BRlCKLEY TO ENTER YALE

Charley Brickley, captain of Har-
wards 1914 football team, and great
est drop-kicker of his day, got the
shock of his life when his youngest
brother. Arthur, who is finishing this
year at Worcester Academy, inform
ed him Monday afternoon that he
had fully decided to enter Yale next
fall.
The younger brother Brickley Is
kicking even better than his brother
did at his age, and first handled a
football when he was only year old.
Charley asked his brother to recon-
slider and matriculate at Harvard, and
the youngster said he might do so,
but would give no promises.

the little people, and may be varied
with icings and filings. An inexpen-
sive recipe follows: Separate the white
and yolks of two eggs, beat the yolks
until thick. Add to them half a cup
full of sugar and two tablespoonfuls
of lemon juice. Take teaspoonful Of
baking powder, a pinch of salt and
one cupfuI of -four sifted together.
Beat the whites. add half cupful of
sugar to them, then put the two egg
mixtures together and fold in the

Economy in Meats.

When preparing hamburger steak
add cupful of cooked oatmeal TO
pound of the meat; it does not lessen
its attractiveness or its nourishment,
but it does decrease the cost as it goes
much farther in sel-'ing. A little
scraped onion and 3 pinch Of cloves
will vary the usual seasoning Of salt
and pepper.
If you have opportunity to notice
the meat bills Of those who buy meats
which take little time to prepare, like
steaks, outlets and chops, you will find
that they are much larger than those
of the cook who buys pot roasts, stews
soup meat and the cheaper cuts. A
small piece of meat added to a large
quantity of vegetables will give flavor
to them and the amount Of meat will
never be noticed.
As meat is the great item in many
families. costing as much as it does
today. it is needfui that all house
wives take serious thought and do
much planning to furnish their famil-
les with nourishing food with the
amount they have to spend upon it.

A Hair Raising Encounter
With Bruin

A mining engineer was taking q
little exc rcise one morning in the
Rockies, and as he paused a moment
to look about, few bones caught his
eye. The meat was picked from them
but the gristle was quite fresh. "Ah'',
he thought, "a bear must have been
enjoying spring lamb"
He thought bear, and ne instantly
saw bear. Lurching down the steep,
and stopping directly in his path, was
a huge grizzly, which was evidently
as much surprised as the man. but
not SO frightened. The bear rose on
its hind legs, waving its paws, and
looked at the man slantwise.
The engineer returned the stare,
glance for glance, not knowing what
else to do, half expecting the beast to
run, as most fourfoots will, and feel
ing backward at the same time for a
footing that would give him range
enough to use his rife.
AS he took step backward the bear
stepped forward, growing. Oh, for
tree. If there had been one in sight
he would have risked running for it,
as grizzlies are not good climbers, like
the black bears; but there he was-he
could neither run nor shoot His
enemy gave grin and growl, and
took another step forward, clawing at
/ him.
The engineer dared not lift his rife
to his shoulder lest the bear should
grab the muzzle, but he managed to
grasp the barrel, and swinging it
round brought the butt down on the
grizzly's nose with a heavy blow.
The bear was only enraged, not stun
ned. and gave a growl, gnashing its
teeth with a terrible noise. For a mo-
ment the man expected no other fate
than to become the supper for little
bears.
Something cold slipped along his
shoulder and touched his cheek. For
tunately he had sufficient nerve not to
turn. There was sharp report close
to his head that made him deaf, and
kept his ears ringing for months af-
terward; but the bear pitched forward
just clearing him, and rolled down the
rocks to a ledge below, shot through
its wicked eye. A friend had come to
the aid of the engineer.
