HoW's This For Mud?

Lippincott's~
Of all the yarns that ever came
down the, line regarding deep mud,
the following should be entitled to
the blue ribbon. It happened IN the
place where mud originated.
A man was walking along the road
side one. summer day and noticed a
fairly good looking hat out in the
road. Reaching out with his cane;
he gave it a cut and was startled to
hear a voice exclaim: i'Here, what
the deuce are you doing?"
Then he made the astonishing dis
covery that the owner Of the head
piece was under the hat, up to his
ears in mud.
~Great heavens!'' exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. "ls that
mud as deep as that?''
"Deep?" cried the victim. NSWhy,
man alive. l. mstanding on a load OF
hay.''

NITROGEN IODiDE.

A Wonderful Substance That . Mere
Breath Would Explode.
"What would be the consequences Of
firing a barrelful Of nitrogen iodide it
would be impossible to say" declares
a writer in the London Strand Maya
zine, simply because the stuff is too
awful to be made in such quantities.
''It may sound like a joke, but it is
nevertheless the truth. that the tread
of a housefy is sufficient to explode
this dangerous material. 1t is not
necessary that a fly should walk over
the compound. 1t has only to let one
foot come into contact with the explo-
sive, when the jolt causes 1t to ex.
plode and to blow the insect into the
air.
Another manner in which the pecul
lar property Of this explosive can be
demonstrated is by scattering a small
quantity Of the dry powder over 4
sheet Of clean paper. 1t then resem.

STlLTON CHEESE.
Il Differs In tho Making From the Or
binary Cheese.

Il Differs In tho Making From the Or
binary Cheese.
Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses in the method of manufacture.
Each Stilton is made in a circular
mold, or vat, two feet deep and about
nine inches in diameter. perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk
has been turned into curd by means Of
rennet it is transferred into the vat,
which is lined with a coarse woven
cloth, with a ladle. When a thin layer
Of curd covers the bottom Of the mold
a little dry salt is sprinkled over It.
This is supposed to create the blue
mold often found in Stiltons. Then
more curd Is added in layers until tho
vat is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out of the holes
into the pan in which the vat stands.
After the curd has stood for twenty
four hours a tin disk is laid on the
top and a weight applied to hasten the
expulsion of the whey. When quite
firm, the cheese is removed from the
vat and placed on a shelf to dry. After
some days the cloth Is taken of and
the cheese is left to ripen in special
room, the temperature Of which never
varies.-London Answers.

Uncle Jack Says Republicans
Prone to Drift From
Party Lines.
WAS IN TALKATlvE MOOD
AND HE INFORMS THE SCRIBE
THAT THERE SHOULD BE A
STRONGER UNITY OF EFFORT
IN THE INDIANA PARTY.

Martlrsville Ino., Dec. Capt.
John K. Gowdy, who, witt Mrs. Gowhy
is a guest of the Martinsvlle sanita,i-
UNI, has given out ar interview con-
corning the future Of the republican
party in Indiana, aud also has reasons
for the defeat of the candidate for gov
ernor in the last election He said
There is tendency among republi
cans to drift away from the lines
which have made the party great and
a power for good. Thcv are gradual
ly, but surely. drifting into liberalism
in voting. If repuLlicanism was right
in the sixties, culmiuatin. in 1900 in
the election Of the Immortal Mckinley
to the presidency. it is right now.
Il hope the day will never come
when we will not have two strong no.
litical parties in this country. We
need them. This tendency to liberal
ism in voting against party candidate
rather than standing by and UNFOLDING
party principle has strong tendency
to destroy the strength of political par
ties and organized bodies for the pro-
mitigation of principles. l am oppos-
ed to liberalism, because it leads men
from party principles and tends to
make the platform a secondary matter.
Believes in Option.
Capt. Gowdy said that if he were
advocating the course of the party in
the next campaign. he would only
point to the very recent local option
elections held all over the state. put
the same plank in the platform and go
before the people in that manner. He
believes it to be right, and says it is
what the people want. as has been
shown by their vote.
The people do not want statewide
prohibition" he said. when they ia
their wants. The last election, for
| example, was a handicap to James E.
Watson, the candidate for governor
but he would have been elected anyhow
if the special session of the Legislature
had not been called, or if there had
| been more time between the special
session and the election. The cleo
ton came too soon after the specia
session to permit the readjustment OF
| the broken lines.
Capt. Gowdy said that he still believ
ed in the old love feast as usual, not
only in the county organizations, but
also in the city. district and state. ant
wanted to see it go on in the same wa,
in preparation to place the republican
party where it belonged in 1910 H.
also advocates his principle of HOLDING
the state convention before that Of the
district and county, so that the lesser
lights may get an idea from the plat
form before making their declarations
Then, he thinks the party as whol'
will be united.

At the Murray.

Judging from the reception that
was given the vaudeville bill at the
Murray last evening. it is going to
prove the most popular SO far this
season. 1t is a double header bill. In
other words it has two feature acts.
Acts that are capable of heading any
vaudeville show. The Heidelberg Four
made the hit of the evening, if you
could say any one made the best hit,
with the most harmonious quartet
music ever heard in this city. The
Cornallas Family have just about as
good an acrobatic act as you will find
anywhere. The little girl that they
feature is unusually good for her age.
Marie Mcneil the cornetist, plays that
sweet soft music that tends to bring
tears to the eyes. Barnes-Reming Co.
have a sketch, although on the same
line as most vaudeville sketches. is a
great deal better and more laughable

Boyer Company.

With every available seat taken, the
Nancy Boyer company gave the initial
performance of the weeks engagement
at the opera house Monday night. The
play presented, THE Girl from Out
Yonder," was without doubt one of the
best plays ever given by a stock COM
pany in the. local playhouse.
The story in four acts embodies an
abundance of genuine heart interest
rich comedy quaint situations. and the
ability displayed in the portrayal OF
the different characters made a de
cided impression with the audience
which responded again and again with
rounds of applause. The many favor
able comments and words of praise
heard on all hands make it a safe pre-
diction that the week will be big one
for the company, and more especially
since the management gives out the as
surance that there are more good
things in store for the patrons of the
local theater.
