one night that poker crowd stayed here
until 4 o'cloclz! How could you, Mr..
CaudIe, think of the neighbors lat day
break seeing swarms of half tight men
leaving my house and that awful female
kitty? Not person? What do you
mean, Mr.. Caudle? A take-out' on each
pot for the house That's absurd!
There's no such rule in poker I've played
poker myself Mr. Caudle, and 1 never
heard of such a thing. Oh, these men.
these men! What will they do next?
1.-THE maid hasn't been able to clean up
for a week. There are dozens of half
squeezed lemons about; lines by the
quart; spyhons in perfect droves. Four
of my best glasses are cracked and, three
of them broken into smitherens. Oh, you
may laugh, if you want to, but it has
nearly finished me. You know nothing
about it? Why, Mr.. Caudle. how can
you lie like that? No; I won't be still;
I'll speak my mind for once; you shan't
disgrace me and ruin my curtains and
rugs and furniture and break up my
china and glasses and not hear from me.
And to think of that beautiful vase of
mine that the Tattle-Tales gave us when
we were married being dashed to pieces!
Don't tell me it was cracked before. l
know better; one of those old drunken
card sharks broke it; the maid said you
told her yourself. She shall leave here?
Never, Mr.. Caudle; she's a good, consci-
entious, respectable, girl, and has told
me everything that happened and she
ssps herself that such 'goings-on' she'd
never witnessed before, and she's stayed
in some pretty gay households. And
should like to know where my best silk
umbrella has gone that I left in the rack ?
And who broke the door bell? And how
did that leg come to be off of that Chip
pendale chair in the parlor? And who
tore the portieres? And-and-oh, dear,
why did I ever marry such a creature?
I shall never leave home again as long as
I live for you are not capable of taking
care of yourself, Mr. Caudle, you are as
irresponsible as snow bird! In fact, you
are one Oh, you are laughing again,
are you? Well, I'll put that laugh on
the other side of your face before I've
finished with you, or my name is not

Six Beautiful Lines

please interpret the hidden mean
ing of this poem. Why are they the
best six lines Of their length in the
English language? READER
The request accompanies lines pub
lished some weeks back with editorial
comment. Both are reproduced here.
The querist had asked for the whole of
verse of which she could recall but
two haunting lines Thus ran the reply:
Four ducks on pond;
A grass bank beyond;
A blue sky of spring;
White clouds on the wing;
What little thing
To remember for years!
To remember with tears.
They were written by William Alling-
ham, an Irish poet, says the extract from
the article embodying the lines. You may
be more tolerant of the ringing in your
head" when you read further that an
emident critic has declared as his judg-
ment that the six lines form the best
poem of it's length in the English lam
guage.
The stanza needs no Interpretation"
1t is the simplest form of word painting
bringing to the mind of the reader who
can appreciate nature and descriptive
art a rural scene perfect in every feature
from the blue sky dappled with fleecy
clouds to the fowls floating upon a mill
pond framed by the green bank. The
painters skill could not render 1t more
faithfully.
Will the anonymous Reader" pardon
me for being reminded by his implied
criticism of the great Turner's reply to
the man who objected to certain paint
Ing by the distinguished artist? 1T is
not true to nature, Mr.. Turner. never
see such sunsets as yours" MOP said
Turner, slowly. But don't you wish
you could?" So we are glad to be able
to remember for years. to remember
with tears" the little picture conjured
up by the magician-poet.

Lady Baltimore Cake

Some years ago you published recipe
for Lady Baltimore cake I wish to
ask about the filing. The recipe said
boil the sugar and water until it spins
a thread and pour over the blanched and
chopped almonds. The filling was de-
scribed as soft and creamy. l suppose
the oil in the nuts must take the place
of the usual white of egg, but my filling
was not soft and creamy. 1 wonder If the
printer had made a mistake? l am glad
of the opportunity to consult you about
it, for I should like so much to get it
just right. AGNES R.
First, do not put too much water with
the sugar. Half a cupful in two even
cups of sugar should be enough to dis
solve thes ugar.l Put over the fire and
do not stir until a little dropped from
the tip Of the spoon "spins a thread"
Take from the fire at once set in YES
sci of boiling water, and begin without
delay to stir in the chopped nuts. etc.,
which should be ready at your hand. A
little lemon juice facilitates the work. No
the white of eggs does not enter into
the mixture, which ought to be creamy
and "sugary" Practice and care are re-
CURED to get the ''fondant'' just right.

