Last Monday President Wilson
issued his expected call for an ex.
ira session of Congress to convene
on the 18th day of April. to re
ceive such communications as may
be made by the executive" It is
that the Presidents
first communication will be in re.
gard to the tariff, aud when that
is in fair way to be disposed Of
he may suggest other lines of legis-
lation. One thing at a time appears
to be his idea or plan, and it is a
pretty good one if piece Of work
is to be done thoroughly and in or.
der. The extra session may be
called on to take up other subjects
of legislation. such as currency re.
form, the Philippines, child labor,
etc. which are being urged by
some of the members of Congress,
but it is generally understood that
the President will be governed by
circumstances in the matter of
communicating with the extra SEES

We notice that the papers, in
mentioning Governor Majors ap.
pOintments, persist in speaking of
his appointment of State Insurance
Commissioner Revelle as being
from st. Francois county. Mr..
Revelle is not a citizen OF ST.
Francois county, If it is policy to
credit him to Southeast Missouri,
go back a little further and make
it Bollinger county. Seven or
eight years ago Mr.. Revelle came
to Pennington and engaged in the
practice of law with Congressman
Hensley. but he remained here
only couple of years when he sold
out and moved to Montgomery
county. 1t was from there, we be-
lieve, that Attorney General Ma.
jor appointed him Assistant At.
torney General. He has never had
q residence or voted here since.
No, Governor Major hasn't yet
made an appointment of any con-
sequence that may be credited to
St. Francois county.

either In aspic jelly or masked with
mayonnaise in a paper case or pastry
shell. 1t Is important that 1t should be
properly poached. Let bay leaf sim
mer In the water and add a table
spoonful Of tarragon or plain vinegar.
Unless the egg is poached in a ring
to insure the white keeping Its shape,
cut the white with round cooky cut
ter as soon as the egg Is cold.
The making of the aspic Jelly does
not entail the work 1t formerly did,
as the many canned and condensed
beef stocks can be used. with the ad-
dition Of extra seasonings and gela-
tine A thin layer Of the liquid jelly
should be poured into shallow enam-
81 pan large enough to hold the nec-
essary number Of cold poached eggs.
When the jelly begins to harden lay
the nicely trimmed eggs at regular in
tervals, nat side down.
Pour little of the liquid jelly over
the surface Of the eggs and arrange
circle Of alternate capers and dots
Of picked beet. Have four small tri-
angles Of cold tongue or thinly shaved
lean ham placed at the outer edge,
pointing toward the yolk. Make the
decoration as highly colored as pos
sible. choosing green peppers, cavi-
are, truffles or pimento to make a
good showing through the covering Of
aspic. Pour on the remaining liquid
jelly and chill thoroughly.
Have ready either cases of paper or
shells of plain pastry. Cut out the
jellied eggs, using a cutter of size
to correspond with the case. Remove
the eggs with a cake turner and place
one in each holder. With a pastry
tube pipe border Of mayonnaise
around each.
Hard boiled eggs for cold service
admit Of great variety. They are
served either whole or In halves and
In either case the yolk may be re-
moved and mixed with any preferred
ingredient, then replaced as a stufing.
When served whole the stuffed egg
is masked with slightly stiffeneo may
onaisse so that It has the appearance
Of not having been cut. The elabor.
ate decorations are imbedded in this
outer covering and the whole thing
mounted for serving in some attrac.
tive way.
A thin slice of Bermuda onion, one
ring removed from the center. makes
a sufficient hollow in which to set
an egg and thick slice Of cucumber
scooped out to form little nest, is
another bit Of variety which is appe
tizing and pretty. Half an egg can be
served in similar fashion, the stuffed
yolk rounded well above the white
and surrounded with a ring of closely
set capers.

Bed Linen Economy.

