The Soldiers Relief committee in
their report stated that the sum raised
for the relief of INDECENT soldiers and
sailors was insufficient to provide for
their wants. Although some Of those
on the list had died the past year 9th
ers were becoming more feeble and
needed more help. At the last session
of the legislature a. law was passed that
county boards could levy from l-5 to
l-20 of mill on all taxable property
of the county for this purpose. The
committee recommended that LIP or
lis of mill be levied for the fund.
The committee reported that they were
acting judiciously in the distribution of
aid, but that many of the old soldiers or
widows were needy and according to
law were entitled to assistance.

of the asylum submitted by the trustees

Chill Con Carne.

From remotest Mexico comes this
recipe for chilli con carne. which is
capable of warming whatever cookies
the heart may have and Of diffusing
calories to ones works at large: First
comes fire of logs in the open. Second
comes an ola Of generous proportions.
Into the ola put gallon Of water and
plenty Of the hot chilis, and in that
region Of Mexico they ripen so hot that
not even the rattlesnake will dare take
refuge in their shade. Upon this be-
ginning lay as much Of a side Of beef
in one piece as may be squeezed into
the pot. Set the cover on this ola and
lutte it down with clay. Then put the
pot into the fire and heap the glowing
Goals all over it, with particular atten-
ton to the lid. 80 that the luting may
bake into brick. Keep the fire burning
slowly. all day long. When night has
come scatter the embers. break the
brick seal Of the ola, fork out and
throw away whatever Of the meat re-
-Iains solid. The remainder is the chilli
con carne. No sauce is needed.

Tho Conscience of Clara.

: One day when Mrs. Bell was max.
ing a neighborly call on Mrs. Ellis
the latter. in the presence o; her
caller. discharged her colored maid.
whose obstreperousness could be
borne with no longer.
A few weeks later Mrs. Bell again
called on Mrs. Ellis. and to her sur
prise her hostess informed her that
Clara was back.
The services of the maid were re-
quired by her mistress. who pressed
the button in the drawing room.
There was. however. no response.
Finally Mrs. Ellis went out and
waited on herself. While she WAS
gone Clara. who was acquainted with
Mrs. BelL having served in her fam
lily also. jput her head in at the door
and explained:9

The Love Affairs Of Handel.

Women greatly admired Handel.
who was very handsome, but the
serenity of the composer seems only
to have been ruf1ed twice by love on
his part His first attachment was to
a London girl, member Of the aris-
tocracy. Her parents believed him
beneath her in social position. but were
good enough to say that if be alb
stained from writing any more music
the question Of marriage might be en-
tertained 1t was easier to abstain
from their daughter than from his art
and he did so. Years after almost the
same thing occurred. Handel and an
other bea utiful pupil of his fell in love
with each other, and proud parents
gave him the choice between giving
up his profession or their daughter.

~ ne of the most impor-
VDH tant matters before the
people of Winslow and

the city council at the present
time, is the naming of the
streets and the numbering Of
the business houses and resi-
dences, not only on plats,
etc., as they are now, but In
real numbers on every house,
and sign-boards on every cor
ner, with the name Of the
streets.
Winslow is getting to be
quite a city and we see no
good reason why this matter
may not just as we'll be taken
mp at the present time as IN
the future. There are nu-
merous towns not near as
large as Winslow, that have
these facilities (rather neces-
sities), and it seems to us that
the sooner we get these little
things arranged, the better it
will be for all the people con-
cerned, including the mer-
chant who has deliveries to
make, any person who wishes
to direct some party to his
place of residence or a stran-
ger wishing to locate some
certain party.
AS it now is, you may stop
some of the oldest residents
Of the town, people who have
lived here virtually all their
lives, and ask them the name
Of certain street or streets,
and they will eye you as
though you were loc 0 e d.
Don't know.
In case you want some de-
liveries made to your home Of
some certain articles or want
to direct a stranger, it's a case
of the old story they tell Of a
party directing another which
as near as we can relate it, is
as follows: "You go two
blocks straight that way, turn
and go that way and you will
see a little yellow house with
a green fence around it; well,
that isn't the one, but go a
few blocks further in the other
direction and in the middle of
the block you will see a house
with lightning rods on it, that
is the house you are look
ing for
Now, to our way of think
ing, these things can be ar
ranged very easily and at a
very small cash outlay, con-
sidering the convenience, the
price would be rediCulouSlv
small. Insomuch as the num-
bers are concerned, after the
Council arranged them for
the respective blocks, every
house-owner would gladly see
to it that his residence would
be numbered for his own con
venience, if for no other rea-
son. 1t would not make any
difference whether the same
was painted, metal numerals
or the many other ways and
means Of numbering a house,
so long as it had number.
Ofcourse it would be up to
the City Council to furnish
street sign boards, say a board
of about 2 feet by 6 inches,
