Mr.. Elliott charges that bids for the
buildings put up in 1910 were not adyer-
tised for and that the contractor was
paid a commission on the work. The
records show that bids were advertised
In the Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke
papers and that four contractors were
present when the bids were opened and
that the contract was awarded the low
est bidder, Mr.. o. D. Oakley, Salem.
Va, for specific sum.
Mr.. Elliott states that the architect
employed was paid weekly salary and
proated by delay in the work. This is
not true as the architect was paid fee
fixed when his services were engaged.
He received no additional compensa-
ton.
MIR. Elliott also states THAI when the
chimneys to the Eve pavillions and din
ing hall were completed it was found
that the contractor, foreman and archi-
tect had forgotten to put in the fiues.
This statement Is as absurd as it is
false.

TAKE PLACE OF MEAT
DELICIOUS VEGETABLE SOUPS
FOR THE HOT WEATHER.
Something of Novelty 10 One Call
ing for Fresh Garden Peppers
onbDn Soup Brought to Per-
lection in France.

An housekeeper whose family
doesn't care very much for flesh food
in summer can find any number of de-
licious vegetable soups to take the
place of meat decoctions, and having
once formed the habit of using them
it is likely to be a. lasting one.
The following soup, calling for fresh
garden peppers, is novelty: Mince
three large peppers and three small
onions together and stew them gently,
till tender, in little butter-about
two tablespoonful brown
ing. Then thicken to paste with a
generous tablespoonful of -four and
gradually stir the mixture into a quart
of boiling milk. Season with salt and
pepper. Gradually add also, stirring
well, the yolks of three eggs. and then
remove from the fire Immediately and
serve very hot with croutons. Do not
let it cool long or it may curdle. If
one or two O. the peppers are a
bright red, instead of green, they will
lend pretty tints to the soup.
For French onion soup, which re-
turned travellers describe as food for
the gods, fry four onions in two table,
spoonfuls of butter or very nice soup
fat. The latter is to be preferred be-
cause it is cheaper When they are
quite brown add a scant half cupful
Of flour, stirring all the time. When
the -four is brown mix in carefully "a
little at time) about three pints of
boiling water or stock. Season the
whole with salt and pepper and put
the soup near the back Of the stove,
where 1t will merely simmer for half
an hour. Mash two potatoes and add
enough warm milk to them to make a
PURGE. Stir this PURGE into the soup
and II too thick add a little fresh
milk. Then strain and boil ten min
utes. Serve very hot with croutons.
The following combination of rice
and lettuce makes delicious soup:
Have ready the large leaves Of three
good-sized heads of lettuce. After
draining, chop them up and put them
in saucepan with about a fifth of a
pound Of butter and cook for Eve
minutes, stirring frequently. Stir the
whole into two quarts Of white stock.
Season with tablespoonful Of salt, a
teaspoonful of pepper. half a tea
spoonful of grated nutmeg and soup
bouquet. Stir In also four ounces Of
well-cleaned rice. Cover the kettle
and let 1t cook for three-quarters of
an hour. Then strain the soup
through fine sieve. Let the soup
heat once again, but do not let It
boil. Stir in pint of sweet cream,
and serve very hot, with croutons.

soLAcE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them, and they are schooled to
believe that at any time they may
come face to face with death. The re.
suit of this is that they are humorous
in their holiness.
In one of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon, and the fellow laborers of the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out. 1t was not until Sunday
morning, however, that they reached
his prison chamber. and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been shffocated or starved to death
One Of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks OF
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply. and then
after a pause: what day is this?"
Sunday" exclaimed the friend.
"Gee," exclaimed Jack, I'm glad OF
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
my wages. Popular Magazine.
