BY Grace of a Yawn.

Yawning, except IN polite society,
should be INDUCED in rather than re-
pressed. The reason vie? A good,
free. unrestricted yawn counteracts
the effect of laughing. Just stop and
think how often a person laughs and
how seldom, comparatively. yawns.
The muscles are stretched In one d.
rection while laughing and by con-
slant repetition little lines are formed
around the corners of the mouth
Yawning stretches these same mus
Giles in exactly the opposite direction
and therefore tends to undo the mis-
chief caused by our good humor
Yawn, but don't stop laughing, or you
will be like the woman who at an ad-
vanced age had not line or wrinkle
In her face. but whose countenance
was entirely expressionless. Dreading
these same lines and wrinkles. she had
all her life schooled her features to
express nothing but joy or sorrow.

MIDNIGHT FIGHT
WITH DESPtRADOES
English Traveller Tells GrisIy
South American Story.

In describing certain experiences
among the outlaws and desperadoes of
South America an English traveller
tells the following grisly story:
Zone night farmer was reused
stealthy noises about the place. He
got quietly out of bed and, after listen
ing attentively. discovered that some
people outside were cutting hole
through the door close to the bolt by
which 1t was held.
ut did not require any great amount
of detective talent to guess the object
of the operation. and the best way to
foil 1t was suggested by a thong of
rawhide with loop on 1t which hung
from hook on the inside of the door
slipped the end Of it through the loop.
and there he stood armed with an i'm
promptu lasso, ready for action.
1T was an anxious time while the
farmer stood watching the hole in the
door grow larger and larger until at
last it was Of sufficient size to effect
the purpose for which it was made
The supreme moment arrived, and a
hand was stealthily inserted not only
through the hole, but also through the
loop of the little lasso which hung
skilfully around it. With sudden
Jerk the loop was frightened around the
wrist and the hand dragged in as far
as the aperture would allow. while the
thong was securely fastened to the
hook on the back Of the door.
The robber was perfectly helpless.
His companions came to his aid and.
having Intellectually dragged at the i'm
prisoned arm till they were tired. gave
up the struggle and prepared to depart
But they were prudent men, and it
occurred to them TO save himself their
companion might betray them. Dead
men, they thought. tell no tales, so
they killed him. New York Mail

TO TICKLE THE PALATE.
Corn Bread Made With Snow an Epi-
cures Tidbit.

Corn Bread Made With Snow an Epi
cures Tidbit.
It is not probable that every one
knows that corn bread made with snow
is delicious. 1t is the bread of the cpl
cures.
Naturally it must be made in winter.
It is served hot for breakfast or lunch
con.
Take a quart of meal and stir into
it half a teaspoonful of good suet lard.
Add teaspoonful of salt Stir in q
quart of light, clean snow, doing it in
a cool place where the snow will not
melt.
Bake it about forty minutes in Il
quick oven. Do not cut this bread. but
break it with the hands into small
pieces.
Rich Corn Muffins.-The following
recipe makes a rich muffin for either
breakfast or luncheon. AS the fashion
for eating cold bread and toast does
not prevail as much as it did all hot
breads are restored to favor.
To make these mullins use a cup of
cornmeal. a cup of -four half cup of
white sugar. two tablespoonfuls of but
ter. two eggs, a cup of milk, two small
teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a
saltspoonful of salt.
Rub butter and sugar together. add
the beaten eggs, the milk and at last
the cornmeal and -four, with which
have been sifted the salt and baking
powder.
This quality viii make about dozen
mullins. The method can be changed
by using Il cup of cream in place of
the milk and emitting the butter and
using only one egg.
Corn Batter Bread.-Sift the corn
meal, and to teacupful of it put in
twice the quantity of sweet milk. One
pint is a good measurement
Beat in two eggs, although you can
get along with enc: add half a tea
spoonful of salt. and to this add the
milk and meal gradually until every
thing is well blended.
A baking dish should be ready for
the batter and placed in a hot oven II
should be ready TO serve in half an
hour

ENLISTED MEN Dance
Privates in United States In
fantry Entertained Last
Night.
SOLDIERS TRUE GALLANTS.

