To Maize Candy Fondant.


Fondant lis the basis Of all good
candles and IT is easily made. In
making candy at home 1t Is advis-
able to prepare little at time.
Two cups or granulated sugar and
one-half cup of water, placed In
saucepan and cooked until 1t threads,
is the simple means of making this
fondant dough 1t must not be dis
turbed during the process OF cooking,
nor must 1t be too rapidly cooked,
AS 1t decreases In bulk, little gran
ules of sugar will adhere to the sides
Of the pan: wipe them off with a
cloth on knife blade Test by put
ting a teaspoonful Of syrup in ice
cold water When Il forms thick
wax. pour it out upon a buttered
plate, add flavor and coloring. If the
latter is esired, and sprinkle over the
top one-fourth teaspoonful Of cream
of tartar. This makes 1t form, pre-
vents 1t from returning to sugar and
lightens the candy Beat it with a
silver fork until It forms a white
creamy mass, then dip the finger tips
into butter, take UP the candy and
work 1t as you would pie dough. If
it crumbles, 1t has cooked too long
and 1t is useless to attempt candy
making with 1t. II 1t Is like dough,
it can be kept In wet cloth for
several days and made into cubes,
balls and other shapes as desired DO
not use too much coloring. After
one has learned the rudiments of
making fondant, finer candles can be
made by the addition Of citron, chop
ped raisins, currants, orange peel and
the like. Candied cherries, almonds,
English walnuts, dates, figs, pecans
and peanuts are used to fill candy
balls or decorate fancy shaped pieces.
Freshly popped corn, II run through
food chopper and mixed with
ground peanuts, Is very dainty when
covered with brown fudge. Put the
nuts and pop corn In creased pan,
pour the fudge over It and leave UNI

heavy knife. When cold it can be
broken into squares. A good candy
for present is made Of fondant in
which chopped raisins. currants and
English walnuts are mixed, the lat

to gathering and writing general

Enqllsh Sparrow Club,

In Essex, England, the Elsenham
Sparrow club flourishes. 1t holds q
meeting and dinner once year, at
which time the members give an ac-
count Of their efforts toward keeping
down the sparrow pest. Its president,
Walter Gilbey. describes its work as
follows.
All the farmers and most of those
who have gardens In the parish,
which covers 1880 acres, and some
tenants OF neighboring farms belong
to the club, which was established
seventeen years ago. The rules are
very simple: Each member under
takes to kill one sparrow for each
acre of his holding between Septem-
Der ! and May / and sends the heads
to the local innkeeper, who keeps a
record Of them. If the members tai
ly falls short OF the total he ought to
send he is fined Id. for each head
lacking, the money going to a fund
which Is spent In refreshments at the
annual supper Of the club held al the
inn. The sum raised By fines, how
ever, is, am informed, practically
nil
1.-TWO sparrows an acre were killed
annually during the first two or three
years OF the clubs existence, and the
average number Of heads now sent in
is about 1900 year In addition the
members kill large number Of
young sparrows during the breeding
season, but of these no record is
kept. FOREST and Stream.

simply not tolerated either in BITS

a fat woman pass them on the street

They do not mean to be nnkind or

Ia man to dislike fat on a woman.
Where fat shows the most there is
where It must be removed and ar

charms Of woman and her mgliness

Arrested for Forgery.

Hickman, KY, Sept. Go. L.
Wigs a resident of this city, and q
well known shoe salesman, was arrested
in St. Louis few days ago by Detec'
tives Kenna and Ferie on charge OF
embezzlement and forgery, made by a
business man of this city. Sheriff
Goalder Johnson went to St. Louis after
Wigs and returned here with him
Monday In default of bond he was
placed in the county jail to await trial,
which will be had at the Fulton County
Circuit Court here the third Monday of
this month. Mr.. Wigs returned with
out requisition papers, and claims that
he will be able to explain everything.
There seems to be considerable worth
less paper along his trail OF the past few
days. 1t is alleged that among other
things he drew a check on the Washing
ton Bank of St. Louis payable to him
self for 81 ,095 10 and signed the name
Hamburger Bros, to it-a shoe firm
which he has been representing. Being
unable to cash the check, he got $50
from Hickman man and advanced the
check as security.
T. N. Threlkeld, of Cairo, ILL.,, is one
of the last and least compliments. He
writes that Mr.. Wigs got So from him,
giving him check on Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank of Hickman The check
was returned to him marked No
Funds.
Other rumors would indicate that the
Hamburger Shoe Company will come up
about 5000 or $500 short-a St. Louis
firm, and it would seem that Wigs is
wanted worse in Missouri than Ken
lucky Other charges are coming in,
and to what extent he is involved will
not be known until the matter is given
legal sitting
