Elevated Playground.

In order to provide a public recrea-
ton place in New York's densely pop
plated East side, an elevated play
ground has been constructed at the
west end of the Williamsburg bridge,
says Popular Mechanics. 1t is 480 feet
In length, and affords a breathing
space for several thousand persons
during the sultry days and nights of
summer. In its center is an open air
pavilion where dancing and band con-
certs are held, while at convenient in
tervals seating accommodations are
provided beneath awnings for the ben
eft of those who frequent the place
during the heat of the day. Basket
weaving n sewing are taught the
neighborhood children by instructors.

Chautauqua Man Here.

Last Friday G. R. Aydelott,
the advance man for the Chau-
tauqua, visited our city to see
about placing the advertising
matter for the course. and start
the selling campaign of season
tickets. A large amount of adj
vertising matter was on hand
and he soon had the streets gai-
ly decorated with bright colored
streamers, the windows of the
stores showing display cards
with pictures of the talent, and
signs tackled on the posts along
all the roads leading into our
city. A special copy of the
Chautauqua Herald was sent to
all persons getting their mail on
the R. F. D. routes. The Boost
err penants had been given out
a few days in advance and are
being carried by numberless au-
tomobiles.
During the afternoon the com
mittee accompanied by Mr.. Ay-
delott went over the city to de-
eide on a site for the big tent
and after considering the matter
from various standpoints they
decided to recon m END the
grounds just east of the school
house.
In the evening the guarantors
of the course met at the city hall
and enjoyed an interesting talk
by Mr.. Aydelott, who is very en-
thusiastic about the program
that ia to be given here. Among
other things he stated that Bis
marck, jamestown. Wahpeton,
Park River, Beach and other of
the large cities of this state have
booked tho same course, several
having been on the circuit last
year.

ESTHER HARRIET KoTTs.

Died at St. Johns Hospital in
Fargo early Thursday morning,
June oath, Esther Harriet Kotts,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w.
Kotts, of this city.
The sad news of her death
cast a shadow over the whole
community for all of her short
but happy life was spent here
and every heart was touched with
sympathy for the bereaved ones.
For eight bright sunny years not
only had she been the joy and
comfort of the home, but her
sweet childish presence had
brought a wealth of sunshine
and happiness into the lives of
many in the community. She
was born in Hope, November 9th
1907.
She was taken sick about two
weeks before her death and was
found to have a severe case of
appendicitis. On June 18th she
was taken to Fargo and under
went an operation. For a time she
progressed nicely but complaints
arose and she was unable to win
the fight. The remains were
brought home Friday and funer-
al services were held in the
Congregational Church Sunday
morning at10:30 o'clock, Rev. S.
Hitchcock having charge of the
service. The body was placed at
rest in the Hope Cemetery.

be begun in early fall and continued
until the trees have all been gone over.
This is done by cutting away the In
jured bark sufficiently to trace the bur-
row and then removing the borer with
a knife or hooked wire Previous to
worming the soil should be dug away
from the base of the trees 80 that the
castings exuding from the burrows may
be seen and assist in the more ready
location Of the borers. Since many Of
the peach borers in the fall are yet
quite small, very careful work will be
necessary to destroy all Of them. After
the trees have been wormed once It is
a good practice to 60 over them again.
The earth should be drawn around the
base of the tree before there is danger
Of freezing weather. The same plan
should be followed in worming the trees
in the spring, at which time 1t will be
somewhat easier to detect the borers be-
cause of their increase in size.
The work of the fruit-tree barkbeetle,
or shot-hole borer, is often first de-
tected on trees during pruning opera
tons in winter, and steps should be
taken as soon as 1t is discovered to
correct the trouble. If possible. The
shot-hole borer as a rule attacks trees
which are in a state of decline from
any cause. 1t winters in various stages

from fire and beat until 1t is Of creamy
consistency, scraping 1t from the sides
of the saucepan as you work. silver
fork is the best implement, although a
spoon may be used. Turn into buttered
pans and let it cool.
H01U to Make and Use Pendants
Fondant should be made the day be-
fore 1t is to be used with your can
dies and should not be made on rainy
or damp day. Never use more than
two cups of sugar and half cup of hot
water at time. Do not shake the pan
In which the fondant stands nor scrape
the sides of it when emptying it. Put
two cups of granulated sugar and half
a cup of boiling water into an enameled
pan and stir 1t until 1t has dissolved
and no longer. Take out the spoon i'm
mediately and let the sugar come to a
boil; as the grains Of sugar are thrown
up against the sides Of the pan they
should be wiped of Immediately with a
moistened brush or swab, 80 that no
particle of sugar is allowed to crystal
lie; after the fondant boils for ten min
utes test it by dropping little in cold
water; If it comes to the soft-ball stage,
1t should be removed from the fire at
once; be sure not to jar the vessel which
contains the fondant and pour 1t out
carefully into a shallow bowl or pudding
dish to cool; If the film which forms over
the top is jelly-like the fondant is all |
right; If not, you had better put 1t back |
on the fire after having added a few
spoons of water, boil and repeat the
process of testing. When it is cold
enough to bear the fingers in stir 1t with
a wooden paddle or spoon until It reaches
a consistency stiff enough to be worked
with the hands as you would work
bread; knead it until it is soft and
in bowl and cover closely
with a moistened cloth, or wrap it in

put 1t aside in a covered jar until ready
for USE When ready form with fingers
into any shape desired and If 1t is too
hard to handle easily stand the vessel
containing it in an outer vessel with
boiling water and stir the fondant until
1t becomes soft enough to handle. Keep
stirring all the time It is heating or 1t
will go back into a clear syrup. Have
everything ready SO that you will not
have to stop in the middle Of the process
and let the fondant chill or solidify.

per. 81 have my regular work to do
till then" d
Surely 1 will, Norah," assented
Verda, and thus it was fate brought
those two together.
Miss Thorpe started in the chair
where she sat as she heard her name,
"Verda," whispered softly over and
over again by the sleeping invalid.
Then he was quiet for an hour.
Verda moved over to little table on
which were some books. In moving
them about some folded typewriter
sheets fell out.
"Why, what's this?" mysteriously
murmured the astonished young
lady.
For, as she restored the sheets she
recognized them as covering the SUBJ
iect of the work that had been so
strangely done for her three weeks
previously
They were spoiled sheets. A light
dawned upon her mind all of sud-
den. At that moment the maid en-
tered the room.
"Norah," spoke Verda fiutteringly,
there is a mystery here l cannot
fathom. Your patient appears to
know my name"
"Oh, yes, ma'em. He has inquired
about you every day since you came
here" .. :
"And l found some writing" and
Verda recited the rest of her story.
"You must know what this means!n
she exclaimed, noticing an embar=
raised expression in Norah's face.
Speak out, Norah." +
mo, ma'am," dissented Norah,
sturdily. Let him tell you" :

r. Norah stared at this generous
hearted young man with an actual
tear in her eye.
"You are a good man, Mr.. Bliss
she said, land you'll get blessing
for this. When l tell Miss Thorpe of
your kindness
. ooh, dear! Not that" Immediately
interrupted Walter. THAT must be
the last thing in the world to do. No,
no, you must faithfully promise me
that you will never tell Miss Thorpe
about my share in the transaction"
But she will want to know"
81 will place a note in the work
Walter. "And here, Norah," he con-
tinued, sis dollar to get yourself a
new ribbon"
But Norah scorned to be concerned
in the matter and take pay for doing
a kindness to that sweet lady, bless
her dear, good heart"
Walter found he had undertaken.
no easy task when Norah brought to
his room over hundred pages of
penciled writing and the blank paper
