guilty in the state circuit court Of ar

some ranch buildings. have secured a

upon the fact that a few days before

Beware of Cousins!

Cousins are not as simple as they
seem. The very fact of being a cous
in. or having a cousin. is complicated.
The laissez faire of cousinship is both
eluding and deluding Cousins will be
cousins. even If You did not choose
them. They can borrow money from
you. visit you without being asked, tell
people they belong to your family, con
test your will, even fall in love with
you-and cousin once removed is
twice as apt to- Never completely
trust a cousin. Never depend on his
not doing any of these things, Never
take him for granted. The ''cousinly
kiss" may or may not mean what it
means And cousins always do kiss
It's part of being cousins.
(Not that cousins need necessarily
prove perilons. Once in a blue moon
they invite you to Europe or leave you
money, but that almost always takes

coffee berries, and after rejecting all
the imperfect ones among them you
place these picked berries in an iron
ladle and roast them over an open fire.
you roast them till they begin to
smoke. Then before they are charred
you take them off, drop them into a
mortar and pound them with pestle
carefully.
Meanwhile cup Of cold pure water
has been set on the fire. When it
comes to boil the ground coffee is
thrown into it-a tablespoonful to cup
and the boiling is allowed to so on
for about three minutes.
NOW you urlhk tne couee. 1ou

grounds lie at the bottom of the cup,
and if you don't shake it the fluid is as

nothing like the boiled coffee of Brazil,

sERVIA AS A NATION.
Il Originated In the First Half Of the
Seventh Century.

The birth of Servia as a nation, set
be dated in the first half of the sew
enth century. About 600 A. D., when
the Avaric empire of desolation was
Established on the Danube two tribes
the Croats and the Serbs. retiring be-
fore the ravages of the Tartar horse
men. settled in the countries now
known as Croatia. Bosnia and Servia.
They were Savs, but the Croats per
haps had. like the Savs of Moesa in
after years, adopted the name Of
Avars, were naturally hostile to them.
and 1t is possible that they settled in
the empire with the consent or even at
the invitation of the Emperor Hera-
clius |. AT any rate, they appear to
have been considered as vassals of the
empire. Their first settlements lay
rather westward of the country now
called Servia, the Drave, the present
western boundary, being the dividing
line between Bulgar and Serb in the
eighth century. Here the Serbs dwelt
more or less uneventfully for three
centuries. They generally formed a
loose confederacy under chiefs called
zupans. They were commonly. In a
loose fashion. loyal to the eastern en-
pire mainly through fear of their dan
gerous neighbors, the Bulgarians.
About $40 they united under a chief
named Vlastimiz to repel the latter.
The country rose to great heights

The White

An Easter Story

From his house on the hill John
Fleming could look down and see
springs magic fingers touching the
bare brown earth and the eafless trees
and feel her warm breath upon the
chill air. All about him were young
green grass. bursting buds on the tree
twigs and the song of birds as they
built their nests.
1t seemed that all nature was rejoic
ing in the resurrection of the dead
must retain the old husk of a dead ex-
istence. For him there could be no
resurrection of happiness or renewed
interest in life without Anne's forgive
ness, but Anne. his wife. still turned a
cold, implacable countenance toward
him when they CHANGED to meet. and
she continued to live in her fathers
house ut the other end of the village
without any sign of relenting toward
her husband.
The Fleming eStrangement was a
strange occurrence and had never been
fully explained to the good people of
Franklin. All they knew was that
John Fleming had quarreled with his
business partners. who happened to be
Anne's father and brother. and while
John had withdrawn from the firm his
wife had sided with her own people
and left her husband in consequence
thereof.
He turned his eyes from their weary
contemplation of the distant hills as
he had done so often before at this sea
son and applied himself to some work
that he had in hand. AS he bent over
