i'm our cellar Those who are not ac' duainted with the manners and GUS toms of the possum will not realize the full import of the situation into which we find ourselves thrust wite so little ceremony, or consideration. Our particular possum has teeth like a crosscut saw, and he seems to De particularly fond of fingers and thumbs. He is not at all particular about his diet and will tackle an old pair of shoes or a galvanized iron wash boiler with neatness and eclat. Our possum hes pessimis1ic dispo- sition and is about as agreeable com paaion around the house as a case Of smallpox or a wildcat who has been fed on red peppers. The climax came this morning when we awoke to find that the little pet had eaten the hand le on our coal shovel. We are quite fond of him, but we do not hesi- tate to say that if there is anybody who seems to feel that his or her hap piness and hope of eontented future depends upon the ownership of live 'possum, he or she can have this one if he or she can carry him away.
 
 ACCORDING TO UNCLE A5NER
 If there is any one thing more than another that a kid appreciates for a Christmas present it is a buck saw.
 When you come to look up the lucky dogs who don't have to work for a living you will find that most of them have wives who are teaching school or taking in plain sewing. It seems as though most everybody in this world has at some time or other experienced an irresistible de- sire to take music lessons and add a little something to the unhappiness of their neighbOrs.
 Speaking of professional women, did anybody eyer see an. amateur woman outside of the female imper- senators?
 The psychological time to buy Christmas presents is between the Fourth of July and September lst. A -palson always has money at that time, until that time comes.

sauce are familiar to every one. but mush-

broiled after peeling and dipping in melt

Serve them on rounds of soft toast as
garnish TO the chops.
A famous chef gives the following recipe
for mushroom sautes la Bordelaise';
