lay awake wondering what had caused
the beast to act in this strange way.
BY daylight he decided that some
word said in the presence of the horse
must have been signal for the act
and he proceeded to the barn and re-
peated to the horse, as nearly as pos
sible, what he had said to Alderman
Bud Winters. Nothing worth chroni'
cling happened, and with a sad heart
Rev. Ebenezer harnessed the upright
horse and went his way.
At the corner of Main and Cross
streets he met a large body OF citi'
zens, all much interested, among
whom was Alderman Bud Winters
and resuming the discussion of the
day before, Alderman Winters ex
pressed himself in his usual free and
profane way. In the midst of the dis

he wore a smile that informed one
and all that he felt he had success
fully spoiled the Egyptians and that
he had spoiled them good and hard.
Many were the congratulations he re-
ceived from Uncle Ashdod Clute and
other prominent citizens of Betzville,
and he announced that it was his in
tention to call the horse, hitherto bear
ing the sinful name OF Skeezicks, by
the more appropriate name of Moses.
The next morning Rev. Ebenezer
harnessed Moses and started on one
of his accustomed tours of mercy and
business, since his salary compels him
to peddle watermelons between his
stops at the homes of the sick and
soul-sad, and all went we'll until he
reached Main street. Here he paused
and entered into controversy with
Alderman Bud Winters, on the merits
of free liquor as against the mulct tax,
when, suddenly, Moses arose upon his
hind legs, and stood gracefully bal

against the background OF the Bank
rupt Store and the post office made
one of the pictures that will go down
in the history of Betzville forever.
AS soon as Rev. Ebenezer regained
his composure he examined Moses
and a very superficial examination
proved that Moses was still standing
on his rear legs Nothing that Rev
Ebenezer could do would bring the
horse to any other posture. The horse
seemed to want to stand that way
and so 1t stood that way. II Rev
Ebenezer ever became angry he came
near it then, but whip seemed to dc

When Purdon's Three-Ring Circus
and Intentionally Great Menagerie
was In town about month ago, it
happened to be here on Thursday, and
Rev. Ebenezer was greatly angered
to find that when he opened prayer
meeting that night he had the meeting
entirely to himself and he decided
that as the Egyptians-so to speak
had spoiled his meeting, he would
wreak vengeance on them and spoil
the Egyptians. AS the circus had
moved on to Billingsville that night
Rev. Ebenezer harnessed up his
mare Rebecca, and drove over, and
ON the way over he made up his mind
how he would spoil the Egyptians
Rev Mr. Spillgath is noted in thi.
county as one of the most progressiv;
and slick horse traders on earth, ant

was first made, was cultivated I'm

Popcorn, the chlldren's Favorlte.

What sense of comfort big dish
of popped corn gives us. For the chill
dren, they hail 1t with delight, while
the older members of the circle not
only enjoy the delicious crispness of
the dainty morsels but the memories
of other days and pleasant fireside
parties which It recalls. What child
has not "foored" the parent some
time by the question: What makes
popcorn pop?"
Corn contains oil and moisture in
varying proportions. When heated
this expands, bursting the starch
grains and popping open the kernels
causing the explosion, which we call
popping.
In common corn this oil is not in
such large proportion so that when
heated it only cracks, without explo-
ding when heated.
Sometimes corn that Is too dry will
not pop. To remedy this, pour water
over the corn In the pepper and shake
we'll before heating.
A nice way to pop corn and season
it at the same time is to put 1t into
a dripping pan with small piece of
butter and the needed salt, make a
cover of brown paper, by folding the
corners and fitting and pinning them.
| Then put on a hot stove and shake
| constantly. An iron kettle with tight
cover Is commonly used, but 1t is not
as easy to keep the corn stirring In
that as in the pan
If the corn is popped in pepper the
butter is melted and poured over the
corn in a thin stream, stirring all the
time. Then add the required amount
of salt and 1t is ready to serve.
