Children, Color Up This Picture.
By JOHN M. OSKISON

Copyright, by Mcclure Newspaper syndi-
cate.)
Long time ago, In the still dusk of
the woods away up on side of rough
mountain, the turkey gobblers used to
come out on the little patches Of
smooth grass and talk to one another.
And down by the river, where the
houses of the people fronted the sun
set, the little Indian boys would hear
the talk Of the turkeys and ask the old
men why 1t was that the turkeys had
such funny voices. And before the
daylight had quite gone, the old men
would tell this story:
It was In time when the birds and
the animals used to play ball together,
when it was hard for the animals to
believe that the birds were really bet
ter players. and when they had game
every few days.
Now, in these ball games, it was the
grouse who had the best voice for hal
loing. 1t was the grouse who kept
close to the great eagle, who was the
captain OF the bird players, and cried
aloud the orders which the great eagle
gave.
It wasn't that the voice of the
grouse was so loud-the great eagle
himself had louder voice, and the
hawk could scream SO that you could
hear him farther, but the voice of the
grouse had something of music in It,
very clear and very easy to under
stand.
The turkey had just got fine red
beard to hang under his chin and he
wanted to make his voice sweeter, for
1t wasn't very good. So one morning
the turkey went to call on the grouse
and even before he sat down he told
the grouse that he wanted to be taught
to make his voice sweet.

Just at sunset 1t was that our
boat sailed into BremerHaven.
The sky was tinted all the
shades of pink and violet with a
tiny bit of yellow at the hori-
zon. The water was white and
smooth, only here and there reflect
Ing the colors OF the sky. Everywhere
overhead. In front and back OF the
boat sea-gulls were flying They cut
great, graceful circles In the sky with
their wings tilted sidewise. Some
were resting on the water, moving
languidly up and down with the slight
motion of the wavelets, and still
others we're crying and fighting for
the waste food that was being thrown
from the back Of the ship. Their
snow-white wings reflected the pale
sunset colors, writes correspondent
of the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Slowly the boat was steered in be-
tween long, narrow points Of dark
green land. Silhouetted against the
sky were wind-mills and tall straight
trees. Nothing seemed real for we
glided 30 slowly that we seemed to
be on phantom ship IN dream. The
bustling stewards and cabin-boys
broke our reyerie with the exciting
news that the customhouse officials
were waiting to inspect our baggage
that night and If anything can bring
a dreamer back to earth It is a prac-
teal German customhouse officer
with his formal uniform. his great
mustache and his gutteral whitening
query, "Cigarren oder liquer?"
BremerHaven is the home of the
North German Lloyd steamer officers.
These men love the sea and they live
as near to 1t as possible, even after
they have retired from active service.

Sea Captains History.
Last June there was an ex-captain
on board and he had curious history.
At first he impressed one as being
very old, but when he took his cap
OF we saw his hair was not the least
bit gray. He was dressed as much
like real captain as was possible
for a man to be, He always wore dark
blue with cap on his hood. He was
silent and melancholy except when
the Titanic disaster was mentioned
and then he defended Captain Smith

Back Of the exchange is a large
square where stands the statue of Gus

He is dressed In the costume of the

was being transported from Germany

was wrecked. The statue was rescued
and brought back to Bremen The
German seamen raised a fund, pur.

Not far from the Rathaus is another

with vim that seemed almost unwar-
ranted. One day the deck steward
told us his history.
Three years before he had been a
real captain, and no prouder man ever
rode the seas He was taking a
freighter through the Mediterranean
when suddenly in broad daylight he
ran his ship upon sandbar, and the
boat went down. No lives were lost
but the cargo was very valuable and
his stripes were taken from him. and
he was made steerage Inspector. 1t
was easy to see why he had so cham
pioned Captain Smith and said that dis
asters can happen to the best of cap
tains. Eut 1t is one of the traditions
OF the sea that man who has once
lost a ship must never be captain
again.
Bremen is a very attractive city.
Running through the center of the
town is long narrow lake, along
whose banks all the fine residences
of the city are situated. They are
very charming villas, ornamented with
many flowers and trailing vines. The
lake is full of ducks, little ducks. big
ducks. white ducks and black ducks.
Their homes are little houses an

are high and dry and filled with
straw for the little ducklings. and far

ABLE ON ANY OCCASION.
Steak DumpIInGs Something of Nov
elty-RoII Sandwiches Are Worth
Recommendlng-Poa Eggs
In Milk or Cream.

Steak Dumplings.-Cut the steak In
10 finger pieces and let simmer In
very little slightly saited water for
half an hour, or until tender, then lift
from the gravy and let them drain
we'll Boil some potatoes until tender,
drain, season with salt, pepper, little
butter and little hot milk; mash and
beat up very smooth and make them
Into a paste with a little -four. Roll
each strip of steak into piece OF the
potato crust, put them into dripping
pan In which little butter or drip
pings have been melted, and let them
bake slowly about an hour, or until the
potato crust Is well Drowned. Season
the gravy In which the steak is stewed
with salt, pepper. a few drops Of onion
Juice and a little tomato catsup; add
aour to thicken slightly, cook until
smooth and serve In a gravy boat.
Chopped chicken, or veal, or other ten
der cold cooked meat may be substi-
tuted for the steak, and this makes
very substantial luncheon or breakfast
dish.
Poached Eggs in Milk or Cream
Butter an egg poacher and half I'LL
the pan beneath with boiling water.
Break In the required number of eggs,
and as soon as they begin to grow firm
add two tablespoonfuls of milk or
cream. When firm, place upon rounds
Of buttered toast and season with but
ter, salt and pepper. Garnish with
parsley.
Roll Sandwiches.-The bread for
these should be fresh and should be
wrapped for several hours in wet
cloth, wrung out of cold water and
then with dry cloth outside of this.
Cut off the crust, cut in thin slices and
spread with only preferred paste.
These are served at both receptions
and with the salad at dinner, and may
be nothing more than plain bread
and butter sandwiches. They may be
fastened with either a toothpick or a
narrow ribbon. but some vegetable
fber is best.
Club Sandwich.-This Is one of the
heartiest kinds of sandwiches and may
constitute almost q whole meal. It
may be three stories high, and the
bread is commonly toasted and cut
across into diamonds or triangles,
sometimes after the filing is put in.
This consists Of lettuce leaf. on top
of this thin slice of breast Of chicken,
and then very thin broiled ham or ba-
con, with such individual finish of
pickle or olives as the taste suggests.
Pumpernickel Sandwiches:-Put q
very thin slice of pumpernickel bread
between two thin buttered slices OF
white bread. Boston brown bread cut
not quite so thin may be used In the
same way.
Meat Observation-Disclosures any kind
of cold meat may be cut In nice. thin
slices and used for sandwiches Rare
roast beef for this purpose may be sea-
soned well with salt and pepper and
tomato catsup, and then have some
thin slices of dill pickles added. Chick
en- and turkey always furnish the
daintiest of meats for sandwich use
and good mutton is not to be scorned.
