A LEAP YEAR OFFERING.

Come all you girls and listen,
Just hearken unto me,
And III make your sorrows fee.
I've been thinking of it lately
And I'm sure it is fact
That the boys around Beetown
Want to try the leap year act.
Artie Tebo has been patient
Looking forward to this year,
Now if you would pop the question
1t would fill him with good cheer.
Bump Blackburn is almost waiting
Just let me give you girls a hunch-
Whoever gets that jolly fellow
Will surely get a honey bunch.
Now Floggy Marshall is another,
And you'll agree he isn't old;
Now dear girls you cannot miss it
For on you he'll spend his gold.
PIGGY Winner has been noted
For those lovely parcel showers.
There is still a chance to win him
In the quiet evening hours.
bod Taylor is still hoping
That for him you'll set your sail;
Courage, sisters, do not falter,
He now helps handle the mail
Billie Brun thinks he's fated
So this day give him your hand,
And on YOU he viii lavish
All the coin and Beetown land.
Jack Anstey is on the market,
He SAYS he wants a chosen mate;
Nab him, girls, this very moment,
Before it is forever too late.
Pard Thorpe. DO not forget him.
Freeze to him this very hour,
He will make model husband
Tho he looks little sour.
But if YOU are up against it
And don't find on high or low,
Clarence Birch will take the offer
If YOU bring along the dough.
no chance for a few &C. NJ

MIXER OF DRINKS
IN GOOD OLD DAYS.

Old Dad Sparks, the dean of New
Orleans barkeepers, no longer is con-
cOcting his famous drinks When the
Crescent Hill bar in New Orleans
closed its doors recently, Dad
Sparks, Notwithstanding his seventy
nine years, was on duty, keeping his
watch, match for the youngest and
most ROBUST OF his fellows But there
was sorrow in his heart. The cur
tain was being rung down on his ac-
tivities as an expert mixer of balmy
draughts and rotations, many OF them
unknown to the modern adopts of the
art.
A barkeeper in the old days had
to know his business, | can tell you
said Dad calling up memories of
his youth. Just to get up a toddy, or
hand out a glass of beer, wouldn't do
in the old steamboat days. No, sir.
In those days we barkeepers of New
Orleans were known far and wide as
the best mixers in the country, and
no matter what the man ordered, we
could fix him up.
If man just wanted a glass Of
beer he couldn't get it at a regular
saloon. No, he went to a beer house
for that, where beer was kept on ice
We only handled imported German
beer in bottles in the saloons. But if
he was after hot apple toddy, or
real drinks, he came to us. There
were only a few places where the bet
ter class of drinks were served in
the 70's, so we were crowded all the
time.
Talking of hot apple toddy, I guess
not many folks nowadays ever heard
of it." continued the old man. II
haven't mixed on for many long
day, but 1 can tell you what it was
made of-baked apple, apple brandy,
cinnamon, sugar and hot water, that's
what! But there's no use talking
about those old drinks, nobody hard
ly remembers them"
However, Dad" couldn't resist
mentioning one more of the old-time
favorites.

Enthusiastically, that was drink for
you. Just mention that to the old
timers and see what they will say.

guess not"
Dad went on to tell how in his
early days gin rickeys and other pop
ular drinks of to-day were unknown.
"Highballs were called 'seltzer-and-
whisky then" he said, "and the Man
haitian cocktail was not concocted.
That was first introduced here about
1879 But we did use Martini cock

Object of the Truest Artists.

1t would appear to be the object OF
the truest artists to give permanence
to images such as we should always
desire to behold and might behold
without agitation; While the inferior
branches of design are concerned with

the turn of narrative, or the course

WHEN WHEY CLEANS HOUSE
by J.J. MARTINI

@e@s
House cleanin' time is now at hand
Ger all the broad and fertile land.
The cleanin' microbes in the blood
OF all the wifely sisterhood.
When they are bitten by the bug.
They want TO change, or move or lug
The last blamed thing from out the
house,
Not leavin' room for roach or mouse
To climb upon or hide behind.
It's just one doggone swirl and grind
I've beaten old rugs with q stick,
I've beaten 'em till it made me sick,
With wifey sayin' DER and DER:
"They need little beatin' more
And have even tried to find
A place without this cleanin' grind.
l telephoned the Hottentot,
= She said we're cleanin' house a lot.
A wireless then ! got from Mars,
1t said they polish up the stars.
1t beats the Dutch; it beats the band
How much house cleanin' we can
stand.
Now, il in cleanin' was boss,
A few things from the room I'd toss
And then I'd slide the others round
Just easy-like without a sound.
And in this easy, peaceful way
I'd clean dozen rooms day,
While Jane Mirandy, my dear wife,
= Sat in the shade, enjoyin' life.

FRIENDS AT UNIQUE PARTY

One of the most delightful of the
school parties held this year, took

by Miss June Severson and Mrs, Ber-
tha Katie. Eight girls gave a May
pole dance in a charming manner.
One very amusing event took place
which had not been planned on the
program-Old Mother Hubbard's lit

big brown goose had scrap"
The remainder of the evening was
devoted to interesting games, after
which each guest was presented with

HOW ONE CAKE RECIPE
MAY BE EASILY VARIED

A cake always adds finishing
touch to light meal, or comes in
handy to serve to an expected guest,
yet some times we have no time To-
make something fancy and where one
dislikes TO serve just "plain cake"
we can easily vary the usual recipe
by the simple addition Of something
extra in the way of flavoring or nuts,
or chopped fruit. The following is a
good recipe for plain cake batter and
is easily and quickly made, remember
ing however, that the batter must be
beaten thoroly and until bubbles be-
gin to appear. After this the extras
may be added. Following are q few
good suggestions for variations.
Batter

" cup butter
2 eggs
2 cups -four
