HE SHOULD HAVE THE BEST
All the HospItable Instincts Of the
Mother Were Aroused at Artists
Modest Request.

Ralph Perkins, an artist making a
sketching tour through Rhode Island,
CHANGED one day upon a picturesque
old barn, so alluring to his eye that he
sat down on a stone wall and imme-
dIately set to work.
He soon became aware that he had
two spectators in the persons Of the
farmer and his wife. who had come to
watch him.
Presently the artist discovered that
be had lost his rubber eraser, and,
wishing to correct an error In the
sketch. he went up to the farmers
wife and asked her II he might have
q piece Of dry bread. This, as is uni
versally known. made q good eraser.
The farmers wife looked at him
with an expression Of pity not I'M
mixed with surprise.

On Josie's face there was q look Of
admiration which was balm to Broad
ways soul; the Judge had listened
with q mouth continually opening
wider; Wallace was frankly triumph

You haven't a tottering old man to
deal with now, but young man-full
Of fire and fight, Of energy and ambi-
ton! Look"
Bob himself knew this to have been
a fine fight. He pointed with ges-
ture full of drama at Broadway. who
did the best he could to meet the stu
alton with an attitude which might
have broken Pembroke's gravity had
he been less absorbed and incensed.
I'VE have an article which, on its
own merits, has stood up under almost
impossible competition" Wallace con.
tinued in a tone Of triumph. I'VE
have the goods to deliver, and we're
going to fight and beat you at your
own game. We're going to make you
take your own medicine, Mr.. Pembroke.
We're going to make you compete with
us. We're going to advertise as no ar
ticle was ever advertised before.
We're going to post and plaster from
one end of the country to the other.
We're going to snow you under. that's
what we're going to do, and we're in a
position to do It,"
Broadway was as proud OF Wallace
as he had been Of himself. What do
you think OF that?" he asked the
startled Pembroke.
Pembroke smiled. He had a well
trained face. He also was an egotist,
both for himself and for his company.

said Wallace.
Pembroke! Oh, yes; some Of the
men told me that he is In town.
What's he coming here for?"

not going to take it." He grinned up
at Broadway. We don't need It. do

jackson looked at him with mourn

had left behind in New York city.

The Judge saw his young friends

the people of this town very happy to-
day. my boy. You ought to sleep well
after this. They owe you q great
debt"
jackson passed the compliment, but
WINGED. please don't talk about debts!
Let's get on a cheerful subject" With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wallace. 'How's the bar

The Judge seized this opportunity
to extol local genius. Amt he a

YES" said Wallace dryly, he cut

assented heartily. He's from Hart

one another.
Wallace looked around appreciative-
ly. The old gentleman had pretty
nice Offices here"
YES" the Judge agreed. He nod
ded toward the desk at which Broad.
way had carelessly taken his position.
Seems strange not to see him sit
ting at that desk" He sighed. First,
old Oscar Jones sat there, and he
died; then John sat there, and he died;
then Andrew sat there. and he died;

Broadway, who had listened to the
brief but tragical recital with expand.
ing orbs, got up, and. as he edged
away from the too fatal piece OF once
furniture, eyed 1t with suspicion and
distaste. That's the last time I'll sit
there" he declared.
But Judge Spotswood had not seen
the byplay and did not hear the youths
resolve. He was launched on remInis-
cence. Every man In the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty bad. Just think-he was alive
70 hours ago, and now the whole
towns in mourning!"
It was at this juncture that Higgins,
q new and happy Higgins, entered.

smiling genially. Excuse me, Mr..
Jones, the men want to know II you
have any objection to their celebrat-
ing tonight"
He bowed respectfully to Josie, who
entered at that moment.
They're thinking Of having q torch
light parade and fireworks in honor
OF your taking up things at the works.
Is II all right?"
The Judge beamed happily. What
could be more significant Of the new
day which had dawned on Jonesville
than this speech from Higgins, erst-
while the dissatisfied, the complainant
That's q bully ideal" he exclaimed

you mean the Empire Advertising
company Is behind this business?"
The Empire Advertising company. 1t
must be remembered. was the largest
In the world.
Wallace had not thought Of that. He
had not meant to say the Empire was
actually behind Jones Pepsin gum.
But now that Pembroke had suggested

the important fact that his father, not
himself, was president Of the Empire
Advertising company. he took the
plunge.
That's Just what mean. and we're
going to do FIVE times as much adver-
Using as you ever did. and at one
tenth the cost"
Then my people do no more busi-

sneered. then lets see how much out

Pembroke rose. He was not happy.

