Just below an arched stone bridge
which carries the road over a pebbly
brook the brown waters swirl down
among rocks and. spreading out, form
an ideally deep and foam-decked trout
pool. It looks at spot for veritable
king Of trout to hold his solitary court
and there is a tradition In the imme-
date countryside that some years age
three-pounder was taken from Its
waters.
It is this tradition which every
year lures to the bank Of the beautiful
pool ardent anglers who vainly hope
that history will repeat itself.
Early on a misty morning In April
a young man in mackinaw and soft
hat, carrying creel and slender bam-
boo rod, came down the highway to-
ward the pool. A gray roadster stood
on the bridge.
On reaching the first point in the

TOOK 1T AS A COMPLIMENT
WhIttler's Pet Dog Had Reasons for
Showing Appreciation Of Sing
Ina of "Robin Adalr."

An old lady who was friend OF
the poet Whittier tells the following
story:
At one time. when his birthday WEI
being publicly celebrated, he had As
guest Mrs. Julia Houston West,
then the most celebrated oratorio
singer in America. After the dinner
Whittier asked her to sing. She chose
for her selection the ballad "Robin
Affair."" which she sang with great
pathos and feeling. Hardly had she
begun the song when Whittier's pet
dog came into the room, walked over
close to her side and stared up at her
with every expression Of delight.
When she had finished, he lifted his
paw to shake hands, and then. leap
ing up, he licked her cheek.
"His name is also Robin Adair,"
explained Mr.. Whittier, $50 he takes
that song as tribute to himself"
And very evidently he did. From
that moment he devoted himself to
Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side,
indoors or out, during her visit; and
when she went away he carried her
travelling bag in his mouth as far as
the carriage. and showed his sorrow
over her departure in every way that
q dog could.-Youth's Companion.

"Eat the Crusts."

"Eat the crusts, DEAR" grandfather
used to say to me when on those delight.
full never-to-be-forgotten childhood Wis.
its to grandpa's house.
Whether it was because of the dear
old mans admonition and the love I bore
/ don't know, but do know that have
always eaten crusts and do yet. In
childhood ate crusts because my elders
said it was right to eat them, and as
grew up and went to high school and
college, took more than passing inter
est in chemistry, and then / discovered
the real reason why one should eat
crusts. How pleased was when came
across sensible reason! I remember
the JOY of that day yet and many others.
This was the reason: The heat of the
oven has particular effect on the starch
and sugar contained In the -four of the
wheat and changes it into dextrine, and
the greatest amount of dextrine Is found
Ia the crusts, so that the crusts of bread
are the most easily taken care of by the
stomach. And 80 I have always eaten
crusts and, since adolescence, from
choice.
There Is not finer dish, to my mind,
than bowl of our pure Jersey milk,
with generous handful of bread crusts
nicely cut up and put in.
just put a quart of milk into granite
saucepan, add the crust, place on stove
and let come just to a boil. It will re.
fresh you, cure fatigue and satisfy all
your demands for supper. Try 1t.
Every one who has travelled in Sweden
will remember the thin, round, fiat cakes
of bread they have there. Dough is
rolled out till about one inch thick and
put in round, shallow pans, like our pie
tins. The dough is then pricked all over
with fork and set to raise little time
and then baked. This thin cake gives
good crust on both sides. 1t is cut
into narrow strips. Then an individual
splits strip through the middle and
adds generous supply of good butter
and it's an ideal bread. I persuaded the
home folk to like it and now we all eat
1t. The idea was to get az much crust
on the bread as possible. These north
ern nations are ever on the alert to find
ways of better health. The coarse rye.
bread, the chief bread of the peasantry,
is largely responsible for their strength
and vigor.
Rye-bread is certainly the finest natu-
raj dentifrice that / have ever used.
After eating rys-bread for day or two
your teeth become pearly white and
remain so as long as you eat this bread.
