$ WRONG BREAKFAST.

Many persons think that for

with a breakfast of meat and other
heavy foods. This is q mistake as

FIVE, in not very fo%urishing circum-
stances, to look her rejected lover In
the face when he comes home with a
wife and several millions Of dollars
as well.
Especially when people thought she
had been in love with Jim Furber,
who was serving a ten years sentence
in the penitentiary for stealing fifty
thousand dollars from the bank that
had employed him. Nobody knew for
certain that Jenny had cared for Jim
but anyway, there he was, shut up
behind prison walls for a goodish part
IL his working life.
Would Jenny go to the train? We
were frankly curious. We wanted to
be there when Jenny met Frank.
There was to be a town welcome, and
a spread for the homecomer and his
wife in Doc. Williams house.
Yes, Jenny vas going to the station.
The whole of Merivale's inhabitants
had gone ~trooping down, and all the
Offices were closed. You see, it isn't
often a millionaire comes to Merivale
to settle down. And we had never
had a millionaire before who went out
of the village q penniless youth.
Jenny and Frank-that was the alb
sorbing problem. When we heard she
was going, nothing could have re-
strained us.
1t seemed endless, that waiting, but
at last the train steamed in. Frank and
his wife were In the front carriage.
He jumped down like a boy, and
swung a pretty. buxom lady to her
: feet, and stood staring at the crowd.
Then he gave a whoop and stretched
out his hand to the mayor.
'My, but I'm glad to see you!" he
yelled. Don't tell me you're not Pete
Williams-red-headed Pete who used
to go fishing with me? Address OF
welcome? What. Mayor Pete! Mayor!
And Doctor Williamsl Catch me,
somebody"
Then he presented Doc to his wife,
and soon we we're all ~thronging round
the couple and giving them the best
welcome in Merivale. And Jenny!
Jenny al blushing like a schoolgirl
And, before anybody knew what was
happening, Jenny had kissed Frank
and Frank had kissed her; and Jenny
had kissed Mrs. Frank, and Mrs
Frank had kissed her too.
We were all 80 excited about this
that nobody noticed the thin, tired
looking man with the closely cropped
hair who had got out of the same
coach, and 0 stood behind Frank
Stockleigh, his ayes roaming restless
ly about until they lit on Jenny's. But
suddenly Jenny sprang forward, anc
in a moment the thin man had her IN
his arms, and she was crying upor
his shoulder, and then they begar
kissing each other right in front Of
the crowd.
There was a sort of universal gasr
of stdpefaction. Frank Stockleigt
cleared his throat-and then he wasn'
looking at the crowd any more, bui
only at Jenny Walsh and the thir
man, who was still hugging her.
The gasp was succeeded by a breath
less silence. Then Mayor william.
peered hard into the thin mans face,
ard suddenly he cried:
Jim Fslrber, asI am alive!" <

ly out of doors. This is possible with
one of the small portable Gamers or
even an oil stove.
The first step is sterilizing the cans.
They should be carefully washed and
may be sterilized in the Gamer or by
boiling in a separate vessel provided
for this purpose. In case a vessel
without a rack is used, something
must be placed in the bottom to hold
the jars off it. Otherwise the Uneven
heating will cause them to crack. The
water should be cold when the jars
are put in, and heated slowly.

the average home the purchase Of a
Gamer probably will pay by the fruit
and time that it will save. However,
the housewife should consider care
fully the merits Of the different types
of Gamers in order to decide which
best suits her individual needs.
Homemade Gamer. A homemade
Gamer which will do very satisfactory
work can be ~improvised from utensils
to be found in any kitchen,
Water Bath Gamers. There are
three general types of Gamers on the
market. The simplest is known as
the water bath. It consists of a con-
tanning vessel with a rack and a cover.
AS the rack has handles to 1t, IT serves
not only to keep the jars off the bot
tom, but at the same time as a means
of lifting the jars into and from the
hot water. There are utensils in every
home from which such a Gamer can
be made. For example, the wash boil
er may be used as a container, or any
type of pail with cover, or anything
else to which a tight-fitting cover can
be made. A rack may be made of
boards, heavy screen or tin. There are
also water-seal Gamers and pressure
Gamers.
Miscellaneous Utensils. Before be-
ginning to can, have conveniently
placed a sufficient number of sharp
knives, knives which are adapted to
the work to be done, and any other
utensils which may be needed. There
are various devices on the market
which are cheap and save much time
in pairing, coring and slicing.
The air in the room in which the
canning is done should be as free as
possible from dust. There should be
plenty of table space, and the tables
should be so placed with reference to
the stove and water supply as to
avoid as much lifting and carrying as
possible. In the summer time the
work can be done in many cases with
less worry and always more pleasant

Pleasure is not the chief end of life.
Once we expect to be amused as a
baby with a rattle or a red cart, we
are preparing for a day Of darkness.
The development of character, not the
pursuit of pleasure, is the true end
of life. Pleasure comes into life as

The principal remedy for the Hes

commended to sow a catch strip around
the field early and allow the eggs to
be deposited in this wheat, sowing the
rest of the wheat field later. This
catch strip can then be plowed under
later In the season, thus destroying
the insects.

