A CHILD OF MYSTERY.
Uncanny Mediumistic Antics Credited
 to Wisconsin Boy.

From the New York Times.
 The little village of Mount Horeb, Wis, of which few persons outside of the state probably had heard until recently, has attained a distinct position on the map through the uncanny attributes ac- credited to an 11-year-old boy. He is James Henry Brophy, the grandson of MT and Mrs. Knut Lund of Mount Horeb pioneer of Norwegian settlers in the town of Springdale, where they had lived for 50 years until they moved to Mount Horeb year ago.
 The boy is known variously as .the wonderful child medium" and the Mount Horeb child of mystery" according as the narrator is a believer in or Is skep- tieal of the cult of spiritualism
 The nrst uncanny happening occurred on March y, when, as the boy entered the Kitchen of his home, a snowfall came flying out of space, struck him in the middle of the back and knocked him fiat on the floor There is a wide, open lot on that slde of the house, and there was not d soul in sight outside. Precisely the same thing happened the following day. when the boy came from school The next evening series of events mt the house hold in panic. Cups flew from tha table and broke, a lamp chimney was shattered, and the spool of thread on inc sewing machine began to unreel rapidly O"i 'oiitioh. me boy grand rather became distracted with terror and news of the strange events spread ran idly.

 The next day there was a funeral in the village which the boys mother at- tsnceo' afterward spending the night at the nome of her parents.

Memories of Wise knut' tWise Knut), the hero of BJornsons story of that title, are also recalled.

Dinner Table Diplomacy. l fine InnisuiI1a Herald

President Taft has not forgotten his art as peacemaker. Surely, if ever a company was gathered about a hospita- ble board that comprised explosive elements it was that which met at the White House table by invitation the other night.
 Champ Clark, caucus leader of the House democrats, was there, and op- posite him sat Fitzgerald, the reac- tionary and bolting captain of the Cannon democrats. Gardner of Massa- chusetts intrepid chieftain of the re- publican insurGens was side by side with Dalzel and Payne of the old stand pat" guard.
 |. Cats of Kilkenny have held the record for fighting, but here was an aggregation that under certain cir cumstances could have made the Kill kenny felines look like a session of the peace congress at The Hague.
 And yet all was lovely, for the ex- pansve smile of William Howard Taft beamed over the guests. melting down the walls of separation, and turning the heart of political antagonsm into the warmth of personal good fellow ship.
 Much may be done. by dinner table diplomacy. and undoubtedly the Presi- dent recognizes the value of it. Of course eating the same kind of soup at the same table will not make pro tectionists out of democrats or free traders out of republicans; but it may make all of then more reasonable in tn cir differences, and cannot fail to in- crease the eordiality of their relations with the wise and generous host.

harder than I do without making a tenth as much money. The difference is they do fancy work of one sort or anoth- er while l do plain baking. Even during the hard times when 1t was said nobody was buying, my patrons continued to eat about the same.
 "I go on the cash system entirely. I always explain to my customers that l can't afford d hrst-class bookkeeper and don't believe in having any other, For that reason they pay as I hand them their goods, and there is no need of , sending in bills.

cause they had cheap servants. They were paying their cooks $25 a month and over, with every convenience.
 Now that 1 have my work symtema- tized, 1 begin my morning baking at g o clock sharp. As the majority of the kitchens these days have both coal and a gas range 1 always agree to take the range the regular cook doesn't prefer. l stipulate that 1t shall be in perfect order and cleaned beBre I get there.
 AS a general thing the cook resents or appears to resent my first appearance in her Kitchen Of course, 1t is to my inter- est to make friends with her, for as poor as she may be, I know how the family comfort depends on her.

