MUST LOOK AHEAD
ALWAYS WISE TO PLAN MEALS
IN ADVANCE.
BY Doing That, Cheap Cuts of Meat
Can Be Made to Do as Well as
Those That Are Much More
Extensive.
BY JEssICA E. BEsAcK.


Director Department of Domestic Sci
ence and Art. National Corn Exposition.
Omaha, Neb.
To delay the planning of a dinner
until the hour of it's preparation has
arrived is bad policy. A hasty or
der over the telephone will then bring
only picked over materials which
there is no time to cook An appeal
to the head of the house to bring
down a steak or other meat that will
cook quickly" results in a belated
meal and often an expensive one.
A housewife should do her own
marketing and select her meats with
care. The cheaper cuts of meat are
just as nutritious as the more expen-
sive ones, and they can be made very
palatable.
Every housekeeper should know the
anatomy of the meat-producing ami
mails, the location of the different cuts
of meat and how to cook them,
whether she is compelled to look aft
er their preparation or not. This is
not hard to do, and requires but little
time. Any butcher will be glad to as
sist at time when he is not busy.
A few things to remember, in buy
ing meat, will be of help.
The distribution of fat in flecks
through the meat indicates slow fat
tening and good feeding. This meat
will be more tender than where the
meat is gathered in punches by quick
fattening.
Yellow fat indicates age and may
mean tough meat.
Tough meat will become tender if
allowed to stand a short time in vine
gar. The Italians use olive oil and
vinegar for this purpose. Flank,
chuck or round steak will be benefited
if treated in this manner.
Meat is much more tender after
hanging, for the stiffness of the mus
cles to pass away. A great deal of
meat is bought too fresh and as con-
sequence it is tough. This is the rea-
son tender meat is not often obtained
in the small markets. Beef should
hang from two to three weeks.
Some recipes:
Meat Balls with Horseradish Sauce.
One pound chopped chuck, one tea
spoonful salt, 1-6 teaspoon pepper.
Make into firm balls and scar in hot
butter, cook at low temperature and
serve rare.
Horseradish Sauce.-One cup horse
radish, vinegar to cover, two tea
spoons sugar, one teaspoon salt, one
sour apple, grated. Serve cold.
Salisbury Steak. One pound
chopped chuck steak, one teaspoon
salt, one tablespoon lemon juice, two
tablespoons minced parsley. Cook as
above, and serve rare.

Grace.

A paper out in northwestern Kansas
tells of a pious old farmer who has
the habit of gazing at the rafters in
his dining-room when saying grace.
One day while so engaged he for
got himself. and his grace sounded
something like this: I'VE thank thee
for this food andy Joe! there's that
darned gimlet I've been looking for for
the last six months. I'll have Jim
go up there and get it. Thou hast
been gracious to us, o Lord, and
again we thank thee. Amen!"-Kan-

Saved by His Horse.

Sebec. Me.-Dragged safely across
the Sebec river by his horse as he
gripped the reins with one hand, while
his wife was swept down the stream
before his eyes to her death, was the
experience of Samuel Gates, an aged
Barnard farmer. The couple were
fording the river in order that they
might reach Dover fair grounds before
the crowds began to arrive. when the
waters of the river. swollen by the
lifting of a coffer dam gate above,
swept them from their seat. Mrs.
Gates body was quickly recovered,
but life could not be recalled.

staid all night with friend on Little
Beaver, and in the morning headed
for Arkansas city.
I'm crossing the lane by the Hough-
ton ranch 1 sighted big bobcat, and
and as it took north through the Scott
ranch 1 galloped after, shaking out
my rope as 1 went. l missed the old
fellow twice, but got him around the
middle at the third cast. We were
now in rocky swale, and / turned
Badly for high ground, expecting tc
pull the cat into Silverdale.
'Eut then a bunch of 'pesky yaller'
hounds that had been running the cat
came yelping over the hill, and the
wildcat made a jump and landed right
on top of me and old Badly. The
slack of the rope caught in the rock
and jerked the saddle sideways.
About that time things began to
get lively. Badly raced, snorting, over
the rocks, the cat screamed, the yaller
hounds yelped at Baldy's heels. 1t was
entirely too busy for me, so / dropped
OFF on some nice smooth stones. Badly
sailed over the hill with the cat still
clawing him, and when 1 got sight of
the old horse again he had shed sad
die, cat and hounds"
Purcivals left arm was badly
scratched and his left leg wrenched.
No bones were broken. He says he
will take a gun to hunt wildcats in
the future.

liyers to those of common clay mes
sage that she has received from on

sometimes take on very materialisr
tic hue does not alter their ef1ectiVe-
ness. in her opinion.
One day she went into the once OF
a well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reyeai
an awe-inspiring secret.
"The Lord sent me to you for 80,

piled, blandly, because the Lord

DEAD MANS BODY
GUARDED BY DOG
DRIVES ALL FROM REMAINS OF

SURRENDERS ONLY TO DEATH
Animal, Permitting Not Even Men,

side, Is chIoroformed, Dy-
ing Beside Friend.

