A Wise Judge Plugs the Fountain Of Evil

great wave OF moral reform has inundated
Washington, ID. G. They IRE going to make the cap
ital SO pure that you'll have to blow your be-
fore entering the Pennsylvania depot, and clean
your finger nails before climbing the Washington
monument.
1t has been known for some time that the social
evil flourished in Washington as nowhere else in
the land; that siciety was pretty much devoted to
bridge whist gambling and that statesman gov
eminent official who wasn't an adept at draw
poker hadn't much standing. But all this is to be
changed.
Three little boys were arraigned before Judge
Kimball the other day for playing marbles
for skeeps." Judge Kimball is the magistrate who
let old Harper off with small fine for selling
headache dope, but he knew when he had real enc
mics of public morality before him. and so he said
to these little boys:
The playing of marbles for keeps is violation
OF the law, and as long as I am the bench pro-
pose to break it up!''
Such Judicial perspcuity, determination and cour-
age have been needed in Washington for many
years. and it is good to record that the moral senti
ment is to be backed by the magistracy.
United States senators have been sued and shot
by their women. Federal judges have been caught
red-handed at poker, congressman play the stock
market and the rage for whist stakes that has
obsessed the first society ladies of the nation has
long tainted our national morality All efforts at
reform in these matters have been NIL No progress
toward moral betterment could be made while the
boys were playing marbles for "keeps"
We regret that our archives contain picture
OF the great soul who is behind this reform move
ment at the capital We have a good picture of
Jackass but it represents with four legs, and it
would be SANDER very useful creature, COM
paratively, to use it in this connection.

THE FILLING OF THE RED

ATTERBURYS.
retorted Mrs. Atterbury. In the
end they each made the sacrifice
suggested.
At last, and after many a
weary year. came the day that the
greedy red lighthouse tower had
accumulated $4,000 for them. As
a special concession to the occa-
sion. MIR. Atterbury ordered a
generous Sunday dinner, the first
they had had for many a year.
Under it's warming influence they
both relaxed and became almost
gay.

Atterbury, rearing back in his

The end of the whole matter
was that the Atterburys set out

month tour of England, Scotland.

Holy Land. When they returned
the nest egg was scattered from
Lands End to the River Jordan.
But the Atterburys were very.

Is left the grease, golden brown
and delicious. Now the useful
ness Of bacon only begins.
Hear this! From one pound of
breakfast bacon you get one pint
of precious bacon grease.
What do with 1t,
That's easy.
Fry eggs in it. You will never
again use lard. Even butter Is in
|ferior to 1t.
Season boiled string beans with
1t. 1t Is a substitute for cooking
bacon with them. Two or three
tablespoonfuIs will give the prop
|er flavor
Put II in potato salad. It beats
olive oil. Melt and pour over the
potatoes.
Fry onions in it. They will taste
like something, then.
Fry liver in it. You won't
have to fry bacon with the liver.
Season potato soup with it
the finest soup that can be made
without soup stock.
Fry apples in 1t. Yes, apples.
It's great.
Use it for German fried pota-
toes. They will get nice and
brown.
Flavor stewed cabbage with 1t.
Fry green corn with half butter
and half bacon grease. Oh, the

Fry mashed potatoes in 1t, and
with one-half butter get that

Grease the tins with it when
baking corn bread.
Let other misguided persons
throw away their bacon grease,
but YOU hang on to it. 1t is 100
per cent pure and wholesome.
Sooner throw away your cream
cry butter than bacon grease.
N. B.-If the bacon is too salty,
before frying let it simmer in the
pan covered with water a few mo-
ments. This will boil out the ex-
cess of salt, which can be poured
off with the water. You will lose
no grease. If bacon or bacon
grease sticks to the pan, 1t is a
sign 1t is too salty.

THE NEST EGG
BY Stuart ID. Stone.

AS soon as the moonbeamy,
rose-leaved honeymoon was over
Mr.. Atterbury brought home one
of those miniature lighthouse
banks in which the coins are piled
slowly up the red, iron tower un.
til the top is reached, when the
precious contents are taken to the
big, grilled, sure-enough bank
upon the corner.
Here goes for a nest egg
dear" he remarked, dropping in
50-cent piece. "To provide for
the rainy day which l hope may
never come"
Mrs. Atterbury nodded. 81 sup
pose we ought to economic, "
she agreed, with sigh. II was
intending to buy the new novel by
the author of The Pink Princess,
but I'll put the dollar-eight In
the bank instead"
That was the beginning of the
Atterbury's rainy-day nest egg
The following day Mr.. Atterbury
purchased three scent cigars in
stead of the 10-cent Havanas
he had been accustomed to, and
deposited the Is cents thus saved
in the bank of the red iron tower.
Mrs. Atterbury, not to be outdone,
deprived herself of the violet
cologne water she had wanted,
and put rs cents in the light
house treasury. By the end of
the week the toy bank contained
1915.
Then Atterbury looked up at
his wife and remarked, with some
hesitation: 'If we could let
Bridget go, dear, we'd soon have
the bank full"
Mrs. Atterbury demurred, but
was finally won over, and they
placed the first weeks savings in
to the greedy red tower. Mrs. At
terbury, in the enthusiasm that
resulted, resolved to do without
the spring chicken hey had plan
ned for dinner, and rs cents was
placed in the red treasure tower.
The next week Atterbury, after
sitting silent for half an hour,
pointed out the handsome sum
that could be saved monthly by
taking a cheaper apartment.
II think this is going a little
too far, DEAR" Mrs. Atterbury
frowned; but in the end the vora-
cious red tower triumphed; and
Mrs. Atterbury renowned the
projected visit to the grand
opera. 1t was necessary to take
the red tower to the big bank next
day.
The filling of the red iron
tower became commanding pas
sion with Atterburys. Time after
time 1t was filled and taken to
the big bank on the corner. Sac
rifice after sacrifice was made
Atterbury walked to the office,
gave up smoking, bought shoddy
clothes, cut off the donations to
the pastor. shaved himself. Mrs.
Atterbury did the family wash
ing, made framework to be sold
at absurdly low prices, ceased to
visit the folks In the distant home,
and worried her beautiful COM
plexion into crowsfeet and
wrinkles. AS the voracious rel
tower filled and refilled, the At
terburys became sullen and rel
eliminating.
