A Delayed Honeymoon.

Most girls who wed desire honey
moon. Others prefer going to their
own home, but here is the woman
who waited II years for a honey
moon. Since the story is true and
sensible, 1t can be passed on to pros
pectives, who probably will have ear
lier honeymoons. A couple were on
boat when the bride-appearing wife
was approached by a womn passen-
ger, who said; "Will you help me
out? My sister and I have made a
bet that you are a bride, or this
mans secord wife" The woman
laughingly replied: "I am neither, so
you both lose your bet. I have been
married IL years. ! have complete
wedding trousseau now and, after
long struggle for a home which we
own, we determined to take this trip.
We are still lovers and have never
regretted for one moment the delay
of our trip"

worse. This is not the way to plant
fine seed. Have the earth spaded
carefully and break the clods into
fine pieces. SCOT is excellent to mix
with flower-bed earth. Sand is also
recommended, because it keeps dirt
from becoming too compact. Hav-
ing raked the bed smooth, take an
old sieve and sift fine rich dirt over
the whole bed. Put your flower
seeds into a pepper box and shake
them evenly over the surface, and do
not attempt to cover the seed with
dirt. Instead, take block or trowel
and press the seed firmly into the
SOIL 1t is best to have the ground
slightly damp. The seeds will sprout
in few days If the weather is fa-
vorable. Larger seeds, such as the
or four o'clock, can be
planted in the same manner. This
makes a smooth flower bed. The
plants come up evenly and fewer will
have to be weeded out.

For Children's Play Hours.

A group of children were sitting
on the curb making mud toys. A
paserby remarked: "You seem to be
happy!" eve are" answered a fat
little girl, "only Marion doesn't make
her people fat enough to stand up"
The visitor then saw row of squat
.ty mud houses, little fat men and
chocolate-drop shaped women. These
children were doing what children
love to do, but what were the parents
thinking of to permit them to get
mud from the street to play with?
Children should have big box of
sand. 1t is clean and will not soil
the clothes. Moulding clay does not
cost much, or that dug from under
the soil in the yard is not dangerous,
perhaps. But that of the street! 1t
recalls Immediately the many cases
of tetanus.

The Modern Version.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the
cupboard
And, to her great joy, found cold
potato.
Did you know there were 500 ways
of cooking potatoes? Yet we see
them served in just four or five
ways. A very tempting dish is made
of potatoes boiled in the skins as
follows: Slice the potatoes or chop
them fine and place them In baking
pan with cup of cooked spaghetti.
Make alternate layers with potato on
top. Cover with milk and sprinkle
grated cheese over the top. Add just
enough butter to season. Bake with
a lid on the pan and do not remove
it until you wish to brown the pota-
toes.
Mashed potatoes are very nice
when mixed with finely chopped
cold meat, rolled into sausage shapes,
and fried in deep fat. Mould cold
mashed potatoes in cones. place each
cone on small rice cake, sprinkle
with cheese and bake in quick oven.
Serve with cream gravy. TO make
the gravy, place large tablespoon
of butter in a saucepan, allow 1t to
boil, blend little flour with 1t, add
just enough cold water to blend flour
and butter, then pour in a cup of
milk and boil until thick gravy
Is formed.

very own when some one speaks IA
vorably Of her efforts. They are
doing this all over the country. 1t
may not be the daily round, but the
ability Is no longer regarded as meni-
al or degrading. Goodness knows
why cooking ever was placed as a
lowly task, when 1t means life itself.
Perhaps one reason for the change
is due to modern improvements not
only in the arrangement of the kitch-

These make the work more a pleas

Thousands of city women belong
to one or more clubs, but women in
smaller towns are less inclined to-
ward these interesting meetings.
There should be no city. town or
hamlet without its band of women
urging civic pride. Through the eff
forts of these women many places
formerly barren spots or ugly are
now the beauty spots of the town.
There is much work to be done. 1t
was woman who made the first
window box, and also woman who
agitated the question of having flow
ers and grass around railroad sta
tions and other unsightly places. Or
ganized women seldom meet deter
mined interference in such projects,
but few women in smaller towns
seem to take this work seriously.

