Yes, Lincoln is a pertty live town,
Notwithstanding the croakings of a few

of some particular thing One hun
dred thousand dollars is pretty tidy
sum of money, yet it took Lincouln
just ten days to raise that amount by
popular subscription for the purpose
of building an institution that is not
expected to pay dividends in actual
money-that is to say, dividends of
the nature of "cent per cent on the
investment. Dead towns do not raise
that much money for anything. Dead
towns do not even undertake to raise
such sums. And some towns much

pretentious, take three times as long

HOME MADE CANDIES
DELEcTABLE SWEETS EASY OF
PREPARATION
OId-Time Butterscotch One of the
Simplest and Most Wholesome of
Dainties That Children Love.
-CharIeston DeIicacy.

Old-Time Butterscotch.-Put three
pounds of light brown sugar in an en-.
ameled kettle with three-fourths of a
pound of butter. Place over mod
crate fire to melt; let it boil until
thick, stirring all the while to pre-
vent scorching. Take the kettle from
the fire and pour the boiling hot liquid
into buttered tins or upon large fiat
meat platter. When stiff enough mark
off into big squares and when cold
break these apart and wrap each
square in wallpaper. Butterscotch
carefully made will keep for months.
1t improves with age.
Peanut Candy la Charleston
Mammy.-This delectable sweet is
called ground-nut cake in Charleston
and a fine molasses is used for it in
stead of sugar. Remove the shells
and skins from the roasted peanuts
and-if convenience for eating is liked
divide each nut in half; but the
brittle cake that shows the whole nut
is the dearer goody in the southern
city by the sea. Then put two heap
ing tablespoonfuls of butter and the
juice of one lemon in a quart of New
Orleans molasses and boil it with care
full stirring until it threads. Then
take the vessel from the fire and dump
in the nuts, mixing them well with
the molasses. When the mixture is
chilled enough to permit it's lying fair
ly well where it is putt drop light
tablespoonful in divided blobs along a
fiat buttered tin.
The moment for eating the cakes is
when they have become as brittle as
glass. The Charleston nanny
uses slab of old white marble for
the chilling purpose and sells them
'six for fl cents" looking as if she
had been as neat as pin about the
business in her stiff purple calico and
red head handcher and calling out
melodiously as she waddles along.

LITTLE APOLOGY.
Why The Wageworker Is Even Slim
mer Than Usual This Week.

n1er nan OSuai MS week.
We realize as much as anybody
that The Wageworker this week is
not quite up to standard. But when
the reason is given the editor has
faith to believe that Wageworker
readers will overlook the fact.
Monday morning the editor was
compelled to go to Omaha, and in
his capacity as deputy labor commits
sioner undertake to bring about a
settlement of the street car strike in
that city, and failing that to prepare
for an investigation of the difficulty
as provided by statute. He spent the
first three days of the week in an un-
availing effort to procure a settle
ment At this time he is not at lib
erty to make public his findings as to
the situation, that result now being
in the hands of Governor Shallen
berger The governor is probably in
Omaha before this issue reaches its
readers, and as labor commissioner
of the state making an official inves
tigation of the controversy
1t was a strenuous three days fo1
the editor man, and he offers this as
reason for whatever discrepancies
may appear in this issue of The

to raise the same amount of money
for similar purpose.
The Wagewcrker rejoices that the
Y NJ. c.. A. building campaign was so
gloriously successful = rejoices for
more reasons than one. First, it is a
complete answer to the assertion that
Lincoln is dead one." Secondly, it
shows that Lincoln is thinking a
whole lot more about men and a whole
lot less about dollars in these sadly
degenerate" days. That mere fact is
enough to make the most confirmed
pessimist rejoice and be exceeding
glad.
Now, if the same public spirited
gentlemen who pushed the Y. M. c.. A.
building campaign to success will join
hands and help the workingmen OF
Lincoln to provide Labor Temple
they will have forever hushed the as
sertion that Lincoln is dead one.
What say you, gentlemen?

To Clean Cut Glass.

Experts in cut glass recommend the
following as the best method of clean
ing cut glass articles: Wash the glass
thoroughly with warm soapsuds and
cover with sawdust. AS soon as the
sawdust is dry, brush the article very
carefully with soft brush, reaching
all the crevices. 1t will come out as
clear and sparkling as a bubble fresh
from the pipe without injury to the
polish.
