TELLS OF
NARROW ESCAPES
Local Recruiting officer Was
Target for Entire Company
but Escaped Death.

If anyone has ever come as close 10
death as B. II. Frisby. local United
states army recruiting officer, and es-
capped without scratch. Mr.. Frisby
would like TO hear something about It.
At Ito gum. Cuba, couple Of years
ago. Frisby was detailed to keep score
while the various companies were a.
target practice. He left the range for
a few moments 10 get some water,
the only exit being through the front
cf the range where the targets were
X Gated.
lie left the range safely and secured
the water. returning as far as the gate
where a telephone booth was located.
Frisby called the headquarters where
the soldiers were located and was in
formed that the coast would be clear
as soon rs three more volleys had
been fired.
The soldiers were shooting over a
pile of brush. at an indirect range of
1000 feet. and could not see the tar
gets at which they were aiming. The
sights on the rifles were set TO carry
over the brush and he targets consist
ed of prone. kneeling and standing
figures.
After three vOlleys had been fired
Frisby again called headquarters and
was told TO come in as the range was
now safe. He therefore left the booth
and started TO walk across the field,
going in and out among the standing
and kneeling figures OF the targets.
He had hardly proceeded % yards
when he noticed the serge ant station
ed OF the brush heap. waving his arms
frantica.ly. The sergeant was the
OILY man in sight as the firing squad
was out OF view over the brush pile.
Frisby wondered why the sergeant
gesticulated so wildly. but before he
could give the matter further thought.
n volley CT shots from 4 hundred guns.
rang out in the air. The ground
all about Frisby was plowed up
by countless bullets. while several tar
gets beside him were struck. The
was shot completely away. but Fris.
by escaped without a scratch.
He walked into headquarters un.
harmed. and received the congratula-
tons OF soldiers and officers on all
sides. He learned that there had
boon one more volley than was ex-
pected.
But that was by no means Frisby's
only narrow escape. He came almost
as close to death once before while
stationed ut Fort ID. ~ Russell. in
Wyoming.
He was sitting in a chair on the sec
ond floor OF the fort and got up to get
from his chest in the cor |
ner OF the room. He had barely left
the chair when a bullet crashed
through the very center and continu- |
ing up through the ceiling. went out
through the roof.
Investigation showed that one OF |

the shot going through the
ceiling and passing through the chair
which FTisby had so recently occu-
bed. Death would have been certain
iad he remained in the chair a few
seconds longer.

Sense of Taste Needed.
Change is the sauce that sharpens
the appetite"
No one understands the art of change
in sauces better than the French peo-
pie. and we are very much in their debt
for this greatest art of all cooking
making sauces.
It is the one branch of cookery
which seems to defy accuracy in rec
ipes, as, after all, it is the fine sense
of taste and seasoning, with combina-
lions. which makes the simplest dish
entirely new, while in st. Louis recent
ly dining at the famous Faust res
taurant we were served with chicken
a la victor.r We ali commented on
this most delicious dish, which was
served with a sauce, and wondered
how it was made. "Oh, that is the
chefs secret 1t is the sauce. madame,
that makes the dish,' was the reply,
and we quite agreed with him.
Everyone should know how to make
a simple sauce, or foundation sauce it
is sometimes called, and from this
many sauces are made. A thick sauce
is made for all croquettes and medium
and very thin sauces. for all meats and
vegetables.
One Cup of Sauce.
Butter or vegetable fat, two table
spoonfuls; flour. two tablespoonfuls;
salt. one-half teaspoonful; pepper;
liquid, one cup.
Directions-The butter is put into a
as it can never burn nor cook too fast
then. When melted, add the flour and
rub until smooth. Then add gradually
the cup of liquid. which may be milk
or cream if for white sauce. Add the
seasonings and stir until it is the de-
sired thickness. This is good basis
for all sauces. If tomato sauce is de-
sired, cook a little onion with the but
ter until yellow and proceed as for
white sauce, using a cup of strained to-
matoes instead of milk or cream.
Where stock is desired for the liquid.
use a bay leaf. kitchen bouquet if de
sired, or TIE flour Drowned. Double
the given amount of flour must be
used when Drowned.
Lemon juice may be used. few
drops at time. in white sauce to
blanch or whiten it. Never over-season
a sauce. Decide upon the kind of
sauce and how TO be used. Then. if I;
an orange sauce. have the orange pre- |
dominate. and all the other flavor /
should merely be an accompaniment to
this. 1t is this careful combination of I
seasonings which is the highest art of
sauce making.