SQUATTERS' RIGHTS
ON NATIONAL FORESTS

Secretary Wilson has just issued
an order providing for a more liberal
treatment of bona fide squatters up
on unsurveyed land which has been
included within national forests since
the time of actual occupancy of the
land by the squatter.
Under the homestead law 1t Is i'm
possible for any one to secure legal
title to unsurveyed public land, but
occupancy pending survey is recog-
nized as giving a prior claim to the
land after survey, under what is
known as "squatters' rights" A
squatter who had, in good faith, taxi
en- possession of piece of national
forest land before the national for
ests were created is not dispossessed
OF his claim by the forest service,
and II he lives upon it and cultiyates
1t until the land has been surveyed
he Is able to get his homestead Just
as though he had settled on any part
OF the unreserved public domain.
But since the passage Of the Act OF
June IL, 1906, which permits the
secretary Of agriculture to list for
settlement land which he finds chief
ly valuable for agriculture, IL has
been possible for squatters to apply
for the listing OF their lands under
this act, and thus to obtain title
prior to the government survey. The
object of the new order Of the Sec
retary is to provide for the listing
of the full amount OF land which the
occupant would receive II he exer-
cised his option Of awaiting the gov
ernment survey, irrespective of
whether or not the entire is culti-
vable, provided the claim is bona
fide and the land is not more valu-
able for It's timber than for agrlcul
ture.
Secretary Wilson's order is as fol-
lows:
"A person who has settled upon
and continuously occupied unsurvey-
ed lands within national forest be-
fore its creation and Is at the pres
ent time occupying such lands in
good faith and is In all respects COM
plying with the homestead law, has
the right to include within the lines
Of his homestead 100 acres after the
land is surveyed Therefore, II the
land is occupied for agricultural pur-
poses ah~ ls not more valuable for
It's timber than for such purposes
and there are no circumstances which

Tides OF the claimant, he should be

Datenting OF such lands under the
Act Of June II, 1906, and the exam

with a view Of listing 100 acres Of
and where possible. The tracts as
listed should conform, 50 far as prac-
icable, to the form Of the public

This is often overlooked and the des-

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few Of
those who have tried it are willing
to use any other. Mrs. f. +. Starchcr,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: II have
never used anything other than

good satisfaction. This remedy con-
tains no opium or other narcotic

DON'T WANT ANY
BROKEN MIGRANTS

Inasmuch as the water depart
ment and the fire department are
the only branches of the city gov
eminent permitted to use fhe n.y.
drants about the city without speci-
fic permission, Superintendent
Lindsay has decided to curtail the
activity of the street department
in this respect. The water officials
have determined to put their foot
down hard on the contractors and
laborers who use wrenches on the
hydrants.
Whenever contractor wants
water to use on street improve
ments, the correct way to get the
right is to ask permission of the
water department. A man will
then be sent out, turn the hydrant
on and install a water-gate, so that
the operation Of the hydrant will
be made perfectly simple. Instead
of applying for permission, some
contractors have been opening the
hydrants themselves, and the con
sequence has been that the caps,
or some other part of the hydrants
have been broken. This prevents
firemen from connecting their hose
to the hydrants and wouK have
very serious results in caS OF a
big fire, where water was Needed
in a hurry. ia 4
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-07-28

These contractors have neglected
in most instances to report any
breakages, and therefore the water
officials have decided to take
stringent action, and deprive any
person who has wrench which
will fit the hydrants of the in
Strument.
One of the members of the de-
partment yesterday watched a
novice workman trying to unscrew
the cap on the hydrant in order to
get some water, The hydrant was
one of those which have been fixed
with a watergate, and all that was
necessary to get water was to turn
the control wheel. But this tyrO
didn't know this and for several
minutes while unscrewing the big
cap stood directly in the way of a
stream of tremendous force, one
hundred pounds pressure. Just as
the last threads were reached, the
man stepped a few inches to one
side and the stream caught him
just on the hip. II he had been
square in front of it, the stream
would have shot him clear across
the road. The official was inclined
to be disappointed at the exhibition
which was only partially success
full. But he took the wrench away.
