THE CHANGES
 OF TIM E
By Emily D. Carroll.

MdlN GteN anu l, anu dS "N Sit" t' wOmanhood our friendship grew still stronger till at last we were almost in 1erarable. 1 cannot tell how many foolish promises we made to each other. for we were romantic young siiaple.ons and we loved each other I know one promise was never 10 marry, but always live together in some snug cottage where we should be as happy as the day was long.
 proved recreant to my promise. as witness my husband and two of the sweetest darlings that ever gladdened q mothers heart. Mary still lives in maiden medit ation, fancy free.
 She was a very pretty girl. four years my senior, though she did not look it. She was an orphan, and when a rich uncle in Philadelphia agreed to adopt her she consented to the ar engagement. Not long afterward her uncle died, and Mary was his heiress.
 According to promise we core sponded regularly for time. Such lengthy, loving letters as she wrote me! Never did a fond girl prize her lovers letters more than l priZed Mary's. She missed me so much, she said. She wanted to see me so badly. I must come and pay her visit. This was before my marriage. One thing and another happened to prevent my going.
 Gradually the years slipped by, and I had taken another name and my heart was thrilling with strange, de lightful, yet solemn feeling. But Mary Grey, my girlhood friend, was not for gotten. I wanted her to share my joy I wanted to say to her: Here is my husband and your brother, Mary sweet sister," 1 wanted to lay my first-born in her arms and say: He Is mine, Mary. Love him for my sake"
 But the poor girl was tied down in her New England home. She still wrote to me occasionally. and l to her, but not so often, for other du- ties claimed our attention. I talked about Mary so much that at last Charlie grew tired of hearing her name and began to tease me.
 Your friend is an old maid, isn't she, Lucy?" he asked me one even ing
 An old maid," replied, indignant ly. No, indeed, sir; she is not an old maid"
 At last Mary agreed to pay us d visit. What a time I did have in planning for her reception. She was an heiress, and, I feared, might think our little home very poor indeed. True it was comfortable, and all that Charlie and I cared for, but Mary was rich and used to much grander sur roundings, l unused.
 The glad day arrived and Charlie was to bring our guest from the sta tion in time for lunch. When heard the carriage l ran eagerly to meet Mary. But was that Mary; that tall, thin, sallow, dignifed woman, who looked as if she had certainly "swal- lowed a poker so straight and stiff did she appear?
 It was Mary beyond a doubt, for she kissed me quite warmly and said had changed very little since she last saw me. She was dressed very elegantly but not tastefully, and she had lost several of her front teeth. In short she looked anything but the pretty delicate. Mary Grey I had known and loved.
 Are you not dreadfully bothered with your children, Lucy?" she asked me after luncheon, "or are you fond of them?"
 "Passionately," I cried, as I caught

COUGH REMEDY

Best Remedy in the Market For

"I never had medicine in my store that
gave such universal satisfaction as Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Mr. p. N.
Shore, of Rochester, Ind. at is the best
remedy to-day on the market for coughs,
colds and whooping cough. One ofmv lady
customers told me recently that she could
not keep house without it, that since they
have been using it they have had no need
of a DOCTOR In case of severe attack OF
Group physician will usually call twice,
and perhaps half dozen times in severe
and long protracted case of Whooping cough,
while in pneumonia it Is often necessary that
he calls once or twice day for a week or two.
All of this trouble and expense NAV be
saved BY the judicious use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, for it is certain cure for
Group, and when given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears it will prevent the attack.
Pneumonia can also be prevented. This
fact has been fully proven, as during the al
most forty years in which this remedy has
been in general use, no case of cold or at
tack of the grip has ever resulted In pneu-
monia when this remedy was used, so far as'we
have been able to learn. 1t will be seen that
little forethought and By doing the right
thing at the right time, all danger and ex-

One was a combination of fun and
melody supplied by Frank Farrell
Taylor and Tom Carter, both blacked,
and Miss Blanche Davenport, not
blacked. The other act was provided
Helen Grantley and was weird, fam
tastic drama by Israel Zangwill called
The Never Never Land"
1t must have taken courage for vaude-
vile managers to try THE Never
Never Land" on their audiences, but
it is certain that it took no courage to
try out That Minstrel Man" which
was the combination of fun and melody
above referred to. Never have L seen
an act at the Orpheum which more
quickly justified itself than this latter
turn. 1t had no sense, but much buf-
foonery; it had no refinements except
in the wardrobe of the lady, whose
gown was pretty. But it had fun, a
million laughs, some very prettily sung
melodies, in which the three Joined now
and then in a harmonious trio, and the

