WHITING OUT OF FASHION
Decline of Ancient and Honorable
Pastime So Marked as to Have
p, Peg r.. Been Noted.

Come to think OF 1t, there Is some
truth in the statement that whiting
as lazy or tired mans pastime, is
going out of existence. A storekeep-
er says ~ used to set box out in
front of the store for the boys to set
on, and the next day ther'd be nothin'
left of the box 'ceptin' lot of whit
Tins Uttered like around the side
walk. But now a box will last jest
about all summer No, whit
tim amt what it were" At rail-
way station the agent remarked that
whereas a waiting-room bench had
shorter life in the older days than
two-bit harmonlca," the present
benches in the mems waiting room
over which he had jurisdiction had
lasted well on to 10 months. And
at post Office, blacksmith shop, livery
stable and elsewhere the crowd no
longer amuses itself with knife and
soft wood. Perhaps men are too busy.
The storekeeper referred to above has
another theory. He says: They're
too cussed lazy today to whet their
jack nlves."-Exchange.

some dried fruit-prunes, figs, dates,
apricots and pears. These when well
cooked are especially healthful eaten
IN combination with cooked cereal.
A fried egg to be cooked so that 1t
will be digestible should be dropped

a tablespoonful of hot water, then
cover and steam in the pan,
Ham omelette.-Prepare an ONE

ham. Less may be used for small

minutes to finish cooking.
Eggs In Peppers.-Cut a thin slice

and take out the seeds. Cut a slice
from the smaller end so that the pep
per will stand level and place on a
slice of buttered toast. Make a hol-
low In the toast and break an egg into
each. Bake until the eggs are set.
Goldfish a la Mode.-Flake one cup
full of Goldfish very fine, soak IN cold

tatoes with two cupfuls OF top milk or
thin cream, add two well-beaten eggs.
Season to taste mix well and pile into

good luck. What matter if it hurts?
On occasion both municipal officials
and clergy take part in the festivities,
and frequently our ancient customs
put them to uncOuth tests. Each year
procession leaves G"ammont and
goes to the Gutenberg. Prayers are
said in public, after which lOaves and
fishes are distributed to the crowd,
and the burgomaster offers the priest
a silver, loving cup filled with white
wine in which tiny minnoWs are swim
ming. A wry face, grave gulp and
the career of little fish ends in the
pastoral stomach. And so it goes till
every notable and every minnOw has
faced the same ordeal. At nightfall
huge bonfires upon the surrounding
hilltOps light up the countryside. IT'S
said that these customs date back to
the worship of Ceres.
Three Entwined Ladies'"

tragic deaths of the three entwined

lore. In 1854 Bouvignes is furiously
attacked by the king of France. The
town is taken, but the valiant citadel
of Crevecoeur still holds out. Assault
defenders are now bare hundred, in
Guiding old men, women and children,
then fifty, then ten-at last three
young and beautiful women. "The
Ladies of Crevecoeur" still hold out
desperately. They are about to be
taken. Rather than serve at kings
feast, they climb to the topmost ram
parts and entwining their arms throw
themselves into the Meuse, forever
more the gentle guardian of their
womanly honor. Until this day the
stream continues to weave its liquid
blue shroud over their white bodies.
Doubtless the folklore of Flanders
differs from the Walloon traditions
and customs. The latter are light and
gay, the former rich in color and full
of quaint beliefs. The Flemish kerr

beer and the smiles of women" But
the last words of the prestly warning
have scarce died away before the fes-

things of this earth, and ardent youth
feels that it lives. AS evening falls on
the gay Sundays of August, ribald
songs and old-time dances end these
