On the Spur

The Silver Cornet Band.
When our towns silver cornet band comes
marchin' down the street,
All dressed in gold braid uniforms, it
surely is treat.
The folks line up along the walks and
drink the music in.
The boys take Susie's STARS and Stripes"
and hit her up like sin.
And every woman who has got some kin
that's in the band
Points him out to her neighbors and she
says. My, amt he grand ~
The boys all march along like kings and
hold their heads upright;
They may be shy on music, but they sure
look out of sight
The sour notes pass. unnoticed and no one
cracks a smile.
Rem Hawkins on the slide trombone kin
be heard for a mile,
The bass drum is the only other thing
that you kin hear,
And there's no use of any other players
bein' near.
Somehow you never notice that the har-
mony amt there: s-
The folks don't seem to listen, but they
only stand and stare.
The music is of doubtful sort we must
perforce agree,
But it's the finest LOOKIN' band that we
most see.

THE LITTLE roILERs.

THE LITTLE IOILERS-
Oh, brief is childhood's life.
A little span-a dayi
Yesterday was playing in the sand,
Today my hair is gray.
Little children at the wheel,
Deaf with the factory's din,
To open the playground in the world.
And see you trooping I'M
To see your faces, pale and wan,
Grow rudy in the air
To see you dancing on the green
To pipers piping there.
From every land to call you in,
Each toiling girl and boy,
And give you back your own
Your heritage of joy.

A little span-a day;
We should not need their toll

Another Spring Romance.

The winsome bride is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Golf of Ona-
way. The Gaylord girls are entirely
too slow to let William get away like
that. OF course, no one had any idea
that William was thinking seriously
of a love compact. But then it is in
the gentle springtime that the young
mans fancy turns to thoughts of love.
And while William was "pegging away
with his awl'' his aesthetic soul was
fired with ardent hopes and bright
dreams of domestic bliss. We extend
hearty congratulations to the bride
and groom and trust that the union
will bring additions of joy and hap
piness and prosperity.-Otsego County

Cooking Kidneys.

Kidneys are not very much eaten in
this country. They are served on res
taurant menus as a sort of delicacy. Yet
many of us hardly consider them worth
ordering in our own homes. They are de-
licious when properly cooked. and here
are some of the methods of cooking them
that give best results:
Broiled Kidneys-The best lambs kid
neys, absolutely fresh, should be chosen
for broiling. Wash them thoroughly and
plunge them into salted boiling water
Remove il from the fire and leave for five
minutes. Then cut the kidneys almost

cup of bread crumbs, a tablespoon Of
chopped parsley, the grated rind Of half
a lemon and one well beaten egg. Spread
this mixture on slices of bacon and wrap
each slice of bacon around a well washed
kidney Skewer the bacon in place and
bake the kidneys in the oven until done.
Serve with brown gravy.

Topics of the
Home and
Household.

When boiling old potatoes, add little
milk to the water. This viii keep them
from turning dark.
II your sewing machine skips stitches,
try loosening the screw that holds the
needle in place, let the needle drop trihe
and tighten up again.
When taking hot potatoes from the
oven, pull over your hands little bags
that sugar comes in. Anybody is apt to
burn hands or arms in turning potatoes
or taking them from the oven, and these
little bags are convenient to have for
protection.
Clean the baby carriage wheels before
the carriage is brought into the house.
Perhaps the best way to do it is to use
vegetable brush with handle, which
can be bought for five cents. Hang the
brush outside the door in handy but in
place.
Celery and Grapefruit Sslad-Cut the
fruit in thirds lengthwise, remove the
