NOT TIE WORST DISASTER
Miss Thornton Could Overlook the
! SoiIing of Her Silk Dress on
This Occasion.

Miss Thornton, dressed with taste
full precision, chose her. seat in the
street car with the air of one who is
habitually careful of her apparel. She
looked with an instant's satisfaction
upon the starchy cleanliness of the
very little girl beside her, and then
turning to the window thought nc
more of her seatmate until, after q
long ride, SIC became conscious of a
moist feeling on her knee.
"Why, what is this?" she asked
with considerable veXaticn, for it was
certainly annoying to discover sew
eral large spots on the folds Of he1
che rished silken frock
The child, who had been doing
woke with a start and gazed with as
constituent at the limp handkerchie
she was holding, and had been hold
ing during her little nap, over Mis-
Thorntons dress.
20, it's all gone!" she exclaimed
with a stifled sob of disappointm
What is all gomez" demanded Mis-
Thornton, dabbing her handkerchie
ruefully and little angrily at the dis
ccloreG silk. What were you carry
ing that made such a muss?"
"It was big and dandy ice cream
peach. It was awful good, know, blu

the settlement party, cause l wante
to take it home to mother, for sh
never even seen one like it, and nov
it's-it's nothing, and nobody'H eve
eat it."
The little girls tone of hopeless RI
gret suddenly made the ruin of hant
scme silk gown seem paltry compare
with the tremendous loss Of an ic
cream peach. Miss Thornton took tn
| small, damp hand in hers and said, i
| her gentlest voice: 81 am quite sur
| dear, that we can find another ic
cream peach for your mother, or SOM
thing ~lse-just as big and dandy

A Prophecy.

"The bill met with an enormous re-
ception," said Mayor Baehr of Cleve-
land, discussing a measure that had
failed. Its reception was, in fact, as
ominous as that accorded to the
Christmas melodrama in the two-night
stand.
"a Observation-Disclosures at Christ

there was a fair audience; but when,

DOES NOT WANT
WILLIAM H. LEWIS
CON, CON. REsclNDED ITS Ac-
TloN OF INVITING coLoRED
MAN TO SPEAK.
SAYS IT is NO SLAP AT HIM
Delegate Harris Said In His Remarks
That the Action Was Mo Af-
front to Federal
Attorney.

Columbus.-The constitutional con-
vention neatly backtracked from its
former action in inviting w. II. Lewis,
colored assistant attorney general of
the United States, to address it. On
motion of Delegate Harris of Hamil-
ton county, the convention recon
sidered its invitation and ended by
referring its invitation to the COM
mittee on rules. This means virtually
a resembling of the invitation.
In moving for reconsideration of the
vote, Mr.. Harris said he meant no dis
courtesy to the invited guest, but ar
gued that the convention must save
its time. Delegate Bowdle of Cincin-
natl, who presented the invitation
resolution, and who as result, faced
the charge that he was bidding for the
colored vote in Hamilton county in
his prospective race for the congress
sional seat of Nick Longworth, inef-
fectually opposed reconsideration.
However, none of the delegates went
on record in resembling the invitation,
the vote being vive voce.
Resume Peck Resolution.
The convention resumed considera-
ton of the Peck proposal at once and
succeeded in adding one important
compromise amendment before busi-
ness ended. The amendment provides
that except when the court of appeals
Itself declares a law unconstitutional
the supreme court may not so do un-
less at least five of the six members
of the supreme court are Of the opin-
ion that the law is unconstitutional.
Adjournment Date.
May II is the day on which the con-
stitutional convention would like to
finish its work, although there is still
some question If the work will be
completed by that time. The conven-
ton went so far as to adopt the Beatty
resolution, which provides for cessa-
tion of work April 26, resumption of
work May 6, and final adjournment
May IL, but the general understand
ing was that the resolution is meant
only to set tentative date toward
which the work can be adjusted. In
the meantime, the time limit for de-
bate is to be shortened.

the other day:

were remarkable even In his boyhood
here in Peoria.
"I as boy, was rather gusher my
self. once went to a matinee with
Hibben. The play was one of Daly's-
a sentimental piece-and in the second
act / began to bltbber. Miss Rehan
spoke beautifully her silly, sentimental
lines, and big tears flowed one after
another from my eyes.
"'Why, you're crylng;' whispered
Hibben.
"'Well, said !. In play as sad as
this, | amt ashamed to show a little
feeling.

and teary cheeks. Oh he said, feel

FIRE EATING STUNT FAILS
Eureka Man Loses His Teeth and
Also Confidence in the Sala-
mandric Experiment.

