Why They LAUGHED .

A man coming downtown in a North
side car realized there was something
about his appearance that was highly
amusing. One girl sitting opposite
him could not control herself and
laughed aloud.
Behind a newspaper he turned to
the man next to him and asked him

HOW TO MAKE SALADS
STANDARD KINDS OF POTATOES
AND OTHER VEGETABLES.
Bonbon, HazIenut and SWeetbread
Salads Are More Unusual, but
Are Not Very Difficult
to Mix.

Vegetable SaIads.-Whtle the many
give various good recipes for salads,
it is from the real cooks themselves
that we get the gems. The unusual
salads are, as rule, a rather ex-
pensive luxury for everyday use, the
fish salads and meat salads are
fairly well known, the vegetable
salads are also becoming well
known, such as asparagus, cauli-
flower and the macedoine Of vege-
tables. The ever welcome potato sal
ad is always standby for the young
housekeeper in making up her daily
variety. The fruit salads are not al
ways as popular as they should be,
for many feel that just before the des-
sert course they take away the zest
for the sweet to follow. Perhaps this
Is trUe,~ but they are so healthy that
this should be their excuse for be-
ing
Bonbon SaIad.-Shape small-sized
balls of new Pimento cheese and
roll them in finely ground pecan
nuts, press half white grape
on either side of the cheese. Al
low six to portion arranged on
white lettuce leaves and cover with
heavy mayonnaise, to which little
whipped cream has been added just
before serving
HazIenut SaIad.-Shell and blanch
one pound Of hazlenuts and grind half
of them fine in a grinder. Crate a
half of a pineapple, mix with the nuts
and tablespoonful of sherry, Juice
Of half a lemon and tablespoonful of
powdered sugar. Let stand one hour,
then drain and add a package OF
cream cheese, mix to paste, then
make into balls with a whole nut in
the center of each, pile on white let
tuce leaves and cover with mayon-
naise
Sweetbread SaIad.-Parboil, blanch
and chill one good pair Of sweet
breads and cut them into small pieces.
Grind fine one dozen salted almonds,
six olives, one green pepper and one
sweetbreads with the juice of lemon,
gherkin pickle. Add these to the
Juice Of one onion and wineglass of
sherry Let stand one hour, then
drain and serve in green pepper cases
with mayonnaise dressing.
The invariable rule of good salad
making is to have all of the ingredi.
ents ready, but not to mix the salad
until the last possible moment. OF
course, celery, where it Is used, holds
a salad up pretty well, but If dressed
too long 1T Is bound to grow wilted
and unappetizing.

FONDANT FOR FINE CANDIES
II Is Made Of GranuIated Sugar and
Cream Tartar-Recipe for Choco-
late Creams Using 1t.

Fondant.-Two cups granulated
sugar, one-half cup cold water,
boiled slowly. Add quarter tea.
spoon Of cream tartar, before 1t
has boiled five minutes. When 1t
keeps its shape in cold water wet
dish in cold water, platter Is best,
pour 1t out carefully and stir with
wooden spoon till stiff and about to
crumble. Then take in your hands
and work and knead 1t till pliable and
smooth. Pack in a deep dish and
cover with wet cloth. Let stand sew
eral hours, till next day Is better,
when 1t will be velvety and of fine
texture. Don't try to make 1t on
cloudy or stormy day, as a clear
bright atmosphere will give best re-,
suits. From this fondant all kinds OF
fine candies can be made.
Chocolate creams-Form the balls
from the above fondant and let stand
over night to harden. Cook together
one cup granulated sugar, one-half
cup water and tiny pinch Of cream OF
tartar till, when little is dropped in
cold water, 1t can be gathered on a
spoon, then set on back of stove and
add two squares of chocolate that has
been melted, heaping teaspoon each
of butter and vanilla, and set dish in
another of hot water, and dip the
creams. 1t takes but a few minutes
for them to harden. Drop on waxed
paper. They are extra nice.

Iakinu up Our Cross.

The cross is to be met with in nttlu
things as we'll as in great things; in
the little details Of daily life; in our
conduct with our friends; in the daily
subiection of our creaturely will; In
the turning aside from those attrac-
tions which lead us out Of the way Of
duty or the path of privilege; in the
continual preference of that which
savors of God to that which savors of
man: in always putting his will first
and our own will second; in never do
Ing a thing merely because it pleases
rs to do it, nor shrinking from doing
anything because it is painful, but In
ever endeavoring to be guided by tha
desire to become conformed unto the
nature of him who is our leader. II
Is in such little things as these that
the cross is to be taken up.-Rev. w
M. Hay, Aitken.

