the amount will be repaid upon ap-
plication or claim being filed with the

number of the tax receipt you re-
ceived at the time of making the pay
ment, If convenient, and the matter
will be adju Heated as soon as the
money is on hand from 1915 taxes.

METHOD OF PICKLlNG ONIONS
Writer Makes Some Suggestions
Which Seem to BE Worthy of
Consideration.

Peeling the onions is a decidedly pain
full task, but it is made less so if they
are done in cold water. Some people
even put them in boiling water and
allow them to come to the boil before
peeling them. / prefer the former
plan. With small silver picking onions
to each quart of vinegar allow two
tablespoonfuls OF black peppercorns,
two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level
teaspoonfuls of salt, two bay leaves.
Remove the outer skin with a silver
knife; if a steel one is used the onions
will turn black. If liked, peel them in
a basin of cold water, for, besides
making the operation less painful, IL
helps to whiten them by removing
some of the essential oil. Dry them
lightly In a cloth. Put the vinegar.
spices and bay leaves in a saucepan,
boil them until the vinegar is well
favored, and let it get cold. Put the
onions in jars or wide-necked bottle,
fill them up with the vinegar, adding
a little spice to each bottle. Cork
down tightly. They will be ready for
use in about a month.-Boston Globe,

Back to the Cradle.

Grading wheat will be a new expert
ence to not a few communities this
year, because the watersoaked condi-
ton of the grain fields has made the
ground too soft to operate ponderous
~self-binders, the Wall Street Journal
states. Another reason Is in the
lodged condition of the grain. Yet
within an ordinary lifetime the Ameri-
can grain growing industry has gone
from the primitive hand cradle to the
combination of cutting and thrashing
in a single process. One man swung
the cradle; 20 mules draw the com
bination reaper. But these elephant
inc machines, which sprawl over a
quarter of an acre almost at a sitting,
can do nothing in such fields as south
ern Kansas now has, after a season OF
prolonged rains. Lighter. farm ma
chinery may again come into vogue,
and the machinery companies may
we'll consider WHITTIER the limits OF
big machinery have not been reached,
as tho big ranches come TO be broken
up into smaller estates. This year
may be a turning point.

fine example of this style is shown in
the picture and it is safe to pin ones
faith to it.
In this suit the skirt is not extreme
ly wide. 1t has a fiat panel at the
front and back and is shaped to flare.
with inverted plaits where the side
cores are set in. 1t should be shorter
than it is pictured here, extending not
more than an inch or two below the
top of the average walking shoe. 1t
fits smoothly (but not tight) about the
hips, and fastens at the side.
The long coat is long-waisted, with
the slightly curving line at the under
arm seam which makes of it a semi
fitted model. 1t is becomingly double
breasted, and this is a point that wom-
en- will do well to consider, for it does
much for the figure. The straight
loose-ftting sleeves are finished with
a narrow cuff of velvet, headed with a
band of skunk fur. The collar and
belt are of the fur also.
Silk ornaments, a cord and cloth
covered buttons give the spice of va
riety to the composition of the coat.

Ribbons and laces continue to set
off the faces of maids and matrons
during many hours of the day at
home.
A cap is shown at the left of the
picture given here which sells for
fifty cents. 1t may be had in any Of
the lovely colors into which ribbons
are dyed. Jonquil yellow, rose color,
and blue are great favorites just now.
1t takes a yard of ribbon about five
inches wide to make it, and a yard of
narrow ribbon, one inch or a little
less In width, to make the three small
ribbon flowers and the short loops
that decorate it. A yard of shadow
lace edges the wide ribbon for a frill
about the cap. This lace is bought

The wider strip is used for the frill

edge to the ribbon with two rows of
stitching to form a casing for an
elastic band that is to be run In it.

The difficult part Of making ready
the winter wardrobe now, lies in de.
Gliding upon just what one wants.
If it is a question of the street suit
that is to be decided, a safe answer
lies in two directions at least. The
severely plain tailored suit, with plain
skirt, cut shoe-top length and moder-
ately wide, or a plated skirt, may be
chosen, to be worn with a semiitted
coat having a flaring skirt portion,
long, plain, rather close-itting coat
sleeves and a finish of bone buttons
and inconspicuous stitching. The
plain, tailored suit does not come
back" each season, for the simple rea-
son that it never goes out. 1t is al
ways with us. With some variation
of lines or length or fullness it brings
its own style into line with the pass
ing modes.
Then there are suits on decidedly
new lines. Among them those that
show the influence of the redingote
which has inspired the designers of
so many and such varied models. A

PEACH DAINTIEs OF MERIT
Many Ways Of Preparing Fruit Which
All Appreciate for Its Per
feet Flavor.

