INDICTMENT

A certain youngster in Washington
was one day suffering greatly by rea-
son of an aching tooth. His mother
was endeavoring to calm him against
the necessary visit to the dentist.
You'll have it out, won't you,
dearie?" the mother pleaded. at
won't hurt much, and then the ache
will be over"
But then the unhappy child began
to howl with pain. His brother, a
year older was likewise distressed,
and added his pleadings to those Of
the mother.

the mother.
Eyes, Dick, have it out" added the
brother. ut will be one less to clean,
you now."-Eppincott's.

ON THE VERANDA

'T love the bunny hug"
'I don't know it." said the young
man regretf6lly, but I'm a bear at
the plain, old-fashiOned variety"
And then the moon considerably
withdrew behind cloud.

hour later he drove with dash to
the door, the horses groomed, the
buggy shining, a bow of patriotic rib
bon from some former occasion tied
to the whip. She knew it was his
final invitation.
I'm coming" she called from the
doorway with a half sob. 1T won't
take me but a minute
How deeply she loved him was i'm
pressed on the verge of his really 60

AS she changed her dress hastily a
sort of pang came with her woman's
intuition that the skirt was too full for
the change of style that had come
with the new season; the white of

VARIOUS USES FOR GELATIN
Properly Plays an Important Part In
the Preparation Of All Kinds
of Desserts.

Gelatin plays an important part in
many a recipe. A tasty dessert is
made thus: Dissolve the contents Of
one envelope of granulated gelatin in
one pint of boiling water; stir 1t to
melt the powder and then pour it into
bowl, and as soon as it starts to
''jel' beat with a rotary egg-beater
until 1t is light Then pour in half
pint of rich. sweet milk, a pinch OF
| salt, two ounces of crushed stale al
mond macaroons; If this is soft, put it
on the ice until 1t stiffens again, then
add few drops of sweet almond fla
voring and one gill of granulated
sugar. Wet a mold, pour the water
out of 1t and refill with the mixture;
put 1t in the refrigerator to ripen.
Serve with plain or whipped cream
and lady fingers.
With Fruit.-Fill Individual glasses
little more than half with mixed
fruit, fresh or canned; drain off all
juice; make one pint of orange or
lemon gelatin; as soon as cold put 1t
by spoonfuls over the fruit; serve
very cold, with cream and sponge
cake.
Prune Delight.-Wash, soak and
cook in only enough water to cover
them one pound of good prunes; while
they cook put in pinch of salt, two
inches of stick cinnamon; grated yell
low rind of an orange and one lemon;
six whole cloves, one gill of strained
lemon juice and one gill of brown su-
gar. AS soon as the prunes are very
soft stir in one package of granulated
gelatin previously dissolved in cold
water. There should be over one pint
of liquid. Stir until melted When
cold serve with cream and soft ginger
bread.

COLD ENTREE HARD TO BEAT
Mousse Of Sweetbread Just the Thing
for the Table When the Weather
Is Hot.

Line a plain mold with pale aspic
Jelly. dotted with diamond-shaped
pieces of truffle. Blanch and braise a
large sweetbread, and, when it is cold.
pound it in a mortar with eight ounces
of the white meat of boiled fowl and
tablespoonful of pate de foie gras,
and then pass the mixture through a
fine sieve. Bring a large cupful OF
milk to a boil with a small chopped
onion, a dozen white peppers, blade
of mace, a few thin strips of lemon
peel, and thin slice of fat bacon.
Simmer twenty minutes and then
strain over a tablespoonful of butter
rubbed smooth in two of flour. Stir
quickly until thick, season with salt
and white pepper. and dissolve in half
an ounce of gelatine. Pour into a ba-
sin with the sifted chicken and sweet
bread and two tablespoonfuls of sher-
ry.
Whip a pint of cream, and as soon
as the sweetbread mixture is cool, stir
it in and add the stiffly beaten whites
of two eggs. Pour the mousse at once
into the molds lined with aspic, and
leave it on ice to chill. Turn out on
fiat platter and garnish with al
ternate slices of tomato and cucum-
ber and a bunch of watercress here
and there.

Green eooseberry puddlno.

