Why the English Word "Red" 10 Not
 tO Be Found Among Th0m.
 Black, White and Brown are com mon surnames in English, but there Is no English family called Red. The for mer names were given originally be- cause of the complexion of the persons who received them. It seems strange that in a people among whom red heads were common none should have acquired the name "Red," especially as this Is frequently bestowed as a nick name. A dictionary explains this as follows:
 "Red, like lead Qed), with which it is phonetically parallel, had in Middle English a long vowel, which has be- come shortened. The long vowel re- mains, however, in the surnames Read, Reade, Reed, Reid, which represent old forms of the adjective and the exist ence of which as surnames explains the almost total absence of the expected surname Red. parallel to Black, Brown. White. etc"
 The equivalent of 'red" in foreign languages Is just as common a sur name as are the equivalents of black" white" and brown" for the reason that in them there has been no modification of the original word.- New York World.

Ahandon Food Prsiudiees.

Don't be finicky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nOur- lshing foods widely used and enjoyed in one section are practically unknown in other sections of the country. Learn to know all the good things. not few only.
 People too easily get into food ruts; insist on eating only the food they are used to and refuse to give a fair trial to others. This causes undue demand for certain staples. with resulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short At the same time Other valuable foods may be relatively cheap and available. A striking instance of this Is failure fully to appreciate rice a valuable source of starch-when potn- toes are scarce and high. Another ex- ample Is refusal in certain sections to use anything but wheat as a bread stun. when corn-a valuable cereal widely used elsewhere as a breadstuff is plentiful and relatively cheap Los Angeles Times.

When Safety First" and Not Large
 Returns Is the Object.
 "A conservative policy would prompt all buyers of securities to invest at least a portion of their capital in gov ernment issues or some other form of sound bonds," says Leslie's Weekly.
 "Many investors have a preference exclusively for stocks because the lat ter may render a higher yield or may fluctuate more widely, thus offering larger chances for speculative profit. Dividend paying shares of the season. ed sort are not to be belittled, and they will perhaps always form the major portion of the average investors pur- chases. There is reasonable safety in them.
 But frmer 'cOrnerstOnes of fortune are found in the better class bonds. These are not necessarily gilt edged, but they are well secured. In times of prosperity the issuing corporations have no difficulty in meeting interest charges. In times of depression divi- dends on stocks may be suspended, but the enterprise must pay interest on its bonds or submit to foreclosure. And in such event the bOndholder rare ly suffers loss. Their high degree of stability and safety cOmmends good bonds as an indispensable part of any well established estate'

GET BACK TO NATURE.
Live the Simple Life and Win HOalth
 and Happiness.

1.-Two the Simple Life and Win Health and Happiness.
 The movement to return to nature and simple life is the solution offered to the high cost of living problem, but health experts and enthusiasts have found it to be the only way of right living or healthful living known today. They have adopted 1t as a safe road to health. They say that a return to na- ture means good digestion, sound sleep, clear head, a placid mind, content ment and joy to be alive.
 But first, they say, 1t means getting close to nature-living out of doors as much as possible by working, playing and resting in the open air and, above all, by sleeping in the open air. Out door sleeping is the best lfe preserver known" It means also going to the garden and orchard for your bill of fare-tOmatOes, lettuce, celery, spinach, turnips, beans, corn, peas, melons, ber- r1es, apples, peaches, plums and all other fruits and green stuffs untouched by fire.
 The real value of adopting the sim. pie life, according to the health ex- perts, lies in the pleasure we find in living 1t. To do it grudgingly or with out knowing and appreciating its bene- fits we bOtch it and fail, but to love health more than appetite and seek 1t is to have health, comfort, efficiency and a long life. Start the simple nfe-begin 1t today" is the motto of this health Carolina State Board of Health Bulletin.

