telegram o.your wife in Lognnsport."
Curtain.
OF urs the fact that Wedge didn't
have a wife in Logansport or else
where made no difference. He couldn't
prove an alibi, so he faded out into
the day coach and became as one
who isn't.
The Roast-Beef Sisters seemed to
be all carved up about something or
other.
While these more or less grin-pro-
ducing incidents were occurring there
was eve present in my W noodle
the grim reality that bedtime was APP
preaching and l had drawn an upper
berth.
Say! I'll be one of a party Of six
to go before Congress and tell all
know about an upper berth.
The upper berth in a sleeping car
is the same relation to comfort that
a carpet tack is to a bare foot.
AS a place to tie up a small bundle
of sleep a boiler factory has 1t beat
to a whimper,
Strong men weep every time the
ticket agent says, Nothing left but
an upper and lovely women have
Mysteries and begin to make faces
at the general public when the colored
porter points up in the air and says,
Madam, your eagles nest is ready
! far up the mountainside.'
While the porter was cooking up
my attack of insomnia l went out in
the smoking room to drown my sor-
row, but ! found such a bunch of sor-
row killers out there ahead of me that
l had to hold the comb and brush in
my lap and sit up on the towel rack
while l took a little smoke.
Did you ever notice on your trav-
els that peculiar hog on the train who
pays two dollars for a berth and al
ways displaces eight dollars worth
of space in the smoking car?
If he would bite the end of a piece
of rope and light up occasionally he
wouldn't be SO bad. but nix on the
smoke for him.
He simply sits there with a face like
a fish and keeps George Nicotine
and all the real rag burners from en-
joying a smoke.
If ever a statue is needed of the pa
triot Buttinski l would suggest a
model in the person of the smokeless
smoker who always travels in the
smoking car.
Two busy gazabes were discussing
politics when I squeezed into the
smoker on this particular occasion,

DRIED FRUITS IN DESSERTS
Properly Used, Il May Be Made to
Serve to as Good Purpose
as the Fresh.

Dried fruit Is quite as nice as fresh,
but It has been overworked In the al
legged interest of economy. It will
make a dessert second to none, II
properly used.
The covered enameled ware casse-
role is the proper cooking utensil for
dried fruit. Let it soak over night,
and cook very slowly, and It will re-
gain its shape and also it's finest fla
vor. In addition it should have some
sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes
soaked in just enough wine to
them and then cooked In this way
taste like something costly. Apricots
cooked with raisins are good. So are
dried apples cooked in the good, old
fashioned way. in cider. A mixture
of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all
cooked together, is good. Dried peaches
add a little vanilla to the strip when
they are done. Dried cherries are not
used here to any extent, but in Eng
land, where the cherry is an old and
famous fruit, they are used with cur
rants in plum cake, and very nice they
are. 1t is perfectly practicable to use
any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly
in this way, to add flavor to bread pud-
dings or steamed buildings. The fruit
a be either mixed with the bread
pudding or put in the dish with the
bread on top, or in layers; but when
it is used the bread should not be
soaked in milk; the fruit juice will
make enough moisture, and the bread
should merely be soaked enough in
water to make it soft, and cooked
with the fruit, covered.

CAY! Did you ever sit around in
- the Pullman Car and study a few
paragraphs from the worlds most IA
nous text book-human nature?
Go after ii the first chance you get
you'll learn at lot.
For instance, during a trip recently
on. one Of Mr.. Pullman's sleep-wagons
! soon learned that the brisk and
breezy crew in the seats around me
were commercial travellers. and they
were tanning each other with fairy
tales about the goods they sold.
| learned that the one who looked
like a human apple was a~ffectionately
known as Slim because he's so fat
that every time he turns around he
meets himself coming back.
And it wasn't hard to learn that
the tall one with the sandy hair was
Nick Dalrymple, who goes after the
orders for q hardware house in
Columbus and knows everybody in
the world-bar one family living in
Yonkers.
Then there was Tod Gilpin, who
cuts ice for a match factory in New
ark, and he's the life of a small party.
Tod's main hold is to creep into
the reading room of a RUDE hotel
after the chores are done Of an eve
ming and throw salve at the come-ons.
Tod tells them that their town is the
brightest spot on the map, and they
warm up to him and want to buy him
s~arsaparilla and root beer. Then
when he gets them stuck on them
selves he sells them matches.
Presently l learned that the party
with the mauve forehead and the
magenta mustache was Mutt Daw-
son-the most reckless %spendthrift
with his words and the meanest man
to the English language 1 ever
listened to.
The Dream Builders Association
was in full session when Wedge Muir
ray caromed over and weighed-in with
the party.
Wedge is a saucy little party, five
foot four, with three foot shoulders.
He thinks he strikes twelve on all
occasions, but his timepiece is an
hour slow.
| learned that Wedge sells canned
shirt waists for the Shine Brothers,
aud if he's ever let into the firm it
will be as a brother.
Wedge is one of those goose-headed
ginks who scratch gravel and start
In to make a killing every time they
see a pretty girl.
Across the aisle sat two pet ca

1t now stands. Upon finding that the
tree had lost all signs of life, the gar
dener in this park devised the novel
idea Of turning the dead trunk into
this artistic seat rather than dig it
out bodily.
Suiting the action to the decision he
cut the main limbs of about six feet
from the ground and to the top of
these he fastened a pretty roof, which
is made Of palm branches. This done,
the seat, which runs all around the
trunk at a distance Of about a foot
and a half from the ground, was made
out of sections of palm branches. In
addition to being inexpensive, this seat
is one of the most attractive in this
very elaborate park.
This suggestion might we'll be fol-
lowed by others. It is not an uncom-
mon sight to see u~nsightly dead trees
in public parks, which might be con-
verted into useful and ornamental OBJ
jects instead.-World's Advance.

THE ANNUAL INSTITUTE

The annual teachers institute
held at Newport the last three
days of April was the best in the
history of the county. Seventy
five teachers were in attendance,
that being the largest number
ever attending an institute In

The program was carried out
without the slightest omission.
Everything was good but the
weather, and 1t was good while
the teachers were on their way
to: and from the High School

AN oREooNIAN SONG (Tipperary)


Down to Newport went a painting Portlander one day
Down get the cool sea-breezes off Yaquina Bay
Thoughts fresh rocoysters made his play
As he passed Oregon City, thus heard him say
"It's long way down to Yaquna -
It's long way to CO. %Fa ~ NJ 4
And long for the beach at Newport,
For the rock-oysters know.
Farewell to Wllamette
Good bye Portland Rose
am going for the fresh rock-oyster-
To my heart that goes"
Good bye Salem, leave you; Albany, farewell!
Now pass thru fair Corvallis then pass Nashville;
Now we're stopping at Toledo. Oh! there rings the bell
OF go now for Yaquna passengers all yell
Chorus
On the Bay the rhododendrons to perfection grow;
On the beach wen pick agatesred and white you know
But with tin buckets and mattocks delight to go
unearth the ucious mousks while breezes blow
Chorus:
Fresh chinook palates tickle crabs and razor cam
Some may like the deep-sea fishing don't care hem!
Trout fine and habut may have its charm for some,
But rockoysers are the filling for my tummy-tum.
Chorus.
