her life had been a failure because she
had married tall, thin man. when the
type of her lifelong choice was a ro-

not an analytic mind. She couldn't tell
why this was true. She had never been
apt at giving reasons She knew that
life had been TO her merely dull and

tie wrong choice. The fires of romance
had died out of her eyes. A widow, the

Legend of Bakers Dozen.
The legend of how the bakers dozen
originated forms one of the pretty
stories of the baking trade Jean Pie
terson Van Amsterdam kept a bake
shop He was afraid of evil spirits and
Kept bottle of another kind of spirits
by his side TO forfend him against ex-
pected attacks In 1854, while contem-
plating the profits he had made during
the holiday season, a shrin feminine
voice demanded a dozen New Years
cookies. He gave her a dozen. She
demanded one more. saying that she
wanted dozen, TO which he replied
that she would have to go ito the
duyvn and ged it, She took him at
his word, and from that time it seemed
that he was bewitched. for his cakes
were stolen, his bread was so light that
it went up the chimney. or so heavy it
went through the oven, his wife be-
came deaf, his children went wild. and
his trade went elsewhere. Three times
the bag returned TO renew the spell.
Then the baker appealed TO St Nicholas
and was admOnished to be more gener-
Gus in the future. A fourth time the
bag returned and demanded the extra
cake She got it and exclaimed that
the spell was broken, and that from
that time hencefOrth a dozen would be

ginger effigy of St Nicholas she made
the astonished Dutchman lay his finger
upon it and swear TO give more liberal
measure in the future. Since that time
IS mas ever been called a bakers dozen.
Appeal for Better Bread
The hOusekeepers Of the country are
appealing to the bakers to make better
bread, cakes and pies. They assert that
the servant problem is such a serious
one today that just as soon as the
bakers are able to turn out products
home, and sell them at a reasonable
pastry from the baker. In a public
address one of the leading authorities
on housekeeping economies declared
that the hOusekeeper'S extremity is the
bakers opportunity. and many of the
bakers are inclined TO act on this sug-
gestiOn, so that one may yet see the day
when the pies my mother used to
make Will be on sale in the bake shop

THE TENT PREACHERS TALK
FL Paso, Tex, Sept. u, 1910.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
I am a stranger in your wonderful
city and an ardent friend of the Young
Mems Christian Association, no matter
where it is located. 1 happened by
chance to hear evangelist Heads talk
on Sunday night last when. in particu-
lar, he denounced and accused the local
association Of encouraging gambling"
because of the presence of pool tables
and bowling alleys in the building.
L wish to congratulate heartily the
stand which your estimabIe paper has
taken upon this matter The caustfc
comments, which this tent preachers
wholly unnecessary and narrow minded
remarks have called forth, are well de-
served in every way In fact 1 am
much surprised, being a Texan, that
stronger talk has not come from those
who have felt the sting of this mans
"pOintless pyrOtechnics"
If Texas had more newspapers who
are as big and as broad as your honor
able sheet and less so called evange-
lists who are as small and as narrow
as this tent preacher, Christianity in
Texas would be far better off and prog
ress even faster than il is at this pres
ent time.
