What He Meant.

Many years ago there was an Ameri.
can missionary located among the In
dams in the far West who was of a
hospitable turn of mind. He always
kept hard cider on the premises. II
any one of his widely scattered flock
of Indians CHANGED to call upon him,
he would bring them forth a jug OF
it. One day a strange Indian called
one whom he had never seen before
evidently an unconverted heather, SO

but converted to the consumption of
alcoholic beverages. He, as it turned
out, had been coached after the man

acquaintance with English was linn

cob, Jonah, Job, Satan, Beelzebub, .
and then paused, evidently expecting
a reply What on earth do you

The Bonnie Conductor Lassie.

Edinburgh, Scotland. has two dozen
women street car conductors who are
a thorough success in the new line of
work. Other tramways are already
recruiting girls and training them to
be conductors. 1t is said that girls
working in the English cartridge fac

that some of them work thirty hours
in a stretch without any rest. Miss
Elizabeth Lister has been appointed a

COLDS SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

II was In 1898 that the rush of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached It's
food. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners, but they have place in the
long history of the gold hunters. the
men OF all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one lightened with the story
Of success.
FL. M Cadell recently visited the
Klondike and there made study OF
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account of the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadets report into print. 10
is an interesting document. Some OF
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years OF the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful. A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon
ey away. Easy come, easy go. This
sort of thing has marked gold min
ing in all ages. The Klondike is not
what 1t was, but human nature stays
the same. The discovery Of gold at
the North pole would start a north
ern migration that would take no &C
count of the insuperable obstacles Of
distance and cold. The lure is IRE
sistible.-Chicago Post.

WILL AERoPLANEs STOP WAR
orvilIe Wrieht#Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other?. The reason, as l figure it out.
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at I'M
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected it to be a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, few months. To-
day it looks as If it might run into
years before one side can dictate
terms. Now, nation that may be
willing to undertake war lasting a
few months may well hesitate about
engaging in one that will occupy years.
The daily cost of great war is Of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be so great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor. as it
seems to me. in bringing this about.

he held that tie company was not jus

HOT WEATHER MEALS
COMBINATIONS THAT GO WELL IN
THE SUMMER.
Hot Savory and a Cold Salad Are Al.
ways to Be Recommendations
Suggestions That Are Worth
Remembering.

A hot savory and a cold salad make
a good combination for the summer
luncheon, and the sayory is a useful
dish for the disposition of leftover
scraps of meat, fish, etc.
The foundation Of a sayory is usually
a triangle on a finger of buttered brown
bread toast, or fried bread, pastry or
biscuit. The filing may be varied in
definitely. and its arrangement de-
ponds upon available materials.
Here are a few suggestions for the
use Of materials common to all house
holds:
Tomato Toast.-Half an ounce OF
butter, two ounces of grated cheese,
one tablespoonful of tomato; paprika.
Melt the butter and add the tomato
(either canned or fresh stewed), then
the grated cheese; sprinkle with papri-
ka and neat on the stove. Tut bread
into rounds or small squares, fry a n !
pour over each slice the hot tomato
mixture.
Ham T~oast.-Alince a little leftover

pan with a piece Of butter. Add a lit
the pepper and paprika. When very
hot pile on hot buttered toast. Any
leftover scraps of fish or meat may be
used up in a similar way, and make
an excellent savory to serve with a
green salad.
Sardine Savories.-Sardines. one
hard-boiled egg, brown bread, pars-
ley. Cut the brown bread into strips
and butter them. Remove the skin
and the bones from the sardines and
lay one fish on each finger of the
bread. Chop the white Of the egg
into fine pieces and rub the yolk
through a strainer. Chop the parsley
very fine and decorate each sardlne
with layers of the white, the yolk
and the chopped parsley. Season with
pepper and salt.
Oyster Savories.-These make a
more substantial dish. and are deli
cious when served with a celery salad:
Six oysters, six slices Of bacon, fried
bread, seasoning. Cut very thin strips
Of bacon; the bacon that can be pur-
chased already shaved is best for the
rpo Season the oysters With pep
Der and salt, and wrap each in a
slice Of the bacon, pinning it together
with a wooden spiint "a tOothplckl.
Place each oyster on a round OF toast
or Of fried bread, and cook in the
oven for about five minutes. Serve
very hot, and sprinkle with pepper.
Cheese Savories.-Butter slices OF
bread and sprinkle over them q mix
ture CT grated cheese and paprika. Set
them in a pan and place the pan IN
the oven leaving it there until the
bread is colored and the cheese set,
Serve very hot.
