LIBERAL AND HONEST SUNDAYS
New York World

The refusal Of the conference OF
clergymen To- countenanoe Sunday evo-
ming vaudeville was not unexpected. TO
look for ministerial Endorsement of q
liberal Sunday I'm the present state
81 clerical opinion is eXacting too much
OF de0omlnatioual tolerance. Yet some
surprise may ba felt at the ruling of
the presiding officer shutting Off DR.
cussiOn OF the resolutions which We're
adopted opposing without distinction
tho legislative bills which authorize
theatrical and other performances on
Sunday. Was there apprehension that
the sentiment OF the meeting might not
prove unanimous. or that the Views OF
the minority would provoke debate? II
the ministers have nothing 10 fear from

ance 70 is not clear why they should

ters az the same time rejected the APP
peal Of Chairman Farr Of the Presby-

tudo taken by Mr.. Farr stands. i'm spite

Japanese story rclIers.

The professional story teller is a
good deal of an artist in his way. He
knows how to select or originate
short, popular tales, and how to re-
late them in dramatic fashion. The
lowest class OF story tellers you will
find seated on the street-corners with
a crowd of coolies around them. The
higher class are formed into guilds,
and these are hired to go to private
parties to amuse the guests. Some
times they will be in demand at two
or three houses in one evening, thus
picking up several dollars. Unless he
can earn his living by his recitals, the
teller cannot become a member of the
guild. Transitions from English
tales are row extremely popular with
the japanese,

A gentleman one day noticed a hun
gry-looking dog provling round his
yard, and struck by the poor brutes
famished appearance, he fetched a
large bone and by no means a bare
one, which he threw to the four-footed
vagabond. 1t was eaxctly twelve
o'clock when the bone was given and
carried off.
The giver thought no more of the
matter, but evidently the dog did, for
on the following day at the same hour
he made his appearance, with an ex
pectant look about him which told
that he hoped for a further contribu.
ton.
Amused at the effort to establish
himself as an out-pensioner, and de
sirous of finding out whether the dog
arrival at this particular time was O
mere chance, the gentleman gave him
a second supply of food.
Punctual to time, the dog presented
himself on the third, looking even
more confident than before. He was
duly fed, and for a great length OF
time this self-elected pensioner made
his daily appearance at his patrons
door with notable punctuality.
One is led to wonder whether the
dog may have regulated his own move,
ments by observing those of some In,
diyidual in going to and from his
work, and whether when the four.
footed animal was few minutes late
It might be because the birc vas un.
punctual or his clock slow.

A Child In a Subway Train Who crlst
Once Too Often.

0iN"~ wv OANNNts
An italian with his wife and two
little children got into a New York
subway train bound uptown. There
were seats enough, so the wife with
one child in arms sat down. The
man, carrying the other infant, pre-
pared to take seat
The moment he sat down the little
girl In his arms set up a cry. She
wouldn't stop until the man got up.
For time, as long as he remained
standing. she was quiet. Tlne moment
he started again to be seated she
walled again.
So he had to remain standing. This
child then reached for the cord by
which the signals are given from car
to car. II was too high above her
head. So she cried again.
The father tried to divert her at.
tention to the straps as beahg more
worthy OF her notice. But she wouldn't
be appeased. What was he to do?
soon answered. He turned the baby
over his knee as he sat down firmly
and gave her something to cry for.
A shocked look came over that little
sirps fJce and then, after few last
howls, she was very silent.
Her father sat there with a look az

Best of Kitchen Bououets.

A noted COOK gives the following
as the best of all kitchen bouquets:
Take one onion, one celery root,
one carrot. one sweet potato. one
parsnip, one red pepper, one snalIot
and from one to four Glove garlics,
according to taste. Remove the
seeds from the pepper, scrape the
carrot and 0arsnip, peel the onion
and potato, and chop all the vege-
tables very small Mix with them
large bay-leaves and a fourth of a
teaspoonful of cloves, mace, cinna-
mon and ailspice; many cooks pre-
fer to omit the cinnamon. Mix all
together and season with a teaspoon
fui Of salt and nalf a teaspoonful of
white pepper. Put a layer of the
vegetables in the bottom of a sauce
pan, sprinkle well with brown sugar,
then add another layer of vegetables
and another of sugar. Proceed in
this way until all are used. Put in
q quick oven; when they have baked
to . rich brown add half a cupful of
cold water, and simmer and stir on
to. Of the stove until a rich brown
syrup has formed; it will require fif-
teen or twenty minutes. Strain off
the syrup and bottle, corking it
tightly. Keep in a cool place. A
very little of this added to soups,
stews or sauces will give richness s
both in color and favor.-Mary Fos-

Women as MAYORS.

America had women as mayors be-
fore England, Australia or even New
Zealand. In the four States where
women have full suffrage It is not
rare for women to be elected as may
ors in small cities and give good ser
vice. A woman was mayor of Gaylor,
Kan, for two terms and declined q
third election. She RSided herself on
the fact that more miles Of sidewalk
were laid in her administration than
in that of any previous mayor. Her
husband always expressed himself as
pleased that she should hold the Office,
and even her worst enemies never
said that she neglected her children
or the duties Of her household. The
Office kept her busy about an hour
each day.