he uttered with the solemn confidence

THE Never Never Land proceeded
slowly at first with it's audience. 1t
worked up to a thrilling climax of
pistols and two men and a disputed
woman, and II ended with a convinced
audience. A vaudeville act may end. we
now know, because Zangwill proved it,
in a tragedy. Everything must not close
in hilarity, and there are some truths
which writers of vaudeville sketches
may stage that end with tear-if the
author has the power. At the moment
of her death the duchess of Maldon
sees before her minds eye the single
tragic episode of her life in far off
Australia. She is returning to her home
with her bishop. Her husband has
recently died and she is gray and
bent with age. She faints at the door
step OF her home. She is dying. The
bishop leans above her form while the
snow whirls about them. The curtain
falls and what is then presented is this
episode in Australia years before.
At the conclusion of it's brief and
rapid story Of her love for a young man
and her devotion to an aged husband
which ends in a weird duel, and her
elopement with her lover, leaving her
husband dead before his hut-the cur
tain drops again only to rise and re-
veal the woman whose part in the duel
was criminal dying in the bishops
arms, praying for forgiveness and ut
tering the biblical truth that those who
stain themselves with their fellows
blood shall themselves die in violence.
The tragedy was well played.

also states that eight Englishmen out

recently were shot down by the natives.
and no white man is safe there. Once
the whites were feared because Of their

My uncle also tells me that he has
lost nearly 400 of his men in the last
three years. and that most Of them

Shikoku Inhabitants to Cope
With German Competition

According to Consul John H Snod-

awakening on the Japanese island of
Skikoku. lying south of Kobe. In Ka-
gawa prefecture, a center of straw braid
producing, men of means are engaged
in the manufacture of straw braid un-
like the people of other prefectures,
and braid of a better quality is pro-
duced. The annual value of this line
exported from the prefecture had been
between s650,OO0 and s75O.00O, but late
ly the export of unworked straw is in
creasing and straw braid men have be-
come alarmed 1t has been found that
the straw makes its way to Germany
where it is bleached and worked into
straw braid by skilled workmanship
The Kagawa straw braid guild is now
considering means for improving the
quality of its product and for success
fully coping with the German competi-
ton.

Culinary Notes

A fowl a year old may be cooked in
moist heat until the fibers are tender
tinized and then Drowned in the oven
with much basting and dredging to ap-
proXimate the glossy "carameled" ap-
pearance and flavor of a roast chicken.
A fowl a year old may be cooked to
give quite a diversity of dishes. The
breast, cut out neatly, may be cooked
in a casserole for one meal, the rest
may be stewed; of this the legs and
wings may be friend. and on a third
day the rest of the chicken, picked
from the bones. with any. of the breast
left over, may be served in a pie
Three pounds from the forequarter
of yearling lamb provide a convenient
piece for boiled lamb; the serag. or
neck end of the forequarter is good
for stew. but the part containing the
shoulder is preferable for boiling. This
will serve for dinner and leave enough
to be fine chopped, when cold, and used
for second meal.
For veal stew two or three pounds
from any part of the forequarter may
be selected; for other dishes of veal
the part of the hind leg that CORE
spends to the round" of beef will be
the choice.
For boiled ham buy about three
pounds from about the center of the
ham; when cold cut in thin slivers
across the grain of the meat. Very lit
tie of such a piece of ham will be left
for chopping. Taking into account the
very small quantity of waste in this
piece and the large quantity of waste
when either the shank or the round
end of a ham is selected, the higher
price asked for the piece from the cen
ter will not prove an extravaganza.
Breast of Fowl Zone Year, en- Cas-
seroIe-With a sharp knife cut the
breast. entire, from Va fowl a year old
and leave the rest of the flesh intact
Have three or four tablespoonfuls of
salt pork or bacon fat, butter or veg
etable oil in a frying pan, when hot
cook the breast over a brisk fire on the
skin side until slightly Drowned then
set into an earthen dish; add about a
dozen slices of carrot and an equal
number of celery and pour in boiling
water to half cover the chicken put
on the cover of the dish and let boil
five or six minutes, then set to cook In

Allow plenty of time for cooking. as
the chicken may be kept hot in the dish
after It is cooked enough. Renew the
water as needed and add salt and pen

How TO Boil Rlce-Wash one Gun of

The Boudoir

1t is impossible for a girl to have
pretty hair or possess luXuriant tresses
when an old woman unless she brushes
and combs her hair before going, to
bed. To remove the pins and just
twist the locks around, or let them
hang. is as injurious as 1T is to ma
terials to lay them away without
smoothing. Both must be made ready
to rest If they are not to wear out
quickly.
1t does not take more than ffve min
utes to treat the scalp in such way
as to stimulate it. OF course, if one
has the time and energy to go in for
massage. so much the better, but this is
by no means necessary when the hair
is in normally healthy condition.
When it is not, the improved circula-
tion that will result from rubbing is
so beneficial in effect that effort should
be made to accomplish it.
Scalp massage consists merely in
placing the fingers firmly on the scalp
and bending the joints so that the
scalp is felt TO move over the skull
To let the fingers slide over the sur
face is only to tangle the hair, and
not to affect the circulation. From
time to time the fingers are raised and
placed on a new spot until each part of
the head has been treated in this man
ner When properly done it scarcely
disarranges the hair and does not make
snarl.
