Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Sausage Days.

From the Columbus, o., State Journal
These are the days for sausage
There is no use for a person to stick
up his nose at sausage, for sausage is
good when it is made right. 1t is the
response of the food world to the
polar breeze that blows through the
morning. It is as sweet as a plate Of
strawberries on mild June day. But
It must be made right. Good sausage
is an art product. 1t is made up Of
judgment, taste and skill. 1t is a
combination of ingredients that cor
relate with one another as the fra
GRANGE and the blush Of the rose. The
butcher doesn't understand this.
Generally he throws in some scraps
and odds and ends. and especially the
odds, dabs on some salt, pepper and
sage, grinds it out, and the confiding
customer buys it because it it sau-
sage. He doesn't like it very WE'LL but
he eats it. and everything goes.
The other day we saw customer in
a meatshop direct the making of his
own sausage. He selected the meat,
simon-pure cuts off the best parts, had
it ground, and took it home to season
1t there. That man knows how to take
care of himself. He knows art from
q bulls foot. He appreciates the true
sentiment Of sausage

GODIIKENESS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Cherry, Illinois
That date line was a familiar one to
readers of the newspapers a few weeks
ago and associated in the public mind
with sickening stories Of the mine dis
aster.
But
Along with the sordid horror of it
all-the deaths in the passages by suf-
location, by fire, by drowning, by star
yation-was the record Of the fine, ev-
eryday heroism that always comes up
permost in such crises.
Who were these miners?
Well, most Of them were foreigners
or naturalized Americans, and they
were rough and uncouth. Perhaps you
thought Of them as hundreds of poor
human rats penned in the muck of
the mine, singed to their death by the
fires.
Also
The men who worked at the shaft
on top and risked their lives in the
mine levels-firemen, miners, work
men-were men rough on the outside
Of them.
Rough only on the outside!
Did you read about these strong but
tender hearted men who made rescue
dashes, fighting fires, attacking barri-
cades. until they fell exhausted. in Or
der to restore the burned and batter
ed bodies to wives or babes: And of
how some of the early volunteers were
dead when hoisted?
Or
Did you read the diary Of that boy
of twenty-one who calmly told the
story Of each days suffering in that
hell below. closing the last day with a
benediction on his sweetheart?
Or
OF how they found farewell notes in
the pockets Of the dead, which spoke
not Of despair, but Of that "some
sweet day" when they should all meet
again?
Or
Did you read Of those who stood con-
slant guard over the dying miner and
his little water hole"-a depression
in the coal where a few black drops
seeped in-themselves perishing OF
thirst?
What godlikeness in man!
You sometimes doubt it? You see
the seamy side Of things. question
mems motives. see only the littleness
of humans and lose faith.
Turn the shield around.
You will then see the godlikeness in
the commonest man and how it comes
out Of him at the dire need Of his fel-
low.

you just love human beingsY
