CHALLENGED UCKPIN
MATCH ARRANGED
Belmont to Roll Northeast
ern League Cracks.

The principals in the much-talked
about duckpin match between a picked
team of stars from the Northeastern
crack quints of the District Duckpin
League. met last night and arranged
the details for the big event.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the
match will take place on the Royal al
leys, on Friday, December l. at o'clock
in the evening. The Royal alleys were
selected on account of being furnished
with the new duckpin spOtting device
invented by Mr.. Frank Sherman, the
proprietor of this popular bowling estab-
lishment.
The lineup of the teams will be pick
ed from the following well-known duck
pin artists:
Belmonts-Rider, Hawksworth, HALEY,
Oliver, Michaud, and Young.
Northeasterns-J. Loveless, Carroll. FL
lott, Ricketts,, OehIer, Baum, and Fow-
Ter.
The conditions of the match call for
the best two games out of three, and, as
the bowlers are among the very pick of
the District, an interesting and exciting
contest is looked for.
The original suggestion of nine games
has been passed up by the principals
take and the difficulty In arranging
dates as the majority Of the members
of both teams are affiliated with other
leagues. making considerable demands
on their time.
challenge has also been received
from the National Capital Duckpin
Lea guers, who are DESTROYS of demon
strating their ability as pin-spillers, but,
as the best bowlers of the Northeastern
ers are also members of the National
Capital, there will likely be a hitch in
arranging matters. This will be attend
ed to by the league after the present Sc
ries is over.
Samuel Loveless.. the captain of the
a. J. Bennett Company team, who has
been acting as spokesman of the North
eastern League, finds that the arranging
of such matches takes up too much of
his time, and fatty refuses to bother
with any more. though not receding any
from the position taken by him, and
suggests that teams wishing to bowl
them address the Northeastern League
direct or the owner of their home alleys,
Sam Cornwell, who viii accommodate
all teams.

is sure to happen, as first place depends
on this series. Carry brick in every
pocket, and be prepared for the worst"
What some of the bowlers are thank
full for:
Sam Cornwell-That he has one of the
fastest duckpin leagues in the District.
Burdine-That the bear he was going
can.
Krauss-That his team, the Manhat-
tans, has the pennant all but nailed to
the flag pole.
Shaffer-Isn't yet;. but will be if the
Saengers win out.
Careful he can bring his hide back
without having 1t punctured with buck
shot on his hunting trip.
Watson-That he hasn't lost that fog
horn voice.
Redeker-That the season is still young
enough to get a good game in-maybe
Van Buskirk - That the Chamberites
are not in the same position as the
Census team in the standing.
Percy Levy-That he has located the
seat of his troubles.
The Belmont team-That record score
of go.
Pete Mendell-That he got in" any
way.
Among the superstitious bowlers, both
Kubel and Lawrence, of the Saenger-
bund League, take high rank, according
to story told by Henry Hagemann,
from which it appears that the last time
the Wagners bowIed Lawrence was pre-
scented with guaran;eed-tO-be-luclI
rabbits foot. which he carried in his
trousers pocket. Friend Kubel was the
donor of the luck-hrInpinP charm and
all would have been we'll had not the
foot started walking out of Lawrence's
pocket, and thus gave the whole snap
away.

METHOD AND ECONOMY.

Dear Cornerers:-Wou1d you like to know how I am getting ready for my summer vacation? The month of February is not the month for travel. or outdoor life; but it is the month when for 8 small sum of money you can get from the stores remnants of various kinds of goods, which can be purchased and put away to be made up into Christmas gifts during the summer vacation. Thinking I might be of help to some young housekeep er will give some sugg estions which I have found helpful:
 I have a Christmas box, which is a wooden soap box covered inside and out with. cretonne, and as fast as get Christmas gift ready it is put away in this box. visit the bookstores and always find many desirable books. marked way down in price. l have in mind when buying just whom to give books, and purchases are made intellf- gently and put away in the box. 1 buy several grass linen handxerchiefs. remnants of lace insertion and edginR. and see in my minds eye heflstitched or ace-trimmed handkerchiefs whose value would be at least fifty or seve- enty-five cents, and only cost me a quarter. This is pretty work for the hotel piazza or camping under the trees by the lakeside. When finished they are carefully put away in the box, ready for some dear friend when Christmas comes.
 Another thing I buy is pretty bits of fine white apron material, with muslin embroidery remnants, and satin rib- bona u0sally make ID euzts . num-

