Feline Traveller Also Swings by the
Tail Without a Murmur Of
Protest.

New YOrk-Teddy came to New
York city recently with all his feline
fancies, and soon had nearly every
one in the lobby of the Albert hotel
taking notice that he was no ordinary
cat. Teddy can box, turn somersaults,
hang by his tail and eat green peas.
He likes to perform, and after busy
afternoon showing almost anyone who
came along his cunning tricks, he
cuTled up on the hotel desk and slept
as peacefully as a tramp in a box
car.
Teddy is travelling with his master,
L. c. Breed, who is connected with a
Chicago trade publication The cat
has been Mr.. Breeds constant com
panion for almost four years. He wac
adopted in the summer of 1909. Mr..
Breed was In the Park hotel, in St.
Louis, and saw a forlorn kitten sneak
into the building and curl up in one
corner. He petted the animal. and
soon found him unusually playful and
Intelligent. A mutual friendship be-
gan between the two, and Mr.. Breed
closed the matter by paying the hotel
% cents for the kitten.
AS soon as Teddy became used to
two or three square meals a day he
was put under the scrutiny of several
cat fanciers, who discovered that

in OLD HEIDELBERG
Most Picturesque University
Town In Germany.
Greatest Glory Of This City lie Her
Army Of Ever Changing Students
Lelpslz ls Birthplace Of Wagner
and Other Noted Composers.

Heidelberg, Germany Perhaps no
place In all the world has been more
tenderly loved than old Heidelberg.
She has sent men forth, not only over
all Germany, but over all the world,
who continue TO sing songs In her
praises and to write poems In her
memory.
Heidelberg unltes SO faultlessly the
delights OF mountain and plain OF a
city and country town Of physical
beauty and great culture. A long mar
row plain runs along the bank Of the
Neckar, and here the business part
Of the town Is situated and above this
plain is a lovely wooded hill on the
top Of which stands the castle. For
those who desire a more intellectual
enjoyment, there are excellent con.
certs, theaters, libraries and museums;
for those who seek health Heidelberg
is one of the most healthful spots in
all Germany. and for those who love
nature the Heidelberg scenery Is
among the most beautiful in the world.
II is little to be wondered at the
number Of people who make Heidel.
berg a permanent home, and their
number is increasing from year to
year. The town is filed with retired
officers, professors and civil servants.
But, Of course, the greatest glory OF
Heidelberg is her army Of ever chang
ing students, which keeps her forever
young. The streets are flooded with
them all day long; students in bright
green caps, bright red caps or bright
yellow ones, each signifying a different
| corps.
We foreigners are prone to laugh at
the scars of the German corps stu
dents. and yet dueling is a sport that
requires more skill and is not half SO
fatal or dangerous as football in
| America.
It is very seldom that a man is
killed and the eyes, nose and ears Of
the contestants are always protected
A corps duel is very seldom a quarrel
but just trial of skill between two
friends. Sometimes one corps will
challenge another to meet it on the

STUDENT, AGED ST, IS DEAD
Fails for Hundredth Time to Become
Swiss M. D. at University
of Berne.

Berne.-The oldest university stu
dent in Switzerland, Gottlieb Laeder-
ach, died here, at the age of fifty-sev-
en-, having studied at the University
Of Berne for 81 years without hav-
ing taken his medical degree.
Laederach entered the university
when he was twenty years old He
studied assiduously, but, owing TO a
singular nervous temperament, he
could never pass an examination. IN
der the written and oral tests he be-
came so embarrassed that he always
failed
Laederach, however, had an indie
pendent income and tenacity. He de-
termined to pass the examinations il
1t took a lifetime. Many of his stu
dent friends became professors OF
medicine at Berne and Laederach at
tended their lectures, although he
knew as much as they did.
Years went by, with the student still
striving for his degree. Recently he
went into the university examination
room for the hundredth time. He was
engaged in writing a series of answers
to the questions of the examiners when
he fell forward on his desk, dead from
heart failure.

Story of the Fourth Member of
Presidents Family.
Or George Howe, Child Of Executives
Sister, Was Raised and Educated
by Nations chlef-Dlscovere
at the Inauguration.

IVashington.-A TALL distinguished
looking young man, closely resembling
the pictures of Woodrow Wilson in
early youth, was a prominent member
of the presidents personal party dur
ing the Inauguration in Washington.
He was noticed by many, but besides
the immediate family few knew that
this was young DR.. George Howe,
younger son of Mrs. Annie Wilson
Howe, the presidents only sister, who
is now a member of the White House
family, and, who holds in the presi-
dents heart the place of an only son,
for he was brought up in Woodrow
Wilson's own home as an adopted son.
George Howe graduated from
Princeton a first honor man and was
then sent by his uncle to the Univer-
sity of Halle in Germany, where he
took his Phi. D. with highest honors.
Before returning to America he took
b years course of postgraduate work
at Oxford, and Immediately after his
arrival in this country he was called
to take charge of the department of
Latin at the University of North Caro-
lima.
His earliest youth was spent in Co.
lumbia, S. c., and from his old home
he chose in boyhood his future bride.
Her mother, Janey Smyth of Charles
tor, S. c., and George Howe's mother,
Annie Wilson, were friends from child
hood. The old families of Howe, vii.

