THE TIN SOLDIER

The light metal shield, capable of
rendering rifle fire. useless, has been
invented by a German engineer. Vol

Yards by the men of aguards regiment,

On the other hand, bullets fired by

BIRTHPLACE OF INDIVIDUALITY
Men Become selfRellant by Relying
on Themselves---Gain Clear
Opinions.

IA Many great qualities come to their
best in life OF com parative isolation.
"A big tree. an oak or elm, standing out
in an open field has a toughness Of
fiber, a spread OF boughs and round
ness Of shape that is never seen in a
tree that stands in the woods. So
people get individuality by being much
alone. They become self-reliant by
relying on themselves. They gain clear
opinions by thinking things over. and
thinking them out to their necessary
conclusions. They acquire inflexibil-
ity of purpose by facing obstacles and
conquering them. The pioneers Of
our country and the fathers of the
republic were such men. The projec-
tors of great undertakings carried
through triumphantly have acquired
their power in this way The country
is the natural nursery of such quail
ties. People are wanted on the farms
to raise corn and grow stock for the
markets; but they are wanted there
far more for Entertaining Of manhood
and womanhood in moral worth, In
religious sensibility, in all the traits
OF a strong. upright personality. In
the future as never heretofore our
cities with their multiplying wealth
and lavish luxury are likely to need
the country for that steady renewal
OF their better life which shall keep
them from relaxing into sensuality
and sinking into decay.

Mary Seaton. set down her full pail
and stared over the distant hills.
She had lived all her five and TWEEN
9ty years in the little, sordid settle
ment In the plains. Ever; since child
hood she had longed to cross the
mountains which seemed to shut her
lin and press on her until they became
intolerable. a45
She knew that beyond them no man
had set foot. except the wandering
traders and trappers Of the northwest.
There lay freedom. Perhaps 1t was
from her half-Indian mother that she
inherited this love OF freedom. Her
father, the Woodworking old Scotch
farmer, had lived In the village for
20, years. He was satisfied with his
lot. He never wanted to 60 further

The village of Elkwood lay in a val
ley, just below the new. huge govern
5ment dam, now nearing completion.
wherein all the head waters Of Rock
river fretted and surged. Soon they
would be led out through score OF
5apertures to carry moisture to tho
thirsty fields. Mary hated the dam,

isfaction to Elkwood. With the new
prosperity that 1t would bring there
would be no hope that Joe would ever
take her away.
And she hated the prison. Of mason
sry, built at the head OF the valley.
She hated 1t because she knew that
1T held imprisoned men who longes
for freedom even as she longed for 1t.

4 Extraordinary Football Feat.

b. p. Walker has a theory that per.
sons who know nothing about foot
ball should not attempt to describe the
game. He writes: IA late novel by q
Kansas author, depicts football game
In which the hero is the shining star.
The score stands S to in favor Of the
hero. Suddenly the quarter back OF
the opposing team skirts the end and
eludes the whole hero bunch. He tears
down the field like fash and is with.
in two yards of the hero's goal. Just
then the hero comes to life and shakes
on the tacklers and makes few
mighty bounds. The last bound is so
fierce that he lands out in front OF the
flying quarter back and brushes him
to the ground only a yard from the
goal. That, brethren, is some run
ming, even for hero. Just why the
tacklers of the offensive team were
tackling the players on the defensive
team the author does not state. Kan.

ORANGES AND LEMONS
THEIR USEFULNESS AND VALUE
IN THE $HouSEHoLD.
As Foundations for Dishes, and az Fla.
vorino, They Are Essentially De-
sirable In the Household
Menu.

Enormous numbers of oranges are
being imported into our markets now ;
and they are of the greatest value to
us, for their wholesome acids are
greatly needed by persons who eat az
much meat as we do.
This month we find many blood
oranges and these are of extra fine
flavor. They are produced by grating
orange slips into pomegranate stocks
and this fruit is greatly priced by cpl.
cures; unfortunately these gratis do
not bear so profusely as the true
orange tree.
Orange marmalade is the favorite
preserve Of orange lovers; the Scotch
recipe for this dainty has been given
in this column before, but the follow
ing recipes will be found to be super
latively good.
English grated orange marmalade:
Crate the yellow rind on the orange.
but do not CRATE in any OF the bitter
white lining. Press the orange pulp
through sieve and add pint of wa
ter to every four pounds of fruit Mix
pound of sugar In for every pound
OF fruit and boil thirty minutes.
Small oranges crystallized: Remove
the skin and white lining from small
oranges and take care not to break the
sections apart or to puncture the skin
for all the Juice may stay in.
Thread sterilized needle with
white linen thread and run through
the center of each orange so it may
be suspended.
Make heavy frosting with powder
ed sugar and the white OF eggs and
dip the oranges into it by the thread
SO every part Is covered.
Now hang the frosted oranges on a
stick SO they. do not touch cEe another
and suspend In a hot oven to dry
When the frosting is firm they are
done. These little comfits are very
pretty in boxes Of homemade sweet
meat.
Two recipes have been received for
using lemons from q reader OF this
section who is so fortunate as to own
lemon grove in California. One is
for preserved lemon peel. Peel the
yellow rind from the lemons with as
little white fiber as possible. Make q
thick strip Of sugar and water and
simmer the peel in it. In half hour
the rind will be tender and may be
put in small glasses and covered with
the sirup and then. sealed with par
ATTN. The other recipe will be useful
when lemons are at their lowest price;
1t is for preserving lemon Juice
Roll the lemons and squeeze all the
Juice from them; strain it through
very fine muslin SO no pulp goes
through. Have perfectly clean bottles
waiting, with new corks Pour the
Juice in until within half an inch from
the top. Now pour on a thin layer Of
paraffin; when this hardens cork tight
ly and keep in a cool place.
This correspondent says that the
Juice will keep perfectly fresh until
used.
