Daddy's Bedtime
o. -
>tOYyr Some Fish That
J Picked Berries
The Fish Jumped at
the Huckleberries

ANT I go a-fshing tomorrow with the Bunce boys2" asked Jack as
soon IS his father came in that evening. Jacks mother had said
no because she was afraid 81 small a boy might tumble into the
water and be drowned.
why do you want to go fshingT' asked daddy as he racked his brain
for a appropriate bedtime story.
Because so 1 can catch some fish. The other boys do"
why do you want to catch those poor little fish, You can't ga. that kind
anyway. Why not let the minnows stay in the water, where they cal have
a good timer
This was a new view Of the fish case to Jack and Evelyn
You never "a a fish have a good time? I'll tell you, though, what a
friend II min who went fishing the other day in Massachusetts said that
he saw"
"Oh" they said and looked at n another
There burberry bushes grow quite close to the brooks, the branches
often hanging down over the water Well, my friend had chosen a nice
quiet place where he thought the fishes would be sure to bite Soon
he "a a couple Of fish, pckerl they were, come swimming to the top Of
the water. One of them poked its head out of the water and my friend SAYS
he is sure it vas looking about to find a berry bush. 1t never looked 1t his
hook, which was bahed with a nice young minnow, of which ptckerel are said
to be fond After the look around the fish swan upstream. Then it turned
and came hurrying down again. Mr.. Fisherman wondered what could be
the matter. He almost dropped into the waterh himself when he saw that fish
make a jump for the BURBERRY bushes. Just behind came another fish that
time? Well, my friend thinks they did. for they seemed to be eating some
thin that they found good. You know how good bueberres are, don't on.
children, especially in BURBERRY pie? Well, the fishes made several visits to
the bush, and my friend vas 10 busy watching them that he forgot all about
his line, and the first thing he knew it a in the waters and floating down
stream, minnow and ALL So he had to go home without any fish, but the
story he told of the berry picking fish made a greater hit than any catch that
he has ever taken. And, what is more, he says that the story is true
$50, children, you zee you can't always judge by looks. Slow and dull as
he looks, the fish Is smart enough to know a good thing when he sees it, which
is more than some human beings know"

CORD INSTEAD OF RIBBON.
It Is Just as Pretty For Lingerie and
Will Stand Laundering.

So many advantages has the twist
ed cord Of white mercerized embroid-
cry cotton over any variety of narrow
ribbon for running through the bead
ing or worked eyelets Of lingerie that
no one who has tried 1t will willingly
go back to her former servitude to rib
bons that have to be run in after each
laundering. The initial cost is about
the same as that of a good quality Of
ribbon, but when the attractive ap-
pearance and wearing properties Of
the twisted cord are considered there
is no comparison.
If a fairly heavy number of embroid-
cry cotton is chosen four strands
should be sufficient, hut of a hnc cot
ton eight strands will be needed.
Measure loosely around the top of the
corset cover or chemise, add twelve
inches tying and take up" In twist
ing. Forty-fve to fifty inches is gen.
orally good measure for a corset cover.
A nightgown may require more.
Measure either four or eight times
this amount. Double the thread, let
somebody hold the end firmly Or fas-
ten it to something secure. Twist the
other end until the strands are tightly
wound around each other, then very
carefully double the twisted cord and
twist the other way. If eight strands
be used repeat this process. A little
practice makes the work easy. Run
this cord through eyelets or beading,
finish with a tassel of the merCerized
cotton at each end, and the garment
will have no more need Of the tape
needle. The cord will last as long as
the garment, and the tassels prevent
1t slipping out in the washtub. 1t
will tie in quite as attractive a bow

PAPER BAG COOKERY.
Chance For Housewife to Throw Away
Her Pots and Pans.

Chance For Housewife to Throw Away
Her Pots and Pans.
"Throw away your pots and pans,
discard your broilers and roasting
dishes and do your cooking in paper
bags. Do not hesitate. Do not mar
vel. Do all Of your cooking except
maybe the brewing Of your tea and the
boiling Of your soups in paper bags"
So advises NJ. Soyer, chef Of a smart
London club and the inventor of paper
bag cookery.
Paper bag cooking for dwellers in
fats and single rooms is the solution
ofamany a difficulty. One Of the chief
drawbacks to fats has been the diff
Guilty Of avoiding the smell Of cookery.
With the paper bag there is no smell.
In the small fiat kitchen there is little
space for pots and pans. None is need
ed for paper bag cookery"
The chef does not claim that the
use of his paper bag alone guarantees
perfection in the finished product.
Good cooking requires time, skill and a
proper attention to the mixing Of the
concomitants whether n cooks in a
saucepan or a paper bag. The use OF
the bag does not abrogate any Of the
rules for perfect cooking; it only sim
plifies and perfects the methods. To
use the bag grease slightly the inside
of the bag except in case of vegetables
or when water is added. For begin
ners 1t is advisable. Butter, lard or
drippings may be used.
When the food has been prepared for
the bag place the same on the table

and lift the uppermost edge of the bag
while you insert the contents.
Fold the mouth Of the bag two or
three times and fasten with a clip. 1t
Is desirable to fold the corners of the
bag SO as to secure as ear as possible
a hermetical closing.
ANY oven will do for paper bag cook
ing, the discoverer asserts. There is
little difference whether the oven be
heated by coal, gas or electricity. To
find out when the food in the bag Is
cooked all one has to do is to make a
little hole In the paper and look in.
In the case Of many articles a slight
touch on the bag will instruct the ex-
perienced cook as to the condition of
the cooking food within.