This may be made the same as rhu-
barb pudding with suet paste, and
boiled, steamed, or made in deep pie
dish with good ordinary pie paste with
a little cornstarch mixed with the
sugar to thicken the juice. When the
gooseberry filling is thick enough to
support the mixture, lift off the crust
and pour in layer of cornstarch
custard cooked in a double-boiler, the
whites of the eggs reserved for a
meringue to cover the top. The top
crust may be served at another meal
spread with canned peaches or pears.
Or instead of top crust, cover the
dish with another pie dish until the
gooseberries are done. Another way
is to replace the top crust and return
pie to the oven until the custard mix
ture is cooked quite firm. The pie is
then served cold with upper crust,
without a meringue.

where together"
Instead of responding she sought
refuge at the window. The stuffy
midsummer morning seemed to be
lending an atmospheric depression in
keeping with her spirits.
The sickening sun was fairly blaz-
ing against the side of the big, red
barn, the shadows from the row of
willows seemed half-hearted in their
effort to relieve the sizzling landscape,
and the fan at the top of the tall wind
mill was motionless.
He crossed to where she stood and
put sunburnt hand on her shoulder
You've got to tell me-" he said
evenly. I've never paid much atten-
tion to this neighborhood gossip, but
is 1t true-are you ashamed to go to
town with me?"
When she still refused to answer a
hardness came into his voice as he
went on.
81 was all right to take you home
on Friday nights when you came out
here to teach school. | was all right
to build your fires on cold winter
mornings. My tatherS farm that he
left me here was all right, 1t was the
farm. was it. and the fact that you
were tired of teaching school that you
gave in to marry me? You were tired
of the small pay, and the foreign kids,
and the trouble with the directors
That was why you married me, was
1t? Other folks have been saying
these things I'm beginning to believe
them now"
With a sob she turned until she was
in his arms.

Tended

tenderness coming back. 1T won't be

He drew himself away to get the
answer, but It was not forthcoming.

ers were on their way to the county
seat. The knee-high cornfields, robbed
now OF every trace of morning dew,
shimmered beneath the blue sky as If,
somehow, the occasion in town had
affected nature itself. Among the
other vehicles of more old-fashioned
sort an automobile chugged past.
Well have one of those, too. one
of these days." commented Henry as
he reined the horses from their fright.
It's Sid Koffmeier and his girl. Did
you notice the paint on her face?"
Il was looking at the country" an
swered Edith, arousing herself. I'm
afraid we don't appreciate what Da-
kota is coming to-"
Il like a big day in town myself. +"
mused Henry, cracking the whip as a
signal to the horses. Il haven't missed
a Fourth since | was a kid. Used to
get sick usually on candy and lemon
ade and from walking around on the
plank sidewalks in a new pair of shoes.
Last few years there's been a gang OF
us go in together. Sid and | and a
bunch of us have had some great times
together The dance is about the best
part of it
The girl turned her gaze to the road
side vegetation-the mullen and the
foxtail mixed with the buffalo grass in
which the insects kept midsummer
chorus. The old fear seized her. Per
haps she had made an awful mistake
as her aunt and her girl friends in
The Colorado statesman., 1914-07-04

town had predicted-a girl of educa,
ton and refined tastes marrying an
uncultured 'rube"
Soon after their arrival in town they
parted. and Edith decided she would
go to her aunt's. 1t would be cool
there and quiet, and away from the
crowds and anything Henry might do
before them.
Aunt jane was in her garden back
of the little white house, puttering
about as if there were no Fourth of
July celebration.
She glanced up from her cabbage
and potato beds with surprise and joy
at seeing her niece.
Yes, we came in this morning"
fastened Edith. Henry is down
town. We're both well. Yes, 1 sup
pose he may come down for dinner.
| II want to rest just little while in
the house"
Somehow she spent the day in the
darkened, old-fashioned rooms, while
her aged aunt, who had cared for her
since her early girlhood, fused with
the cooking and the house cleaning as
her rheumatism would permit.
Occasionally, as the long afternoon
went by, strain from the band down
town in the park was borne through
the naples by the hot breeze. and the
explosions of the firecrackers came in
muffled reports. And with each hint of
the celebration she found herself jerk
ing as she wondered what part Henry
was taking in it all
! She could not help but picture him
as going even farther with his good
time as a result of their quarrel. There
had been times in the past when he
and members Of his crowd had gotten
into fights and been arrested.
Evening came in the stealthy way
that she had lately become accustomed
to seeing it creep over the farm. Some
OF the country folk began going past
on their way home. 1t caused great