Youngstown. = George Kelsey, re-
siding at Eureka, was very badly
burned and lost two teeth while try
ing to initiate fire eater he had seen
perform at vaudeville show in
Youngstown. George recently at
tended the performance and was
particularly taken with the act
in which the fire eater soaked
ball of cotton in alcohol,
lighted 1t and apparently swallowed it.
1t looked so easy Kelsey wanted to
show friends the trick, he accordingly
got the flaming ball of cotton in
his mouth, but it failed to go out. A
friend, in trying to aid the frightened
and squirming Kelsey, knocked out
two of his teeth. George will get over
the injuries received, but he will never
look the same.

oMELETs IN PAPER BAG.

The process of folding an omelet is
solved when cooked la paper bag.
as the bag is well creased and the egg
mixture poured in and the bag laid on
the rack; in five minutes lower the
heat little and cook fifteen minutes.
Any variation may be made, adding
chopped chicken, ham, parsley or
is cooked In paper bag 1t is well to
carry It, bag and all, on a platter to
the table, and serve from the bag.
A Plain omelet.-Beat very light
three eggs, separating the yolks from
the whites. Add to the yolks ta-
blespoon of flour. Melt a teaspoonful
OF baking powder and quarter Of a
teaspoon OF salt Melt tablespoonful
Of butter in pint of milk; beat it
gradually into the yolks. The milk
must be hot; then fold in the stiff1y-
beaten whites of the eggs. Pour into
buttered bag and bake fifteen min
utes.
Chicken omeIet.-When preparing
the omelet and using chicken, add a
little more -four to the eggs, then just
before putting into the bag fold in a
cupful Of minced chicken, seasoned
with onion juice or celery. For ham
omelet leave out half the amount of
-four, and If the ham is salt, all of
the salt. Water may be used instead
of milk, adding more butter. Grind
the ham and season to taste with a
pinch Of sugar. Put the ham in be.
fore folding in the whites. Mix and
cook fifteen minutes in well-buttered
bag in hot oven at first.
Spanish omelet.-Chop very fine
one stalk Of celery, green pepper
scalded in boiling water, one small
onion, one large tomato, salt, pepper
and dash of Worcestershire sauce
Mix we'll and cook until tender in q
little butter. Make a six-egg omelet
for this amount of seasoning, and coob
as above.
An omelet is dish that may be
served at any meal, and is especially
good for breakfast and luncheon dish
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1912-04-19

varied by different flavors, browning
the sugar makes n delicious flavoring
for a custard. Melt the sugar after
browning by adding the silk; stir un-
til dissolved, then beat in the eggs
and put to bake in hot water. A
grating of nutmeg or vanilla is good
fiavoring for baked custard.
Bread puddings are another type,
and may be varied in flavor by the
or chocolate. The foundation for all
such puddings is the same: pint Of
milk, two eggs, cup Of bread cut in
cubes and half cup Of sugar. Stir
occasionally while cooking, flavor with
chocolate, square or two, and serve
with cream.
The steamed pudding Is another
type. This may be a simple batter
and fresh fruits may be added in lay
ers and steamed; II In cups fifteen to
twenty minutes; If in larger mold
the time for steaming will be longer
The sauce for plain pudding with
fresh fruit is always cream, but when
spice, chocolate and other flavors are
used the following sauce Is better:
Take two eggs, separate the whites
from the yolks, and beat well. Add a
fourth Of cup of sugar and vanilla
to taste. Serve uncooked mixing the
whites lightly, not to lose the air beat
en- in.
A dish Of peaches or pears with
bread and butter is good dessert,
but when one wants to piece out the
can of peaches and make them serve
more, a dessert called Peach Snow
drift may be served, which may be
served with whipped cream and the
juice of the peaches. Cook together
a cup Of milk, two tablespoonfuls Of
! flour; cool and fold in the whites of
four eggs beaten stiff. Pour over
peaches or pears and serve from the
dish.