hNNN"A
to think worth repeating.
Grandfathers oldest so al in his early youth a ships carpenter
His first long voyage was to Calcutta. He W gone several months.
and when it came time for him to return, grandmother, of course, began
to make all sorts of preparations. Days before the ship was due she be-
gan to plan how they would all go down to the wharf to meet John, and
what. they would have for dinner, and all the dear delicious details of his
Homecoming.
During this planning, grandfather was strangely unenthusastic. ri
wouldn't plan too much, mother" he would urge. Suppose the ship is
late, or something"
Grandmother thought all this very strange, for grandfather wasn't
usually a wet blanket; but she laid 1t to an unsupported streak If super
sttuon, and let it go at that
When the ship as actually sighted in the harbor, grandfather acted
even more strangely than before. He didn't want grandmother to lay out
the boiled shirt she had ready for John, and he wouldn't even let her
go to the wharf with him.
So he went alone to meet John. And by and by he I'M back In a
carriage with John with his leg in a plaster cast and his young face all
pale and wan and thin, and then, of course, the whole story came out.
1t seemed that some months before, grandfather had gotten word
from a vessel which cam direct from Calcutta, instead OF by a roundabout
route, as Johns ship did, that Johns ship was about to sail with all on
board except the ships carpenter, who had had some kind Of an accident
and had to be left behind. And John a the ships carpenter.
but not about Johns being left behind. He had risen out of bed in the
hospital the day the ship sailed and insftsed On being taken home.
And all these months grandfather had been bearing that anxiety
alone.
All the family asked him why he didn't tell them, and he just said,
"What good would 1t have done ? 1 would have told you If you could
have helped; but you couldn't. 1t would have made you worry"
Do you know, that story is Is inspiring to ne as a story of real
physical heroism.
1 felt a new respect for and pride ain my grandfather when 1 heard it.
And more than that, a e shame for my own weakness in sharing anxt-
cites.
That is why I have repeated this bit of family history to you.
What good would it have done?" said grandfather, simply
What good does it do for any of US to darken someone elses heart
with the anxiety that is overshadowing our own?

Made Him Feel Older.

The late Archbishop Ryan illuminat-
ed every subject he discussed, and
once at a banquet in Philadelphia he
illuminated strangely the subject of
old age.
1--WE ourselves" he said, "never seem
to grow old. Our hearts remain young,
and even our faces In the glass don't
look old, as do our friends faces. One
day on Chestnut street a very withered
and bent graybeard accosted me.
"'Why,' he said, don't you remember
me? We were classmates at Carlow
college,"
Archbishop Ryan paused, then added
whimsically:

Discussion of fundamental market influ-
ences TO-DAY ranged from purely academIcai
to the possibility of reduced DIVIDENDS IN
the next Few months by some OF the prom
lnent roads well as Industrial com-'
panles. Respecting the former IT was
noted that St Paurs earnings the last two
years have been such as TO cause doubt
that the company will be able to MAINTAIN

well known that other roads of less m

United States Steel led the list in point
of activity today sales aggregating 10000
shares out of a grand total OF 1S2,OOO The
buying OF this stock was at times on
very large scale and gave color to the
theory that the demands came from inside
sources
Among favorable advices bearing on the
steel and iron industry was the news OF
increased activity in the Pittsburg dis
trict This was partly modified, however,
by reports that the new business resulted
from further shading of prices in finished
products
A significant item touching the Hartman
properties was the announcement that de-
creased traffic had caused the withdrawal
by Southern Pacific of four ships from its
coastwiSe trade.
The market was at its best in the last
hour, when Union Pacific advanced to
1749s, gain OF points, with a simultane-
Gus move elsewhere in the active groups.
considerable stock came out on this rise,
but the advantage was well maintained,

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE grain market
sagged today and closed near the bottom,
September wheat. 5slt1c; september corn,
1iRc, and September oats &c under Satur
day, the selling coming mostly from tired
holders. Provisions were steady.
Favorable weather and roster crop reports
from the Canadian northwest, discouraged
the wheat longs who did not unload last
week. Threshing returns were generally
satisfactory. The Argentine wired that crop
prospects were favorable, but that there
was a strong market because Of light ar
rivals from the country.
Reports from the corn belt were generally
glowing, although there was not wanting
a pessimistic note to the effect that no
amount of good weather, such as was re-
ported today, could rescue the crop from
the damage suffered in July. The more IN
fluential longs, however, preferring to give
the crop q chance and prices declined under
their sales. Cash corn dropped from lie TO
1hs September sold between 65isd631sc.
The oats market was unimportant The
cash article declined k@lac in the sample

with wheat and corn. December prices
ranged between 41%c and Ale, the close