Cleveland, O.-"Loyal unto death"
would be an appropriate inscription
for the headstone over the grave of
Captain, a full-blooded Irish setter,
were he to be given the sepulcher
he deserved. And were John Murphy,
his master, alive to-day, doubtless it
would be so. For the dog gave up his
life jealousy guarding his masters
body.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. Murphy
picked up on the street and carried
home half-starved, shivering puppy.
The two became inseparable and
when Mr.. Murphy became i'll the dog
insisted upon sleeping in his room at
night. When his master died the dog
seemed to know instinctively. The
animals grief was pitiable. When
members of the family sought to take
him from the room the dog sprang
upon the bed, crouched beside the
body, and fiercely refused to permit
any one to approach.
When the undertaken arrived to
take charge of the body the dog at
tackled him viciously and drove him
quickly from the room. Then Captain
returned to his vigil on the bed, growl-
ing savagely when any one approached.
Members of the family, whom the
dog had known for years, were per-
mitted to enter the room, but not to
approach the bed. A step in that di-
rection was a signal for Captain to
rise in angry menace
For an hour the relatives of the
dead man sought to pacify the dog
and induce him to leave the bed.
Every effort met with failure. Just
as often as one neared the body the
animal would rise and prepare to
spring upon him. One after another
they tried without avail 20 make
friends with the animal, and finally
all gave it up.
Some one remembered after a time
that John Donahue, a close friend of
the dead man, had also been a favor
lite of Captains. Donahue was sum-
moned. Captain remembered DON
ahue and welcomed him, though
charity. When he went up to the

Foraker, Okla.-G. C. Purcival, a
well-known resident of the Usage ma

exciting experience with huge bob
cat several days ago. He is looking
little worse for the wear, and is
walking with two canes.
Yes, it's true. l tried to do Jim
Warren's stunt of roping a bobcat,
and I got bruised upon the rocks for

Even at that, 1 would have landed

That Panama earthquake was only
q little one. It caused some appre-
'hension, but apparently did no dam
age. The canal at Panama was un-
dsrtaken in the full knowledge that
the region is in the earthquake belt,
but also with the conviction that less
danger is to be apprehended there
than would have threatened had the
United States adhered to the Near
aqua route, for the Nicaragua route
is much longer, and the longer the
route the greater the liability to in
Jury of the canal by earthquakes.

STRICKEN BLIND ON STAGE
Actor Loses His Sight, But Continues
Gamely In Play Until Curtain
Falls.

Toronto, Can.-Jules Kusell, an
actor appearing at the Majestic Music
hall, was stricken with total blindness
in the middle of his sketch. He fin
ished the act without the audience or
the people on the stage being aware
of his condition.
,Kusell and his wife, known as Els
telle Wordette, were giving a comedy
sketch lasting about 20 minutes. In
it Kusell sings several songs. Half
way through it he was seen to reel
slightly and pass his hand across
his eyes. No one attached any signifi.
canoe to it. but he himself knew from
slight pain in his head and a black.
ness before him that he was blind.
A momentary lull in the song
brought back his presence of mind.
With an effort he smiled on the house
and resumed the broken melody.
At the close burst of applause
rewarded him for an effort the cost
of which only the actor himself knew.
Turning his sightless eyes toward his
wife he bowed, and through the sew
eral curtain calls laughingly thanked
the audience.
The instant the curtain fell for the
last time Kusen staggered toward the
wings and was haf-carried to dis
dressing-room by friends. Three local
doctors were called and during the
whole of the night worked over the af-
| flicted actor.
Lighted matches were held close to
4
Spouse.
There is little hope that Kusell
will ever see again. His act has
been cancelled from the weeks bill.
Friends of Kusen who have known
him for years say he never had any
ailment which might have caused
blindness, and that his sight was al
ways good.

face and whined miserably. But at
the suggestion of Donahue's disturb
ing the body the bristles rose along
his back and the ominous growl re-
turned.
Donahue retired for a conference

picious Quaver in his voice, "but that
dog will never be taken from the bed
