WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wiring, but Old Gen.
tleman Had Some Trouble With
the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple, on the ur-
gent invitation of a grandson who
lived in the city, were on for a visit.
The grandson's wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride In the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under
Its burden Of good things to eat.
In the course of the repast she no
ticed several times that the old man
seemed to be making little progress
with the meal.
What is the matter, grandfather
she asked, don't you like my dinner
NO, no, granddaughter" mumbled
the old man, at isn't that. Only I've
picked onion In my mouth. and
hain't got but one tooth left, SO it's
harder'n Sam Hill to catch it, it's sc
lively. Just rest easy spell till l gil
holt on it and I'll be all right"

Valentine Day In Ireland.

In Ireland the great feature of st.
Valentines day is the breakdown
dance. All the boys and all the girls
engaged in 1t, the couple dancing the
longest winning the coveted applause.
The victorious couple is looked upon
as we'll mated. and not infreQuently 4
wedding follows during Eastertide.
The dance itself is indeed a spec
tacle. With much ceremony the door
OF the barn is lifted from Its hinges
and the dance commenced as soon as
the fiddler or the player OF the bagpipe
orders the couples out. The floor OF
the barn is OF mud; hence the door
is laid on the ground to form a suit
able surface for the dancers. Gold
smith describes the dancers In his
Deserted VILLAGE"
THE dancing pair that simply sought re-
nown,
By holding out to tire each other down."
The absolute e-hearte edness Of
the dance and the fierceness of these
tests of endurance must be seen to
be appreciated Though the occa-
sion is one of the utmost jollity and
good will. the contestants are in dead
earnest in thei rendeavors to win.

The You,a Brides First Discovery.

Their wedding tour had ended. and they
entered their new home TO settle down 10
what they hoped TO be one long uninter-
rupted biissful honeymoon.
But alas, the young brides troubles
soon began. when she tried TO reduce the
cost Of l!.iHg wItA cheap big can taxing
powders,
She soon discovered that all she got was
q lot for her money. and II was not an
baking powder. for the bulk Of II was
cheap materials which had no leaNen- n :
power Such powders viii not make HEht,
wholesome food. And because Of the al
sence OF leayenlng gas, II requires from
two TO three times as much 10 raise cases
or biscuits as 1t does Of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus. eventually. the actual cost to
you OF cheap baking powders Is more
than Calumet would he,
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread hleachcd and acid, sometimes yel-
low and alkaline. and often uupnlataoie.
They are not always OF uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per
fectly Wholesome baking powder moder-
ate In price. and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, max es

white stone.
The Lincoln Tower was inaugur-
ated July 4, 1876. The newspapers OF
he time were crowded with accounts
Of the great centennial celebration, so
that it Is not strange that the cere-
mony OF opening the tower was over
looked.
The idea of the memorial originated
with the Hon. William E. Dodge Of
New York, who at the time was visit
ing the Rev. Newman Hall, widely
known as "the dissenter's bishop,
one OF the most popular English
preachers OF the day, Except for the
first thousand dollars, the whole cost
Of the tower, which amounted to
thirty-five thousand dollars, was con-
tributed, half in English sixpences and
half in American dimes, entirely
through the efforts of Mr. Hall, who
counted the work all JOY for the love
that he bore to Lincoln.
Southwark is district of modest
homes,-its inhabitants are people of
small means, il not actually poor
just the kind OF plain people whom
Lincoln especially loved and trusted.
1t would please the great president
that his memorial should stand among
such surroundings, rather than in a
more conspicuous situation or more
fashionable neighborhood. - Youth 8

Concerning the Living Lincoln.


"1t was my pleasure to have known
President Lincoln personally" said
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house. Il talked with him on several
occasions, in Washington and at the
front. and while I knew him well
do not natter myself that he knew me
well, for there was only one of him
and there were forty millions Of me.
What struck me above all else was his
simplicity and everyday common
sense.
He met all men as equals, not In
q patronizing way, but in way that
said as plain as words. We are all
of one blood, and brothers. He was
q great man and he WAS the only one
In all the land that did not know it.
He always remembered his early
struggles and poverty, and with SYM
pathy born OF them was ever ready to
give helping hand to those compelled
to travel the road that he had been
compelled to travel In his youth and
early manhood.
"He was a Christian. not q church
member-and did by his actions what
30 many do by their professions only.
His life was the golden rule in action.
He loved and had faith in his fellow
man, and stood at all times ready to
hold the ladder nrm while they as
cended and no jealous envy ever en-
tered his mind. no matter how high
the ascent.
"He was a Republican and a parti-
san, but above all q patriot and lover
Of his country. We need today par
tisan Republicans and partisan Demo-
Gratis, men who believe in their duty
and the principles of their parties and
not 80 many guerrillas that feed be-
tween the lines, now on one side and
then on the other.

The gentle Dean Swift, in writing to
friend, describes his first reception
OF a comic valentine:
Il was seated in my library when
the postmaster arrived and l opened
the bag. What was my surprise to
find my first greeting on St Valen-
tines morning to be representation
OF fat person, with a body like a
pig and head like a dolt. OF course,
1t grieved me. for l always considered
the day one devoted to everything
beautiful in life. But felt far more
compassion for the unfortunate mental
condition of the sender than | did
for the feelings Of the recipient. which
were, l assure you, quite healed be-
fore I finished breakfast"
The simplicity OF this gentle pro-
test, scarcely a rebuke, is pathetic.

sentimental, like the following:

I will be thyme,
