TEXAS COMMUNITY lS
ASTiR WITH WONDER.

Avery, Texas. - In the Rehebeth
community they have seven days
WONDER" possibly one that will last
longer. Four young ladies', members
of the best families of that communi-
ty, while on their way to school en-
countered what they believe to have
been an apparition--that of a wom-
an carrying small dog. The ghost"
or whatever it was, pointed a finger
at the girls and in a doleful voice
commanded:
Decorate my gravel"
Only two of the quartet of girls un-
derstood what the apparation said,
but all were for moment held fast
in their tracks. One young lady was
bold enough to speak to the "spooky"
thing, and her request was that they
be allowed to pass. Whereupon the
apparation spoke again, saying:
Decorate my grave ere you pass
this way!"
1t was then the girls turned and ran,
and hurried to school by cutting
across the fields.
AT the school the girls related their
startling experience and the excited
teacher and mystificd pupils returned
with them to the place where the vi
sion had been seen and heard. The
teacher and pupils being unable to
see or hear anything unnatural ac-
cused the four girls of playing a
hoax, but the girls would not be
doubted, so they placed marker on
the spot where the spook had stood.
Later men came with implements
and dug into the place marked, find
ing mixed sand end clay, as in a filed
grave. During the digging two ol
the girls declared they seemed to
hear murmuring sound comine
from the grave, as if the occupan,
was saying 20 JOY" or 20 thanks,
but all of them still insisted that the
same ghostly figure stood a few yards
away on slight elevation of the
ground.
When the grave was rehlled witt
the sand and clay one of the girls
laid bunch of fresh spring hya
cinths on the mounded soil and the
apparition instantly disappeared, The
girls say.
No one of the community knows o
body having been buried there, hu
the incident of the chool girls vision
is related by citizens worthy of cred
ence and not given to joking.

was giving the caller, and Mrs. Ell

did not know what to say to this

PREVENTS MOTHS

One of the serious problems con-
fronting the housewife each spring is
how to store furs and woolens so as
to keep them free from moths while
out of use.
Outside of cold storage, the follow
ing is the simplest, most effective
and most economical plan:
First, take each fur or woolen gar
ment, beat it we'll with a light
wooden rod, shake out thoroughly
and brush carefully; then hang on a
line for several hours exposed to the
sun and air.
After this sun bath, shake and
brush again.
Next, secure suitable pasteboard
boxes such as tailors use, and in
these lay the garments neatly folded
Then seal up the box carefully by
cumming strip of wrapping paper
around the edges so as to leave nc
cracks.
Tobacco, camphor or cedar chips
may be scattered over and between
the garments, but these are simply
repellants and are of no value if the
moth eggs are allowed to remain II
the garments.
If the preliminary work of beating
shaking, brushing and exposing tt
the sun and air and the packing bt
carefully done, there need be no feal
of damage from moths while the gar
ments are stored.

"Pounding"

If pounding" is regular and contin.
uous it is likely to be from lost mo-
tion in bearings. If irregular and oc-
casional, it is more likely to be due to
pre-ignition from incandescent carbon
or from imperfect electrical connec-
tions. If it is accompanied with an oc-
casional miss, especially if the missing
is more frequent when the car is run
ming than when the engine is running
idle, 1t is more apt to be imperfect
electric connections.

THE TABLE

Fruit Rice Puddin. .,-One cup rice,
two cups water, one cup fruit, one
cup fruit juice, half cup or more of
sugar, two egg whites. Wash rice
carefully. Boil with one cup water
five minutes, then drain in sieve and
rinse with cold water. Put rice in in
side part of double boiler, mix with
the fruit juice and one cup water
heated until they boil. Cook this un-
til rice is soft, then mix in sugar and
stiffly beaten whites of eggs. If you
have cherries or some other sour
fruit you will need more sugar unless
the fruit has been canned with
good deal of sugar in the first place.
Let pudding become very cold, then
turn it out on plate and trim with
some of the fruit that belongs to the
juice. # you want an extra nice
dessert, use canned pineapples and
serve it with cream. Here are also
few changes for rice pudding: (1)
Add two tablespoons cocoanut to rice
custard and sprinkle little cocoanut
over top of white of egg before you
put it into the oven to brown. (2)
Use half cup grated maple sugar in
stead of white sugar added to the
| rice. Serve THIS with grated maple
sugar and a pitcher of cream. (3)
Add two tablespoons grated choco-
late to rice custard and cook until it
is melted. When you add chocolate,
serve pudding with plain or whipped
cream. (4) If you can get nice fresh
hickorynuts, add two tablespoons of
these, chopped very fine, to the rice
custard and sprinkle few on top
of the white of egg before you brown
it. These changes will be found very
good.
Creamed Cabbage-Chop fine one
small cabbage, cook one hour, or un-
til it begins to turn dark, seasoning
with salt, pepper and plenty of but
ter. Before removing from fire
sprinkle with one scant tablespoon
flour; add cream to make smooth
sauce.

entrance he told that he must get in,
he was Cough, the speaker. They
looked at him, he was an understood
man, and laughed. They imagined
tall man.
He went to a side window, hoping to
be able to crowd in there. 1t was al
ready jammed full, and they, too
laughed when he told them he was
John B. Cough.
Finally he went to a rear door and
told the man on guard there that he
was Cough.
"Yes, five or six other men have al
ready told me that," the watchman
said. Cough gave him a shilling to
pass him in to the stage and after the
lecture the doorkeeper went to him
and said:
"Well, Cough, you're like singed
cat; better than you look"
