that the oven is properly heated; if too
hot the cake will brown at once and
be burnt before the inside has fairly
commenced to bake; if not hot enough
the cake will not rise. A general rule
is that a hottie roven is required for
small cakes than for larger ones. Al
ways have eggs cold before whipping.
Placing them in a bucket of fresh cold
water will make them beat sitter and
lighter. Grease the pan we'll and line
with creased paper, placing also a
sheet of clean. white paper on top
when the cake is first placed i'll the

formation of a top crust, which would
interfere with the rising Of the cake.
! Remove the paper from the top when
the cake has become thoroughly heated
and well raised, otherwise it will not
brown. Only good, sweet butter should
be used as the flavor of the cake is
largely dependent upon it. Fruit should
be put in with the flour. In mixing
the ingredients for cake the most gen
orally accepted plan is to cream the
butter and sugar together, add the yolks

NO. Is REMER

Not Always an Unlucky

Harley & Rogers was the name of
the firm. They were both young men.
full of vigor, and neither Of them
knew what the word fear meant. Each
was preparing to leave the office for
the day. gathering up papers and put
ting them away, locking some in his
desk. putting others in a safer place.
The telephone bell rang sharply, and
because the blond typist had gone
home for the day both Harley and his
partner. Rogers, picked up their ex-
tension telephones, and each n heard
the same brcathless, broken cry for
help:
"Come quick to No. 10 Remer street

", and the two young lawyers each
leaped from his chair to consult the
other. and they met in the outer office
with pale faces and startled eyes.

Harley grasped a revolver from his
desk, slammed down the top and dash
ed from the Office close on the heels
of his partner.
Rogers scurried around the corner to
the nearest police station, while Harley
hesitated at the curbstone.
"Where is Remer street?' he asked
of a man he met.

of the semicircular street called Renier
street. A half dozen old fashioned
houses of faded brick. trimmed with
brown painted wood and many of them
with shutters mysteriously closed, fill
ed the Enclosure.
Not one of the houses bore any street
number.
Harley squared his shoulders and
mounted the steps of the first house.
He pulled at the rusty old bell knob
and heard a faraway tinkle. At last
the door opened slowly and a woman
peered forth. a pallid. elderly creature,
with queer, light colored eyes.

door.
Harley went to the next house and
the next. and in each instance his ex-
perience was more or less the same.
Sometimes 1t was a man who. answered
the door, but invariably the answer
was in the negative. and before he
could franc another question the door
was always closed. Surely these deni
zens of Remer street were a suspicious
lott
Finally he came to the last house.
and it occurred to him that the desired
number must be either the first or the
last house of the row. depending upon
which way the numbers ran.
This time there came no response 10

HOW WE GOT OUR
CHRISTMAS HYMNS.

Many popular Christmas hymns
have a most interesting history. Those
who have heard the waits and CAROL
ers sing "Hark. the Herald Angels
Singr' on Christmas eve will be aston
ished to know that many years ago it
was rendered "Hark. @How All the
Welkin Ringsi" and was sung to the
tune of "See. the Conquering Hero
Comes" When this former wording
was adopted In the new hymn book of
the Hymns Ancient and Modern"
there was a great storm of criticism
from those who prefer the modern YER
sion. The hymn was written by
Charles Wesley.
The author of "Christians, Awake;
Salute the Happy Norm was John
Byron, Manchester's famous man of
letters. who was born at Kersal In 1901.
Byron had several children. but, like
many another father, there was a ia
VORTEX This child was a little girl
named Dolly. A few days previous to
Christmas Mr.. Byron. after having
q romp with the favorite; Dolly,
promised to write her something nice
for Christmas morning. On the morn
ing of the great day. when she sat
down to breakfast. she found on her
plate an envelope. addressed to her in
her fathers handwriting. 1t was the
first thing she opened. and. to her
great delight, 1t proved to be a Christ
mas carol addressed to her. and to her
alone.
Another very popular Christmas
hymn is that entitled "As With Glad
ness Men Of Old" 1t is remarkable
that this cheerful hymn was written
at a time of great depression. The
author, William Chatterton Dix. who
died in 1900, had been seriously Ill for
a long time. and he was feeling dis
consulate and miserable.
One evening. after he had been some
weeks in bed, he felt a great deal
better. and while In this improved state
he conceived the idea of writing a
Christmas hymn. end as a result of
this we get "As With Gladness Men Of
Old"
'Once In Royal David's City, is the
most popular Christmas hymn for chill
dren. 1t was written by Mrs. Alex
ander. who also wrote those famous
hymns. There Is a Green Hill Far
Away and I'VE Are but Little Chill
dren Weak"
