CHILDREN SHOULD NOT WEEP
Wise Man Says to Cry on Any Day In
Week 10 sad-Rules No Good for
older Boys and Girls.

There are millions of children in the
world who want to do just the right
thing and the very best thing; but
they do not always know what Just the
right thing is. and sometimes they can
not tell the very best thing from the
very worst thing.
Now have often thought that there
are children who cry. now and then. at
the wrong time: and l have asked
many OF the older people. but none of
them could tell me the best time to
cry.
But the other day met a man older
and wiser than any OF the rest. He
was very old and very wise. and he
told me:
II y bad luck TO cry on Monday.
To cry on Tuesday makes the eyes
red.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for chill
dren's heads. and for the heads Of
older people.
II is said that II a child begins to
cry on Thursday he will find II hard to
stop.

Friday-it makes them unhappy.

please, but not at any OF these times.

but seldom obey you when he thinks
he is out OF reach Of the dreaded whip.

HINTS FOR PRESERVE CLOSET
Picked Peaches Should by All Means
ss Among the Condiments Stored
Branded Cherries.

Picked peaches are a dinner con-
diment OF unparalleled excellence.
/ Many people prefer picked fruit to
the sweeter jellies and preserves and
the good housekeeper always puts up
picked dainties as we'll as preserves,
jellies and Jams for her wellstocked
winter fruit closet.
Here Is a tried and true recipe for
picked peaches: To seven pounds OF
selected peaches allow half as many
pounds OF graduated sugar. one quart
OF vinegar. two ounces each OF stick
cinnamon and cloves. Dissolve the
sugar In the hot vinegar, add the
spices and boil for six minutes; add
the peaches and boil slowly until the
peaches have become soft enough to
be pierced easily by a fork. Turn
out the fruit and boil the strip down
20 one-half. Now put In the peaches
again and let the whole just come TO
q boil. Pour into q deep crock and
cover when cold.
A Virginian housekeeper recon-
mends this recipe for branded cher
ries: Cover large. oxheart cherries
which have been stoned with some
excellent brandy and let stand for AZ
hours. Add 10 the mixture sugar In
q proportion OF pound for pound. Do
not cook, but seal In glass Jars and
set away In a cool. dry place. These
cherries are delicious for garnishins
whipped cream and frozen desserts.
They may also be served In home
mixed cocktails.

Comrades of Dead
 Soldier Would Know
 His Burial Place

George @. Whitney of g Union place, Hartford has written The Farmer for particulars concerning the death of Edward $. Spring in the Greens Farms section of Westport on the night of July 5th. Spring it will be recalled was burned to death in his home, one of the oldest houses in the town Since the death Of his wife Spring had lived the life of a rec1use. It was known that he had served in the Civil war but from the letter written The Farmer by MT. Whitney, it appears that he was a member of the 18th Conn. Vols. His Hartford comrades have Just learned Of his death and are anxious to secure the particulars. Nothing but the chiFn- ney and cellar walls of the Spring house were left standing and after the fire no trace of the bones of the 1lrl- fortunate old soldier could Joe found among the ashes in the cellar. Under the direction Of a relative of MT. Spring all the ashes were taken up and buried in the Southport cemetery
