WHAT BECAME OF THE BUTTON
Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved
Her to Be True Daughter
of Eve.

Loie Fuller the noted dancer, told
at luncheon story about her class
of dancing children.
II gave the children a Christmas
party last year." she said, ''and when
the pudding came on said to them:
Il have put in this pudding coin,
a little china doll and button. Who
ever gets the coin will be rich.
Whoever gets the doll will be married
before the year is out. But whoever
gets the button will be an old maid
We'll, the pudding disappeared rap
idly, and the little girls soon found
the coin and the china doll. But the
button did not turn up. No one got
the button. This amazed me.
THAT night said to my favorite
little girl, as we sat alone by the fire
in my room:
"T can't understand what became
of that button. ! put it in the pudding
myself
"Ill tell you,' the little girl con
fessed, turning rosy with confusion. ]

everybody to laugh at me-tho

HAVE THE POTATOES CLEAN
Most important Point That Seems TO
Be All Too Frequently Over
looked by Cook.

Beginners in cookery wonder why
the homely paddles of the dinner
course SO frequently turn black and
look unappetizing without apparent
cause.
This is. because they are boiled i'm
mediately after peeling Potatoes,
particularly the mid-season tubers
which we have to contend with before
the arrival of the new crop, should be
peeled at least a couple of hours be-
fore they are to be cooked, and should
be allowed to Stand in a pan of cold
water during that time.
Scrub thoroughly before peeling, and
rinse well afterward. Then let them
stand in more fresh, cold water.
The scum which is seen to rise on
many pot of boiling potatoes Is prin-
cipally dust and dirt which has not
been thoroughly washed away.
A well-cooked - boiled or baked 80
potato is rara avis. One of the prin-
cipaI points of failure is not having
them perfectly clean.

MEAL THAT ALL MAY ENJOY
IL These EdibIes Are Prepared for
Late Supper No Bad Results
Will Follow.

The late supper is as often a sor-
row as a pleasure. If the edlbles and
drinks are cold it will lie heavy on
nine stomachs though the tenth es-
eapes. But though the good hostess
may know this perfectly well there is
the other nut to crack: What are the
correct hot things to serve which are
not too expensive and bothersome?
The following simple recipes will
solve this problem and prove them
selves very acceptable for any little
evening entertainments:
Nulled Ale or Cider.-f the previ-
Gus recipe appeals to the ladies, this
one will seem to men folks the right
thing: With two quarts of old Eng
lish ale put half a lemon peel and
three cloves and bring the concoction
to boil in a porcelain-lined vessel.
Or, with an equal amount of cider put
several baked apples, three or four
cloves, and two bay leaves. Proper
accomplishments to either drink would
be hot toast sandwiches made of
white bread, with a filling of grilled
ham or bacon put between shreds of
tender lettuce. A hot salad made OF
newly boiled white potatoes, seasoned
with splinters of broiled red herring
would likewise flank either delicious
| ly. If the whole dried herring cannot
| be found, get the ones in jars OIL
| boxes land soak them for an hour be
fore broiling. If they are sauteed IL
a pan with a little butter, the her
| rings would have an even more deli

A chlId,s DEVELOPMENT.

The development of a child's char
acter should not be left to the mother
alone. It needs the directing influence
of the mother. the strengthening in
fiuence of the father. Often a child's
nature, possibilities and growth are
unknown and unmatched by his father.
It is something he does not under
stand, because he does not study 1t.

Political Complexion Of the
Election Boards is Watched
palladium Specially

palladium Specially
Indianapolis. Aug. s. Some Inter
esting figures have been prepared here
showing the political complexion of
the election boards in all of the pre-
cincts in all Of the counties in the
state for the coming fall election. and
they are being studied with much in
terest by the politicians who hold to
the opinion that control Of the election
boards by one or the other political
parties is important
The election board in a precinct has
to decide all questions of the right of
a man to vote and it also decides on
the validity of all votes cast-whether
they are legal or illegal. The board
receives and counts the ballots and
makes the returns to the county can
vassing board. Therefore, it has al
ways been held by politicians that con-
troll of the election boards was of the
utmost importance especially in coun-
ties and precincts where the vote is
close and the majorities small.
missioners is composed of one demo
crat and one republican and the coun-
ty clerk. Thus, il the county clerk is
democrat the board becomes demo-
cratic. II he is republican the board
will be republican. The precinct cleo
ton boards are appointed by the coun-
ty commissioners. A democratic board
oil In No. ~He
and republican commissioners make
up republican boards. Thus the com
missioners play an important part also
in the matter Of election boards.
In a precinct in which a township
trustee resides he is the ispector on
the election board. There are 1917
townships in the state and 1O17 trus
tees will be inspectors. There is a
total of 317S voting precincts in the
state. OF the trustees go are demo-
Gratis, 4O6 republicans, and one prohi-
bitionist, the latter in Penn township,
Parke county. In the Bits precincts
there will be 1852 democrats. 1925 re
publicans and one prohibitionist.
Fifty-five county boards Of commits
sioners are democratic and 81 republi-
can. In Twenty-Five counties there
are no republican commissioners and
in 33 there are no democratic mem
bers on the boards. OF the ~ county
clerks there are Al democrats and 81
republicans.

fourteen counties. a total of 443 ma.
