For some reason best known to
himself, the o next called upon
the three men who formed the viii
lage committee. These were Mr.. Mil

he had beep chairman Of the CON-
mittee, Mr.. Brandt was chosen to
speak for the three. 15
The witness was q middle-aged and
dignihed- looking man of a fine pres
ence. He told in a straightforward
manner Of the proposed gift from Mr..
Van Wyck to the village. He said
further that the committee thought
the project was ex~travagant, and
they felt much hesitation on accept
ing the library. But, he said. the
more they demurred. the more in

he finally Persuaded then,. that they
had no right to refuse 50 valuable an

Just Folks
By Edgar n euesA

Old Braown was n who used to say:
Much like a. book is every day
A book you want to read clear
through I'D,
And find what its people do;
The story starts and causes doubts,
But you must know how it turns out:
The hero gets in trouble. and
Appears to lose his sweetheart's hand.
But in the closing pages, you
Find happiness and marriage, too"
I like his notion. Every day
I start a story just that way,
And as I stand before my door,
1 wonder just what is in store
What joy or shdness shall be mine
Before I reach the closing line?
What new adventure shall l make?
What different road be mine to take?
But though the writing may be bad,
I trust the ending will be glad.
Now here's a new book just begun
This morning withthe rising sun!
Here wait perhaps adventures bold.
A thrilling tale that must be told,
Someone perhaps may rise to fame
Across the current Of my life
May blow the changing winds OF
strife,
And I may clear come to see
The answer to LIES mystery.
With interest the tale is filled;
Men dream and toll and plan and
build
And ever with the human race
Some wondrous change is takins
place.
I want to live this glad day through
To know what friends Of mine shall
do,
To learn, where now I stand in doubt
Just how the problem shall work
To read this book Of joys and woes
\ And know the story to its close.

Revive American Cookery ,,

The soldiers are now all back to
mother and a clean table-cloth, let
ting the army cook escape. Yet,
after cropping inarticulately among
bitter memories, getting a bad taste
out OF their mouths, and declaring
that they still love the kitchen maid
and country, they now declare that
our cookery is of foreign model, de-
cadent and unpatriotic, threatening
alike to the amiability Of the citi-
zen and the tranquility of the COM
munity Having gotten all this out
of their systems, we understand that
the war was won in spite of the cook
ing, while we were nation-building
the foreign prepagandist was in our
cook-rOom.
The soldiers may be right. Let us
return to American cooking, and win
the freedom of the seas, the hege-
mony of humanity and the emanct-
patton of the entrees simultaneously.
With reserYence let us return to the
pots and pans Of the rude forefathers
of the Republic-they who built an
empire on mince pie and plum duff,
so that we may keep it on sue
cotash, Indian pudding and Yankee
pot-roast, and make old age and
health as common as politics. First
let US open grandmother's cookbook
which enjoins: take one gill of rum
two noggins of Madeira, three anch-
ors of port, four tablespoonsfuls of
brandy" etc.
Yet let us hasten back to the ban
quets of our anCestors-who favored
the world with true democracy and
spiced freedom with all the eXhil-
aration of glorious life. They rails
ed crops, scalps. debts, steeples and
hardy generations on boiled dinners

the American plan and nourish a
breed of Washingtons TO be fathers
of their country, with progency as

 Apparently from nowhere the fish made their appearance in the waters of the lake, which is only a mile long and half a mile wide. One day there was no sign of them. the next day they were there by the thousands.
 They will not bite hook but "school' in such numbers that at times they form a solid mass of finny backs stretching from bank to bank of the feeding creeks.
 r In size they range from IS inches to 20 inches in length, and weigh between one and half and two pounds. People are coming to the lake with sacks and tubs and carrying away their winters s , food supply by the hundreds of pounds. ffhey are catching the fish with pitch forks. clubs and with their hands.
 Experts who have examined the fish are at a loss how to classify it, other dhan to surmise that it may be some species of the landlocked salmon.

 When tho wild geese honlx their high way to the southlands and each early morning brings a thicked skim of ice across the watering trough, it's time to talk of nutting and of nuts.
 How 1t Worked
 It used to work about like this, and since there still are boys and nuts, it probably does today Joe, whose old man lets him do any thing he wants, says he can borry the blackboard, but Sally. the bay mare, has a stone bruise and he dassen't take her outa the barn.
 Tho Wilkins boy says he thinks that MAYBE he can get his dads hoss.
 Iris enoughi Eight of us, not coupa- ling that little Eugene Blisser. who al- ways wants to tag along with the big boys, agree to help haul Joe's old mans blackboard up the road two miles to Swilkinses' and help Tad Wilkins get This hoss outa the barn fore his paw Sketches him.
 All this to happen at a. m. on a Sat turday morning.
 At a. m. with the old white hoss hitting on all four, and the blackboard swaying. the eight of us, not including Genie Blisser, enter the Jones Acres place and park by the brookside.
 Soon the bombardment gets under way-sticks, stones, clubs, all sailing their way to the branches. All that goes up must come down and-well Genie couldn't prove that Joe slung the stick that his his head. But he bawled abor- it and that's why Joe held him dowr while we smeared his face with tho brown juice of walnut hulls. Woni come off, either. for three weeks.
