LIGHTNING CAME BY PHONE

While the sun was shining the other
day at Clinton, N. j., and there was no
indication of an electrical storm, a
bolt of lightning struck a liberty pole
In front of a hotel SCATTERING the shaft
and soaring a team of mules so badly
that they ran two miles. The team
was tied to ring attached to the pole,
which was thirty feet high. After the
animals had been stopped it was found
that the bolt of lightning which had
shattered the pole had also melted the
iron shoes from each of the mules
Otherwise they were uninjured. The
source of the lightning bolt puzzled all
the local electrical experts and me-
teorologists, but after investigation it
was found that telephone wire run
ming from Singac passed so close to
the flag pole as to touch it. At the
time the pole was struck fierce thun.
der storm was raging in the vicinity
of Singac, and the theory is that
lightning striking the telephone wire
in the storm zone, Travelled over the
cable until 1t encountered the unin-
sulated liberty pole, where the full
force of the bolt was spent

HOARD IN A FLOATING LOG

A party of campers from Seattle
were hauling a gigantic cedar log up
on the beach Of Lake Washington to
be converted into firewood when what
appeared to be huge plug attracted
their attention. One ran for the axe
and the log was split into two pieces.
The plug acted as a door of safety
vault where some logger twenty years
ago had hidden his savings. There
were $500 in gold, S68 in silver and
$500 in currency. The name, though,
dim, on the post Office money orders
appears to be Claude Parsons or Par
ker, and they are pay BILE in the post
Office at Eau Claire, Wis. The money
orders are dated April, 1891.
Efforts will be made to find the
rightful owner of the hoard. Many sto-
ries are told of the prodigality with
which loggers handled their money
in the halcyon days of logging. A
favorite bank was to put a boom
augur hole in a big stump. Into this
hole was put the gold, silver and pa
per and a big plug driven into the
hole The plug was then sawed off
plumb with the bark and the wealth
left until wanted. Many of these I'M
provised banks were swept away by
floods or destroyed in forest fires.

TO SERVE TOMATOES
VARIETY OF COMBINATIONS FOR
HEALTHFuL VEGETABLE.
Can Be Served Three Times q Day for
Week and Never Twice Alike
Cancer Theory Elk
pioded.

The housekeeper whose family
scorns tomatoes is to be pitied. They
can be used three times a day, every
day for a week and never need they
be served twice alike.
Some time ago there were rumors
that the tomato was bad for cancerous
troubles. also must be dreaded by
rheumatics. This theory is exploded
and the tomato is considered health
ful even in quantities.
Tomatoes are sometimes disliked
because they are served monotonous-
ly. Stewed, baked or fried are the
three variations
Why not. instead of ordinary baked
tomatoes, stuff them with the highly
seasoned remnant of yesterdays meat
or chicken put through a grinder and
mixed with a cream dressing?
Another good stuffing is cold maca-
roni, from which the sauce has been
washed off, mixed with chopped green
peppers. When the breadcrumb stuff
fing is used have you ever covered the
top thickly with cream or Parmesan
cheese?
The average fried tomato is unpala-
table because it Is Toured to death.
Try frying the raw. sliced tomatoes in
plenty of butter to which little lard
is added to prevent burning Cook
slowly until done. then remove most
OF the tomatoes, add a little more but
ter rubbed with flour. and cream to
make thick dressing. If you do not
mind the tomatoes being broken they
can be returned to this gravy over
the stove, otherwise it is poured over
them. Season highly.
Instead of plain tomato salad try
itufflng the icy cold peeled tomato
with asparagus tips. Cover with may
onnaise.
Another form of salad is to cut the
whole tomatoe into six sections with
out cutting through Keep it looking
as If whole, fill the opening with
chopped Brussels sprouts and olives
mixed and soak for half an hour in
French dressing When serving put
mayonnaise on the top. The cutting
enables the seasoning to permeate
more rapidly and the salad can be
more easily eaten.

cakes for the summer breakfast. They
can be either fried on a griddle or

New York last April and died shortly
afterwards in hospital. On notifica-
ton from the coroner, her relatives
came to view the body and she was
identified by her son, her sister. her
brother and a cousin; burial permit
was issued in the name of Mary Nc
Confgle; an insurance company paid
Silt on the life of Mary McGonigle;
the traction company paid $3.50 for the
funeral of Mary McGonigle; the body
Of Mary McGonigle now lies in Cal
Vary cemetery
Late one night recently Mary Nc
Conigle in the flesh walked into her
sisters home
To say there was surprise at her
visit would understate the emotions of
the relatives. The sister screamed;
the brother dropped his new clay pipe
and small niece tainted Mrs. Nc
Gonigle herself was surprised but
placid; she had not read the newspa-
pers, and did not know that she was
supposed to be dead.
Then came explanations. Mary Nc
Gonigle had been buried all right, but
it was the wrong Mary. The living
woman is in private service and her
address f1uctuates with her employ
