IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES


It was late at night and most Of the
guests at the waldorf had retired,
Bob Mcintyre, the clerk, was sitting
back OF the desk with his feet cooked
UP on a shelf and he was rabout half
asleep when the hotel reporter hove in
sight, and blew two rings from his
stogy which encircled Mr.. McIntyres
head like a halo, and caused that gen
tleman to exclaim:
TN hades, just as / expected! Smell
the sulphur!"
After he had been awakened and
was handed a 10 cent cigar. he unlim-
bered and said:
when / was on my vacation down
at one of the lakes in Minnesota, ]
came to a little village which had a wee
bit of a hotel. The house was full and
the accommodating landlady gave ms
her room for the night.
Just make yourself at home for the
night said she to me, I hope you'll
find everything you want.
And / did.
THE next morning when I came
down stairs she asked me how / had
slept and I said all right and then ]
remarked that i had used some Of the
excellent toothpowder that / had found
in a little pink jar that was OIL the
dresser.
"'ToothpowderT she fairly scream
ed. That was the remains Of my dead
and lost Samuel. Them was his
ashes
"I didn't wait for breakfast after ]
found put that she had had her hus-
bands remains cremated and that
what | had been using for my teeth
was him."
William O'Hern of Minneapolis was
a guest yesterday at the Waldorf, and
was talking most entertainingly of the
recent state fair that was held in the
twin cities by the state of Minnesota.
I'VE had the best fair I think the state
ever put up said he, "buJ don't be-
lieve that it was as well attended as
IN previous years. / don't know why
this is, unless it be for the reason that
nine out of ten farmers who generally
go to fairs were too busy this year
with their crops to give attention to a
little thing like a state fair, I have
been told by the head men of the fair
that any year that shows good crops
through the northwest you may look
for small attendance at the fair. Still,
there were big crowds in attendance
this year, and all who were there APP
peared to be satisfied. There was a
North Dakota farmer talking to me
this morning said he, "and he was
angry at me when / began to ask him
what his yield was in wheat. He
jumped on me with two feet and &C
cused me of coming up this way Just
Ito find out what / could about the
yield, so as to go hack home and that
what I would tell would nave an effect
on the market. He took the position
that if the people in the twin cities
found out there was a big yield Ii
North Dakota ii would cut down the
prices. In vain I tried to explain that
the people down there knew fully as
much about the condition il not more
than he did; that it was their business
Ito know, but it was no use, and so
left him alone in his glory

Cheap EIaverina.

Prepared celery salt is more or less
expensive when one compares it with
the cost at which it can be made at
home. Get 10 cents worth of celery
seed and grind it quite ine-like black
pepper; then mix with 1t fine table
salt. About ten parts of salt to one
of celery is nice, but you can make it
to suit your taste. Put it into small
bottles and cork well. You will have it
always ready and will find it n Of
the best favorings for soups, meats
and stews, and it is certainly cheap
enough.

over one-half cupful OF ground pecan
meats pour one-half cupful Of Edam
cheese, melted. Season with one-halt
~teaspoonful salt and a good dash Of
paprika. Spread between whole wheat
bread sliced moderately thin.
The thinner the bread can be cut In
very even slices and the more neatly
the slices can be put together the more
appetizing the sandwich. For dainty
mouthfuls the crusts should be remov.
ed and the sandwiches cut in fancy
shapes. For everyday or picnic lunch,
cons the children need the crusts, Dc
not throw such bread trimmings away,
they can be crisped and served with
soup, and the touch Of seasoning or
them makes a really delicious bite
Dc not put them in the soup but cal

1.-THE GREAT TITANIC"

Off the banks of icy Newfoundland
Two thousand fathoms deep,
Lie the great Titanic's victims,
In their watery graves, asleep.
Onward, sped the giant vessel,
Onward, headlong to her doom.
Filling hearts and homes with sad
ness,
Shrouds the whole world into gloom.
Many brave and noble brother
Perished, but to save some soul,
Fond farewell, to loved ones bidding
while the nearer waters roll"
"Be British, men," the captain
shouted.
All grew calm, at this command.
With steady step and added courage,
Strong men reached a helping hand.
While the S. o. S. call sounded
Men through darkness CROPPED their
way,
Praying some far, distant vessel
Hasten! and the call obey.
Sinking! flashed the message
clearly,
Sinking meath the mighty wave.
Thousand voices swell in chorus
Look to Jesus,-He can save"
Guide me, Oh! thou great Jehovah"
Rang out DER the boundless sea,
Family sweetly-strains re-echoed,
Nearer Oh! my God to thee"
Sinner! Will you be loyal captain
To yourself, and God be true
Will you stand among the victors
With the Band" of faithful few?
Stella o. McDougall, Madelia.