COMING
BY NIGHT
By REV. CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY

TEXT-Nicodemus, he that came
to Jesus by nights-St. John 7:50

IN them; superfiuous statements are

repetition is therefore apparent. We

NtOsdemus thrice mentioned in connec-
ton with Jesus. In the first reference

crely and by night In the next two,
one of which took place before the
death of the Nazarene and the other
after, the fact of that nocturnal visit

man who came seeking the truth
secretly and by night.
To trace his career is interesting,
His condition in life has been stated,
Timidity was his prevailing character,
stic. He had insight to suspect the
truth, mentality to acknowledge it, but
not courage to live it and proclaim It.
1t is well that that lacking quality
which prevented him from being num-
bered with the apostles should bd
brought to the fore, for he Is a type Of
humanity by no means uncommon. He
NEW what was right, but he did not
lave courage to shape his life In 40

ief was not operative. It was not
practical. In politics he would cry
oudly for reform and yet vote his
party In the final test.
The last scene in his life Is tragical.
y typical. When the man in whom he
,nly half believed, whom he had de-
Tended faint heartedly. whom he had
sought by night, was dead he came
with unavailing tears and futile gifts
20 pay belated tribute, respect and af
lection. How useless then! 1t re-
1uired some courage, doubtless. to do
that. He had progressed somewhat
rom his nocturnal and secret visits.
Even his sorry touch OF the Master
had wrought that much change. Per.
haps that was the beginning Of
greater change which would eventual

deceased clergyman to body of men
who were passing resolutions after the
death of their friend and telling what
he had been to them, ooh, gentlemen.

Do not be afraid to stand for what

open light of day. Do not wait until
men or issues are dead, and then seek
to expiate your cowardice by tardy.

It's your turn to bully, to dictate

"On the contrary" he said, with
maddening quiet, 81 would be the last
person in the world to wish to per-

it was hardly discreet, was 1t, to visit

Scheme for Tray Meals,

Where many meals are served In
a room 1t Is we'll to hunt up some OF
the novelties that make such service
easy.
Very new Is a tray of white porce-
lain with silver or nickel trimmings.
This is fitted with grooves of the
metal in which are set two cups and
saucers, teapot, cream jug, butter
plate, toast rack, marmalade jar and
small breakfast plate.
Smaller but equally convenient Is
a combination salt and pepper shaken
set in a little stand which holds a
glass butter plate and knife. The
stand has a curved handle, which
makes 1t easy to lift from the main
tray when not in use
Another convenience is the tea:
spoon with perforations that makes 1t
possible to send up a jug of boiling
water and have tea Just the right
strength.

Tamale Pie.

Take one large chicken, joint as
for fricassee, salt and pepper each
piece and roll In flour. Have ready a
frying pan, containing part lard and
part butter; fry each piece of chicken
in this until brown, then place chicken
in stew pot and add one can of toma-
toes; one large onion that has been
sliced and fried; two or three red or
green peppers. and a small piece Of
garlic; add a little water and the
gravy that the chicken was fried in.
Let stew until tender. Thicker gravy
and turn into baking dish, take one
cup of olives and drop them into the
stew, slice four hard boiled eggs over
top, and cover with rich pie crust and

than the coupons on mining stock.

CHAPTER VII.
We Make an OmeIet,

1t was Betty Mercer who said she
was hungry, and got us switched from
the delicate subject of which was the
thief to the quite as pressing subjecv
;of which was to be the cook. Aunt
Selma had slept quietly through the
whole thing-we learned afterward
that she customarily slept on her left
side, which was on her good ear. We
gathered in the Dallas Browns room.
and Jimmy proposed a plan.
1--WE can have anything sent in that
we want" he suggested speciously,
"and If Dal doesn't make good with
the city fathers, you girls can get
some clothes anyhow. Then, we can
have dinner sent from one of tho
hotels"

SouI-Thlrst For God.

The soul thirsts after God because
nothing else can satisfy. 1t Is great
thing to learn that lesson. Estranged
from God through the first transgres-
sion, the soul naturally seeks salts
faction in things material and carnal
rather than in things spiritual and
eternal Not until brought to an over
mastering sense and consciousness OF
The utter emptiness of all earthly
things and their inadequacy to salts
fy the higher demands of the soul.
will man give place to the longings
of the heart after God. 1t Is second
thirst. Every mans first thirst is at
ter carnal things. and turning from
these unto things spiritual and unto
unbounded thirst for God, is most
wonderful transition.
No man ever thirsts after God in
vain. He is both able and willing to
supply every need Of all his creatures.
and since the redemption of the soul
Is so precious, why should he with.
hold any good thing from us?
