HOW TWAIN PROVED IT

When Mark Twain was living in
Hartford. Conn. where DR.. Doane,
now bishop Of Albany, was rector Of
an Episcopal church, he went to hear
one of the clergymans best sermons.
After it was over Mark approached
the doctor and said politely:
Il have enjoyed your sermon this
morning. / welcomed it as l would
an old friend. have a book at.
home in my library that contains
every word of it,
Why. that can't be- Mr.. Clemens"
replied the rector.
All the same, it is so,'' said Twain.
Well, ! certainly should like to
see that book" rejoined the rector
with dignity.
All right" feplied Mark, you
shall have it," and the next MORN

Twain's compliments a dictionary

his clothes while he is asleep, for
he never has a cent when he wakes
up.

by mistake for a burglar the other

There never was a time in the his

wife's brothers lower jaw His

him for nineteen years.
Grandpa Bibbins says of course it
is great thing to be in good spirits,
but he would a blamed sight rather
have the good spirits in him.

Free wool and more radical re-
duction of all the wool manufactures
in schedule K than has heretofore
been suggested may be made a part
of the Democratic program of tariff
revision.
William ]. Bryan has long been an
advocate of free wool, and has not
changed his views on the subject. In
fact, he has steadily urged that there
should be no duty on the raw ma :
terials that enter into the manufac-
ture of clothing. This view is held
by many Democratic members in
Congress, and. in fact, free wool
came very near being put in the
bill passed by the House last year.
Recently, however. Oscar Under
wood, chairman of the House ways
and means committee, has come over
to Bryan's view of the wool ques-
ton. The Underwood idea, however,
is not to put wool on the free list
Immediately. but to make a deep cut
in the wool duties now and provide
for their further reduction until the
duties are wholly removed.
The wool schedules are much com
plicated at present, by design. In the
debate on the Payne-Aldrich bill
even such a tariff expert as the late
Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver admit
ted that it was impossible to say
exactly what the schedules did mean
and what the duty really is. In a
general way. however. the duty on
raw, washed, combed and carded
woods is from 40 to so per cent.
Sheep interests in the West have
clamored for a retention or even an
inctease in the present duties on the
ground that free wool will mean the
destruction of the sheep business in
this country. On top of this they
add that to put the American sheep
growers out of business will even
tually mean higher prices for wool,
inasmuch as the foreign supply will
not be equal to the demand. It's d
funny sort of contradictory argu-
ment. but it has been good enough
for the Republican hightariff advo-

SODA WATER FOLLOWS
FLAG AS PEACE AGENT

Soda water, in its present form,
has not been recognized as a health
full beverage much longer tkan the
life of the well preserved man of
four-score Its real history from the
point of view of the fountain owner
and operator, and the historian, can
be covered within the scope of eighty
years, while the greatest develop
ment and most remarkable changes
in the saltwater and soda-fountain
industry have been brought about
during the past quarter. century.
According to L. A. Becker, who
writes on the subject in The Phar-
maceutical Era, it is an American
invention, and, perfected by Ameri-
can skill and pushed by American
enterprise, it has become an Amer
lean institution, national in scope and
character, yet 'one which has fol-
lowed the flag into the Far East.
and has become a peaceful INVADER
of Mexico, the Dominion of Canada,
England and the continent.
Carbonic acid, without which the
soda and sundae would not be pos
sible, was known to Paracelsus in
the early part Of the sixteenth CEN
tury-about 1520-and was further in
vestigated by Van Helmont, the Bel
gian chemist. about 100 years later.
To designate it the latter coined the
word gas the term now commonly
used by dispensers and fountain
operators to designate the carbon
dioxide which puts the sparkle and
the fizz into soda water, or, more
! properly speaking, into carbonated
water. The name soda comes from
its first method of production.

MOMENT
By Roy K. Moulton
MAUD MULLER.

MAUD MULLER.
Maud Muller, on summers day
Raked the meadows, sweet with hay.
A manager rode Ger the hill.
A manager of vaudeville.
The finest raker she, I ween.
That manager had ever seen.
He watched her for little while.
And openly admired her style.
He said fortune she could make,
In vaudeville with her old rake.
He made an offer then and there,
Unto this maiden passing fair.
She packed her suitcase, said goodbye
And to the city she did HE.
Her raking stunt upon the stage
Quite soon became the bowling rage.
Of course it was patent fact
That there was nothing to her act.
But still they paid, quite strange to
say,
To see the maiden raking hay.
She made the thousands stare and
cape,
She simply got by on her shape.
She owns a high powered auto now,
To spend her coin she knows not how.
This may sound very queer, but still,
Ii is the way in vaudeville.