People will eat five times as much good bread and cake as they do of poor stuff.
 .A.l my regular customers admit that they underestimated the capacity or thelr families and friends when l first came to them There Is seldom either cake or pie left in their pantries from one baking to
  touched loaf of bread but not often
 .'The days I bake at home l often have to refuse orders. l have never found anvbodyH could trust entirely, so would rather refuse an order than be in doubt about filling it with cakes and pies up 10 my standard. l have maid of all Work who assists me to a certain extent, and when I am particularly rushed during the fresh fruit season l have one ana some times two extra women
 They pick and clean the fruit ana do other simple things that at first could trust to my young sons. The boys are growing up now and as l don't care 10 risk having them tied to my apron strings I see that they get work during their school holidays that will bring them into contact with men and lead to their busi- ness training. If one of them was girl I wouldn't have to refuse so many orders for old fashioned strawberry shortcake.

From the New York Sun.

 "During the winter 1 bake cakes and make candies for the Women's Exhange. In the summer l am visiting caterer at a popular suburb of New York;
 The speaker was Southern woman who came to New York F years ago in order to earn her living and educate her four children.
 You see people who go into the eoun- try for the summer have to take about what they can get in the way of ser vantsp she went on. If the average cook can bake cakes in the winter, she certainly doesn't do it in the sumner
 "The reason 1 went to Blanktown Was that a woman who bought my cakes and candies at the exchange said one day while 1 was waiting near the cake coun- ter that her main reason for dreadlng the summer was that she couldn't get any decent sweets to eat without sending into town for them. In the country II was hard to get a decent dessert.
 "As she was leaving the exchange, 1 walked up to her and after explaining that | was the baker of the cake she had ordered, and of the candy she had under her arm, I asked if it might not be wise for her to give me a regular order Tor the summer. She wanted to do 1t, but when We came to discuss the mater both of us agreed that it would be rather hard for her to tell just what she would need so far in advance.
 "She said if I only lived within tele- phone distance she col.id give me regular orders each day in the week. In reply told her that if she would get me enough custom to make it worth while would ha ,,arfeetIv willing to come out for the summer She said she would try, ana 1 said I would think it all out.
 'lt was very pleasant thinking about anything that would enable me to take my children out of town for the hor months. You see we live in cramped apartment on the top floor of an uptown house, and besides the neat ana ouse' there was the noise day and night.
 "When that woman wrote and said she had secured regular orders from three of her friends an knew of house that could be had for a reasonable rent almost jumped for joy. had made up my mind to accept any offer that would pay our living expenses.
 "On talking the matter over with this first patron of mine, I suggested that instead of giving me daily order they should let me come to them twice week for three hours I could use their materials and have the assistance or their cooks and in that way 1t might be more satisfactory and equally cheap.
 "She was willing and so were her three friends. My idea was to get the baking for six families. This would allow me 10 bake for them all twice a week in their own kitchens, and leave me mornings and evenings to keep things in my own home in running order

 After I landed in Blanktown, bag and baggage. one of the women who had en- gagged to have me twice a week decided to rent her place and go elsewhere for the summer. The result was that l only had enough custom to keep me busy four days In the week.
 Hunting about for another customer to take her place, 1 was told on all sides that if I'd have regular baking days they would give me regular orders. There wasn't much in the way of kitchen in my house. but rather than fail in my undertaking l determined to make trial. I let it be known that two days in the week I'd bake to order.
 'aThe second week 1 had as much as I could do The third week l was sorry l had pledged myself to bake in the homes of my first patrons They were paying me only at the rate of $3 day, while baking at home was bringing me in three times as much As l believe in sticking to en- agreements. l stuck to mine without let ting on about losing money.
 "The following summer l was able to get better house, but when 1 informed my old customers that I would no longer bake in their kitchens they all raised a row They were willing to pay me almost any price, but wouldn't agree to eat my cakes and pies unless I did bake them in their own homes.
 "As they had been the means of giving me my start, 1 made a compromise. l agreed to bake for them for the same length of time twice each week for dou- ble the money. It is really cheaper for. them even at that price
 ..All of them have large. families and entertain extensively for persons of their means Now it is much cheaper to pay l