TO ENTERTAIN A SICK CHILD.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: -- At this season. when sickness Is so prevalent and when mothers of conva- lescing children find it so hard to keep them quiet and contented, want to tell the mothers of the Corner of some this:
 Before tho child could sit up lonx. strips of brown paper are tackled to the wall. and on this the mother past ed pictures cut from old magazines, and told a story about each: or she told a long story, illustrating as the story progressed. When the child was mbio to ait up q home made tray, long enough Go rest on the arms of a Morris chair. wa1 used as playground for paper dolln or, tin soldiers, and a rim around the tray Kept them from falling on, old pictures having been cut out of books all ready to be pasted into a scrap book. This furnishes much pleasure for awhile; but a sick child soon tires of one thing, and new ones must constantly be supplied
 For a treat an ordinary balItnS- pan was filled with moistencd sand and put upon the tray for the little invalid to play farmer. With toothpicks for fences. sprfss of cedar for orchards and the animals of Noaf's ark, he amused himself by the hour. When tired of playing alone the mother en- tertained him by moulding the various formations of land and rater, such as gulfs, mountains. etc, and the child gained knowledge as well as pleasure.
 Often soaked beans with toothpcks were given him. and with these he made various funny objects. These ideas might be elaborated upon as much as one wisi1ed, and the mother who can while away the tedious hours of her child's. conyalescezice has not labored in vain.

PALATAsLE DISHES.

Dear Editor and Sisters of Social Corner: Just a few well-tested reef pes, hoping they may help some sis ter or reader of the column:
 Salmon Loop-Drain off the oil from a can of salmon, pick out all bones and skin, flake the fish fine. then add one well-beaten egg juice of half lem teaspoons of milk, salt and pepper to taste Pack in . buttered pan and bake half an hour.
 Pruns Dssssrt-Toast slices of stale cake of any kind, cookies as well, in the juices you may have left over from preserved peaches, pears or any fruits. Put into baking dish and pour over q pint of milk You can frost 1t with the white of one egg and q teaspoon of powdered sugar. It is delicious; try it.
 prune psssrt-Toast slices of stale bread, and butter each slice: lay on platter then pour ntewed prunes sweet ened to taste over them. Heap whip ped cream on each sl3ce and serve at once. You can use stewsa apples as we'll
 Fruit Brsad-when your bread Is ready for baking take out enough for one loaf. roll out thin, spread with butter and sugar and q Mttle nutmeg; roll out two or three times. then work in good cup of raisins. Bake in the usual way

from a distance they get shaken up more or less, and it is . good plan to let them rest 9 day to get settled. Gather them several times a day dur Keep in a warm place, standing on end, and turn them every day. The newest laid will hatch earliest. Pull cts eggs are not as good to hatch as hens eggs; neither are the chicks as strong and healthy.
 Some say the long eggs hatch cock erels. and the rounder eggs bullets: but if one knew that their fortune would be made. The round ones, the unevenly shaped, extremely large, or small, mottled, or with Jumps on, 1 never save. To get good eggs, pick out few of my best-looking yearlins hens and cockrel. It is just as eas.. to have good looking stock as a lot of "mutts." Good-looking ones lay just as well, and if the nefghbors and friends drop in as they wfil in ths coountry, they may qbe interested if you have pen of nice ones. You can sell a good many eggs at good price.
 Of course, there arc always some who will want to buy the eggs you carry to market, but usually if you say you can have those at market price, but can't guarantee that they will hatch, or be satisfactory, nine times out of ten they will take the best. l
 
 their mother leaves them. I never all low over % in a coop. paint the coop once a week with kerosene, with & little crude carbolic in it, to keep them free from lice and disease, and turn the coops up to let the sun in all all right for chicks in spring and sum- mer mornings but they must have shade in hot weather. M
 If have no other shade I put posts up with buriap stretched across. It is good for them to run under when bottles and everything bright to scare them away, but some don't scare cas- fly. I suppose the best way is to have a little yard covered on top. and with boards put into the ground about four inches, to keep out slEunks, cats and all other enemies. A windmill that makes a noise is fine to scare the hawks.
 I wonder if all the sisters know what a fine feed bran is for all animals: horses cows, hens. chickens, etc. The coarse kind is best. It Is the best part of the wheat and should be left in. keep bran before my chickens all the time; also a little pan or box with fine charcoal shallow enough 70 that they can get right into it. It is the best medicine in the world for them They will get .awfully dirty. but 1t is good for them. make drinking dishes by inch from the top, and after 1t is filled with water, turning 1t oyer into slhal- low dish so they can't get drowned or get the water dirty.
 I wash all the dishes once a week with crude carbolic or some good dis- infectant. I put litter from the mow with millet seed, fine slit corn or otl- er small grain for them to scratch for exercise. You may have noticed that chickens do well the first year, but next year they will seldom do well on the. same land unless winter rye has been sown there to take the inl- purities out.