ror peach cobbler, prepare plain
pastry from three pints of flour and
three-fourths of a pound of mixed lard
and butter. Line the baking dish with
this and pour in two quarts of freshly
stewed peaches, covering the dish with
a pastry lid, pierced here and there to
let out steam Bake until brown and
then cover thickly with powdered
sugar and serve steaming hot with rich
cream.
Here is another peach pie recipe:
Bake a rich pastry crust until brown
and crisp and then cool. Just at serv-
ing time heap it high with sliced
peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile
whipped cream on top. A variation
Of this recipe is this; Cut short pastry
into squares and fold the four
to the center Moisten them with
milk, press them down so that they
will remain in place, prick the pastry
with a fork and bake one square for
each person. Brown in the oven, chill
and serve piled high with peaches cut
into large pieces, stewed just until
tender and sweetened to taste. Top
with a big spoonful Of whipped cream.
Still another peach pie, the favorite
of a very good cook, is this: Sift to-
gether a cupful and a half of -four, a
quarter of a cupful of sugar, two tea
%spoonfuls of baking powder and a
pinch of salt. Into this cut half a cup
full of butter and add enough milk to
make a stiff batter. Use as little milk
as possible. Roll into a thick sheet,
line a deep pie pan with it and slice
peaches into it. Sweeten them well
and cover them with SOU or sweet
milk, then bake until lone in a mod
crate oven.
A .empting dessert is peach whip.
To make it press ripe peaches through
a vegetable press, sweeten to taste
and mix Immediately with whipped
cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in
tall glasses and serve very cold.
Another tempting dessert is a peach
sandwich, n for each person. Slice a
stale sponge cake and dip the slices
quickly in milk. Then brown in but
ter. Between each two slices pile
freshly sliced, sweetened peaches and
pile on whipped cream.

In the new settlement of Grey,
which is the first town that white men
have built north of the Zambesi, men
passed Dawson and felt ashamed of
their color.
who is that man2' inquired Lady
Sibyl Forrest, who had newly ar
rived at Grey, where her father was
administrator, from London.
THAT? Oh, that's Dawson" an
swered her escort, a young officer in
the mounted police. "Not a very sa-
worry subject, Lady Sibyl. He"
Dawson, lolling in the sun. sat up
and felt his cheeks slow red for the
first time in three years. The young
officer did not tell Lady Sibyl all, but
what he told her was enough, for the
next time she passed Dawson she
looked across the street and hurried
by.
The worst Of it is, the rotter used
to be a gentleman said bennett, the
young officer, to a friend that eve
ming at the club. "Of course, l
couldn't tell Lady Sibyl all-not half.
But when a white man so far de-
grades himself as to live in a kraal
with savages-"
The fellow ought to be kicked out
Of Grey" answered the other.
Dawson had come North with the
best intentions in the world, but he
was constitutionally incapable of max
ing a living, and when reduced to
poverty he blamed his own people. He
wandered up and down the land, with
out the money to take him home or
even to a more decent section.
Drunken, ragged, he was turned from
all doors. Propriety is perhaps strong
est in all frontier settlements, in spite
of the yarns men spin.
Then it was that he had frankly
abandoned civilized life and gone to
the natives. He had always had an
influence over them; they were proud
Of having a white man among them,
and in a short time Dawson found him
self a figure of respect among them.
And, strangely enough, Dawson cut
a very respectable figure squatting
round a fire with a half dozen savage
auditors, whereas he skunk like a dog
through the streets of Grey.
Yet the shame and humiliation ran

think he can go back on his own peo-
pie, he is n of them for the re-
mainder of his life. And SO it came
TO pass that the glance, scornful and
high, of the white girl burned in his
soul.
THE fellow ought to be kicked out
of Grey" one la had said of him,
and the other answered:
They wouldn't have him anywhere
in the world"
Dawson knew that this was the cur,
rent opinion Of him. Often he planned
to escape, to go somewhere where he
could start life anew. But he knew
that his memories would be with him
forever. Nowhere in the world was
there a place for him.
The rumors Of native unrest accent
uated that winter. Dawson, seated
round the fire, had discussed the mat
ter with a dozen of the chiefs. All
agreed that the projected uprising was
madness. They knew the terrible
power Of the white mans guns.
But what can we do?" they said.
Our young men want to flesh their
spears, then"
Dawson knew that the then" had
come when he found that the ami
mated conversation of the natives
would cease abruptly as he appeared.
He knew that they mistrusted him,
because even the savage knows that
white is white and black is black for
ever.
He walked into Grey to warn the
administrator. He was kept waiting
by Lord Forrest for two hours, and
then Lord Forrest sent out word that
he was too busy to receive him.
But, while Dawson was waiting, he
heard a scornful speech in the draw
ing room which opened from the hall.
Il wish the man would go" said the
girls voice. Il don't want to pass
him, and l want to go out"
IL was shortly after this that Daw-
son was sent away. He went back to
the krcal. And there he gathered
that the uprising was to take place
within forty-eight hours.
The natives planned to rush the lit,
tie settlement, twelve miles away, al
dawn. 1t would be n of those mas