Jack. Then after a silent handshake went lodging in among the heavy shadows of the mountain canyons, leaving me alone with my wonderful COrenca, whose speed was matchless and whose temper was the devils own. If he could only evade capture while l rode to Halseyville for help! Twice forty odd miles would have to be GOV cred, and the hope was slight, but Co. renca was a wonderful foundation upon which to build 1t. If the foe should lose even a little time on the false trail of the other horse and Jack get a few extra hours, just few, where each moment gained was gltnted with gold!
 My thoroughbred mare, chafing and tugging at the bit as We swept out into sur long, hard trip, set me to wonder ing whether spared her most by hold ing her in or letting her have her head. l tried to compromise, but she willed 1t otherwise, and the ground slipped away under her feet like a smooth run ming belt from the fywheel of some pOnderous machine. It seemed as if she knew the need for haste and scOrn- ed a suggestion of her own limitations. The only notice my restraining hand received was an impatient toss of her shapely head and a savage jerk at the reins.
 In less than an hour-Only an hour behind poor Jack, I thought. with a sinking heart-I saw our grim pur- suers in the road before me but all that I feared from them was delay. They knew I was not the man they wanted and were themselves there to uphold their idea of the law and hu- man justice in their fierce, crude way. They might attempt to take me back with them-the one thing that really dreaded-but of personal violence had no fear. My government position would again protect me, and whatever time they hindered me Jack would also gain from them.
 As we approached I got the halting signal, but the little mare rushed ahead, alike unmindful of their shout ing and my hand. Two men dismeunt- ed hurriedly and made a rush for my bridle as we passed. In flash COren- cas- fighting blood was up, and, with gnashing teeth and eyes like a drag on's, she was upon and over them and dashed ahead. A dozen mounted men spurred after us with the act. They might as we'll have chased the wind, for the very dust from the little mare's feet fell short of their leader. They dared not shoot lest Uncle Sam should hear the echo presently and only vast ed little time for Jack to profit by.
 Once clear of pursuit Corenca fell of q little in her speed, but not in her in

A Eoraot+en Monument,

A Washington monument that was never erected occupied the attention Ol the citizens of New York in 1S47. II was to tower so far above any other structure that it might be seen many miles out at sea. Several thousand dol lars were actually raised and the cor nerstOne was laid with ceremony i'll Hamilton square, which covered the blocks now contained between Third and Fifth avenues, Sixty-sixth and Sixty-ninth streets. This was before Central park had been outlined. Ham iltOn square was a portion of the old common lands of the city. It is not known what became of the Washing ton monument cornerstone. The mon ument association gradually ceased to exist. The $1,OOO,OOO monument was forgotten, and when the ground once known as Hamilton square was out up and the streets ran through no record remained as to what was done with the cornerstone and it's leaden box filled with memorials of the city in 1847.- Exchange.

Getting the Beet Results Out of Fore
 quarter 0f Lamb.
 Are you aware of how much you can get from a fOreQuarter of lamb? If it Is cut correctly it should give a rack of lamb (French chOps) and a shoulder, besides the neck and the breast, which may be boiled
 From these last parts one can make crOquettes, meat loaf, minced lamb on toast and salad, besides many Oth- CT cooked meat dishes. The shoulder can be filled and roasted, boiled with caper sauce or pot roasted.
 The rack, which is made up of dainty French chops, is the choicest part of the entire lamb, and if the butcher cuts the foreQuarter correctly there will be twelve delicious chops. These may be cut as needed or roasted in one piece.
 To cut the forequarter correctly re- move the shoulder and take out all the bone; cut off the neck and breast, then remove the chine and the chops. Don't throw away the bones and trimmings. Boil and strain them, then set aside to cool and remove the fat, which then can be used for deep fat frying Washington Star.

Of course twas TarpOn's work, Tarpon, whose murderous band my stout friend had restrained and who had done this other murder just to bring an averaging posse down on Jack in q humOr that would render inquiries few and ex- plantations useless.
 Bill Morgan brought the word. It seemed a strange unbending of the out laws spirit. Perhaps his own wild, hunted life led him to pity in his un- couth way victim run to earth with out warning. or possibly he had some personal memories to be avenged. Anyway he told us just before day break of the cOwardly crime that had been fastened so mmistakably and so unjustly upon Jack and of the furious pursuers close upon our trail.
 Before us were the mountains, grim and full of dangers for the stranger fugitive, but to this score of relentless followers home. Some forty miles be- hind lay Halseyville-and safety, for half her leading citizens-the mayor himself to say nothing of his fair daughter-wOuld have sworn to Jacks presence at a banquet given in our honor at the very time the murder was committed miles away. But between our camp and vindicatiOn rode a re- lentless uninquiring foe with a single purpOse-and a halter. The outlook was gloomy enough for poor Jack.
 It seemed that l was not connected with the crime That, too, was Tar. pOn's skillful planning. or perhaps my government position saved me.