team will meet another in friendly
rivalry.
Leipzig is quite different from Hell
delberg, bigger and more CONNER,
cial place 1t is the center of book
publishing for all Germany.
The new Rathaus is a most pompous
and ponderous looking affair, with
none of the charms of the old, built
with twentieth century eye for use
instead of for beauty. In back of this
Rathaus is one of the most charming
and quaint fountains in Germany. 1t
is a wilderness of little figures of boys
and girls and geese and dogs and cats.
Perhaps Leipzig's greatest glory is
that it was here Richard Wagner was
born. His birthplace is a homely old
building with stores on the ground
floor. A simple tablet marks the
house.
Leipzig has always been a musical
center and here such men as Wagner,
Bach, Schuman and Mendellsohn have
lived and here helped to make the
music for all the world. The Gewand-
haus orchestra is among the best in
Germany.
AS in Heidelberg, in Leipzig it is
the German student that is the glory
of the place. They are to be seen
everywhere, in the streets, in the res
taurants and at the theaters. They
are the men that will make the Ger.
many Of tomorrow. And the Germany
of tomorrow will be a great and pow.

SUNDAY NIGHT TEA.

A dainty and nice little salad to pre-
pare for night lunch is dates and
cottage cheese. The cheese should be
well seasoned and arranged on lettuce
leaves, with three or four dates care
fully stoned and washed and arranged
on the cheese. No salad dressing will
be needed with such salad.
Figs and nuts ground together in
a food chopper and seasoned with a
bit of salt and moistened with a ia
blespoonful of cream makes fine fill
ing for sandwiches. For a refreshing
spring sandwich nothing tastes better
than sliced cucumbers with a bit of
onion juice and lemon on bread and
butter
Chopped green onions, seasoned
with oil, vinegar and salt, make an
other good sandwich filling. A cup of
hot cocoa on chilly night is most ac-
ceptable, and with a salad is enough
for simple meal
After late heavy Sunday dinner, a
very light lunch is best. For those
who are not satisfied with that, a
heavier dish, such as sliced roast of
beef with Mexican or Spanish sauce,
or an escalloped dish of eggs, maca-
ronni and cheese and white sauce will
be found quite satisfying enough.
Milk toast made of nicely toasted
and buttered bread and white sauce
of rich milk or thin cream, is an espe'
cially good supper for little people.
A hot soup ON a cad night warns
one and is a good beginning for a
light supper,
For older ones the addition OF
grated cheese will be pleasing, and
they will not find 1t hard of digestion
Small cakes of many kinds, with
q dish of canned fruit, is another gooC

SUGGESTIVE IDEAS AND RECIPES.

In all of our cooking schools today
the young people are taught to use
utensils always instead of fingers in
the cooking. We all like to feel that
our food has been prepared in the
most scrupulous manner. The spatula
or flexible knife has taken away the
time-honored custom of scraping out
bowls and dishes with the index fin
ger. The fear of spreading disease,
and a knowledge of germs has made
us all more careful Of putting our
hands into our cooking The finger
nails, with the best of common care,
cannot be immaculate, and the pores
of the skin are large enough to harbor
whole congregations of bacteria. This
agitation for care of food is not fin
ickiness, but is recognized by all
thinking people as a necessity for
decent living.
When cooking the fresh, new green
peas, they are greatly improved by
the addition of teaspoonfU of sugar
to the water when boiling them. Sweet
corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips,
and beets, when not very sweet, are
improved by the addition of a tea
spoonful of sugar to the water when
cooking.
Clear tomato soup may be bought
in cans, and one may have few Of
these on the emergency shelf to make
tomato Sauce of, adding the seasonings
desired, with the thickening of butter
and -four, if needed. This is a great
saving of time, and half a can will
be a generous supply for sauce.
Baked Kippered Herring-Wipe two
kippered behring's, lay on board and
rub we'll with pepper, salt and cloves.
Put them into a buttered baking dish,
cover with vinegar, add bay leaf,
cover with buttered paper and bake
in a moderate oven twenty minutes.
Springtime brings the appetizing
horseradsh, which is such an addition
to any dinner. Served with steak or
fish it makes sauce most accepta

makes Nuts and bread brumbs used
for stufing of peppers, tomatoes or
onions will take the place OF meat
most satisfactorily.

hot stir In a cup OF peanut butter, a
cup OF cracker crumbs, n half cupful
OF milk, and two eggs well beaten.
Shape in q rounding loaf and place In
4 well buttered pan. Bake until nice

This is a most delicious loaf for chill
dren or any one who does not eat
meat.

Walnut Loaf.-Take q cup OF
chopped walnut meats, four cups OF
bread crumbs, one hard cooked egg

No Dissolution.

or course the harvester trust has
not been dissolved What does the
government mean by suggesting such
a thing?
Trusts, according to George w. Per
kins, are inevitable and ineffable
things; compounded equally of busi-
ness genius and angelic philanthropy.
They are born of cosmic necessity,
and nurtured on the milk of human
kindness. They save the small dealer
from the sin OF avarice by putting
wealth out of his reach; and they
make the laborer content in the sta,
ton to which Providence and G. w
Perkins have called him by giving
him no chance to get out Of 1t.
Why should such an assortment OF
virtues be dissolved" merely to salts
fly petty prejudice in favor Of obey
ing the law, and a useles rule of con
duct which outof-date people cal
fair play?"

pie we're led to expect too much of the
