THE CLEVER QUEEN.

Long ago, in the country of
Persia, there lived king who, be-
cause of the faithlessness of his
wife, passed this fearful decree:
That every day he would wed a
maiden of his kingdom and that
each must be strangled to make
room for the next. Great was the
sorrow this cruel decree caused
throughout the kings hitherto
happy kingdom, and many fair
damsels were put to death to sat
isfy his rage.
The kings chief counselor had
two beautiful daughters and he
was in constant fear lest one OF
them should he the next victim OF
the relentless monarch. Imagine
his horror, then, when one day
his favorite daughter offered te
become the kings next bride. The
father pleaded with her, but Sche
hera-zade said she had a plar
whereby she would save not only
her own life but the lives of al
the rest of the maids in the realm
So her father. with many tears
gave her into the kings hands
With all due pomp they were
welded and driven to the palace
in the coach OF state. When they

The Succulent
Watermelon

What is more refreshing on a
hot summers morning or evening,
than a slice of cool ripe sweet mel
on? The flavor is SO delicious
that its popularity is we'll de-
served.
And even the rind can be
utilized by the thrifty housewife.
With the culinary skill which she
has acquired through experience
she transforms the tasteless rind
into the daintiest of preserves and
pickles.
Preserves-In preparing pre-
serves many soak the peeled rinds
in brine or alum water, and with
this process the work drags along
for two or more days. Late ex-
periments prove this trouble is
entirely unnecessary. After the
rind is carefully peeled and cut
into pieces of the desired shape,
mix with an equal weight of sugar
and let stand over night. This
method of procedure will draw out
the natural juices and make it I'M
necessary to add water. Add sliced
lemon to flavor and boil slowly
until fruit is clear and strip thick.
Put in jars and keep in a cool dark
place.
Spiced-This process is most
elaborate, but the results Justify
the housewives labor. To make
the spiced vinegar mix four pounds
of sugar with one pint of vinegar,
and boil with following spices tied
in bags: One-half ounce ginger
root, one-half teaspoon ground
mace, two teaspoons cinnamon,
teaspoons allspice, and one tea
spoon ground cloves. When sug-
ar and vinegar begin to simmer
add six pounds of peeled rind.
Bring to boiling point, turn into
stone jar and set in cool place
over night. Next morning drain
strip from rind, bring to boiling
point, and pour again over rind.
Repeat process daily for a week,
when Tind should be clear and
sparkling, and there should be just
strip enough to cover the fruit.
Seal in tumblers while hot.
Pickle---This will be appreciated
when winter sets in-just before
the other pickles are ready to use:
To each quart of vinegar allow
three pounds of brown sugar, two
ounces of cinnamon and two
ounces of cinnamon and two
ounces of cloves. Tie up spices in
cheesecloth bag, and boil five min
utes with sugar and vinegar. Pour
while hot over pared and sliced
rind, and let stand in stone jar "a
hours. Then boil and seal whiIs
hot.

while we wage slaves in their employ, to COM
pei us to return to work at wages and working con-
ditions that unbearable. Forgive the coal bar
who have created palatial homes for themselves
and families with the wealth we have created, and
who have evicted helpless men, women and children
from the novels we lived in and paid exorbitant rents
for, and where we lived for many years, good,
willing slaves to the coal corporations.
80 Lord! forgive the coal operators who are re-
sponsible for the restitution, want suffering and
hardships the miners with their wives and children
obliged to undergo in their struggle for liberty
which to means bread.

ness who to lack the moral courage to raise

What's the use of going away
from home and spending money
and wearing yourself out on a va
cation? Vacation is only bluff,
anyhow, and you can have better
time staying right at home.
That's the argument put up to
my friend Goldie Gumdrop, and
she said she looked at it that
way, too.
But" she said, eff we don't go
away for a spell in summer we
might as we'll not be in society"
OF course, we're not in real So
ciety, only department store So
ciety, but in would-be society you
have to put up a front same as II
YOU had something to do it on.
Then came to bat with the re-
mark that we'd sign a little notice
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-08-15

about going to the Muskoka Thu
sand Islands and send it to the
paper, and stay right at the
house. OF course we'd have to
close it up, because pa and ma was
down in the country visiting q
sick relative, but we'd get a real
good rest, the kind we needed.
Well, the paper fell for 1t and
the society column had us starting
tomorrow. This evening all our
young gent friends came to bid
us bon frontage and hoped we'd
write often. Some of them even
came across with remembrance
boxes of candy.
After they'd gone we could
hardly go to sleep for giggling
over the big josh we were putting
over ON everybody.

thing occurred, until finally the
king, filled with admiration for
his clever wife, took back his cruel
decree, and Schehera-zade became,
not for one night nor thousand
nights, but for the psace of both
their lives, the queen of Persia.
Tomorrow we will begin to hear
the stories that the queen told to
save her life, and the lives of the

engaged to lady. 1t seemed for
a time / loved her. Since our en-
gagement she comes to me and
makes her own dates. She is al
together different from the girl
she was before. Then she was a
little distant all the time, but now
she does not care. There is no
doubt as to her sincerity, but /
care less for her every day. What
shall l do to sever our engage
ment? DON'T KNOW.
A. Cd Anything strong
enough to remove the stains would
also remove the color from the
material. GU Tell her frankly
that your feeling has changed. 1t
won't break her heart. If she's
the right kind of a girl she will
see that marriage under such con-
ditions would be a hideous failure.
Be kind about it, though, for per-
haps you have been the cause of
this attitude you dislike. And
don't forget that when a girl is
engaged to you she really HAS
some claim on your time and de-
votion. Engagement and marriage
naturally cause a breaking down
of reserve, but this familiarity
should never breed contempt, or
disgust.

OF both pastors showed that the lhieses
went about their work with care. But so
far as could be ascertained yesterday by
pastors and members OF the CONGREGATIONS
nothing was missing from either church.
The thieves were evidently looking for
money and In the First Baptist Church they
broke open cases containing Bibles. But
none OF the Bibles was missing. said the
Rev. George w. Mcdaniel d D., pastor,
yesterday after he had made thorough
inves cation.

money to be founa.
Burglaries OF this kind have continued fol
some time, Churches In Petersburg and
