THE COUSINS.

IoHN lived on the farm, and, like
all boys who live In the country
~ he could milk the cows and drive
the oxen and feed the pigs, and
do all the things that have to be done
on a farm.
JOINS Cousin Charles lived in the city
Sonn visited him once, and the memory
or that visit was not pleasant. First
MS clothes were not like those worn by
the city boys, and Charles had said they
were "countryfied;" then John did not
know the games the boys In the city
played, and, altogether. the memory OF
the visit brought bitter thoughts.
1t was two years since that visit, and
now Charles was coming to the farm ia
spend the summer
John drove to the station to meet him,
but both boys had changed so much
they did not recognize each other until
the train pulled away from the station.

As they drove home John told Charles
all the points of interest and showed
him the big pond where they, skated in
summer.
This is the schoolhouse," he told
him. where we have oyster suppers
and hold dances when we have sleigh
ing parties"
"You must have great fun here in the
winter" said Charles.
I'VE do" replied John; you know
there isn't much to be done on a farm
In the winter, and we have candy pulls
at the different farm houses and we
skate by moonlight and build fire on
Oh. it isn't so bad living in the coun-
try" he said with a laugh.
The next morning when Charles went
out to the barn John was milking.

You are not used to getting up so

"Ar right" said John, "go and change
your clothes"
John smiled to himself. HE thinks
it is easy" he said. well I'll let him

Charles came back dressed In an old
pair of trousers and shirt turned away
at the neck and the sleeves rolled up.
DO you happen to have an extra
large straw hat?" he asked.

when we go in to breakfast"
John gave Charles his seat on the
stool, and Charles took the pail be-

enough, the milk fell in streams into it.

But. try as he would, he could not get
the milk
'It looks easy enough," he said, but
] do not know how; will you teach
me?"
John said he would, and by breakfast
time Charles could manage to get a
little milk into the pail, but he felt
that he had much to learn. ....
Cant I feed the hens?" said Charles
That cannot be very hard"
John told him to get the corn from

Sauce Tartare Piquant
Dressing For Salads

Sauce tartare which Is so easy to
make If one has mayonnaise on hand.
is one Of the most useful sauces. 1t is
not only a good old standby for fish
and fried oysters, but it is delicious
with asparagus salad and other salads
prepared from fresh vegetables 1t may
be used also with chicken. broiled kid
neys, boiled tongue, and various meats
The favoring in this delicious sauce
may vary with the, taste, but they are
usually about the same, differing mainly
in proportions. Sometimes thick cream
is beaten through the sauce. and few
minced olives may be added.
To prepare the sauce add scant half
pint of mayonnaise sauce, two table,
spoonfuls of capers, one small shallot.
two ounces of cucumber pickle. and
one tablespoonful of parsley, all chop
ped fine. One-quarter of a rather small
onion may be>used instead Of the shall
lot, but, of cddse it Is not as good.

Marion's mother was Ill. and the aunt
who took her place at the head OF the
household piled the children with un.
accustomed and sometimes disliked ar.
ticles of diet. One day. after being com.
PEELED to eat onions, Marion refused tc
say grace.
Then you must sit at the table unit
you are ready to say it," was the aunt's
stern judgment. An hour or SO later
when the brilliant sunshine and i'm.
patient calls of her comrades together
comprised an irresistible appeal, Marion
capitulated-thus:
"Oh, Lord. make me thankful for hav.
ing had to eat horrid old onions, IL you
can do 1t. But l know you cant."-Chi-
