GREEN TOMATOES THE BEST
For Frying, the Unrlpe Ones VIII Al
ways Be Found to Give the
Most Satisfaction.

Now that the tomato season is here,
the fact that green tomatoes are more
delicately favored and more delicious
fried than the red ones usually cooked
in that way is worth a word Of re-
minder. Jot it down in the household
new idea book to be tried for break
fast some morning or at luncheon,
with or without meat dish.
Cut into thin slices some large, per-
fectly green specimens (they must not
have begun to show any sign of ripen-
ing, and those freshly pulled are real
ly the best for the dish), sprinkle with
salt and dip in cornmeal until COW
cred. Saute in little butter until
nice brown. Cover the frying pan
throughout the cooking process to
keep the tomatoes tender. They may
be brought to table with the accom-
paniment of brown sauce or plain.

THE lone policeman who stands
guard by the District building in
Washington was making his rounds
placidly when there dawned upon his
Mortified mind the fact that horse
was standing with his fore feet upon
the District buildings own sidewalk.
The horse was hitched to two
seated surrey. Upon a seat of the
surrey sat a gentleman with a broad
black hat.
Get that horse off the sidewalk"
said the policeman.
IF you want this horse to get. Off
that sidewalk you put him off your
SELF you" The remainder of the
sentence was more in the way of ex-
pletive than exp,pnation.
You better ehut up and get that
horse where 1t belongs" the police

her eyes with her hand. There goes

Her husband laughed knowingly.
Not Hiram Skinfiint, Mandy. He'll
go down to Jed Weatherby's general
store and order pound of granulated
sugar. Then while Jed is looking an
other way he'll drop the ant among

get Jed to throw in two or three
raisins and yeast cake. You don't

A STORY told at police headquarters
"A by Clarence Davis of Glenallen,
Va, recalled to older members of the
force the day when confidence men
had full sway here. The Virginian
related that three men had inveigled
him into matching twenty-five-cent
pieces in a room at the Raleigh hotel,
and that they had disappeared, one of
them taking SASS belonging to him.
When Davis reached the city and
he registered at a hotel near John
MARSHALL place and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., he was seated on the coping at
the northwest corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and 7th street when a strang-
or spoke to him. He did not hesitate
to tell the stranger he was from near
Richmond, and the latter said he was
acquainted with people in Richmond.
The Virginian informed the strang-
er that he was thinking of going to
New York, and that he was brick
layer by trade.
$50 am bricklayer," the stranger
said, land I'm out of work"

the procession reached the corner OF
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gem

when he. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col

taken in a White Gasoline Truck to a

In the end the policeman hoped into

The southern gentleman kept 1t go

shouted.

FIRE T,o nor, w.. n.sses around
among amateur firefighters OF the gov
ernment printing Office one afternoon
recently The fire brigade is said to
consist of about a dozen laborers.
Really there was no fire about the
big printing office, save In the engine
room furnaces and under the smelling
pots.
Some one high in authority at the
printery had read a newspaper ac-
count of a disastrous confiagration in
the west. The story of the blaze put
the notion in his head to resurrect
general order" of several years
standing which provides for fire drill
at intervals.
1t was near to the hour for closing
down "the works." 4:30 o'clock, when
the edict went forth that the fire bri-
gade was to assemble quickly and
from the new building attack an i'm

FOR WINTER SUPPER TABLE
Preserved Cherries One Of the Best
and Most Delicious Of Put

There Is an ancient superstition that
cherries and milk are a combination
that will insure speedy death. There

tortured with most terrible uncer-
tainty when, surreptitiously, they have
gorged themselves with the robins
perquisite or the later coming choke
cherries. and have then had bread and
milk presented to them as their sole
choice OF evening meal. From feel
ing OF wish-I-dared to what-dol-care.
they have proceeded to gather the
fruit of hidden branches. possessed
with that same eerie uncertainty about
the future which a boy may have
when he courts death with giant
frecracker. Mothers have suffered
from frightful apprehensions in cher
ry time.
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, If one
wishes to extend the cherry flavor in
this way. The cooked cherry is de-
licious, and considerably less sugar
is required for 1t than for preserves.
To candy cherries requires a 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
ticles of merchandise.
To preserve cherries a level meas
ure of sugar to 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
tiful color. Cook and skim the sugar
first before adding the cherries slow

his money and returned the next day.
The red-haifed man and friend met
them and the quartet went to the ho-

A game of matching quarters was
INDUCED in and Davis lost what silver

for him to get out his roll of bills. II

was pretending he was looking for a
man to cash it that those in the party

This time it is the old Barnes hotel.
which has stood on South Washington
street nearly fifty years. The hotel
was sold yesterday by the owner Mrs.
Martha A. Barnes, to Il. H. Lundy 1t
is the intention of Mr.. Lundy to tear
down the old hostelry immediately
and erect a fine new building, To be
occupied by the EIdora Granite Works,
thus adding another to the long list
!of improvements that are being made
in Eldora this summer.
The Barnes hotel was tho second
ever built in Eldora. the old Edging-
ton being the first. and has sheltered
more of the old settlers of Eldora and
Hardin county and the immediate Vi
entity than perhaps any other hosiery
for miles around. The building is of
wood and is now much the worse for
wear, so that it does not present an
over pleasing appearance to the eye,
but this fact has been overlooked when
it is remembered that the history of
Eldora and the history of the Barnes
house are nearly one and the same.
