Joy Rider Broke Nose
Hurry-up Trip on Shortest Day
of Year Brings Disaster

Two teeth and broken nose was
the toll taken by humpy road when
two young men from Cyrus undertook
to make record time in trip home
from Morris Monday afternoon.
August johnson lost his teeth and
Oscar Holden is the man with the
injured nose.
After lingering about the city for
several hours the boys discovered Mon
day was the shortest day of the year,
and that they must hurry to get to
that dear Cyrus. They cranked the
car, put up the top and side curtains
and gave orders to the chauffeur. When
the car reached slight elevation in
the road about three miles east of
Morris, August and Oscar went bound
ing from their seats like rubber balls.
They awaited along the ceiling with
such vigor that when Augustus face
struck one of the ribs two teeth were
sacrificed. Oscar rubbed his nose
across the seat with such force that a
large area of cuticle was removed and
it is believed some of the cartilage
cracked.
Both men will recover, and both
seem to treat the accident in a hum.
orous vein.

Gasoline Lamp Lets Go
Four Man Injured and Hotel
Wrecked at BeardsIey

Four men were badly burned and
every pane of glass in the hotel front
at the hotel at Beardsley blown out in
a gasoline lamp explosion which oc-
erred Thursday evening last week.
smong those injured were the land
lords son. Elmos Smith, of Alex
andria, and a man named Burns
whose home is said to be at Graceville.
Smith is we'll known in this city. He
is cigar salesman and formerly lived
at Glenwood. He came here to have
his injuries attended to by DR.. Fitz-
ergald, an old friend.
1t appears that Landlord Morrow
had some difficulties with his old
lamp and took it to the hardware store
for repairs. He received a large
street lamp in return, for temporary
use. 1t was suspended over the
writing desk in the hotel lobby where
it burned for three hours and then
let go. Three men we're sitting under
il at the same time. The landlords
son was in an adjoining room with an
open door between. In the explosion
every pane of glass in the lobby front
was ripped out and the front in the
room adjoining went out sash and
all. Remnants of the lamp were
picked up half block away.
Smith was burned about the face
; and hands and his clothing was
j burned. Burns was frightfully burned
about the hands, and the man in the
! adjoining room suffered in having
all the exposed parts of his body
burned. The fourth man was only
slightly injured. Smith rushed into
the street where he was successful
in putting out the Ere in his hair. He
says the room was sheet of fame ss
the fronts went out. All the calendars
and pictures about the walls of the
hotel lobby were burned. The damage
to the building will amount to about
$500. partly covered by insurance.
| Since the exp osion the hotel has been
closed.
The accident happened about 7:3C
O'Clock. About dozen men were ir
the dining room. Ten minutes later
they would have been lounging in thG
lobby. The train on which theyarrivec
was late and this saved them.

SALE OF WASHINGTON RELICS
Hair Seems to Be Declining in Price,
But Letter Commands High
Figure.

Coincidentally. from London and
New York, there came to light two
curious items of Americana, both con-
corning souvenirs of George Wash
ington's administration as first presi-
dent of the United States. 1t appears
that the famous generals hair is de-
clining in price, while one of his let
tiers is selling at a high figure.
The hair, lock which is asserted
upon oath to be one clipped from the
head of Washington by one Of the pail
bearers at his funeral, and which sold
last year at auction for $3.50, was dis
posed of at a sale Of Americana here
recently for 500.
At the same time in London letter
written by Washington on the day aft
er his election as the first president OF
this country was sold for 5000. The
letter is one to Samuel Powell, dated
February 5. 1889.
The letter was never published. In
it Washington refers to George Ills
first attack Of madness, saying. "Be
the cause of the British kings insan-
ity what it may, his situation OF

There are people born with silver
spoons in their 1nouths-as the an

likewise who are born to sleep under
linen sheets. And to those who have

satiny luxury of linen sheets and pill
low slips, cotton bed garnishments of
the sort are even an intolerable pie

are not so excessively costly that they
are hopelessly beyond the reach of

ALL LIKE CAULIFLOWER
MANY WAYS OF COOKING PoPU.
LAR VEGETABLE.
When One Tires Of the Dreamed Prep
aration, Turn to Any One Of the
Other Forms That May
Strike Your Fancy

There are few vegetables that vary
as greatly according to the way in
which they are cooked as cauliflower
does, To begin with, of course, the
head should be tender and white, if
possible 1t should be carefully wash
ed. Then it should be soaked for half
an hour in cold water to which tea
spoonful each of salt and vinegar to
every quart are added, in which time
insects which chance to be In the
cauliflower will come out and rise to
the surface of the water. Then the
cauliflower bay be tied in coarse
muslin bag or square Of cheesecloth
and plunged, stem end down. into a
kettle of boiling water slightly sailed.
Cook for 20 to 80 minutes, as over
cooked cauliflower has strong flavor
and turns dark, and is, moreover, in
digestible.
Dreamed caulif1ower is, of course,
the most usual sort. Break the head
into f1owerlets as soon as it is cooked,
and season with half a teaspoonful Of
salt and a third of teaspoonful of
pepper. Have ready for every pint OF
caulifiower cream sauce made from
a tablespoonful Of butter, half tea
spoonful Of -four and two cups OF milk,
seasoned with half teaspoonful Of
salt, The sauce should be cooked for
about II minutes, until 1t is smooth
and thick. Dreamed cauliflower can
be served plain or on slices Of toast
Chopped parsley or lemon juice can
be added to the sauce just before it Is
poured over the cauliflower.
Boiled caulifiower can be served
with lemon juice. pepper, salt, grated
nutmeg and melted butter.
Cauliflower au gratin is made from
caulif1ower broken in large pieces be-
fore 1t is boiled, and then cooked for
about 20 minutes. Put the pieces in
a baking dish and sprinkle them with
grated cheese. Then sprinkle the dish
with fine bread crumbs and small
pieces of butter Pour over the whole
a sauce made from two beaten egg
yolks to which are added saltspoon-
of salt teaspoonful Of lemon juice,
two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, a
tablespoonful of melted butter and
a little pepper. Brown in the oven.
Stuffed caulifower is made of a
head of cauliflower boiled whole until
it is tender. 1t should then be dropped
in cold water to blanch and then the
heart should be cut out and chopped
with half a dozen mushrooms. and
some cayenne pepper. Put the stufing
in the cavity in the head and put the
whole on a hot dish, covered with
a piece of cheesecloth, in the oven
for a moment to heat. Do the work
quickly, so that the caulifiower will
not need much heating. Serve with
white sauce.
