Preserved cherries are amongst the
most delicious of all the put-up fruits
and are as serviceable for pies and
puddings as any there are, II one
wishes to extend the cherry flavor in
this way. The cooked cherry is de-
.licious, and considerably less sugar
is required for it than for preserves.
To candy cherries requires good deal
more care than most domestic man
ayers can take, but some think it
worth while, since the produce has
more flavor than those that are ar.
ticIes of merchandise.
To preserve cherries a level meas
ure of sugar to q heaping measure of
cherries is reliable portion. Twenty
to thirty minutes Is about the time
required for cooking them. The old
fashioned long cooking was not neces-
sary and deprived them of their beau

first before adding the cherries slow

Once in a while disconcering per-

TOO MUCH IN FEAR
SAD HAPPENING THAT HAS
soURED MRS. STOREY. 81
Avoidance Of Publicity in This Case
= Was costly-And, Of Course,
i ~5s MIR. Storey Says 81 Told II
sF u zsa You So" '~Sss. ~ y j. 4.

Mrs. Storey's life had been haunted
for years by the fear that some day
she might be called upon to serve as
a witness in court. Her grandmother
was a witness once, and when Mrs.
Storey was little girl she used to
hear all about it. Grandma, it ap-
pears, had been so scared she couldn't
tell the Judge her own name. :.
And" said Mrs. Storey to her hus-
band, IF there is anything more dis
graceful than to be unable to tell your
own name, I'd like to know what it
is."
In order to reduce the possibility Of
such a calamity to q minimum, Mrs.
Storey would walk on with deafened
ears and averted head whenever she
happened to be near a fight or the
scene of an accident. Only the other
day she had occasion to shut her eyes
and ears to the seething crowd around
her. She was waiting in the south
terminal station for 'Mr. Storey, who
had gone around to the baggage room
to check trunk
Presently she became aware that
something exciting was happening
close beside her. Hastily she shut her
eyes and stuck her fingers into her
ears, but before those protective
measures could be accomplished she
learned that a female thief had
snatched handbag which she had
found lying on the floor and was be-
ing pursued by an excited crowd
Not being entirely devoid of the curl
osity of her sex, Mrs. Storey would
have liked to know more, but the old
fear of being detained as a witness
held her inert until her husbands re-
turn. Then she ventured to ask IL
they had caught the thief.
"Yes," said Mr.. Storey, but they
couldn't do anything with her. Every
one was confident the bag didn't be-
long to her, but as nobody appeared
to claim it they had to let her CO."
At that Mrs. Storey opened her eyes.
II am so glad" she said, that it is
all over. l am ready to go now. But
oh, dear me! Where are my purse
and handbag? I had them here a
moment ago. They must have
dropped-ah, wonder"
mo use to wonder now," said Mr..
Storey heartlessly; "of course, the
stolen bag was yours"

The manager sighed inwardly. But
before him were two ills-the anger

member was tiny evil compared
with the anger of his star.

MAKING THE BREAD
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE
REMEMBERED. *a
Good Grade of Flour ls the First Re-
quislte-Quaiity and Quantity
Of Yeast, ETC., Largely
Matter Of Choice.

