Their Lines Are Ended.

When one considers how many fami-
lies there are which trace their ances-
try in a direct line for many genera
lions it is rather a surprising fact that
there is not a single living descendant
in the male line of some Of the great
est men the world has ever produced
The following is a list Of some of the
illustrious men whose line never will
be represented on the earth again as
long as the world stands:
Chaucer, Shakespeare. Spencer, Mil
ton. Cowley. Butler, Dryden. Pope
Cowper. Goldsmith, Byron. Moore. Sill
Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh
Drake. Cromwell. Hampden. Monk. Pc
terborough. Nelson. Bolingbroke. Wal
pole. Chatham. Pitt. Fox. Burke. Wash
ington, Canning. Bacon. Locke. New
ton, Davy. Hume. Gibbon. Macaulay
Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Sill
Thomas Lawrence. David GGrrick
John Kemble and Edmund Kean.

His Savage Retort.

Ordinarily the members of the house
are anxious to do anything in their
power for their constituents and to be
as polite as possible about it. But
once in awhile the rule is broken. An
office seeker was trying to persuade q
southern member that as a hard work
ing political lieutenant he should be
rewarded with a piece of the govern
ment payroll.
There's no use in talking about it."
exclaimed the congressman roughly!
you're not competent to fill these jobs
up here" ;
The constituent. insulted by the. tone
more than the matter Of the remark,
turned Immediately to go out OF the
Office.
"Wait a minute" called the law
maker. realizing that he had been Inn
polite and reaching for a printed docu-
ment on his desk. "Have you read my.
last speech?"
Replied the job seeker, with beautd-
full contempt, 81 hope I have."-Chicago

The Futurist Fam.

A new place has been found for the
distinctive bunch Of futurist flowers.
They have been used ut the corsage,
on the hat, at the belt and OF the neck
ruff. Behold them now fastened pert
ly to net, lace or ivory fan! They are
effective, too, the gaudy stiff flowers
against the dainty white fan. They
are generally caught about the stems
to the outside stick Of the fan, and
one Of the flowers is fastened securely
in place farther along the stick. Ar
ranged in this manner they do not in
terfere with the opening and shutting
Of the fan.
The woman who can use a paint
brush can make a futurist fan Of a
different sort by decorating a net or
lace fan with spots and blotches of
brilliant ~color-cerise. orange. purple
and bright green-in oil paints.

There's another Beatrice HEREFORD

"Do you happen to. know a little

"Winkle, Wrinkle" repeated the great

PUTTING UP STRAWBERRIES.

TRUITS such as strawberries, rasp-
berries, peaches. prunes and april
cots. which are lacking in gela-
tin and will not 'jell" easily. will
make beautiful jelly if one-third rhu-
Llrb juice is used. This does not i'll
jure the flavor at all. If two table
spoonfuls of lemon juice to a cupful of
fruit juice are added it also usually
brings the desired result.
To keep jelly from turning to sugar
first strain the juice and measure.
Take equal parts Of sugar and juice,
say a pint Of juice and Il pint of sugar.
Put the sugar on and heat until very
hot, stirring to prevent burning. Then
| pour in juice and cook until it jells.
and you will not have any trouble.
Jelly and Cordial.
Strawberry Jelly.-EXtrlct the juice
from the fruit without cooking by put
ting into the berries one-half of the
sugar required and chopping the ber-
ries rather fine. Let stand several
hours. then pass through the jelly bag.
Do not squeeze. as that will make the
jelly cloudy. Add the remainder Of
the sugar and proceed as with other
berry jelly. The flavor is much better
than when made in the usual way.
Strawberry Cordial. When canning
strawberries there is always some
juice left. You can make a nice bev-
erage of the juice. To II quart of
juice add equal measure of sugar and
three ounces Of tartaric acid. Stir
well. and when the sugar is dissolved
strain. bottle and cork tightly. Using
one-half or two-thirds water and some
broken ice you will find this a refresh
ing summer drink.
Standard Processes.
Sun Preserved Strawberries. - Place
the Strawberries and sugar in layers
in a preserving kettle. using equal
parts of berries and sugar. Do not put
more than four inches of fruit into the
vessel. Bring it slowly to the boiling
point. Counting from the time the
fruit begins to bubble, let it cook ten
minutes. skimming carefully. Pour
into glass Jars and put in u sunny win
dow. In a few days the fruit will be-
come plump and the strip will be
like jelly.
Canned Strawberries.-Haye fresh,
sound berries. Wash by immersing one
box at a time in a pan of water. Then
| stem the berries. Use several small
pans. as the weight of many berries
| brushes them. Place n quart of sug-
ar in each pan, using just enough wa
| ter to melt it. When this boils drop in
gently enough berries for one can.
Boil five minutes and place in glass
jar, previously washed and warmed,
| Cover with a thin layer of wax and
seal. They will cook after sealing and
do not shrink like berries cooked
longer.

The per cent OF sugar in beets this
year is better than heretofore. The aver
age on beets delivered up to this time has
been better than sixteen per cent. The
price for beets with this per cent content
is S6.5 per ton, so the average price is
some better than last year,-Holly Call.
Ire work of harvesting the beet crop
is now in full swing and the yield is prov
ing better than was expected, The hot
dry summer did not promise more than
a fair yield, but with the coming of cooler
life, with the result that the yield will os
fully up to the average. Tne storage
yards were opened this week and the

Co. agriculturist in the Manz,nola Sun.
During the early weeks of delivery the
sugar content was rather low, however.
the REGENTS frosts have ripened the beets
nicely and the sugar content is now nearly
as high as last year. The sugar beet has
again demonstrated its ability to over
come adverse conditions and to prove it
self the best average money crop in the
