"There's a Reason for Rain.


The following telegram was sent by
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau, to the Battle
Creek Industrial association in regard to
G. w. Posts claim of producing rain at
Battle Creek during the night Of July %:
You telesraphed this office last night
that four hours ~dynamiting beginning at
8 o'clock Tuesday brought half an inch
OF rainfall at Battle Creek beginning at
$3.50 In the afternoon, and you say people
are satisfied the Post system of rainmak-
ing is successful.
Your claim is without justification, as
the rain which you claim to have caused
began Monday morning In the Dakotas.
BY Tuesday morning it had covered both
Dakotas, Minnesota, upper Michigan, and
the greater part of Wisconsin. BY Tues
day evening it had extended all over low
or Michigan.
This was exactly as forecast by the
weather bureau. Your experiments had
no more to do with causing rain that fell

Cupid in Girls Clothes.

Wheeling. w. ". Telegram to the New
York Tribune.
That Cupid is entirely too wary for
severe and designing mothers was
proved here. when George Jarrett, IT
years old, was ordered by the mother
of his sweetheart, winsome little Leila
Orne. of h same age, not to see her
daughter again. Mrs. Orne gave as her
reason that the sweethearts were too
young.
The question OF age never entered
into Jarrett's consideration at all, but
when the girls mother peremptorily
ordered him to cease his visits he never
whimpered.
They can't keep us apart said
George. "rII fix a way" and he did.
Going home, George borrowed his
listers clothing and with her help he
was soon transformed into a pretty
young miss of about the same age as
his sweetheart. Jarrett then called on
Leila and her mother. thinking the
pretty young caller" was an old friend
of her daughter. admitted him.
The ruse worked for several weeks
but at last the truth was out. The
mother reiented and now George calls
as best IN.
The young couple belong to promin-
| emit families.

MELON SEASON is
NOW AT ITS HEIGHT
New Ways Of Serving Delicacy
Outlined-To Be Right, 1t
Must Be Chilled.

A melon eaten directly from the gar
den may be delicious without being
chilled, for it is presumably at it's best
and perfectly ripe. but even then it
would be improved by cooling well. The
melon that you buy, especially if it
grew many hundreds miles away was
picked before it reached the state of
out whatever flavor and sweetness
there MAJ be. but if eaten without this
preparation it is apt to have an insip-
id taste.
A melon cut in a series of points
through the center and then pulled
apart makes a pretty bit of color on
the ~sideboard, out to most people 1t is
a little too much like dexterity to eat
daintily the wedges of melon with rind
attached and this way of serving is
especially awkward for children, who
generally fail to keep the juices from
the cloth.
There are two better ways to serve
the pink flesh of a watermelon: cut
the melon in halves and press in a
sharp edged kitchen spoon, twist it
round twice each way and draw out an
egg-shaped piece. Lay these pink eggs
on cracked ice and carry to the table,
Or cut In slices two inches thick run a
small knife round to separate the rind
from the pulp, then cut in wedge
shaped pieces like a layer cake or a
pie.
Wash cantaloupes. cut in halves and
take out the seeds. Chill before serv-
ing and have powdered sugar for those
who like this addition. The cantaloupe
