A Domestic Hen.
Joe Jefferson used to tell this OF

Joe Jefferson used to tell this one:
 'Tn the spring of 1892. being in the vicinity sR West Swanzey, N. H., II drove Sver to call on my old friend. Den Thompson. It happened that l called at an inopportune time, as tl,s women folk were housekeeping. In fact, l noticed as drove up to tho house that the clotheslines in the yard back of the house were laden with carpets.
 "Den was very anxious that should look over his prize fowls, in which he took especial pride. We went out into the big yard back of the house. As Den was pointing out to me his favor ttes we noticed one old hen going through some queer antics Sue was pecking away ut something on tue ground. lifting 1t in her bill and drop ping 1t again.
 "'What's the matter with the old Bid1y, anyway. Deny I asked.
 Den was silent for minute. then drawled out: ;.
 "Well. you see. Joe. as she's a rath- CT domestic sort of hen cal'late the old girl must be getting ready to lay . carpet. '"-New York Telegraph.

FORD IN OCEAN
 TO OCEAN CONTEST

Entrance blanks and fees were regularly mailed on May Sth to cover the entries of two Model T Ford cars in the Ocean to Ocean Contest, there- by proving MT. Ford's intention to stick to his original declaration and his belief that the low pricel and light weight car Is capable of mak- ing a good showing in this difficult test
 The cars selected are standard in every respect. the only change being in the bodies which are altered so as to conform to the requirements of this long ride. Nor will there be car ried any great load of parts and sup plies. The cars are expected to make the entire trip without a replacement, even without an extra tire.
 The cars have been assigned by the committee numbers one and two so that they will be the first to leave New York and if the drivers word can be accepted. first the rest of the way. Anyway their intentions are good and they are driving cars that have secured a reputation for mak- ing good.
 Each car will have two drivers who must go the full route as no extras can be picked up, or changes made after leaving New York. These driy- CTS are: in car Mo- 1, Frank Kulick and H. E. Harper; in car No. ,, Bert Scott and James Smith.
 The T. A. Drummond Company are agents for the Ford Motor cars in Pine Bluff.

A girl played postoffice at party and yelled and shrieked and howled and ran behind the door and scratched the young mans face in seven places, upset a lamp, kicked over the piano stool. and when he finally kissed her on the tip of the ear she falnted dead away and said she could never look anybody in the face again. They led the bashful. modest. gentle. sobbing creature home. and the next day she ran away with married lightning rod peddler.-Altoona (Kan.) Tribune

POLAR PEMMICAN.
Simply Dried Beef Shredded and Mixed
with Tallow.

Pemlnican! What is pemmican? The
average man knows that pemmican more
or less goes on every well conceived
polar expedition, but as to its compost
ton or constitution he is completely at a
loss. He will probably define it In terms
of polar exploration. Pemmican, he will
say three times out of four, is something
that polar explorers use.
Now, pemmican is much more Ameri-
can than the present day population, IL
antiquity is to count for anything. 1t
was originally preparation made by
the Indians and carried by them on their
hunting expeditions and on the war
trail. 1t consisted of the lean parts of
venison dried by the sun or wind and
pounded into paste. 1t was then mixed
with melted fat and pressed into cakes.
Occasionally few mild berries were
AIDED to improve the flavor.
The pemmican of today is specially
prepared from the round of beef
dried and shredded instead of pounded,
and mixed with beef tallow. Currants
are also added.
This preparation is valuable, first, be-
cause of the large amount of nutriment
that is crowded into small space, and
second. because it is found to be easily