The flour is the first consideration
In making a loaf of bread. Good flour
should be of a yellowish white tinge,
rather granulated and free from bran.
After selecting the -four the yeast
must be chosen. 1t should be strong,
sweet and pure. What kind it shall
be must depend upon circumstances.
Compressed yeast cakes are conve-
nient, and will do the work much
more quickly than ten times the
amount of homemade or bakers yeast
Indeed, the compressed yeast is al
most indispensable for the quick-rais-
ing process, which is now considered
the ideal method of bread making.
In making the dough the flour may
be moistened with water or milk, or
milk and water. II milk is used, it
should be scalded (not boiled), then
cooled. This is necessary to prevent
souring.
If water is preferred, it should be
boiled and cooled to lukewarm- II
milk and water, pour the boiling wa
ter into the milk. Those who prefer
water declare that it is not only more
economical, but that it preserves the
sweet, nutty taste of the -four, while
those who believe in milk claim that
milk bread Is more tender, nutritious
and agreeable to eye and palate.
A good rule for mixing bread is as
follows:
Put one tablespoonful of butter, one
tablespoonful of lard, one tablespoon
full of sugar and one and one-half tea
spoonfuls Of salt into a large bowl,
pour on one cupful of scalded milk
mixed with one cupful of boiling wa.
ter; when lukewarm add one yeast
to this add five cupfuls Of sifted flour,
then stir until thoroughly mixed, us
ing a knife; add one more cupful OF
-four, mix, and turn on a floe- j board,
leaving clean bowl; knead until mix.
ture is smooth, elastic to touch, and
face. Knead quickly for about fifteen
to twenty minutes. Return to the
bowl, cover with a clean cloth, then
with board or tin cover. Let rise
over night in temperature Of about
65 degrees Fahrenheit
In the morning cut the dough with a
knife, turning over and cutting several
times. The dough may be again
raised, and recut, if not convenient to
share into loaves and biscuit at the
first cutting. Toss on board lightly
f1oured, knead, shape into loaves and
biscHit, fill pans, slightly creased, half
full. Cover, let rise again to double
It's bulk, and bake in a hot oven.
II the oven be too hot the crust will
Drown before the heat has reached the
center and prevent further rising; the
loaf should continue rising for the first
fifteen minutes, when it should begin
to brown and continue browning for
the next twenty minutes. When bread
is done it will not cling to the sides
of the pan. and may be easilys re-
moved-s e Z
Biscuits require more heat than loaf
bread; should continue rising the first
five minutes and begin to brown in
eight mintues. Bread may be brushed
over with melted butter three minutes
before removing from the oven II a
tender crust is desired. This recipe
makes two small loaves, or one double
loaf and pan of biscuit

Albanian Friendships.

There is no country in the world
where friendship is deeper or more
lasting than in Albania. Every man,
almost without exception, has friend
who will stand by him in all circum-
stances, and against legion of enc
mics. If need be. The usual form of
cementing a frienship is for the two
men to cut their arms and mix the
blood, taking an oath at the same
time that nothing but death shall
break the bonds. Instances are com.
mon where a man has suffered death
at the hands of the Turks rather than
ssbetray his friend.

Rape resists drought fairly we'll, but
in regions subject to summer drought
the sowing should take place early
enough to get the plants we'll started
before this psz-::ooda, Or II should be de-
layed until after the drought. During
the prolonged dry period the plants
are often attacked by a kind of plant
louse, which causes them to wilt and
become valueless as forage. Where
rape is depended upon as a chief crop
it is advisable to make several sue
cessive sowings. If a particular crop
comes on too early it may be cut and
thus make the second growth avail
able later.

Tallahassee, FIa.---A great many
people now In Florida are charmed
with the climate during the present
winter season but some have express
ed fear that II they locate here they
would not be able TO stand the eli.
mate OF Florida in the summer time.
The fears OF these people are
groundless. There are thousands OF
people now living In Florida who had
the same ideas when they first came
to Florida and the first year or two
after coming to the state they packed
up and went north for the summer
months. Then, after a while, they
began staying later and later in the
season until, finally, they remained
for the entire summer. Ask these peo-
pie how the climate of Florida in the
summer times compares with the eli.
mate In the vast majority Of the coun-
try.
A little investigation will convince
anyone that Florida is not only al
ideal winter resort but that the sum.
mer months in Florida are far more
pleasant, as a rule, than in many
northern sections OF the county. Pc
ninsula Florida 1uts down between
the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf OF
Mexico, constantly receiving the salt

states in the union. Elevation above

courses Of prevailing winds, the dis
tribution OF rainfall and atmospheric
pressure, all influence climate accord.
