Golf has its humors. and this

CARE AND USE OF CASSEROLE
Have Proper Treatment, and This
Advice IL Good.

Before using casserole for the first
lime, 1t is well to temper it; this Is
best done by covering 1t with cold
water. Then letting the water come
to the boiling point, remove from the
fire, and let the casserole remain In
the water until 1t is cold.
Under no circumstances let the cas-
serole be put on the stove without
water or fat In 1t; IL this Is done the
dish will crack.
Avoid sudden changes OF tempera
turn with the casserole; that is, do not
take 1t from the hot stove or oven
and place 1t In cold water or In a
wet sink; this will prove disastrous
to the dish.
Casserole cooking requires only
moderate heat; If something is being
cooked In the casserole at the same
time that intense heat is required
for something else. take the precau-
ton of setting the casserole In pan
OF water.
In cooking anything in casserole.
1t Is well to allow twice the time for
cooking that would be required were

car has stopped and her cousin. Dick
French, is too muddled with drink to

which Is run by professional racer
named Lestrange. The latter fixes up
the Ffrench car and directs Miss French
how to proceed homeward. Ethan
Ffrench has disinherited his son, who
has disappeared. He informs Emily
plainly that he would like to have her

irresponsible fellow: 1t appears that a
partner of Ethan Ffrench wanting an ex-

events, has engeged Lestrange. and at
the Ffrench factory Emily encounters the
young man. They refer pleasantly to
their meeting when Dick comes along and
recognizes the young racer. Dick likes
the way Lestrange ignores their first
meeting when he appeared to disad-
vantage. Lestrange tells Emily that he

Thirty years is a long time to carry

At the age of twenty, being then

a village girl, and perhaps there would
have been a marriage in time had not
a young man from the city interfered-

not depart from the policy he had
mapped out. He married nice girl,
but as wife she could not even argue
with him on the crouch That was

Children came to the family. The
mother would have taught them many
little things the times demanded, but
the father opposed. The worst licking
his son Harry got during his youth
was administered for raising his cap
to a merchants wife, and the worst

for saying Yes, SIR to a dude of a

and uncouth, with Just the rudiments
of an education, and the father smiled
as he thought how he was beating

A nice young man fell in love with
Miss Cally, and for a long time she
failed to realize that he came under

collars and cuffs would have been

him to the door.
When the girl did realize this it was
too late. She loved in return, and her
aunt encouraged her. George was the
son of a fairly wealthy man and love
resulted in an engagement 1t was
