STIR LOYAL SCOTS
Scores of Passersby Halt at
Eagles Clubhouse.

Scores Of passersty halted last night
in front Of Eagles Hall and heard the
strains Of a bagpipe when a highland
ladeie just from his native heath, stirred
the souls Of a host Of Scotlands loyal
sons at a meeting OF the Californian
Club.
The business session was Just con-
eluded. Aud Lang Syne" was sung. and
as the members hummed Lest aud ac-
quaintance be forgot. and never brought
70 mind" a rudy highland laddie arose
and began TO tune his bagpipe as he
walked up and down the floor.
1t was not long before he had tuned Il
to Highland Mary" and as he played
the Scottish lay a score Of faces smiled
approvingly and twice as many hands
voiced their approval. Soon MS Scottish
heart caught the spirit Of Banks
O. Doom" and II sounded as though a
thousand instruments were playing in
sweet unison.
The following persons were admitted
into the secrets OF the clans: William
Smith, James Anderson. and George KAY.

OF course. her jealous little sisters
DO not particularly care for her. They
look at her 'asksnce and askew; they
shove their noses on a line with the
north star and say that she IS really too
forward. But that doesn't pull any
pickets of her fence. She not only has
the winsome way. but looks good in any

Sometimes, in sitting in a romantic nook
with the popular girl, you don't wallop
Satan hard enough TO keep him in the
background. and the first thing you know
you have kissed her on the right cheek.
Does she get up in a hun and hustle for

At she list monthly meeting the Asso-
ciatiC; Of Oldest Inhabitants ordered
that railing be placed along the stair
way 70 their headquarters at Old Union
r. pe House, Nineteenth and II streets
orthwest.
When they met again last night they
found their order had been carried out
Just a trife too zealously. for there were
two brand new ratings along the steep
steps instend OF one.
One was an iron rail-. ordered by the
standing committee on building, and the
other a neat wooden rail placed against
the wall by order OF a special committee
appointed by President Theodore W.
Noyes
Hardly had the Oldest inhabitants been
called 10 order when some one asked the
chair who had blundered The debate
that followed consumed an hour and
half. and stirred the members 10 more
fiery eloquence than has been displayed
at any former meeting.
Two bills, one for the iron rail and the
other for the wooden one. were placed
before the house for approval by the
respective committees. President Moves
placed a motion before the house for an
appropriation covering both. It was
finally carried but not before the respec-
tive committeeman had heatedly ex-
planned their sides OF the case.
Each thought it had the authority 10
place the Orie's and the two ratings
were up before any one knew It. One
was placed just above the other. They
will be allowed 10 stay.
The association disposed OF considerable
routine business. and discussion OF the
proposed new home Of the organization
went over until the next meeting. There
was large attendance.

Quite decided novelty has been sprung

Owing to the perfection in the screen and

OF the tables are out Of doors and in plain

1he care Of Inc RefrIaera.or.

Nothing cal. be more dangerous to
the health Of household than re-
frigerator carelessly kept.
One of the first essentials is TO see
that the drain pipe is not connected
with the house drain, because Of the
possibility that sewer gas night come
up the waste pipe into the refrigera-
tor. At any. event 1t IS not desirable
to have the food supply connected
with the house drain.
The refrigerator should be we'll
cleansed once a week and oftener in
hot weather. Strong ammonia water
is good to use for the cleaning. then
rinse and wipe dry. One of the prop
critics of good refrigerator is perfect
dryness. Any food with a strong odor
should be kept from the company of
milk and butter. A few bananas will
ruin the flavor Of jar Of butter In
a few hours. pH
Charcoal or piece Of dry lime II
kept in the food compartment will
absorb odors and impurities. Keep
milk and butter closely covered SO
that the flavor may not be lost or
changed.
