Tale of Lincoln and Stanton

came over from the White House to
get such election returns as had been
received by the war department. The
returns were not coming In very fast.
and Mr.. Lincoln. deciding to remain
awhile, sat down on the old sofa
which stood at the rear end of Sec
rotary Stanton's ONCE. With him was
whitelaw Reid. who. at that time. was
the Washington correspondent Of one
of the Cincinnati newspapers.
Pretty soon Mr.. Lincoln pulled
pamphlet from his pocket and began
to read from 1t to Mr.. Reid. Occa-
sionally. he gave way to laughter and
displayed other genuine evidences Of
being intensely amused by the humor
of the article he was reading II was
as remember one Of collection of
some of the humorous papers of Pc
troleum " Nasty. the nom de plume
Of the editor of the Toledo Blade
humorous sarcasm that had great
vogue at that time
"E saw that Stanton was getting an
noyed. and at last he took me to one
side. Can you understand that? he
asked, Indignantly, nodding In the d.
rection of the president. The destiny
Of this nation Is dependent upon this
election. We shall know before morn
ing whether the cause OF the Union
has been triumphant at the polls or
not. And there sits the man, around
whom this election centers, on that
sofa reading that miserable trash, and
laughing at It as though he were the
most unconcerned man in the United
States over the results of the election
can't stand it,
And said to Stanton: II tell you
why he's reading Nasty. It is simply
to relieve the terrific strain-mental
and temperamental-th is upon him.
II he did not get relief in that way.
he would die or 60 crazy And do
believe that until that moment secre-
tary Stanton had no appreciation
whatever Of the real reason why Lin
coin sought refuge and consolation In
humor in what were critical or dark
moments of the war and the nation. /"

MUST BE PERFECTION
SALAD NEVER A DISH THAT CAN
Be SIGHTED.
Clear Judgment and Much Care fol-
This Absolutely Indispensable Ad-
Junct Of the Modern Din
ner Table.

Among the luxuries of our bills of
fare there is not one that is more ap-
preciated by everyone than a we'll
made salad; there is no department OF
cooking that demands clearer Judg-
ment in making and serving than this
same salad; while all kinds, from the
richest to the simplest. depend on the
materials selected and their wise COM
bination.
All salads should be served very
cold and long standing Injuries them.
Therefore make the dressing and place
1t near the ice in the cooler before pre-
pairing the salad proper. When ready
to serve. chill the bowl and the indi-
vidual salad plate II you would have
your salad at it's best.
Bread and butter sandwiches or
Boston brown bread thinly sliced
and delicately spread with fresh but
ter and filed with a shredded lettuce
leaf sprinkled with ground nuts may
be served with any salad. But with
lobster, shrimp OF fish salad. "bru-
nettes" are the proper caper; they are
made from the white bread and butter
sandwiches filed with Neufchatel
and minced cress. Mutton sandwiches
are liked with vegetable salads They
are seasoned with herbs, as mint. pep
per grass, celery, salt. curry and
minced pickles.
For potato salad prepare cheese
straws. or spread graham bread with
a mixture of snappy cheese and the
hard boiled yolk of eggs and seasoning.
The homemade cheese straws are far
better than the made ones, that are
sold In cartons, and win keep as well;
they may be reheated just before us
ing.
Miss Grauers recipe for cheese
straws: These are particularly nice,
and. II cut evenly, look dainty. Crate
three tablespoonfuls of dry, highly sea-
soned cheese. to it put one-half pint of
sifted flour seasoned with salt and pap
rika; rub together with a tablespoon
OF butter and cold water as for pastry.
Turn onto the Toured baking board and
roll out thin. Cut half the paste into
straws and the rest into rings. Bake
until yellow and crisp in moderate
oven and serve with the straws laid
In the rings.
Rich and elaborate salads are served
as q course by themselves, but when
salad is to accompany a meat course,
It should be simple in character and
served on individual salad plates. Very
often the salad is placed on such plates
and the dressing passed with 1t on a
, separate boat or bowl; this manner has
much to commend it.
With duck, rich fish and water
fowl, acid salads are served These
are made with good allowance of
lime. lemon juice or Tarragon vim
egar. Cheese is passed with all green
salads and black coffee and saltines go
with all Accomplishments.
Sweet drinks. as punch and fruit
drinks, are never served with fruit or
sweet salad.

Of old pillow shoes, when Brookin,
hearing the quarrel, took up ashot-
gun and advancing into the room
where the two quarreling men were,
empticd the contents Of one barrel
into Martins right side. The shot
was fired at close range and made a
fearful hole in Martins side, plow-
ing its way into the region Of the
kidneys.
AS soon as Mr.. Fleetwood learned
what had been done he telephoned
for DR.. w. L. Davis, who rcsponsed
promptly, but he could do nothing

county the killing occurred, are on
