Californian Secures World Record.
Smith Warren has returned from
Catalina and San Clemente. Making
his headquarters at Avalon, he made
three different trips to San Clemente,
remaining several days each time,
going after the big yellowtail The
first time over Mr.. Warren secured a
gold button fish, with nine-ounce
tackle. Then nothing would do but
he must go after the worlds record on
three six tackle, and he got that with
45-pound yellowtail, brought to gaff
in SO minutes. Another gold-button
fish was landed in % minutes, but
Warren admits it was hard work He
says the inference that the big yellow
tail of San Clemente are not so active.
nor such hard fighters as the average
20-pounder at Avalon is not true. So
far as getting strikes was concerned it
was simply a question of keeping the
bait away from the smaller fish until a
gold-button yellowtail could be induced
to take it.-Los Angeles Examiner.

In the German, noun which takes
it's name from a place, like this par
ticular kind of meat, adds the syi-
liable ser" to the original word. For
instance, Wienerwurst means sausage
which was originally made in Wien;
Frankfurter, those from Frankfurt,
etc. And Hamburger steak is the
proper way to pronounce the steak
which is chopped finely after the fash,
ion popular in Hamburg.
Hamburger Cakes.-Have the butch,
er add fat to the ground steak. Then
grind into the meat some onion, and
mix well. To form it into cakes, use
a biscuit cutter, since by this method
the cake will be even through, and
can be thoroughly cooked. Salt when
nearly done, for early sailing draws
out the juice.
Thicker the gravy with a little -four
and water, add a dash of Worcester
shire or chilli sauce and send to table
hot.

Louie is the brightest youngster in
the South side. II you doubt this ask
Louie's father. According to the same
authority Louie's mother consented to
the sacrifice of his curls recently and
he was taken to the nearest barber
shop. He was left unguarded while
the deed was being committed and
the horrid barber-just think Of the
poor mothers feelings the clip
pers. So when Louie's father re-
turned for him the boy proudly ex-
hibited hairless poll for his In
spection.

didn't leave much"
NO." chirped Louie, "but it'll grow
out again all right, cause he left the
seeds in."-Kansas City Times.

tor, porter and passengers crowded to
the door with our fellow passenger,
eager to hear the news; for there Is
deal of sympathy in all kinds of
people. To everybody's surprise,
there was the son himself, waiting
for his father. Before the mans ex-
preston of delight had fairly escaped
him, he saw that the boy bore news.
In quiet voice, which we could not
hear, the son let out the worst. like .
pistol shot that had been preceded ny
no angry talk. The old man stag
gered sidewise, sort Of on the axis
of the arm which the boy held, and
cried aloud: my God! You don't
mean to tell me that my daughter is
dead!" Then he staggered away, all
in heap, the visible incarnation of
a broken heart.
He had told us about that girl,
about the honors she had won at
college, about her skill on horseback
and in outdoor sports, and about what
comfort it was to know that she
was with her brother in the latter S
sickness. And all the while it was
the girl herself who was dead. II
was a subdued and gentle crowd OF
men and women that rode together for
the remainder of that day; it was the
touch of nature that welded us all
into kinship, and set each of us tc
wondering what might be waiting fo1
us at the next turn of the road.

when I was making my long jump
west. At Chicago one Of the passen'
gers was given a telegram from
some place out in Montana, saying
that his boys condition was the same.
He was a man from Philadelphia, VINO
had been called west in a hurry; II
seemed that he had boy and girl
out on a ranch. In the friendly Amer
lean way, we all sympathized with
him and tried to cheer him up; and 1t
did seem as If we had diverted his
mind, for he was one of the most
friendly and amiable of the cars pas
sengers.

something goes down into the deep
and real nature of a man, all the SUI
perficial happenings in the universe
cannot affect him. The San Francisco
earthquake was mere incident to a
few people who were weeping by the
bodies Of their dead that April night.
Beneath all the pleasant chatter and
polite exterior I could see that this
man was like war horse Juggling at
the bit which holds him back The
train was due at the Montana station
about eight o'clock in the morning;
the man was awake and dressed at
four, and in the smoking-room com.

anxious father-heart was bare.

"pon'ts" for Meat.

Don't put salt meat on to boil in
hot water. If cold is used the salt
will be extracted while cooking.
Fresh meat, boiled, to be served
with sauce at table, should be put on
to cook in boiling water; when the
outer fibers contract, theinner juices
are preserved.
Meat put on to cook for broth
should, on the other hand, be set to
cook in cold water that the juice may
enrich the soup.
Don't add cold water to boiling
meats; add it very hot.

The Abused oyster.

Everybody knows the story of the
boy who spelled August with an r,
because he wanted to eat oysters in
Orgust. And this was a true picture
of the popularity of the oyster when
ehat old joke was new. But times
have changed; the bivalve has fallen
into disrepute. 1t is declared to be
lacking in nutritive value and CORE
spondingly long on germs. Indeed, so
strenuous has become the opposition
that Uncle Sam himself took up the
cudgels in behalf of the oysters, and
the department Of agriculture OF the
government has made thorough in
vestigation of their cultivation, mar
keting and food value. The result is
satisfactory to the lovers of this food
of the sea, and promises to reinstate
it in its former high place.
The alarmists tell us that the
greenish tinge in oysters is due to the
presence of copper Study has proven
that while this is sometimes SO, the
greening is more often because they
have been fed on green water plants
and the coloring matter of the plant
has been taken up by the oyster
juices. The color is said to be harm
less.
Condensed, tie report says: "A
quart of oysters contains about the
same quantity of nutritive substance
as a quart of milk, three-fourths of
pound of beef, two pounds of fresh
Goldfish or a pound of bread. They
| come nearer to milk than almost any
| other common food material, both as
regards the amount and proportion of
| nutrient"
This is indeed praise and daunts
only the oyster lover whose purse is
slim. For until the price of the oyster
more nearly corresponds to that of
milk, there is no danger that he will
prove a formidable rival.
