pAlNrIEs FOR cHILDREN's PAR
TIES.

One OF the things.to guard against
IN serving childreH fsstRat they must
have no very rich food, or very H.
tie. Children are exceedingly fond Of
ice cream, and II not too rich or
served in too large quantities, 1t Is not
harmful.
Sweet sandwiches, marguerites and
fruits of all kinds make enough va
riety to please the small people, with
no after Ill effects.
Stewed prunes, mixed and chopped
with nuts and used for a sandwich I'LL
ing, are most appetizing. Cut them In
different shapes, as often the appear
ance will decide the liking or not fo1
the food. Cut in crescents, hearts.
finger size or in circles; placed on q
pretty plate, they will appeal to the
taste of most any child.
Sponge cakes baked in gem pans
and filled, when cold, with whipped
cream which has been sweetened and
favored, are always a delight to young
or old
A delicious dessert for children, az
well as food of high value, are figs
and raisins stewed together. The
fruits should be served cold with
brown bread and butter. If an extra
rich and elegant dish is desired, add
whipped cream.
A marshmallow dropped In the cur
of cocoa takes the place Of cream and
is enjoyed by the little people.
Meringue cases may be made
at home by piping whipped white Of
egg and sugar into cup shapes and
baking. Serve these filled with ice
cream, garnished with candied cher
ries.
Another nice dessert is chopped
marshmallows, few nuts and sweet
ened whipped cream.
Lemon jelly, or any gelatine jelly
with marshmallows stirred in 1t ant
nodded makes an attractive and ef
fective pudding.
A half of a peach or pear, will
whipped cream and sprinkling o
chopped nuts, with nut bread sand
witches, is a most satisfying dessert.
Hot scotch sconeE split and sprea'
with butter and orange marmalad'
are delicious sandwiches which TAX
the place of cake.

Hairyins In the Subway.

Hairpins the blonde kind-held
up a subway express train at the
Bowling Green station for ten min
utes the other day.
The young woman of course one
went with the hairpins--was beauti-
full, blonde and buoyant. AS she
started to leave the train hairpin
fell out, and as she bent to pick. it
up others followed.
Men passengers helped her re
trieve them. Soon her hair fell
down. Using the door as a mirror,
she twisted it up while one man
held her hat and dozens of eager
hands held hairpins.
The crowd was half in and half
out the car.
Madam, you're holding up this
train!" yelled a guard.
Il should worry" she smiled at
him.
The hairpin holders frowned. The
girl finished, dabbed her nose with
bit of powder and smiled again.
Then the train started New

THE COTTON

AS yet nothing definite has been done
to relieve the cotton situation and it is not
expected that any decision will be reached
for some time. In the meantime the farm
ers are having bales on top of bales piled
up and are unable to dispose of them.
1t will not be many days before the
Spectator comes upon the scene and it is to
the advantage of the farmers to avoid such
people. The best possible solution to the
present problem is the bonded warehouses
and congresses. For a very small amount
of money the farmer can have his cotton
stored in a bonded warehouse and can also
borrow on the warehouse receipts.
The congresses should also be taken III
to consideration during this time. as one can
store many more bales by having his cotton
compressed. The local compress can store
some fifteen thousand bales of cotton.
As soon as a farmer has his cotton gin

THE REASON FOR THE WAR.

The Glen Elder, Kansas, Sentinel, fur
nishes the most strikingly interesting ex-
PLANTATION of the present war in Europe:
AS we understand it, a Servian socialist
who was partly sane when sober got drunk
and killed an Austrian noble and his noble
escort. Austria, observing the unseemiy
incident, addressed herself sternly to Ser
via, somewhat as follows: See here, kid,
no rough stuff. propose to be a father to
you. Come into the woodshed. Hold
on, y says Russia, don't you dare lay a fin
ger on that kid, Austry; he's my kid, says
he, and anyhow you'd make a fine father
for anyone don't think" he says.
Think again, you big slob, say Austria,
If you can think twice in one day. he
says, and while you're thinkin', think
what | am telling you" he says i don't
like the color of your eyes, and your nose
offends me and your feet don't track; be-
sides, " says he, and can lick you,' he
says, and I will too" Good boy, Aus
try, sings out Wilhelm; i can lick him
myself, | can lick anybody; why can lick
everybody" says Wilhelm. We'll take
him on together and show him, says he.
So Germany starts France and slips up, in

off, says he. ouch, be patient. Belgy,"
says Wilhelm. Beg pardon; I'll get off
when / have to" says he. Excuse me,
or I'll soak you," he says. Now, watch me
paste CASTOR one" No fair" says
France. Il wasn't looking, anyhow" says
he. Take that" says he, slipping Will
helm a hot one. Il hate a fight" says
England, ''but | can bust the jaw of any
u that slaps my dear friend CASTOR,
whom | don't like at all, " he says, but will
defend until death, +" he says. You don't
hate it worser than me-, /" says Japan, stand
ing back for an opening. Anyhow, you
started it." says Wilhelm to Nicholas.
you started it yourself" yells everybody
to everybody else sticking out their tongues.
Then they all clinch, and the little fellows
dance around watching for a chance to get
in a punch and run.
Moral: If you want to fight all you
have to do is to say so.
