OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING MAYS 1909
On The Safe Side.

Henry a. Tunner is a commercial
traveller whose work takes him up
and down the State of Texas. In
Fort Worth recently he needed a
hat, so he proceeded to one of the
citys grandest mems furnishing
stores and stated the fact. The oblig-
ing young clerk who waited upon
him, after the purchase had been
made proudly announced that his
house had the only machine in town
for cutting initials in the leather
bands of head covering and asked if
Turner would like to have his chapeau
marked.
What initials?" inquired the
merchant-prince-to-be, swelling out
his chest.
Well. let me see" said the re-
fective Turner, and after further de-
liberation announced his choice as

Niok1ames of our Cities.

Little Rock is the City of Roses,
from the floral growth which adorn it.
Racine, Wis, is known aS the Bell
City, from the nature of the articles
made there.
Lafayette. in the same State, Is
the Star City, from the routes which
radiate from it as a center.
The Shoe City is Lowell, Mass.
for like reason, as is Holyoke, in
the same State, the Paper City.
Detroit is the City of the Straits.
from its geographical situation on
the border between Michigan and
Canada.
Indianapolis is sometimes called
the Railroad City. from its central
situation in regard to railroad con-
nectiOns.
Pekin, H., rejoices in the title OF
the Celestial City, from the fact that
it was named for the capital of the
Chinese Empire.

SIGNS.

The days are getting CHEEKY,
The skys are blue, my dearie,
And the road of erst so dreary
Now is tightening with song.
Trees that arch above are leaving
Naked days and sere retriving,
And the hearts that erst were grieving
Now are rollicking along.
Now the violins are singing,
Forms in rhythm now are swinging,
And the winds perfumes are bringing
In joyous wave and strong.
And before the years much older,
Growing bolder and yet bolder,
Dimples will peep from o shoulder
Psek-a-boos will be along.

What il q Fresh Eff7

The question, What constitutes a
fresh egg? was settled at the con-
Guiding sessions of the first congress
of the French Milk Industry and
Dairy Produce Societies. After a
very lively discussion, joined in by
over 200 members of the congress, the
following. definition was agreed on:
"A fresh egg is an egg which, on
being tested, is found not to have
suffered in any way from evapora-
tion, and which shows no trace Of
decOmpOSitiOn.

Doctor Lonf 0utdone At Last.

For instance, there is a deep-sea
fish in shape like John-dory which
has literally a globular electric light
hanging in front of his mouth at the
end of a long arched cord springing
from the back of its head. This light
illuminates the darkness of the depths
and serves to attract the small fishes,
| suppose as lamp attracts moths,
for they float rapidly into the open
and expectant mouth of the larger
one, who thus with very little trouble
enjoys a substantial feast.

Tender Beefsteak.

I saw a request from Katherine for
cooking beefsteak so that it will be
tender.
I often take roundsteak, about two
inches thick. season with pepper and
salt. and place in a very hot. dry
skillet; brown thoroughly on both
sides. then add boiling water, cover,
and let simmer on back of stove; keep
covered with water all the time. fix
this right after breakfast and let sim
mer until dinner time: it is excellent
and makes fine gravy.

To Cook Steak Tender.

To fry beefsteak, slice your meat,
lay it on clean board. then with a
butcher knife chop it lightly all over
the short way Of the slice; then turn
the meat over and chop the long way
of slice. Some pieces OF meat take
more chopping than others. Roll the
meat in -four, with a little salt in it.
Fry in lard. turning the pieces often.
Put in dish and cover tightly to
keep In the steam.

A Pie Hint.

II. when making a juicy pie. you
would moisten the edge OF the under
crust with water before putting on the
top crust, then press both crusts to-
gether, the Juice would never boil out,
and you would have much nicer
pie.

SO the hat was marked, and putting
it on, the drummer started out OF
the store. The mystitied clerk S
curiosity got the better of him before
the customer had reached the street,
and, hurrying up, he asked pordon,
and said he would like to know the
reason for those letters, adding:
Why, anybody can see it's hat!
