Mr.. MickIes' Ingenuity Saves the Day
When His Wife Calls at the
Office.

"Mr. Mfckles, your wife is outside.
sir" said the Office boy. between bir1-
ing, nauseating puffs from his cheap
and thoroughly nasty cigarette.
"Ow!" said Mickles, expressively'
somewhat explosively and a trifie ap-
prehensively and shiveringly, although
it was a hot day in Africa. Mickles
rose from his desk and went out into
the ante-room, carefully shutting ms
office door behind him.
"Henry, I've come to see your new
stenographer," said his wife.
"But, my dear, she will offend your
aesthic sense" protested Mickles.
"She's a sight. told you she was a
sight"

Every we'll, but wait till l finish die

"Just as you say, my dear. But your
hat isn't on straight. There's a glass
over there in the corner"
"Oh, dear. I'll just fix 1t. I'll be
there in q minute"
And she went over to the glass to
straighten her hat, and in the half
hour it took her to do it, Mickles had
let his beautiful new stenographer out

der, and hauled up frightfully home
ly one for whom he had telephoned to

materially the cost of living. These
trees are peculiarly suitable for back
yards.
early last fall grated on this old
peach tree clippings from lilac bush
raspberry bush and three varieties
of rose bushes. These gratis are alive
today, and the peach tree is also bear
ing healthy buds Of its own. Later on
we will have raspberries and roses
and lilacs growing on this one tree.
my next step will be to develop
special variety of these table d'hote
trees which the poor can plant IN
their backyards, and which will bear
a variety Of eatables."
Several other combinations are said
already to be the subject of earnest
study and experiment. Cabbages.
grapes and carrots are expected to
grow on a gooseberry bush. A chest.
nut tree will be grated with shoots
of potato plants and pumpkin vines.

JAPAN WILL HELP CHINA
Will Float Big Loan Chinese Finan.
ciers Failed to Get In This
Country.

Japan is preparing to lend $3O,OOO,-
600 to China. This is the result Of the
failure of China to float loan in
New York. Like ourselves, the jap
anese have made money out of the war
and are able to extend credit to other
countries. This loan will strengthen
Japan's influence in China, but we
have no right to object. We would not
help China. Those who say Japan will
dominate China and that trade will
follow money are probably right. We
can learn something from Japan.
Just as China is within Japan's
sphere Of influence so is oil Latin
America within our sphere of in
duence. We have no designs on our
neighbors other than our desire to
trade with them and to have peace in
this hemisphere. Most of the Latin
American republics need money quite
as much rs China does. We have more
available capital than any other coun-
try, perhaps more than all other na-
lions combined. The United States is
the only place where sufficient money
can be found at present to meet the
requirements of Latin America. If we
invest money we will secure trade just
as we expect Japan to do in China. In
stead of weeping about lost opportuni-
ties in the Orient let us improve our
own in the Americas. No complica-
lions with other Great Powers about
open doors and spheres of influence
need be feared in this hemisphere and
our exporters will find fewer difficult
ties in the languages and trade Gus
toms. Losing a chance in China is
good reason for not losing others in
the Americas.-New York Commercial.

The versatility Of the dispenser Of

Ten holes, each large enough to hide

MAKES fine RELISH
SUGGESTIONS FOR SERVING THE
HUMBLE CUCUMBER.
Few Vegetables Have the Adaptabiltty
Of This Friend of the Housewife
Common Way Of Preparing
II Is Not the Best.

1t is true that few vegetables appear
as cool and refreshing either to eye OF
palate as the humble cucumber, which
is growing more popular rs a table
food each year, writes Mrs. Christine
Frederick in the Chicago Daily News.
In the heated season we come to de-
pend upon it largely as salad. as 1t
is capable Of infinite combinations, or
served alone, or with tomatoes, rad
ishes and other vegetables.
The overripe cucumber should not
be chosen, as then the seeds are too
large and the pulp coarse. Neither
should 1t be ut all underripe, as then
it is bitter and the pulp acrid. In par
ing, take generous skin, as the flesh
near the skin is always more or less
bitter. Unless the seeds are small they
should be discarded entirely, as they
are pure waste and do not do the body
any good, merely Irritating the in.
testines.
Instead of cutting the cucumber in
slices. 1t Is sometimes preferable to d.
vide 1t into three sections and scoop
out the seeds, using sharp knife with
d curved blade like grapefruit pre-
parer. This leaves solid chunk of
flesh which can then be sliced or
chopped as desired without seeds.
Cucumbers should not be allowed to
stand in salted water, as this tough
ems the pulp. They are best If pared.
placed in only little clear water and
the howl put into the refrigerator.
Although we use 1t chiefly as
salad, there are many dishes for the
stewing or frying Of cucumbers which
should not be despfscd. The large
dice Of the firm flesh can be slowly
stewed for about fifteen minutes with
very little water In which are a few
drops Of onion Juice. The addition of
a little cream. salt and pepper makes
this very dainty dish.
It can also be used fried like sum-
mer squash or egg plant. Cut in thick
slices, dust with salt and pepper, roll
in -four and saute in butter for about
20 minutes. Sometimes a delicate
onion sauce, parsley or other herbs
can be added.
Owing to its refreshing neutrality Of
taste, the cucumber Is par excellence
the salad to accompany fish. It also
combines excellent1y with dressing
made of sour cream. The common
way of preparing it with strong vine
gar, cut in conventional slices, is by
far the poorest method, killing its deli
cate individual taste. A light oil
dressing or thin mayonnaise Is most
preferable.
When the skin is glossy and not
spoiled by too many spines, most
decorative table effects can he secured
by utilizing the rind as well as the
pulp. The entire pulp may be scooped
out, leaving the cucumber lengthwise
and thus making u cucumber boat"
into which can be stuffed the chopped
pulp, radishes and other salad mix
lures. Cut into three sections or two
crossways. 1t will appear like an at
tractive green pyramid or cup, in
which also any salad mixture can be
served. Combined with the red Of the
radish. the yellow nasturtium flowers.
or the scarlet of the tomato or pfmen-
to. the humble cucumber can enter
largely into decorative table scheme.

"And was that all he said?"
"Ancther time he said to me, You

day he did say to me, .Ah. my brave
