Killarney Salt Cod.

Soak one pound of salt cod in water
to cover four or five hours, peel and
slice about one-fourth inch thick eight
or nine potatoes according to size of
family. Try out four or five strips
of salt pork, peel and slice a few on
ions and fry in pork fat, but do not
brown. Cook potatoes and salt cod
separately, straining the water off the
fish twice. On your onions dredge
about two tablespoonfuls of flour, stir
ring briskly, a little salt and pepper
and the water directly off the fish, till
of the right consistency; then add one
teaspoonful of table sauce and let cook
one minute. In the meantime place
your potatoes and fish on a platter and
pour onions and gravy over all. This
is very tasty.

MARK BARRETT CRUSHED
TO DEATH

Caught in the swing of a huge con-
crete bucket and smashed with ter
rife force against timber construction
work, Mark Barrett, employed as la
borer on the improvements under way
at the Absecon Reservoir, was in
stantly killed on Thursday. In the
hope that some spark of life remained
the man was rushed at record break
ing speed to the Atlantic City Hos
pital, and an examination disclosed
that practically every bone in his body
had been broken.
Barrett was about to begin work
for the day and was walking to the
post assigned to him when the great
derrick swung in his direction. In re-
Spouse to cries of warning from his
companions, he leaped forward and di-
rectly in the buckets path. He re-
sided at Pleasantville since securing
employment on the reservoir, but his
home is at Chincoteague, Va, where
reside his parents and two children.
His wife died some time ago.

GUEST EXPECTED TOO MUCH

]. Wade McGrath, one of the promi-
nent hotel men in New York, used to
be behind the desks in several Ohio
hotels before he became manager of
the Hotel Hargrave. In one hotel
near Cleveland one of his assistants
showed an absolute ~displeasure for
anything that looked like work.
One night a guest called up and in
an angry voice said: "There are a
couple of mice fighting up here!"
"What room have your" inquired
the assistant languidly.
He was told and then he inquired;
"What are you paying for it?"
1.-TWO dollars" was the reply.
"Well, what do you expect for two
dollars-a bull fight?"

When you use the racket in playing
tennis you do not stop to think what
it means and how difficult it has been
to trace the word. Some thought
that it was so called because of the

but this is impossible. The real orr
