SHOWED KINDLY HEART
'cossECK SAVED BABY FROM TN.
EvITABLE DEATH.
Incident Vouched for by Eminent
American Artist Throws Somewhat
New Light on Character Of
Russian Soldier.

When F. D. Millet, the artist, was
at the front with a band of Cossacks
during the war between the Russians
and the Turks in 1878, an odd incident
came to his knowledge. Mr.. Millet's
words are:
"One cold afternoon at the end of
December a young Circassian Cossack
came to camp headquarters with an
article of booty which attracted more
attention than any other object before
exhibited as relic Of the war. He
was dressed in a worn and shabby uni
form and rode an underfed, carelessly
groomed and overworked animal.
There was a merry, kindly expression
on his face, and but for his uniform
he would never have been suspected
of belonging to the race whose name
is widely synonymous with ferocity
and. cruelty He. had gathered up the
long name of his horse in such way
that it made primitive sort of ham
mock The. fingers of his left hand
were twisted in the knotted horsehatr,
and in this ingenious bed lay, or rath-
er reclined, half-seated, little girl
baby, perhaps d year and a half old.
She was dressed III a peculiar, anti
quated costume made Of figured cal
leo.
I'm reply to our questions the Co.'S
sack reported that he had been, with
his men, that morning in pursuit of
Turkish wagon train. They were un-
able to capture the train, but had gath
cred up a great quantity of booty
thrown away by the fugitives to light
en- their loads. On the side of the
road he noticed a bundle Of ragged
counterpanes, and dismounted to ex-
anime it. To his surprise he discov-
cred that a child's voice proceeded
from the bundle, and unrolling it, he
disclosed the baby, lying quite warm
and comfortable, just as it had rolled
off one of the wagons. He said he
couldn't leave the little one there to
die, and couldn't take care Of 1t HIM
self, so he rugged cradle out Of his
horses name and came directly to
headquarters"

Married in Old Ace,

A septuagenarian couple have just
been married at Hull, England. Bride
and bridegroom are both inmates OF
an institution founded for the benefit
of tradesmen and others who find 1t
necessary in their declining years to
seek assistance. Each has a grown
up family. The bride has been resi-
dent of the home for some time, but
the bridegroom obtained admission
only. three. months ago. Within few
days he was: attracted to the lady, the
rules of the institution permitting
freedom of social intercourse little
less than that enjoyed outside. The
attraction was mutual; an acquain-
tanceship of boyhood and girlhood
days was revived, and an offer of
marriage was made and accepted. It
was necessary to obtain the consent
of the government body of the insti-'
tuition to the marriage, but this was
a mere matter of form, and was read
lily granted. A friend of the bride,
who lives in pleasant country vii
lage a few miles from Hull. invited
the pair to spend the honeymoon with
her.. =.

! ONE on THE OLD SQUIRE
chiId's Misconstruction That Must
Have Been in Slight Degree
Discencertinu.

The kindly old squire was giving a
little treat to the village school chill
dren. After supper he stepped on to
the platform and announced, with
beamiug smile:
Nov, l am going to perform cer-
tain actions, and you must guess what
proverb they represent. The boy or
girl who succeeds first will receive
quarter.
That did it. Instantly every eye
was fixed on him.
First of all the old gentleman lay
down on the platform. Then one man
came forward and tried in vain to lift
him. Two others came to his aid,
and between them they raised the
squire, who was rather portly.
Tie actions were -ieant to repre-
sent the motto, Union is strength"
When they had finished, the squire
stepped forward and asked if any child
had solved the puzzle.
At once grubby hand shot UP and
an eager voice squeaked:
Let sleeping dogs lie."

Wireless Possibilities.

With the advent of wireless te1e-
phony it seems not improbable that in
the near future we will all be carry
ing about our persons small pocket
apparatus with which we can step in
to any quiet corner, call up central
and ask to be connected with any de-
sired point. This seems to be the next
logical step, considering the fact that
wireless talk has been held with
Hawaii and Paris. What a cinch 1t
will be for the married man who has
fallen in with congenial bunch. He
can take out his instrument, call up
wiley and tell her that polished story
about being detained at the office or
kept downtown by an out-of-town Gus
toner Fine business But if WHEY
is wise she will not ring off on the
attuned circuit. By keeping her ear
to the receiver she can hear all that
is said, and in the morning, when hub
by feels his worst, tell him what has
been on her mind all night. And if an
affinity happens to be with him-well.
there will be more work for the d.
vorce courts.

RECOGNIZED DEBT TO MICE
Mr.. Growcher Grateful That He Didn't

Yep" said Mi. Groweher; nothing
was made in vain. Everything that
earth produces may serve some useful
purpose, If you can only find out what
it is. There is a whole lot to think
about in that story of the, mouse
who gnawed the net for the captured

"Mebbe there is" replied his wife.
But I'm willing to bet that was the
only kind and considerable mouse
known to the animal kingdom"

Yes. But there wasn't any Welsh

JUST BEFORE THE PLUNGE
Frank Confession Of One Regarded
as About to Be Made Happy
for Life.

