A Forest Rangers Method of Prepar.
 ing Baked Chicken.
 One summer day. while laboriousiy picking sage hen, d friendly forest ranger approached, smiling, and offered to show me an easier way.
 He lifted a bird as yet untouched by my hands and deftly cleaned but did not pick it. Then he sifted some dirt from the ground into a big mixing pan half filled with water. With these in- gradients he mixed paste of soft mud. Now he cut a slab of bacon. which he placed inside the hen, with a good sprinkling of pepper and salt, at last stuffing feathers into the opening to keep the meat clean. This done, he covered the chicken with the mud paste.
 Now he dug hole deep enough to put the bird ill. In the hole he built a fire and waited until there was a thick coating of coals on the sides and bot tom. Next he carefully placed the mud coated chicken on top. All this he covered with shovels of dirt until the hole was airtight. Now he turned to me and said, Tt will be cooked in one hour from now"
 With that he went his way.
 At the end of the hour he came again and, throwing back the soil. drew forth the chicken, quickly skinned it and laid before us delicately Drowned chicken with a wholesome odOr about it.-Outing.

LEGEND OF WILLIAM TELL.
The Story Was Old In Denmark Before
 the Swiss Borrowed 1t.

re Story was Oto tn Oenmark 6efore the Swiss Borrowed 1t.
 Do you know who shot the apple on the head of the little boy? Why, Will liam Tell, of course! Everybody kaows how Tell delivered Switzerland from the tyranny of Austria. At least ev- erybody used to know. Unfortunately for pure romance the historian and the investigator have been unduly ac- tive in the past quarter of a century, and the result has left us few heroes with enough clothing of romance to cover their skeletons.
 We have read Schiller's beautiful and inspiring play, either in our col E 1ege German course or ill translation, and we cling to William Tell with all the ardor of youthful enthusiasm. And along comes the historian and tells us that it is all myth, that the dates fixed by the Swiss chronicles on the subject do not coincide with the dates of the historic events that were SUD- posed to be taking place in Austria at the same time and that earlier records of Switzerland make no mention of the archers master shot.
 The selfsame story is told ill the Danish legends, two centuries before it crops out in the Swiss narrative, and further investigation shows that it was borrowed by the Danes, the origi nal apple having been shot from the original child's head by German bowman named Eigil, when King Mi dung sought to test the mans skill and nerve. In that remote story it is re- lated that Eigil concealed another ar row ill his bosom with which to kill the king if he injured his child. John Fiske, the American historian. was largely responsible for ro1bing us of William Tell.-St. Louis Globe Demo crat
