Rodger, the great French tenor,
was sensitive soul, and was prone
to take offense at any slight, whether
intentional or not
On one occasion he was engaged to
sing at the house of a wealthy finan-
cier. Rodger sang his first song mag
nificently; but no one paid the slight
est attention to him. and the guests
continued to talk their loudest.
Presently the host thought the time
had come for another song, and sent
for Rodger He could not be found.
Next day there came a note from him,
accompanied by 1900 francs. The
note ran something like this:

to add 800 francs thereto for having
so disturbed the conversation of your

Mrs. Caroline W. responds to the
young housekeeper's request for a
recipe for baked beans, Boston style.
For success three things are
necessary-a good pot, glazed on the
inside, but not on the outside Qt
must have a narrow top, with a
cover; second, good beans, the
small pea beans are best, and, third,
a good, steady fire. not one that will
burn a while and then get low" says
the sender, and here is her recipe:
Boston Baked Beans
Soak one quart of beans over night
In warm water, after washing them.
In the morning put on the fire In
same water and boil for half an
hour. Drain. Put half the amount
of beans in the pot, with one pound
of salt pork. Then put the other
beans on top of the pork, letting the
pork peep through the beans.
Add one tablespoonful of molas-
ses, one-half teaspoonful of mus
tard, one tablespoonful OF sugar,
one teaspoonful of salt, q little
pepper Dissolve one teaspoonful
of baking soda in boiling water
and pour over the beans. Fill your
pot with boiling water and put in
hot oven for from five to seven
hours, looking every now and then
to see If the water mas boiled away.
Be sure to add water which is
boiling.

Chinchilla Coat and Shadow
Lace Waist
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly let me know as
soon as you possibly can how to
clean a white chinchilla coat; also
how to clean a shadow lace waist,
and very much oblige yours truly,
MISS M. KRELOW.
The coat may be cleaned with
white cornmeal, but you will need
time and patience to mix the meal.
Rub q quantity we'll into the ma
terial, then brush out with a soft
brush, or beat the coat with small
sticks until all of the meal is out.
Rub in more meal, all over the coat,
and put the garment in a box away
from the light for several days.
Then hang the coat out of doors
and beat lightly until all of the
meal is out. Much of the soil will
come with 1t.
Flour may be used in the same
way. 1t should be warmed (but not
scorched) before applying.
Clean the shadow lace waist with
gasoline, following the instructions
given above, anent the pale blue
crepe de chine blouse.

midwinter to a summer hotel In one

in the depot. She refuses assistance.
He goes to Baldpate Inn. to which he
has a key. To his surprise, that night
another person enters the hostelry.
He is discovered in the office and tells
Magee that his name Is Joseph Bland.
He throws q package into the SAFE
and slams the door. then tells a story
of how "Arabella" has Tilted him and
he came there for solitude. A college
professor then appears, and takes UP
his home in the hotel. He explaiIs
that he Is trying to escape the newt
papers. The Hermit of Upper Aspe-
ouewan Falls. who has theory that
woman is at the bottom OF all
troubles Is secured as cook for the

Magee on the stairs she astonishes
him by asking him II he is on her
side and tells him that that the
Mayor of Renton has the fifth key.
The mayor soon appears. and strange
noises are heard in the hotel
Miss Norton meets Magee on the
stairs and asks his help in securing
$40, 900 in the safe. The strong box is
blown open by another, who is also
anxious to secure the money. There
is a struggle for its possession. Miss
Thornhill arrives with the sixth key.
The Mayor offers Magee large
sum of money not to write a maya
zine article on reform. Then begins
a four-cornered struggle for the
package of money taken from the
hotel safe. There is a struggle with
an unknown man, during which Ma
gee gets possession of the green
backs. The tale of graft begins to
unravel.

ID All Babies
Should Be Healthy
HABITS OF GOOD HEALTH ARE FORMED
WHEN A CHILD IS YOUNG s

merely delicate baby, with enfeebled
powers of resistance of disease and
of constant low vitality, needs both
guidance and the best attention that
medical science affords. The basis
OF all modern medicine Is prevention
of disease. To keep the baby well
is far easier, safer and surer to cure
him after he has once become Ill. 1t
takes very little to cause illness in
the baby and the result is often
seemingly out of all proportion to
the cause. The same digestive dis
turbance that, In an adult, would
cause at the most a passing discom-
fort, would result in acute illness In
the baby, often with the most dis
astrous effect, and the Infection
which passes the adult by finds a
quick victim in the baby.
