HE FOLLOWED THE CROWD
Uncle BiIIys Idea Was All Right, But
as 1t Turned Out 1t Spoiled His
Visit to Fair.

Uncle Billy walked into the village
store about the middle of the after
noon, and the storekeeper, waking
from his nap, said: Thought you'd
gone to the state fair"
Il did," was the brief reply, as
Uncle Billy helped himself to a chair.
Didn't you like it,"
Uncle Billy looked round cautiously.
The other village loafers were hay
ing game of horseshoe" in front of
the blacksmith shop; SO lowering his
voice, he said, confdentially, It'll tell
you how it happened. l hadn't been
to the state fair for 20 years, so l
wasn't on to it very well. I decided
I'd keep an eye on the crowds, and
foller where they seemed the thick
est. Well, it worked pretty well. l
went around to a good many fine dis
plays and shows and things. About
noon, saw lot of fne-dressed folks
goin' all in one direction, SO I took
after EN-. They all pushed and
damned to get through an archway,
and 1 pushed, too. Well, what d'you
guess it was?"
Give it up" the storekeeper said,
eager for the climax.
We'll, they were all city folks, goin'
home to dinner, and there 1 stood on
the outside. I wasn't goin' to pay no
50 cents to get back in, SO I lit out
for home. I thought I'd stop in here
for a spell, to keep the family from
askin' questions about my gettfn'
home SO early."-Youth's Companion.

RECIPE FOR CUSTARD SAUCE
Ingredients Must Be Carefully Mixed
Best to Make 1t First Thing
In the Morning.

Beat the yolks Of the eggs and add
one-quarter cupful of sugar. Stir into
this gradually two cupfuls of scalded
milk. When completely mixed place
on the stove in a double boiler and
cook until the mixture thickens. ADD
teaspoonful of vanilla and chill thor
oughly.
1t is a very good plan to make this
dessert the first thing in the morn
ing. While the breakfast is cooking
it can be made ready for the ice box.
1t will be ready to whip after the
breakfast dishes are washed and lit
tie time is required for the custard.
An attractive pink pudding can be
made if the pink coloring matter that
is found in nearly every box of gelatin
is used. This can be served on the
second day with crushed fruit. When
favored with pineapple and covered
with crushed strawberries this is in
deed a delicious dessert. 1t is better
to leave the pudding uncolored In that
case, as the white and red look very
attractive in contrast.

Ancestry and Posterity.

Any man who comes of good stock,
and especially an individual whose
forbears were God-fearing and intelli.
gent people, may well take satisfac-
ton in his family line, but such a
heredity creates an extra obligation
to walk worthy of the traditional faith.
1T is a good thing to have ancestors
to ones credit" some one has said,
but better to be a credit to our an
cestors." 1t ought to be the earnest
aim and endeavor of each successive
generation not only to equal, but, IL
it be possible, to surpass, the mental
and moral attainments Of its predeces,

Prevent Sirup Sticking.

To prevent strip from sticking to
the sides Of pitcher treat the pitcher
as follows: Rinse out the pitcher
with hot water. Melt a teaspoonful
Of butter, pour it into the warm pitch
er, shaking and turning it until it
has covered all parts. Pour out what
remains through the lip or spout.
Put the pitcher where it will become
cold The butter will adhere to the
bottom and sides. 1t is then ready
for the strip. which will not stick
as formerly. This may seem like a
good deal of red tape, but it is easier
than scraping and soaking pitcher
to get it clean.

Ancient ENGLISH Trees.

Undoubtedly the most remarkable

probably a fragment of the ancient
forests Of Britain, and many of the

very old. 1t Is matter of history

is, they had their heads cut off-by