SWEETS ANNUAL SALE.
Attracted Large Crowd of Enthusiast
tic Buyers-Run Close to
Sid 600

The e. s. Sweet annaul stock sale
was held at the old Schmadeka place
in north Grangeville yesterday, and in
spite of the most unsatisfactory
weather conditions everything offered
brought satisfactory prices. This
sale was to be held early in the spring
but on account of the big fire in
which Mr.. Sweet lost between $4,000
and $4,000 worth of stock, was post
poned until this time. Mr.. Sweet was
almost in the humor to postpone the
sale until better weather prevailed,
but ON the morning of the date the
rains let up sufficiently to allow auto
mobiles and horse-drawn vehicles to
make the place.
In the afternoon however rain came
on again and prospects for the sale
were very discouraging. In the even
ing contingent of Salmon River
Stock men, many of whom had ridden
so miles arrived on the scene and it
was soon evident that the stock to be
sold would not be sacrificed. On the
morning of the sale weather condi-
lions were again very bad and pro-
ceedings were started under gloomy
skies.
The Auctioneers in charge, Geo. A.
Cue of North Yakima and Harry @.
Cranke of Spokane after a few intro
ductory remarks started in with a vim
and from the beginning prices OBJ
tanned were uniformaly good among
the most note worthy sales was that
of pair of 2 year colts $4,000, IL
head of high grade white face cows
with calves for S107.50 each, seven
teen year old heifers sold Tor
$3.50 each, fifteen yearling hel1ers
for $500 each, and eighteen long
yearlings steers for $500 each. AT
noon a substantial lunch was served,
and the sale then continued for the
balance of the day. Bidding was very
brisk and the stock went to buyers
from all parts of the Salmon River
and Camas Prairie country.

Mr.. Sweet himself was much in
evidence and frequently addressed the
buyers. At the close he expressed
liilnseir as highly pleased with the
result and stated that the total went
Sioo0 higher than he had anticipated.
MT IL. M. Harris acted as clerk of the
SAFE. Ihls was the first sale that the
ilrm or Cue and Cranke had handled
III the Camas prairie country. and the
results were highly satisfactory to all
concerned. They have been retained
by Mr. Sweet to handle another sale
in the fall.
During the day members of the
poard OF the Northwest association
addressed the crowd, and urged sup
port Tor the coming show. That this
section Is solidly behind the organiza-
zion was shown by the fact that
exactly 16O enrolled themselves as
members, many of these being life
memberships, this being record for
one day in any one locality. The
sale was followed by stockmen's
banquet and several hundred dollars
was subscribed for the coming show
at Lewiston. S. A. Anderson. presi-
dent OF the Grangeville chamber of
commerce presided, and the attend
ance was about so. Plans were made
TO nave the secretary of the North
west association stay over, and a
large sum was promised by the bust
ness men of Grangeville. Frank Nc
Crane put his firm, the Alexander
trledenrich Co., down for 500 and
said: THE greatest asset of the
irangeville country is the Northwest
Livestock association. We are de-
termined to maintain it, and if nee
essary our firm will subscribe $500. !,
The banquet was enlivened by manv
speeches from visiting stockmen.
Paul GLADSTONE, Secretary of the
Northwest Livestock association. was
one of the visitors during the Sweet
sale. 1T has been a great pleasure
for me to meet with the stockmen at
this time and confer with them in or
der to make this years show bigger
and better than ever" said Mr.. Clag-
stone yesterday. practically every
stockraiser has taken out new mem
bership, and many have made very
liberal donations in addition. The
business interests have also done even
more than could have been expected,
and this is the sort of support which
will keep our association on a per
manent foundation. Our banquet at
the Imperial hotel the evening of the
sale was one of the most enthusiastic
meetings / have ever attended, and
speaking for the visitors l wish to
express our appreciation of the splend-
id meal that was served and to ex-
tend hearty vote of thanks to Mrs.
Kelley, the proprietress of the hotel"
