wrestling match is arranged. BY
nine o'clock all lights are out and
the man who has the temerity to
keep his light burning after that hour
will be lucky If some boots or socks do
not find their way in his direction.
The bunk houses are sometimes
models OF cleanliness, but the lumber
jack is like average humanity and If
no external influence is brought to
bear upon him he does not make
much of an effort to keep himself
clean. Unless the management makes
rules or the turnkey carefully attends
to his duties in keeping things clean,
the bunk houses are apt to become
filthy.
Sunday is wash day, and If stream
or river Is at hand the lumber jacks
can be seen lined up along the bank

violate the. rules Of the house wife
when she does her laundry. Instead
of rubbing the clothes and trying to
free them from dirt first they boil
them at once. The result is that
though the clothes may be clean, they
certainly do not look it. Boiling the
clothes has at least one good effect.

was located near lumber camp. The
lumber jacks released from all re-

and 1t was wild time for a while.
With the advent Of civilization and
law and order these raids of the Ium-

Try to Avoid Car Shortage.

Wisconsin and other northwestern
states face a car shortage unparalleled
since 1907. Traffic managers of lead
ing western railroads, cooperating
with the Association of Western Rail
ways. are writing letters to shippers
forecasting a scarcity of rolling stock
within the next thirty days unless all
interests cooperate for the prompt
handling of shipments. Following this
advice. the Wisconsin railroad CON-
mission is notifying leading manufac-
turers of the impending danger. It
recommends that orders for future
shipments be placed as soon as posi-
bic and that every effort be made to
load and unload equipment so that
there may be no delay in holding cars

TRACED TO RACING STABLES
Slang Phrase, Getting His Goat" So
Popular Now, Had Origin In
Actual Occurrence.

Unlike many other vivid or pictur-
esque slang expressions, which en-
rich and enliven the English language.
but the source of which is either OBJ
scure or totally unknown, the origin
of the phrase, ito get his goat" can
fortunately be traced. Until 1t came
into popular use, about half a dozen
years ago, the phrase was confined to
racing stables and to running horses
and was part of the language of the
racetrack
1t was formerly the rather wide
spread custom among owners Of rae
ing stock to keep goat in the same
stall with horse, either from the
superstitious belief in mascots or
from the more scientific belief that
the goat impaired some of his
strength or magnetism to the horse.
Ardent friendships have been known
to spring up between goats and
horses living thus In close intimacy
and sleeping together
When horse that had the compan-
ionship of a goat CHANGED to win the
jockeys would attribute his succesa
to the influence Of the goat, and IL
happened more than once that a
stable boy would get the goat" of the
winning horse by entering the stable
surreptitiously at night and taking the
animal to the stall of his own favorita
If the horse that was deprived OF his
goat friend should lose the next dav
and the other horse should win 49,
would, of course. strengthen the belief
in the efficacy Of the goat.
The practice of relying on goats to
help horse win race is said TO ba
dying out, but it has left behind one
OF the most expressive phrases, which
seems destined ultimately to become
as respectable as any English idiom.

ON YOUR BAKING DAY.

Light. tender doughnuts are made
with a cupful of sugar, teaspoonful
of butter. two eggs and a cupful of
milk. Mix in a scant pint of flour
that has been sifted, with two round-
ing teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
making a paste that is soft. Stand
the boWl containing it on the ice un-
til 1t Is very cold and then roll it out
and fry before it loses it's shape. The
idea is to make the paste a little soft
er than can be rolled before it is
stlff with cold and so to use as little
flour as possible. The douehnuts
should be turned continually while
frying.
There is an old fashioned cake

COOKERY POINTS.
Fried Chicken.

Fried chicken is a favorite treat.
Do not neglect the gravy, which to
many Is the best feature of the entire
dish. To fry chicken cut a small
chicken in four or six pieces, dip
each piece hastily in cold water,
then sprinkle with salt and pepper
and roll the pieces in plenty of flour.
Have some sweet lard heated very
hot in a frying pan and fry the
chicken unutil each piece is Of q
rich brown hue on both sides. Take
up, drain we'll and arrange the pieces
on a warm platter, setting the dish
in a hot place to keep the meat from
cooling while the gravy Is being made.
Pour out of the pan all but table,
spoonful of the fat and stir into the
pan one cupful Of milk. When the
liquid is hot and we'll stirred thicken
to rich cream with one tablespoon
full of flour rubbed in smooth and
one tablespoonful of butter. Boil two
or three minutes, stirring constantly.
Season with salt and pepper. A little
chopped parsley Is often added to
the gravy Butter if here used in place
of lard is difficult to manage, as It
burns so easily.