Following is an extract from
bridegroom's frank confession:
Here l was on the verge of real
izing the thing that had wanted most
for over year; and suddenly 1 found,
to my utter amazement, that l didn't
want it.
Il was disguised with myself, be-
rated myself roundly for cad and a
coward, but l could not change the
feeling. With the drowning man pano-'
ramic eye l saw all the choicest mo-
ments of my bachelor days. l remem-
bered the gay, irresponsible times that
my best man and l had had together.
That was pretty good life, after all,
that we had led. Our old bachelor
apartment was a good old place,
thought to myself
And l was leaving it! 1 had always
heard that folks with curly hair we're
tickle, and had dismissed the saying as
idle, superstitious chatter Now it
flashed upon ne that my hair Is cur
ly; I knew in a terrible instant that
the saying was true. My hair was
curly! L was tickle; here was the
first evidence of it. 1 was on the edge
of my marriage, and 1 didn'. want to
marry.
Suppose the cursed weakness, my
fickleness, were to follow me through
life. Suppose were to find that my
love was not strong enough. ! was
twenty-five; we would probably be
married 40 years! Forty years-the
thought staggered me-

ence more than I. 1t came over me

For 40 years, would never be able
to go anywhere, do anything. meet

MAKE KITCHEN BRIGHT
EASILY DONE BY EXERCISE OF A
LITTLE THOUGHT.
Many Reasons Why Room Should Be
the cIeanest, Sunniest and Most
Cheerful in the Householder
Scheme Means Much.

One wonders at the housekeepers
who choose for their kitchen walls
and woodwork dingy gray or brown
or some other dark, dull color that
will not show the dirt. Are they bet
ter housekeepers because the dirt,
which is surely there, does not show?
Would these same women wear black
dresses and aprons when doing the
cooking and feel that they were clean
because they did not look soiled?
The kitchen should be the cleanest,
sunniest, and most cheerful room ia
the house. 1t is here the housekeeper
spends most of her time, and it is
here the food is prepared and often
served.
1t is not always possible to have
the kitchen located so as to get the
best light, but dark room may be
much improved by using the proper
color In Minnesota town the
school kitchen had windows on the
east side only. Half of them were on
court and the others against a hill;
but by the use of deep cream tint
on the ceiling, buff for the walls.
and woodwork of southern pine fin
ished in the natural color and
vanished, the effect of sunlight was
given even on the dull. short days
of the northern winter.
If there is much sunshine in the
kitchen white or blue may be used;
but on the north side of the house use
buff or warm, yellowish tan. The
increased cheerfulness and better
spirits of the housekeeper will mean
much to the entire family, and her
work will not be increased by the new
color scheme because a sunny, pleas
ant workshop lightens every task,

SALADS TOO LITTLE USED
Really They Should Be Given Very
Prominent Place in Meals Served
to the Family.

Salads are capable of infinite va
riety, so when fish and cheese fail
vegetables which approach animal
foods in nutrition may be served, and
either the oil in the dressing or the
fat in the cream or melted butter OF
boiled dressing be depended upon
to supply the necessary oil. Try a
corn salad. A pound of this vege-
table contains as much protein as is
found in half pound of lamb chops
or half dozen eggs. Cool freshly
boiled corn, also some rice idried in
the oven until the grains separately
salt slightly and mix them in equal
quantities; fold in some stiff mayor
naise and serve very cold in lettuce
cups. Beans, peas and lentils, which
are all so rich in protein, are very
desirable for salads in place of meat.
Cover two cups of cold baked beans
with French dressing and let stand
a half hour; drain, sprinkle with half
a teaspoonful of onion juice, mix with
cream dressing, arrange on lettuce
leaves and garnish with parsley and
hard-cooked eggs. Lentils combined
with onions, peppers and parsley. and
served on cress with French dressing,
make hearty and tasty salad.
A fruit salad has the added ad-
vantage of being very healthful, for
nearly all fruits hold acids and salts
in solution which are cooling to the
re-
available that none needs to become
'tiresome. Pears, as a salad possibility
once tried, will appear often this way:
Peel large pears, halve them, remove
the cores and drop them into cold wa
ter in which is tablespoonful of vine
gar to keep them white. Fill the core
cavity with either grated cheese or
cream cheese balls and serve on let
tuce with French dressing. Purple
egg plums may be used instead Of
pears, with lemon juice substituted for
vinegar in the dressing. The stone
cavity Of peaches filed with chopped
nuts and arranged on lettuce with
mayonnaise is very tasty. A pretty
salad can be made from watermelon or
cantaloupe by scooping out with large
spoon pieces from the ripest parts,
draining, chilling and serving in let,
tuce cups with French dressing. When
mayonnaise is used with fruits, leave
out the mustard and pepper, put in a
little sugar and use lemon instead OF
vinegar always. In no case should a
boiled acid dressing be used with fruit
salad.

Kidney, Bladder and'Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