MAKING GOOD CAKE.
Bysdie Plumbers Wife.

1t takes a careful, intelligent person
to make a good cake. Many think
that if they go according to the re-
cipe they should CERTAINLY have as
good a cake as their neighbor makes
by the same recipe, but the trouble is
they are probably not so careful in
preparing the ingredients as their
neighbor.
II you want first-class cake of
any kind, light or dark, it is neces-
sary first to cream the sugar and
butter to froth before adding any
thingfi else. and when say ''cream
the sugar and butter I don't mean
to mix it together just enough to wet
the sugar., but until it will froth and
look like whipped cream. Some of
you women will say, "Oh, it takes too
much time," but maintain that
doing WELL" and know of nothing
at all in the line of cooking that will
show such good results as creaming
your sugar and butter we'll before
adding the other ingredients.
Then, after they have spent half an
hour getting the sugar and butter to
a froth, some persons will pour in
a cupful of cold milk, which will re-
suit Immediately in sending the but
ter back into chunks, and their work
has practically all been for nothing.
Now. just try having the chill takien
off your milk and your flour and
baking powder already mixed, so you
can add a little flour and milk at
time, and beating smooth until all the
flour and milk are used. When about
half the flour is in add the whites Of
eggs BEATEN to stiff froth, then the
rest of the flour and milk. and I can
assure you there will be no Jumps.
but light, fluffy cake, if baked care
fully in a moderately hot oven.
have given my white cake re-
cipe to dozens of women, and some
come back and say that they never
have as good luck as I do, when really
it is not luck at all, but just know
ing how to do it, and then taking the
time to do it right. Sitting the flour
carefully two or three times is also
a wonderful help in making light,
smooth grained cake.
Another thing, if you want white
cake you, must get as white butter
as possible, as you naturally cannot
make a white cake out of butter that
has been artificially colored.
It is almost impossible to make
satisfactory cake out Of confectioners'
sugar. I always use pulverized, which
shows a grain when rubbed between
thumb and finger, or it is quite as
sa +isfacforv to take soft white sugar
and roll and sift it several times. Get
good grade of pastry flour and you
should have fine cake.

A BLIND PROPHET.
BY Harold g. Kessinger.

Some people have eyes that do not
see and ears that do no hear. Some
shut their eyes and refuse to see
wrong and injustice. Others close
their ears to the cries of the poor and
weak. r
Some people with perfectly good
eyesight are blinded by ignorance, SUI
perstition and prejudice. Others see
the suffering and poverty around them
with their physical eye and give re-
lief. When they see a hungry man.
they feed him. They give clothes to
the naked and drink to the thirsty.
They send the insane to the asylum
and the criminal to the penitentiary.
They Jail the drunkard and fine the
prostitute.
All see poverty, many want to al
leviate it, but few seek to cure it.
All see crime, most people want to
punish criminals, but only a few peo-
pie are interested in wiping out con-
ditions that create crimes and crim-
inals. All see the effects with their
physical eye, but few can see the
causes with their mental eye.
There Is in America a wonderful
young woman, not many years over
80. She is blind. She has no ply
sical eyesight. Yet she has become
educated, taken degrees at colleges
is a we'll known magazine writer, and
convincing, fluent public speaker.
She has accomplished all thes0
things under great handicap. She
is blind physically, but not mentally
and spiritually. She sees with pro-
phetic and crystalline vision the mo-
tives OF men, the causes Of poverty,
and the conditions that create crime.
Recently she wrote an article for
tho American Magazine" entitled,
THE Hand Of the World" The hands
Of the workers who build cities, yet
have no place to lay their heads. The
hands which erect mansions to shell
ter others, but have no shelter for
themselves. The hands that produce
foodstuffs for others. but, have moth
ing for themselves.
The hands of the workers must be
filled, not by confiscation, nor revo-
lution. not with something unearned
and unmerited. but there must remain
in the hands Of the workers q just
share of what they create.
Some call this Socialism. Others
call it pregressiveism. But tho right
name for 1t is Justice. It means mere
ly the application Of the Golden Rule
in a practical way. All Of us have
committed the Golden Rule to mem-
DRY. Very few of us have committed
1t to life. ->
That the hands which create all
should remain empty is unjust and
ridiculous
And .Helen Kellar, blind, with her
sightless eyes, inspired by her love
for humanity, can see with prophet
ic vision the day that is dawning
when justice will reign and honest
labor be rewarded.