The Judge grinned at him In COM

that Pembroke has gone about his

Just a little better-if they could feel
any better. He'll spread the news In
a jiffy."
We'll, what did you think Of it,?
Wallace asked Of Jackson. How
about It, now that it's all over?"
Broadway was q little dubious. TITS

play it," he inquired, reverting to the
atrical slang OF that street he had
loved and lost so much on.

'Sh0rt Cuts for H@ws@k@@p@rs

horsehair that covered her parlor set
The fabric of today, with it's stripes
and designs. is much more beautiful to
the eye, but it collects the dust to the
of today responds to the same treat
ment as the homely black horsehair
of long ago. After it has been thor
oughly brushed with a stiff whisk-
broom, it should be wiped off with a
cloth wrung out of hot water, to which
has been added household ammonia.
The proper amount of the ammonia is
about a tablespoonful to a quart of
water. Be careful to wipe with the
grain of the horsehair.
Casters, even at the best. are rarely
all that could be desired. In their
place, buy large glass marbles. In each
foot of the piece of furniture bore a
hole trifie larger than the diameter
of the marble and to a depth somewhat
more than half that diameter. Nearly
fill this hole with d thick paste OF
plaster of Paris, then press one of the
marbles in little more than half its
size. When the plaster has stiffened a
little. trim it off with a sharp knife
flush with the bottom of the leg. Fur
niture thus mounted will slide as free
ly as when mounted on the average
caster, and there will be much less
wear on the carpets or floors.
1t is sometimes puzzle to know how
to secure loose, wooden door knobs in
place, the iron to the enlarged hole in
the wooden knob The best way is to
wind the shank closely with ordinary
cotton cord, then apply glue and slip
the knob on. The glue will hold firmly
between the cord and the wood, and
a door sticks at the sill or at the top
or sides, common yellow soap rubbed
on the places will remove the trouble,
and the door will open and shut easily.

THE salad of the hour. no matter
what it's other ingredients may
be, contains some kind of nuts.
Mixed with greens and salad dressing
no more delicious article of diet can
be imagined than are the meaty fruit
kernels, their own crisp flavor being
doubly enhanced when blended with the
oil and vinegar of the dressing. Then,
too, the nuts which are used in
salads, such as walnut, hickory nut,
almonds. pecans, etc, are all filled
with tissue building nourishment, and
form a splendid substitute for meat.
Hence the value of the nut salad dur
ing the weeks of Lent, when SO much
other heterogeneous food is denied. Nuts
play an important part in all the
following recipes:
wATERCREss SALAD.-Allow the
watercress to stand half an hour in
cold water, SO that it will become
crisp. Then free from moisture by
swinging in a wire basket. Rub the
salad bowl with a small piece of
cress Stand the bowl on ice and
shell a cupful of pecan nuts, remov-
ing the kernels as nearly whole as
possible. A few minutes before time
watercress thoroughly with a dressing
made by mixing one-half teaspoonful of
salt, one-quarter teaSpoonful of mus
tard, a dash of black pepper and dash
of red pepper, or paprika, with three
tablespoonful of Italian salad oil. To
this also can be added one-half tea
spoonful of sugar. The suggestion of
sweetness is liked by the majority of
persons. Now drop into the oil grad
ually one tablespoonful of vinegar
which is not too sharp. This may not
be sufficient dressing to marinate the
cress, but the quantity can be increased
according to the above proportions.
Pare carefully an apple which is a lit
tie tart, and after cutting it in very
thin slices, spread over the cress with
a layer Of nuts above. Sprinkle with
dressing and serve at once.
POTATO SALAD-Boil until tender
six or eight unspotted potatoes. AS
soon as they are cold remove the
skins and cut into slices three -eighths
of an inch in thickness or into small
cubes. Sprinkle with a very little
chopped parsley. Remove the kernels
from English walnuts until there is a
cupful. Chop them up finely and
spread over the potatoes. Now mari
nate the. combination with a French
dressing made according to the direc-
tons in watercress salad. The pota-
toes will absorb a great deal. While
mixing be careful not to break the
pieces Of potato, for to be appetixing
the salad must not look mussy.
EGGPLANT SALAD.-Boi1 an egg
plant rapidly for half an hour. When
done scoop out the center and cut into