1t pays to turn sheets at the first
sign Of wear in the middle. It also
pays to make sheets at home and to
get q rather lightweight muslin,
choosing exactly the same weight, for
pillow cases. The unworn parts OF
sheets may then be made into pillow
cases. The making of sheets and Dill.
low cases is trifling matter, and the
saving on single sheet is at least
20 cents, to say nothing of the fact
that the quality of the muslin you
buy is better than the average mate.
rial used for ready-made bed linen. II
you have linen sheets and pillow cases
the saving is more marked. Aside
from the comfort of sheets three yards
long they were better as they are
not torn or strained in the constant
effort to pull them up.

transform IN THE DESERT
Grateful Changes That Follow Del
uge Of Icy Water on the
Hot Sands.

1t is dry on the desert. Dry is the
natural condition, yet it is more than
usually dry. The foothills culver and
the stunted cedars dance In the uncer-
tain light; the rocks seem to twist
and move uneasily; 1t is the mirage
of heat. The greasewood is gray with
dust, the gramma grass is brown and
crisp underfoot. Drought and despair
seem painted on everything, living and
dead. Is aught living?
There is q cloud in the south. 1t
peeps dark over the cliff, it spreads
out along the gray wall. Silently,
swiftly 1t overspreads the desert val
ley. The sun is hidden. 1t is not cool
er for that, 1t is hotter. We spur our
jaded ponies, they respond YEARLY;
the sweat rolls off their reeking sides,
Joseph s. Wing writes in the Breed
ers' Gazette. Yet it seems ridiculous
that we should fear rain. 1t has not
rained for nearly year.
We hear a low murmur off in the
south. 1t echoes and rolls along the
cliff wall. There 1t is once more and
nearer, louder. Again it rolls OUT 1t
is thunder-not the sharp rattle Of an
eastern thunderstorm, but deeper,
more prolonged, more ominous. What
has happened to yonder cliff? 1t has
disappeared. Instead 1t is a gray veil.
1t is rain at last. And now we are in
the thick of it. How 1t pours! We
pull our sombreros down and crouch
before 1t. Joy streams course down
our legs. The thirsty earth opens to
take it, but seems in danger of being
washed away.
Hear the rolls of the thunder now
right over our heads. See the binding
sheets Of rain. Are we following the
trail? Let us hasten to cross yonder
arroyo before the flood comes coursing
down 1t. All, just in time! Look, up
the arroyo. See, the wall of water
comes sweeping down. 1t reaches from
wall to wall, before it roll stones, on
the crest are sticks, logs, brush. 1t is
death to any man who gets caught in
that turbid food.
SLOWLY we plod along over the plain
again. 1t Is raining slowly now. Every
drop is soaking in. The range is saved.
Oh, ye of little faith!
The storm has gone. Only thin
cloud wreaths veil yonder peaks. We
ride merrily along, the air cooled and
purified, the afternoon sun drying our
soaked garments, Who thought the
desert was dead? Already we see the
green hue of gramma grass. We note
tiny flowers; they must have been hid
den by dust before the rain. See the
little squirrels; see the prairie dogs
When did they get drink before this
We are near the cottonwoods by the
river now.
We shut our eyes. Is this an or
chard in old Ohio? Surely, we hear
the robin chirping? His notes are
brave ones, full Of faith, courage.

Why Called "Woolsack."

An appointment to the "Woolsack''
ls synonymous to an appointment to
the lord high chancellorship of Eng
land.
The woolsack is sort Of broad,
square, fiat, blue cloth divan in the
house Of lords and is supposed to
consist Of tightly packed wool. There
are several Of these woolsacks placed
In the center aisle Of the house mid
way between the throne and the cross
benches. 1t is the one nearest the
throne that is occupied by the lord
high chancellor. The others are re-
served for the use Of the judges OF
The high court, who sit in the house
of lords for the purpose of giving
legal advice, but who do not vote
The woolsacks date from ancient
days. stringent laws were enacted tc
prevent the expectation Of wool
which was then regarded as the CHIEF
source of the wealth Of the nation
and that the Importance of this staple
product OF the realm might be KEEP
constantly In mind by the legislator,
woolsacks were placed in the hous,
of peers as seats for the lord higl
