A MUNIFICENT GIFT "a: &C.: =: !;

you don't have to lie awake at night
wondering if your widow would be
provided for"
"Mr. ComegyS loves a good Irish
story said Henry as they rode
away, "and he was telling me about
an Irish contractor living in Chi
cago, who, being well fixed, sent to
Ireland for his brother Patrick.
When Pat arrived in New York his
brother was there to meet him, and
after fixing Pat up with new clothes,
a good dinner and attending a vau-
deville performance, they boarded
the night train for Chicago. Think
ing it would be easier on Pat if he
gave him the lower berth of the
Pullman, Mike took the upper and
after getting under the covers he
thought OF Pat, and, leaning over
the edge OF the berth, asked:
can how ar eyez making out
down there, Pat?
"Olm maxim out all right, an
swered Pat, only Oi'm hayin' one
diyil Of a. time thrying to get into
this hammock
"While we are about it, there is
one important thing | want to at
tend to- said Henry, "and that is to
show you where to get good bread.
SO well ride over to Solomon's
Steam Bakery on West Main street,
which is the largest bakery in Ard
more. 1t is always open for in
spection, for it is sanitary in every
respect. They do the best bread
baking around here, making thou
sands Of loaves of bread a day, and
their large single loaf called Solo
mons Very Best Bread, is the best
l have ever eaten
At Nellie's request, after meeting
Mr.. Solomon, they were taken back
into the factory, where, as Charlie
aptly remarked, they were mixing
up 'the biggest bunch of dough-
he had ever seen. Mr. Solomon
then explained to them all how the
bread was made entirely by ma
chinery; that the sacks OF flour
after being thoroughly acratcd, are
emptied into a blending and sitting
machine, from which they are car
ried by a closed conyeyor into the
huge iron mixing machine, where
the flour is thoroughly mixed with
the other ingredients. The dough
is then cmptied into white iron
troughs, and allowed to raise the re-
quired length of time, and then
dropped to the floor below through
a galvanized iron chute. 1t thcr
goes through the dough diyidcr, a
machine which scales off four loayc.
at a time and turns out $500 loavc,
an hour. This is the latest type
in a machine of this kind. The
four pieces of dough which are
dropped out of the pockets Of tn,
diyider are carried automatically OF
duck belt to the rounding ma
chine, where they are formed into
O. balls and then dropped into a re
yolving proohng cabinet, wher,
they are again allowed to proof tn,
