creamy, and while beating flavor to taste with vanilla extract. At the last moment add cupful of chopped meat nuts, and drop from the spoon on waXed paper
 In place of the time-honored fudge" she may make the new Divinity Fudge sweet that is no more ex- pensive, that takes but little more time, but that Is far more delicious. Melt cupful of sugar in saucepan; when melted, pour it into another saucepan in which there is already cupful of cold milk Put this pan on the fire and cook slowly until the two have blended; then add two more cup fuls of granulated sugar, and one more cupful of cold milk, and reheat, cook ing slowly until it Is of proper con- sistency to remove from the stove At this time add heaping teaspoonful of butter and a cupful of finely | chopped nut meats; beat the mixture with large spoon until almost cold, then spread 1t over buttered pans, and line for cutting, like fudge.
 For those who like cocoanut candies the following recipe for what is known as "Cocoanut Strips" is productive of an inexpensive and palatable dainty: Cook two pounds of light brown sugar with cup of water and a tablespoon full of butter until the mixture boils. Cut the meat from a fresh cocoanut into shreds, and add it to the syrup, cooking until it threads. Whip with the egg beater until it is creamy; then spread it in buttered pans and mark in strips for cutting
 Another cheap candy, called Nut Creams" is made by boiling three cup fuls of granulated sugar with one cup full of rich cream. When of proper consistency remove from the fire, whip briskly with the egg beater, and add one cupful of chopped nEt meats.