low keys, her arms dropped across
them and she buried her head with
a sob.
Twilight without made the shadows
thick in the room. yet he must have
been able to make her out from the
doorway, for the screen was shut noise
lessly and he had her in his great,
strong arms before she could look up.
Henry" she breathed Historically,
as she struggled to get free. You've
not gone without me. and you're not
hurt!"
He did not speak for time, but his
presence was comforting.
No, | didn't go without you he
answered finally. Il understand it all
now. l couldn't mix in on the old
kind of time. You've changed me.
Edith"
"Oh, l was prudish and selfish" she
interrupted. 81 should have trusted
you"
No" he went on; 81 came in with
the plan of doing all the things that |
used to. l found out l was changed
just after I left you and Joined Sid
and his girl. But there was nothing to
it. The dance hall was just cheap and
foolish, and the thought of booze dis
gusted me, Between everything l saw
you, somehow"
She had loosed herself from his en-
brace and had started for her hat.
Come on, Henry" she called rogu-
ishly. IF we don't hurry up and
get down town we might miss part of
the grand display of fireworks"
The Colorado statesman., 1914-07-04
PATRIOTISM

II isn't the flag that floats proudest
Or highest above the green earth,
And it isn't the cannon that's Ioudest
Which expresses the patriots worth;
II isn't the pomp or the shouting,
And il isn't the musical blare
That leaves us no reason for doubling
That the future we face shall be fair.
Think not that vainglorious vaunting
Shall strengthen the might we possess,
And it isn't by foolishly Haunting
Our banners that we shall progress;
1t isn't the challenge, the fearless
Defiance imposingly hurled,
That shall keep us undaunted and peerless,
The wonder and hope of the world.
II isn't the riches or spIendor
That the few or the many display
Which shall fit us TO rule or engender,
Belief in our fitness to sway;
The faith that our forefathers gave us,
The honor for which they could die,
Alone shall have virtue to save us
And keep our star bright in the sky.
S. E. KISER.

ent sort of man she had married-a
man in keeping with the great
stretches of fields and the big plans
OF growing things. But the thought
of being dragged by him before her
old friends from an ice-cream parlor
to dance hall had made her decide
against going to the celebration when
he had first mentioned 1t.
You are ashamed of me-" he inter
rupted. You're saying so with your
actions If you won't speak. But you
bet I'm not going to have my fun
spoiled. I'm going anyway"
When he came down from upstairs
few minutes later his overalls and
big straw hat had been changed for
a suit of ill-fitting black. faded derby
was placed low over his long crop of
hair, and handkerchief protected his
celluloid collar. When men dress up

WORTH KEEPING IN MEMORY
Things to Avoid, and Things to Do,
in the Celebration of the Glo-
rious Anniversary.

Here are some good things to re-
member, in connection with the cele-
bration of the Fourth:
DON'T:
Hold firecracker in your hand
after the fuse is lighted. If it does
not explode pick 1t up again.
Shoot off cannon crackers, revol-
vers, rifles or dynamite.
Fire off crackers in your back yard
or in the alley.
Fire off torpedoes or bombs by put
ting them on car tracks. You'll get
fined $40 if you do.
Sell or give the deadly toy pistol
or the equally deadly metal cap to
child. You'll get fined 800 if you
do.
In the course of the day you will
probably overlook some of these
"Dont's." Most people do. That is
the reason so many are killed and
manned with the recurrence of each
GLORIOUS Fourth" If you do overlook
them and the usual result follows.
here are some things to
DO:
If your clothes take fire. roll on the
grass or envelop yourself in blanket
II your face is pitted with powder
by a premature explosion have a doc
tor pick the grains out Immediately,
for II they are left undisturbed in the
skin they will make you ''tattooed
man" for life
II the flesh is torn by a powder
wound or burned with powder keep
the wound open and run for doctor.
That may save you from giving your
life for your country by the unpleas-
ant lockjaw route.

Commodities Break at Chi
cago After Bulge.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Wheat prices
hattened out to-day, after bulge due
to reports of the closing Of the Oar
danelles. A huge increase Of the
worlds available supply total was
chiefly responsible for the collapse Of
the market. Closing prices were weak
at h6 sc under last night. Corn nm
ished 1L62Bc down, oats of 1850
Ire TO 1iz019sc and provisions from
zoe decline to an advance of 25c.
Until the last hour bulls had almost
complete control Of wheat. Prices
crumbled rapidly in the wheat pit as
soon as announcement was made that
world stocks had been enlarged almost
four times as much as at the corre-
spending time q year ago and that the
total was now nearly 6,0OO,OOO busheis
heavier than last years aggregate. At
the end the bears had the further sd-
vantage of reports that the DardanelIes
would reopen within . few days ana
that the Russians had captured the
fortress Of Przemysl.
Corn swayed with wheat Fine
weather for maturing the new crop
tended likewise to accelerate the Jete
decline. There vas an estimate that
the seasons yield would exceed by 49,"

Reports Of large sales Of oats TO
