SAVINGS ON LITTLE THINGS.

Lack of expert buying in cuts of
meats is one of the things housekeep-
ers lose on. 1t is always the complaint
that the roast of beef costs so much.
People will tell you to get the third,
fourth and fifth rib. There is the
broad edge on this that nobody cares
much about and that you can't do much
with. Now, if the young housekeeper
will get the first and second rib and
have the end cut off instead of rolled,
and then use this piece by putting it in
the pan so as to set the roast upon it,,
she will find that she has piece which
she can do something with afterward.
What seems the most foolish waste of
money is the buying of fruit and vege-
tables out of season. There is some
thing all the time that is in season, but
there are many people who don't know
how to cook it to make it good. The
French use even carrots as vege-
table, and also in salads, and they are
most attractive AS to baked beans,
even 10 cents can seems large price
to pay when one considers how far a
quart of beans at cents will go, and
how little pork is needed to make them
good.

TRAVEL FIRST CLASS.
licago Record Herald:

Chicago Record Herald
Some tourists were travelling in Swift
zerland and they went to buy tickets
for the coach ride up the mountain.
The American, of course, bought a
first-class ticket, but he noticed that
all the rest got second and third class
and they all got in the wagon with
him. He asked the driver, What ad.
vantage is there in paying for a first
class ticket when holders of second
and third class tickets have precisely
the same accommodations? The driv.
err said: "You just wait a while and
you will see." So by and by they came
to steep hill and the driver called
out: First class passengers will keep
their seats; second class passengers
will get out and walk; third class pas
sengers will get out and push!"

MAKING A TOWN ATTRACTIVE.
Mansfield Journal:

Mansfield Journal:
Had you ever thought how your town
attracts the eye of stranger? If it is
well kept, and shows the citizens have
civic pride, the stranger is sure to be
favorably impressed with your town,
on the other hand if the alleys and va
cant lots are covered with rubbish, and
the buildings are in dilapidated con-
dition and have not been painted in
years, the stranger is not very favora-
bly, impressed with your town. He at
once decides there is very little prog
ress, and moves on to some other
town, that shows more signs of prog
ress.
Civic attractiveness in the towns of
Oklahoma have done more toward set
Ting that State than probably any 9TH
er one thing. People are attracted to
a town that shows some civic pride.
How does your town look to the
stranger?

Once upon a time two girls who were
clever. bright looking, jolly young persons.
| but not at all pretty, even in the eyes of
their most devoted friends, became un-
wontedly confidential and fell to talking
the situation over.
One of the girls was distinctly bitter at
natures stinginess in their direction.

Recently, tells the Pratt Union,
prominent Pratt business man was,
with his wife. invited out for a six
o'clock dinner at the home of friends.
The wife went on ahead as the hus-
band was very busy. A little later he
went to a house. rang the bell, was ad-
mitted, surrendered his hat, was
seated, and after chatting awhile with
the gentleman of the house, he looked
through the door into the dining room
where it seemed that dinner was over
and the dishes ready to wash. He be-
came a little uneasy and squirmed
about, getting red in the face and
scarcely able to carry on conversation
with the man of the house. At last as
his wife did not appear he ventured to
ask about her and learned that she had
not been there but was taking din

hurried away and all agreed to not tell.

SAYS UNCLE CAV

Don't try to fool yourself or any
body else with this "other SELF busi-
ness. If you try it on us we're likely
to remember that o. Henry story, in
which the chap who disappeared told
a story of double consciousness to
his worried family, but admitted to
! the boys that he'd found it a conven-
lent fiction to cover "a deuce of a
good time"
It's a very sickening kind of moral
cowardice that excuses the right hand
from what the left hand does. We
don't expect you to be good all
through and we're willing to forgive a
slip or two providing it hasn't cost Us
anything, but we don't care to listen
to any story that has to do with the
two natures that are struggling with
in me-" We can't exactly see the point.
If you have any sure and certain way
of losing the devil that you say some
times embarrasses the angel that is
the other "you," we'll and good, but
SO long as you are disposed to let him
keep the angel company. We'll have to
strike an average and let you go at
that. Since this devil is your own par
ticular personal property, we don't see
the necessity of your introducing him
to US. We're perfectly willing to charge
you up with his misdeeds and we're
not going to excuse you from one of
them.
The "other SELF plea is the natural
result of a cowardice so hopeless that
1t cannot take the responsibility for
it's own acts. An occasional season of
introspection will tell you that. The
rest Of us already understand it. We
don't believe that story about the an
gel and the devil who occupy your
breast. We know there's only you"
and that you are strictly human or a
little more so.
It's a sorry specimen of humanity
that can't look his mistakes in the face
and plead guilty. It's a sorrier one
who is willing to plead that he has
two selves. one of whom is wholly
vile. We've outgrown the notion of
obsession by evil spirits. Xou alone of
all the good folk in your Deighborhood
are clinging to the husk of the out
worn idea in the hope OF exciting a
little sympathy.
that you're human. Take the respon-
sibiIity for your shortcomings and ac-
cept the verdict. If it were true that
you are obsessed, it would not be to
your credit. 1t would merely mean
that you are unsound in both heart
and head.
Take your medicine. Don't make
excuses. Wen stand for anything
once, if you'll frankly admit it. Pos
sibily we'll forgive the second and
ward man, good or bad. We can learn
to love anybody but a liar or a cow
ard, VINO are one and the same in the
last analysis. An unapologetic sin
ner is not without attractiveness. We
like the real thing, that makes no ex-
cuses for itself, whatever it is.
But we don't take much stock in
this "other SELF plea.
