selected.
AL times during the past week the
air has been chilly, the result of the
showers cooling the atmosphere, and
a premonition of fall was in the at
nosphere. OF course FALL is some dis
lance away as yet, and there is a
chance for the sun to get in its work
for seven or eight weeks. Still the
season is sufficiently advanced to re-
move any danger of another long
siege of hot weather like unto some
OF the roasts that marked the progress
of July.

out on a trip to Spokane and Seattle
and was absent three or four weeks
In the cities he heard some complaint
or dull times, but after his long resi-
dence in this upper country, where
the gathering together of half dozen
people takes on the appearance of a
mob, from the crowds drifting hither
and thither, it appeared to him evil

Geo. Bowerman left Monday for the
Porcupine mining district, in Ontario.
Mr.. Bowerman followed mining for
years. and never became fully con-
tented with the slow but sure plod-
ding necessary to make an orchard, a
venture he has been engaged in for
two or three years. The lure of the
hills has been coaXing his attention
from his labor of retaining the
waste places, and at last he surren-
dered to the voice. He stated before
leaving that he was going to try his
luck once more delving for precious
metals. and if he failed this time it
would be his last try in that field of
effort.

1t has been publicly stated by
close relatives Of w. II. Black
that'they had held a meeting and
had decided to buy the office of
Circuit Judge. How do the vo-
ters of the district like the sound
of that remark? Are the major

and Whitley for sale, or will
they resent such a charge by vo-
ting against w. Il. Black and for
f. ID sampson, the friend of the

DISTANCE COVERED IN DANCE
Average Waltz VIII Take One Over
About Three-Quarters Of
Mile Of Travel.

Every one has observed that the
lady or the beau who objects strenu-
ously to taking any sort of exercise
and pleads incapacity to endure
strain will dance through full and
exhaustive programme, being in this
fashion seduced into a most vigorous
and under proper conditions benef-
cial exercise.
1t seems that in normal little
dance the parties travel something
like IN miles and do it in much
more strenuous fashion than they
would if they calmly set out to walk
the same distance. An average waltz
takes you over something like three
quarters of a mile and the various
old-fashioned square dances are at
least half a mile long.
To make dancing beneficial the
room should be thoroughly venti-
lated 80 that constant supply Of
fresh air is available for the over
worked heart-Chicago Tribune.

TO cook rice read how an old creole

learned to cook rice you will then be
able to utilize and serve It In many
different ways. Your household will

stead Of bread, with all gravies, espe-
cially the brown meat gravies. and
with peas and beans. Used with gravy
II will take the place Of potatoes, and
Is much easier to prepare. easier to
digest, and four times as nutritious.
II should be served dry. steaming hot,
not mushy. and every grain separate.
One cupful Of rice we'll washed, three
cupfuls OF boiling water, one scant
teaspoonful OF salt. and a saltspoonful
Of lard. Wash the rice through at
least six waters, or until all cloudiness
Is removed. Drain thoroughly. Bring
to the boiling point three brimful cup
fuls OF water, add the salt and the
tiny bit Of lard. When the water is
boiling briskly add the rice gradu-
ally, SO as not to stop the boiling.
Don't stir. The grains should be kept
moving by the boiling water. II will
take about IL minutes for the rice full
ly to absorb the water. During this
time keep the cover on, but slightly
pushed to one side. At the end of the
10 minutes the grains should be soft,
not the least gritty. Remove the cover
and at the same heat let dry out for
five minutes. II cooking on a gas
stove, at the end Of the FIVE minutes
lower the gas and let the drying out
process continue for 20 to 80 minutes
longer. If cooking on a wood or coal
stove, at the end of five minutes place

stove or In the oven to dry out. BY
cooking rice in this manner every bit
Of nutriment is retained at q minimum
cost Of effort. Each grain will be
pulled to almost three times the size
Of the uncooked grain. Always cook
rice with lid over the flame. On
gas stoves, an asbestos lid is recon-

thoroughly mixed dry, in a basin, and
then about two heaping tablespoonfuls

The bags to hold this compound

They need not be filed with the mix
ture, for smaller quantity will be
sufficient to soften the water, and the
mixture, II too much is used, will be
lost, as bag can be employed only
twice.
To get the best results the bag

HIS MONEY OR HIS WIFE.

night he was a guest at the dinner
of the sheriff's panel, always the
most ornate dinner of the year. 1t
costs $4,000, and, to dispose of
this fund the dinner master provid-
ed solid silver souvenirs, in addition
to the barrels of vintage champagne.
Mr.. Stanchfeld told this yarn to il
lustrate a point:

from the Black Hand" said he. at

HE HAD FORGOTTEN.

The absent mindedness of a cler-
gyman, temporarily in charge of a
leading Belfast church, was respon-
sible for a singular dilemma in
which bridal party was placed the
other day. The ceremony was fixed
for nine o'clock a. M, and punctu-
ally at that hour the bridal party ar
rived, the church, one of the most
spacious in ireland, being by this
time filled with relatives and friends
Of the contracting parties. The sex
ton was in attendance, but no cler-
gyman. After a lapse of an hour,
anxiety gradually gave way TO a
feeling of alarm. The bride swooned
twice. Eventually hurried tele-
phone call brought the truant cler-
gyman, who, almost two hours late
was profuse in his apologies for his
absent mindedness.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO DOG
New York Florist Closed Shop and
Gave Murdered ST. Bernard
Real Funeral.

Seldom do we find a man who has
the courage to do what Ibsen's He'd
da Gabler called "a really beautiful
thing" This is quite a prosaic
world, after all, and folk look as
kance at the man who will do deed
Of sentiment in broad daylight. But
such things do happen, just once in
a while. The other day New York
florist closed all his shops and held
a funeral for his loved st. Bernard
dog, whom a fiend had poisoned.
Regular services we're held at the
masters house, and the minister who
read the service delivered touching
eulogy on dogs and on Leo in partic-
ular. The dogs body was borne to
the grave by four children who had
known Leo since he was a puppy.
Around the grave the mourners sang
a hymn. Was the minister ashamed
to officiate at dogs funeral3 Not
a bit. at seems to me eminently
proper and fitting" the minister
said; 81 knew Leo as a friend, and
as a friend | mourn his tragic TAX
ing off. OF all earthly creatures
none is so faithful as ones dog" A
highly beautiful sentiment! Den
