Very Plain Criticism.

Children are not always grateful be-
ings, and they are notably hard to en-
terrain. At birthday party a kindly
natured adult had toiled hard In the
effort to amuse the children by means
of parlor magic, ventriloquism, bur-
Iesque dancing and the like. The
other adults present were highly
amused, and some Of the children
deigned to chuckle mildly. The mother
of the hostess, however, felt that full
justice had not been rendered, so be-
fore announcing refreshments she took
pains to thank the entertainer, and to
call the attention of the youngsters to
his gifts.
"Mr. Blank is very funny, isn't he,
children?" she concluded.
From the rear of the room came a
small, shrill voice;
"Yessum, but not SO funny as he
he thinks he isl"

TWO FINE VEGETABLES
MUCH MAY BE DONE WITH
SWEET POTATOES AND SQUASH.
First Named, Baked In Butter and
Sugar, Are Really Excellent
Recipe for Squash Served
In Creole style.

Sweet Potatoes Baked In Sugar and
Butter.-Steam four medium-sized
sweet potatoes until tender; or slice
them raw, and cook In little boiling
water for ten minutes. Drain from
the water and place layer In the
bottom of baking dish Sprinkle
with sugar and spread with butter.
Add another layer of potatoes, more
sugar and butter. Fill the dish up
In this manner with sugar and butter
on top. Then nearly cover the potaT
toes with the water in which they
were boiled and place in hot oven for
three-quarters of an hour,
Sweet Potato Pudding.-Boil or
bake six smooth potatoes, peel and
press through a fine sieve; add the
yolks of six eggs and beat well. Add
one and a half cups of graduated
sugar, beaten with one and a half
cups of butter and one pint OF milk
Beat all very light, then add the
whites Of the eggs beaten to white
foam. Mix thoroughly and add grated
nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon to
taste. Blend with the potatoes. Last
of all add glass of good old brandy,
If you use liquor to flavor. Bake for
an hour with a buttered paper over
the top for the first three-quarters OF
an hour, then remove and let the pud-
ding brown. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar and serve hot or cold. Half
the above quantity will make good
sized pudding; or use only four eggs
making up the quantity of liquid in
milk or cream. Less butter may be
used though it requires plenty of but
ter or cream.
Squash, Creole Style.--Cut the
squash up in quarters; pare and re-
move the seeds. Cut into inch
squares. Wash in cold water and put
into a saucepan and half cover with
boiling water. Simmer gently about
half an hour and when tender drain
and press out all the water gently.
Mash az fine as possible and return
to saucepan and add salt and pepper
to taste; two tablespoonful of butter
and stir until thoroughly heated; then
let simmer for few minutes, stirring
gently to prevent burning. Serve hot
In a covered dish with roast beef or
chicken.
Squash, Plain Baked.-Wash, wipe
dry, cut in pieces convenient for serv-
ing; lay in baking pan, skin side
next the pan; spread with butter,
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
bake in moderately hot oven for at
least an hour. When done loosen up
the squash with silver fork; pour a
little melted butter or hot cream over
1t and serve very hot.
Squash, Maryland Style.-Cut up
In two-inch pieces and pare of rind.
Cook slowly in boiling water for
twenty minutes, then drain. Arrange
in baking pan. sprinkling each layer
with sugar and spreading with but
ter. When dish is full add half cup
OF water; cover closely and bake
slowly for an hour or longer. The
squash must be soft and transparent
when done. A casserole Is the most
convenient dish for this method OF
cooking squash.

1t was the next evening that the
army man sought the young sculp-
tress. She was sitting before an
open fire whose light brought out red
tones in her eyes and hair, the same
mahogany shade of the soft clinging
gown she wore and the red Jade neck
lace which accumulated the Wilderness
of her uncovered neck.
The moods Of the two had changed.
The young man was jubilant and
tears we're very near the surface in
the eyes OF the girl. She rose as he
came in and with no introductory
words he burst out boyishly:
What do you think. Of me for the
red jade man? How are these for
cuff links?" He drew down his cuffs
that she might see the two little ma
hogany-colored balls In each.
She scarcely looked as she an
swered colorlessly:
Very pretty, bat why do you wear
them with evening dress?"

her eyes.

cannot get honest work does not ap-

City, who is soon to be tried the
fourth time for the murder of James
Meadows, a telephone man, there sew

most celebrated in Oklahoma's Grim
inal history.
Tegeler is an electrician and is here
now installing new generators in the
city's power plant. He was given
life sentence at his second trial
and was in the penitentiary some
months before a new trial was grant
ed. While there he took charge of
the penitentiary's electrical machin-
cry with such efficiency that when he
was let out on bond he was hired
back at $125 per month at the same
job he had while a convict, and has
quit that job for a better one with the

part of Alberta, Canada, by A. J.
Bell, who has recently returned to
Edmonton from that district Mr. Bell
who has charge of the northern Indian
agencies, has proposed TO the Dc
minion government that it protect
these rare animals by building fence
on the peninsula between the Peace
and Great Slave rivers This fence, he
figures, would be 1O3 miles long, and
would cost more than 100000.
Speaking of the herd, he says: The
buffalo have every mark of resem-
blance to the bison Of the plains, but
constant living in the heavy timb red
country has made them much wilder.
