Copied Billy Sunday.

Billy Sunday, the famous American
evangelist recently converted a Japa-
nese who was a butlef The next day
his master had a large dinner party,
and the Jap was told to do his best.
Course after course came on, and the
guests were delighted with the dinner.
AT last the Jap brought on a huge
cake, as final touch, and, remcmber-
ing that Billy Sunday had closed his
service with prayer. the Jap figured
out that he should close the dinner
with a religious sentiment. Not know
ing much of the language Of the Bible,
he decided to choose the phrase which
converted him. So the guests were
amazed to find on the cake in sugared
writing: "Prepare to meet thy Cod"
London Tit-Bits.

To Keep Juices in Meat.

Here are some of the pieces Of Gu
linary advice that your French
grand'am If .ou bad one, would have
made it her particular object to have
told you:
To fry well. the fat must heat well
before putting what you wish fried
into it; and this you ascertain by
throwing in a piece Of bread, which
should gild Immediately; the color
should be yellow or light brown
never darker.
All meat should be sauted-fried III
a skillet In hot fat-before being
stewed. This is done to keep the juices
IN. To stew well the only rule IS to
let the meat that has been sauted sim
mer gently for a long time, keeping it
In the steam.

LEFLORE COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.

Lefore County Teachers Associa-
ton met in regular session at the
County court house, Saturday, April
7th, 1880 A. M. The meeting was
opened by the president, Mr.. L. S.
Rogers, who spoke a few appropriate
words on the present crisis in Nat
ional affairs, expressing the loyalty
of all teachers present and their de-
termination to stand ready for any
possible service
1t was decided to postpone a dis
cussion of the set of questions on
Arithmetic selected by the program
committee to another meeting and to
proceed at once to make final arrange
ments for the County Field Day to be
held at Itta Bena, Friday, April 18th.
The first question discussed was
put to a vote and carried affirma-
lively: "That each school may enter
two pupils in musical contests, and
that these pupils may be taught by
music teachers in either public or pri-
vate school, their fitness for entrance
as contestants to be decided in a pre-
liminary contest at their school,"
The order of events was next dis
cussed and the special committee on
program went into open session and
decided in detail as to sequence of
events and requirements for entrance;
these details to be printed in final
program to be used at Meet.
The question Of ways and means
to meet expenses of the day, followed.
1t was the general sentiment of the
meeting that Itta Bena must not be
allowed to bear the brunt of the ex-
penses, as was the case last year,
when she dispensed such lavish hos
pitality.
Mr.. Hughes, the County Superin-
tendent offered to ascertain from State
Superintendent Bond, if the county In
stitute funds were available for such
use. 1t was decided, however, as time
was so near, to charge a nominal fee
to entrance grounds, and to ask that
both contestants and visitors bring
lunch or buy it from a committee on
grounds who would sell trays for Csc.
If there were expenses above amount
collected, such was to be divided
among schools represented at meet
ing.
It was decided to hold no meeting
Saturday, May 9Th, as the State
Teachers Association would be in ses-
sion in Columbus on that date. The

opens today with great enthusiasm,
the weather permitting. The New
York Giants have come here to pry
off the lid, after having participated
in more than twenty exhibition games.
Despite the war cloud, baseball hos
tilities between the United States and

the athletes of the land, have declared
hat they will leave Immediately and
join the colors. Other games sched-
uled for today in the National League
are: Philadelphia, at Brooklyn; st.
Louis at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh at
Chicago. The championship season
opens this year with more than 100
players taken from minor leagues
who were practically unknown two
years ago. The National League de-
veloped more youngsters last year
than the American League, although
President Johnson's circuit was not
far behind in this respect.
In the American League games will
be played at New York, Philadelphia,

descendant of a Confederate soldier,
who does not respond willingly to the

that when the Stars and Stripes-as

do my duty to my country l will at