Canning Strawberries. The berries
should be picked over, washed and
hulled. The washing can be done best
in a colander or sieve of some kind
so as to do away with as much han
ding and consequent bruising as pos
sible. The berries can be placed dt
rectly in the jars.
Make syrup, using equal measures
of sugar and water. Heat it just
enough to dissolve the sugar. AS soon
as the jars are filled the berries
should be covered with the syrup. The
covers should then be fitted on loose
ly, and when the rack is filled all the
jars should be lowered at onc into
the sterilizer.
If the work has been done rapidly
the glass jars will be warm enough
from the sterilization to render break.
ing unlikely. Each Gamer is usually
provided with two racks, so that while
one lot of fruit is being sterilized an
other rack can be filled with a second
set of jars. It will then be ready to
take the place of the first when the
time required for cooking Is over. For
strawberries it is ten, eight, five and
three minutes, depending upon the
type of Gamer used.
Canning Peaches. The operation is
the same, except that a preliminary
scalding is necessary to remove the
skins. The practice of peeling a peach
with a knife is wasteful both Of time
and peach. The usual objection to the
hot dip is that it softens the peach
too much. This softening is in part
avoided by dipping the peaches in
cold water after the hot dip. The
operation is made much easier If the
fruit Is put in a square of cheesecloth
The orner of the cheesecloth make
a very convenient handle by o
which the fruit may be lifted in ant
out of the water.
Scalding and dipping in cold waite

Hon. James Hamilton Lewis
of side whiskers fame, is quoted
as saying it will be impossible
for the United States to much
longer stave off active interven-
.tion in Mexico. He thinks the
demand for this government to
protect American interests will
be so great that armed and &C.
tive intervention is inevitable.
Mr.. Lewis is not alone in this
opinion, there are many other
representatives and newspaper
correspondents who believe that
before President Wilson has
concluded his first term he will
be forced to send a stroug army
into the republic south OF US.
The Presidents "Watchfui ana
waiting policy" is wise, it has
thus far prevented this country
from going heaoiong into a con-
Aict at a cost of much life and
treasure, and it's hoped he will be
able to steer clear. yet, but unless
conditions get better we are
coming to the belief also that
the United States must take
hold of Mexico with a firm grasp.
If it does, then the tide of for.
eign immigration that will flow
from the war devasted regions
of Europe will be taken there,
and we will have as neighbors a
population similar to that now
in the west.

A Deplorable Accident, The Drother Of Mrs
D. ". Alderman, Jr. Victim.

As a result of a JOY ride in an
automobile last Sunday night,
Robert S. Harrison, a young
merchant; A. D. Taylor and John
E. Richter, Jr., employees of
the Florence Gas Co., are dead
and ]. W. Wilson, the manager
Of the gas plant, is very serious
ly injured. The automobile in
which the four men were rid
ing went into the middle Of Black
Creek stream, at what IS known
as Muses. Bridge, four. miles
North Of this city. shortly after
9 o'clock. The three dead men
we're drowned and Wilson, the
fouth. anly saved himself by a
miracle.
From what can be learned and
from the testimony given to the
coroner today, it seems that
Taylor left home about 9 o'clock
TO go to a garage to get some
work done on his automobile.
After leaving the house he pick
ed up the three other men and
went out for a Joy ride. Having
made a trip around what is
known as the ''loopt' they re-
turned and one Of them left the
car and Wilson joined the party.
They drove out across High Hill
Creek in the direction of Back
Swamp, and as they were pass
ing over the high bridge at Black
Creek: going at a good speed,
the car suddenly swerved to the
right into the guard rail on the
bridge and over the middle of
the stream, turning completely
over.
Wilson, not knowing where he
was, but finding himself under
the water. managed to get free
and dive from under the side of
the car. The stream being one of
the swiftest in the county, swept
him some 200 yards down the
current, and after, considerable
effort in the darkness, managed
to reach the bank, where he
pulled himself out of the water.
Not knowing where he was, but
hearing dogs bark, and after
