NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon-
sbIe for Wrong Impression
Given Divine

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.
IT'S hard lingo to understand he
said. 1T often causes awkward mis-
takes.
Once an American divine spent
Christmas in a Highland inn On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of a sovereign, and he said look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
do you know, Kathleen, your are
very good-looking lassie?
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered:
All, ma; All ma. But my kissin,
sir is beautiful
The divine frowned.
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage" he said sternly.
He didn't know. you see, that mod
est Kathleen had been simply praising
in her Highland dialect. the superior
charms of her cousin Janet of Pee

RICE IN CHINESE FASHION
One Method of yellow Race That May
Well Be Copied by the
American Cook.

The Chinese method of cooking rice
differs from that Of the ordinary
housewife, and the rice when done,
instead Of being mushy, sticky
paste, is spotlessly white, perfectly
dry, with each grain standing by it
self. To attain these results pick the
rice over carefully to remove all re
fuse; then wash it through several
waters, rubbing 1t between the hands
TO remove the coating OF starchy
powder When the water is perfectly
clear you will know that the rice is
In fit condition to be cooked Have
some water boiling in a saucepan, the
proper proportions being about two
quarts of unsalted water to each half
pint of rice Sprinkle the rice in SC
so slowly that the water will scarcely
stop boiling and cook 1t at a gallop
IN order that the grains may be kept
in motion while boiling DO not stir
or touch the rice In any way after
the grains have commenced to soften
When they are done drain off all the
water and set the pan in the oven,
that the rice may swell Do not let
It cook or brown, and serve 1t as soon
as IT has become thoroughly dry
which will probably be in less than
zen minutes. Let each person salt
the rice to suit his own taste after II
has been brought to the table.

Cakemaker's Hint.

When It is necessary to make sew

trSsome beating of the batter by nut

crank results IN the fine. smooth bat

This is great Improvement over

the necessity of the washer having her

advantage of having the dishes stand

build his own forge and the only ex-

Home Carpentry for Farmers.
Among the various tasks which
should occupy the farm mechanic dur
ing the slack winter period are build
ing or repairing chicken houses, hay
racks, wagon boxes, hog racks, porta
BILE panel hurdles, farm gates and va
rious other implements. which the
amateur carpenter can successfully
construct or remodel. The matter Of
farm gates seems simple, yet on num-
bers of farms the makeshift gates
In use are a disgrace. A serviceable
and attractive gate can be easily
built with double cleats at each end
and the middle. and a double brace
running diagonally from the top of
each end cleat to the bottom of the
middle cleat for reinforcement.
The farm mechanic can use his
forge to excellent advantage in re.

odd Jobs which are continually turning
up around the farm.
Concrete Work.
The farm shop, or portion of one
of the barns where it is warm enough
to keep concrete from freezing, Is an
excellent place in which to make con-
crete feeding troughs, fence posts or
other devices during the winter The
feeding troughs are made either "
shaped or half-round like a followed
out tree trunk. The concrete posts
may be either hollow or solid, and
are REINFORCED with steel or iron
rods.
For the feeding troughs the forms
are made of green lumber, in the
form of two boxes, one about four
inches larger than the other. Turn the
smaller one upside down on a smooth
floor and put the second, which has
no bottom, around the first. Fill the
space with concrete and cover the
bottom of the smaller box four or six
inches deep to form the bottom of the
trough. After the concrete is thor
oughly hardened these forms can be
knocked off. In case OF the N3haped

FAVORS GOOD ROADS
Governor Believes They Could Be Con-
structed Legally on Adirondack
State Lands.

Albany, March I'm answer to an
inquiry last night as to whether, in
his opinion, it would be feasible to
extend state roads through the Aair'
ondacks over state lands, in view OF
the constitutional prohibition which
declares that such state lands shall

Dix declared that he thought there
was no barrier intended against the
dedication of the state land for a pur.
pose which would be for the public
benefit.
Governor Dix believes that under
this Interpretation of the law that
good roads can be constructed over
state lands and that reservoirs can be
built on state lands in the Adiron-
HACKS.
The lands would continue to be state
property under such conditions and
the reservoirs and electric energy to
he generated would be state property.
Governor Dix let it be inferred that

MILLIONAIRE COOK IN
ROMANTIC WEDDING
Mrs. Clark and Frank Smith
Married In Kansas City.

Kansas City, March T. - Details Of
the romantic midnight wedding of Mrs.
Ordelia R. Clark, widow of the late
Henry d. Clark, owner of the Orpheum
theater, to Frank Smith, the million
aire cook and brother of Mrs Charles
Fair, who, with her husband, was
killed in an European automobile ac-
cident in 1902, came to light yester-
day. The wedding was performed by
the Rev. j. NJ. Cromer at. the resi-
dence of Mrs. Clark in this city one
week ago last night.
"Our only reason for keeping the
marriage secret" said Mrs. Smith,
"was that Mr.. Smith thought best not
to create any talk among the heirs OF
MS uncle's estate back east. Mr..
Smith has just come into three million
dollars from that uncle, you know, and
he thought it just as well not to have
news of the wedding made public just
yet"
The Clark estate, Of which Mrs.
Smith has had active management, is
estimated to be worth over 100000.
Just what Mr.. Smith is worth probably
no one but Mr.. Smith knows. He was
said to have received one quarter mil
lion dollars from the estate of his late
sister, Mrs. Charles Fair. Before that
Smith was cook in a Santa Fe res
turant.
