Baked fish. by placing directly on

greasing an old china plate and lay
the fish on that, pouring enough
hot water in the pan to reach half

BY cLAR!ssA MkckIE.

Jim Wade shaded his eyes with one
broad hand and looked over his rich
fields ripe for the harvest. AS far as the
eye could see from his point of van
tage on the ranch house steps the land
was his own.
Because Molly Wade was his only
child, Jim, watching her grow up from
motherless girlhood, was full of
fears and apprehensions for her fu-
ture. The best In the world was none
too good for Molly, and so away to
school Molly went, aud when she came
back. unchanged, unspolled. he was
thankful.
She came back as simple hearted
and home loving as when she had
taken her fearful farewell Of him. The
so called broader life for women had
no attraction for Molly Wade. She
was first and last n home lover-a
homemaker.
Jim sighed even then as he watched
her directing the affairs of the house
they occupied. Almost any day now
some handsome young man might
come along and rob his nest of its one
birding. And each morning he looked
searchlngly into her clear blue eyes
seeking some change that might tell
him of the threatened invasion of her
heart, for suitors there were in plenty
at the Wade ranch.
This morning Molly dashed around
from the corral on her little black mare
Daisy.
Where now, honey" asked Jim.
"a ride in the corn. father. Can't
you come, dear" Molly's hair was
like ripened corn silk. aud her eyes

THREE TIMES AND OUT.
When . Girl Quit Telling Of Her Bad
Break.


Break.
Just before high school closed Der.
tha's English teacher had a party for
his star class in themes. Every one
was delighted, for the teacher was the
idol OF the class. Bertha was partlc-
ularly pleased, Tor there she would see
two good friends, Egbert and Mac,
and she would have perfectly splen-
did ume-she knew she would.
Happily one, Egbert by name, asked
IL he might take her TO the party, and
she consented, reluctantly, OF course,
just for policy's sake
That night at the party Bertha was
having a gay time with her class
mates. the two boys in particular.
In the parlor conversation lulled, and
in an effort to free themselves from
any responsibility they sought the
porch as retreat.
They sat In the soft light and chat
ted In low tones. Suddenly they stop
ped talking. They were conscious OF
some ones approach on the walk in
front Of them. They were silent.
queer looking woman, very pc
culiarly dressed, passed by.
Bertha, was impressed by the wom-
ans oddly, and so for want OF some
thing better to say she remarked:
well, 1 wonder who that crazy
freak isv'
Mae was silent moment, then re-
piled:
THAT was my mother"
They didn't know what to say, so
she suggested that they go In the
house.
Many years passed. Bertha moved
west and didn't see Mac after that
night. One evening she and her sister
called on friend In the village that
she now called home.
A nephew OF the hostess was visit
ing her.
She introduced the girl to him, but
Bertha didn't catch his name. In
some way they began to talk about
breaks" and Bertha began to tell
about the terrible one she made years
ago when she was In high school
She noticed that the boy looked rath-
er queer, but she paid no attention and
continued with her story. When she
had finished the nephew spoke up and
said:
Yes 1t was my brother to whom
you said that"
The lad had recognized the story and
Bertha's name.
month later Bertha was on the
train and met an elderly gentleman,
who told her his name. II was the
same as that OF the nephew, but Ber-
tina didn't connect them. 1t was the
name that reminded her of the funny
and yet sad breaks she had made to
the brothers.
Never dreaming that this man was
associated with or related to the same
family, she proceeded to tell the sto-
ries.
Eyes, / remember hearing the boys
tell about IL. It was my wife of
whom you spoke"
And they laughed heartily at the
very peculiar coincidence, but Bertha
was careful after that and never told
of the breaks again, but tried to lose
them from her stock of stories.-Chi-
cago Record Herald.

The United States government il
indebted TO the state OF Michigan In
the sum OF $4,000 and the money

citizen from the state to lay o.aim
TO It,
Under the enabling act" by which
Michigan was admitted into the union
5 per cent of all moneys derived from
the sale of certain public lands by the
government was to be paid into the
state treasury. There was paid TO the
state on this account 1886. 751.49. Nc

government 10 the state.
In 1886. under the Jackson ADMINISTERS

sum among the several states and an

passage of the act 1t is learned a
large amount of the surplus then In
the treasury arose from the sale OF
