HAVING FUN WITH A BANKER
Practical Joke That Doubtless Was | More Appreciated by the Player
 Than the Victim.

Councilman r. A. Drew is fond of playing practical jokes on William H. Lee. president of the Merchandise clede National bank. MT. Drew was for years director in MT Lees bank.
 While the bankers were waging their recent war upon prohibition, MT. Drew late one night rang up Mir. Lee at his home and represented that he was reporter assigned to get MT. Lees views on the situation.
 MT. Lee complained somewhat bit terly on being called out of bed at that hour of night to give an interview, but finally got warmed up to the subject and for 30 minutes pictured the deso- lation that would result in St. Louis if Missouri went dry.
 Let me see,' said MT. Drew at the conclusion of the interview. you are MT. William H. Lee, whisky man, aren't you?"
 "No," snapped MT. Lee, T am Mir. William H. Lee, the banker"
 "Oh," said MT. Drew, apologetically, T am very sorry, but l wanted to talk to MT. Lee the whisky expert, and not Mir Lee the financier"
 MT Drew hung up the receiver be fore the explosion occurred on the other end of the wire-St Louis Post Dispatch.

Suggestion for the Diner.

The dining room is the gourmet's theater, the table his stage"
 We should eat to live not live to eat"
 It has ceased to be good form to surround the plate with an array of spoons, forks and knives to embarrass the diner There are other ways of exhibiting the family plate.
 Never have a centerpiece so large that 1t obstructs the view
 A simply garnished dish is in much better taste than one much decor ated.
 Elaboration does not signify real el- egance in table decoration any more than in other things.
 All the appointments of the table should be placed with care and exact ness, nothing repays one more for time spent as the haphazard placing of one dish will spoil the whole effect of an otherwise beautiful table.

THE VERY SOUL OF TRAGEDY
Tears from the Eyes of Craven Image.

Some miscreant, unresponsiye to the beauties of nature and of the sweet charm evoked by the combination Of two friends, a starry sky and broad expanse of moonlit water some rank materialist whose phlegmatic disposi- tion was never stirred at a philan thropic act, some petty seeker afte1 gain, some rogue, has stolen the broad comfortable bench so fittingly placet on the Mulberry street wharf by Harry J. Arnold and Robert King. At least the bench has disappeared, and all that meets ones eyes upon the green sward are the two upright posts that supported the back of the seat. No more can lovesick youth stray to it's soothing recesses and gaze upon the silvery moon. regent of the night, fair. No more, alas, can betrothed pair seek it's secrecy and drink the loyelight from each others eyes, silent but for the words their souls speak through their optics. Again, alas, no more can melancholy philosopher, dis gusted with the ways of men, mean. der to its sequestered place and find companionship only in the placid, smooth running stream and the limit less universe above. In short, all the pleasures derived from this conve nience are gone, and we will here after be forced to stand or to sit O the edge of the wharf and let our fee dangle.-BriStol Correspondent Doyles town Republican.

Hot Weather Ideas.

Eat less, drink more, work less. play more, worry less, relax more and be happy. Every one owes it to him. self to take a vacation, change of some sort, if it is only a day in the country, or a day at the park and just do nothing, not even think any more than possible. The children are hap pier for it and so are the older peo- pie.
 Cooling vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers are very refreshing in hot weather. There are so many ways of serving them that one may always have variety. Did you ever serve ripe, sweet tomatoes, sliced, with sugar and cream? If not, try them Many consider them as good as the much prized peach. A sandwich which is both wholesome and appetizing Ai nice for Sunday night lunch, is pre- pared by chopping young green on ions fine, season with a bit of salt. pepper. vinegar, oil and mustard and spread on the slices of buttered bread
 Watermelons and muskmelons are the ideal fruit for hot weather as they supply the water so much needed in the body.
 A delicious manner of serving muskmelons is to chill thoroughly and after removing the seeds add bit of lemon juice. This bring out the fla vor. Muskmelons are nice cut in cubes, sprinkled with sugar and lem on juice. to be served as a sauce for supper.
 When serving ice cream the service may be made more attractive and ap- pet1zing if spoonful of preserved fruit like strawberries or pineapple be added to each dish. With chopped nuts this makes the popular sundae.

A Rainy Day and It's Opportunities

A Rainy Day and It's Opportunities.
 An old-fashioned rainy day is a splendid time to begin on those odd things that we have put off from day to day. AS one is apt to be free from interruptions a long day of accom- plishment will be the result. In the kitchen prepare some flour and lard for pastry, put it in a fruit jar and have it all ready for pie some time when you are in a great rush for dessert. Get pound of raisins, cut with the scissors, ready for use. Crate the ends of the cheese ready for souffies or escalloped dishes. Make a list of recipes that you have been wanting to try. but couldn't find them when you wanted them. After listing them, index them by noting after each in which cook book found This is also good time to plan a weeks menus and look up ways of using left overs.
 Does the ironing board need a new cover? This is a free half-hour to at tend to that
 Write the long neglected letter; read that magazine article; look over your desk and leave it in perfect or der.
 Is there a drawer that was hurriedly disturbed the other day? Spend a little time rearranging it.

Household Hints.

Leave the cover of the saucepan when cooking cabbage or onions and the odor will not penetrate the house
 A good rule to remember in using salt while cooking vegetables is that the root vegetables are improved by it, but peas are toughened.
 In cooking green corn add a tea spoonful of sugar to half dozen ears A little sugar improves peas while cooking.
 Do not depend upon your memory to know your jellies or sauces See that they are well marked when put away.
 Try adding a little shredded green pepper to the creamed chicken. it is great improvement.
 Add a little ammonia to the water when putting a roasting pan to soak: it will then wash very easily.
