)oHs MUIR AND HIS BREAD.
The Famous Naturalist Lived the Real
Simple Life.

Simple Life.
The naturalist and explorer, John
Muir, was q curlously simple man-as
simple In his tastes and appetltes as
in his views Of life and conduct On
his trips through the Sierras lie never
carriei gun and never killed game.
nor did he catch fish.
He lived almost exclusively on plain
dry bread. There is no waste In 1t"
he used to say. Every particle Is Of
value. l also take along a small pack
age of tea and little tin cup in stout
canvas bag. can sustain my strength
on this diet for months at time. I
occasionally run across some wild ber:
ries or an edible root to chew on. but
they are not important"
At dinners to which he was invited
Mr. Muir would usually barely taste
of soup or fruit, never touch meat or
any fancy dessert, talk while others
ate and nibble away between times mt
a slice of bread without butter.
Once while visiting Pasadena he wns
one of party starting out to get sup
per, after which 1t was purposed to
spend the evening In the rooms of one
of the company. AS they walked along
the street they passed n bakery. and
Mr.. Muir stopped. "Why, friends. look
here" he said. THAT Is good looking
bread. Why go any farther? Let's buy
a couple of loaves and take them to
the room with u.s." And he was quite
In earnest.
Once friend took him to luncheon
at famous restaurant In San Fran
cisco. AS they took seats at table
Mr.. Muir was engaged In some discus
sion in which he was 80 absorbed that
he was oblivious to everything else.
His friend could not interrupt him.
and 80 the talk flowed on until the
time approached for closing the res
taurant. The head waiter told the
host that he must give his order with
out further delay. Taking advantage
Of the interruption, the friend suggest
ed to Mr.. Muir that he should give his
order He seemed startled. II have

yourself" For an hour as he talked
he had been chewing bits of bread

A CULINARY COMEDY.
Ore Of the Trials Of Husband Whose
Wife Can't Cook.

They were newly married couple.
The wife. though fair cook, did not
know how to make the things his
mother had prepared. And this ve1ed
the husband, although he was disposed
to be indulgent for the sake Of har-
mony. But there was one point upon
which he sorrowed not a little. His
wife could not make edible corn bread,
and corn bread was the food upon
which he was reared.
One day a girlhood friend of the wife
visited her and. after assisting in the
preparation of luncheon, accepted an
invitation to stay and eat it with the
newlyweds. The husband arrived, and
the guest and he took their places at
the table while the wife went to the
kitchen to bring some forgotten dish.
Before his plate was the husbands
corn bread, but it was a miserable fail
ure. sickly yellow, fat and heavy.
He became confidential.
There is one of the trials Of a hus-
band whose wife can't cook" he said
apOlogetically to the guest. Just have
a look at that corn bread. But you
mustn't let the wife know what said.
for 1t would hurt her feelings"
When the wife entered the room a
few moments later she noticed that
deep blush suffused the guests face.
why. what is the matter. dear?" she
asked.
Its nothing" the guest replied hur.
riedly.
An hour later, after the husband had
gone to the office, the chorus of two
laughing women's voices merrily re-
sounded through the household of the
newlyweds.
But the wife has not yet told the
husband that her guest made the corn
bread on that day she stayed for lunch.

cause she considered herself an adept

REV. Mr. Wall has been in charge of
the local Nj. f. church for two years
and a half and he has proved a popu-
lar and efficient pastor. During his
charge the activities of the church
have been at their height and the
finances never better. Much improve
mcnt has been made in the church
properties. The church attendance has
been remarkably large and the Sunday
school has grown. Mr.. Wall is a re-
markable preacher and his discourses
have always had interested audiences.
Mrs. Wall. whose beautifully trained
voice IS of so much value in church
work, has assisted in the choir and
she has often been a soloist. She has
given much help in musical affairs in
town during her stay here, often as a
soloist.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