All the members of the Tenth L.. S.
Infantry in camp at Glen Miller park,
who could secure leave last night, were
in the city and enjoying the hospitality
offered to the utmost The largest
crowd of the soldier boys was to be
found at the I. o. o. F. dance hall. No
more orderly crowd could have been
found. so far as the soldiers were con-
cerned as the officers had given the
soldiers instructions to be careful of
their department and while on the
floor, in the balcony or about the halls
and stairways Uncle Sans boys acted
the parts of gentlemen.
The men in olive said they enjoyed
the dance and found it one of the most
pleasant diversions they had encoun
tered since leaving Indianapolis. There
was a large number of girls and young
women, who were anxious to make the
acquaintance of the visitors and exert
ed themselves to show all a good time.
The floor was in good condition and
the music was pleasing. Provided with
a good partner, good music and a
smooth floor, the recruit and regular
alike found everything to his satisfac-
ton, and made the most of the oppor-
tunity. The soldiers were true gallants
and none of the fair sex went home I'M
accompanied. 1t was long after mid
night before all of the stragglers re-
turned to camp and crawled into their
blankeas spread beneath the pup tent,
oblivious to the damp ground.
A large number of onlookers visited
the dance hall in the course of the
evening. The most of these went for
the. purpose of conversing with the SOL
der lads during their moments of rest.
Many interesting yarns of Cuba, Alaska
and the Philippine Islands were told,
and today those, who heard, are telling
them over again for the edification of
friends.

Reflections Of q Bachelor Girl.

a love affair is like a well-so easy
to fall into. so difficult to get out of.
A man often thinks he will marry
girl until he discovers that she thinks
so too.
Platonic friendship is like perpetual
motion-a beautiful theory that no
work.
or course women should marry. No
home IS complete without a husband
any more than it is without a cuckoo
clock or 4 cat
Many true word IS spoken by acct
dent.
Hope is a good breakfast. but bad
supper.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For the roast of cold lamb course
serve an egg salad sprinkled with
minced mint leaves.
Happiness. though 1t may not seem
so. Is far more dependent upon pa
tiently doing the best we can than
upon any temporary triumph we may
attain.
Alcohol or a toilet water applied to
the wrists aud temples is extremely in
MIGRATING. A saturated solution of
borax is also found beneficial for this
purpose.
When all the other changes have
been runs on the salad repertory
make cream cheese into balls. roll
them in powdered nut meats and serve
them with mayonnaise on lettuce
leaves.
To clean picture frame glasses take
a small piece OF wash leather. wet il
with methylated spirits and rub on the
glasses. This viii clean them beauti-
fully. Polish afterward with a soft
buster.
When a pipe from a lavatory basin
or bath becomes elogged with soap
take handful each Of common salt
and soda. mix and force down the pipe
Leave for half an hour or more. then
pour down a kettle of boiling water
and flush afterward with plenty Of
warm water.
DishcIoths must be washed after they
have been used if they are TO be kept
sweet and nice. First wash them in
hot soapsuds. then rinse I'm clean hot
water and hang out to dry. One Of
sfhe incest of dishcloths is made OF

again and again and look as good as
new. Another good dishcloth II made

Tho Exact Spot.

When illicit distilling was common
In the highlands there was an old man
who went about the country repairing
whisky pots.
The gauger met him one day and
surmising that he had been doing re-
pairs at no great distance, asked what
he would take to inform him (the
gauger) where he repaired the last
whisky pot.
Och said the old man, she'll
shust tax hauf Groom"
Done retorted the gauger "Here
is your money, but be careful to tell
me correctly
Och, she'll mo- tell the gentleman 8
lee"
Getting the money, the old man
quietly remarked:
II shust mended the last whisky
pot where the hole was" - London
