EVERYDAY FOODS.

A NICE way to cook pork chops ] A for a busy day is to place them iovsr pan of thinly sliced potatoes, seasoning we'll with salt and pepper, bake until the chops are well done, and serve from the baking dish. The .nnoastura- in the potatoes and the fat fin the pork will be sufficient to make lthe dish of the right consistency. Even a small family may enjoy a dish of sauerkraut by covering a quart of kraut with q slice of nice pork steak; usually there is very lit
 tie salt needed; bake until the steak iand kraut are well cooked. Long, slow
 cooking of at least three hours makes "a fine well seasoned dish Another way of cooking kraut is to roll nice
 spare rib around 1t and bake long and
 slowly, adding salt if needed, and
 pepper to taste.

THE WOODS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
BACK ON THE JOB.

THIS Is the time of the bust-up, ! This Is the end of the trail; Though your icin' you do, Still the ground will come through An your icin an cussin will fail, The caves are a-drippin' at midnight An out of the south comes a sob 1; You kin talk about loss All you like, Mister Boss,
 But Spring has got back on the job. You kin rave all you like of the timber Thet lays in the woods at the stump, You kin swear you will haul Evry stick of 1t all
 To the road an the bank an the
 dump, But she's got all creation ag'in you, The sun an the wind an all that, An she'll bust ev'ry road An she'll stand ev'ry load
 An your timber will stay where
 it's at. You ought to know somethln' of You've seen her both single an wed; You know you cant stir Any notion in her
 When once 1t gits into her head. But, of all If the contrary women, Miss Spring is the worst of the lot When you want her to freeze She will thaw, if you please, An she'll freeze when you're wantin'
 1t hot. No use to dispute with a heifer Er argue q case with a skirt; If Spring wants to thaw, Neither reason ner law
 Win keep her from doin' you dirt. It's will CT it's won't with 6 woman- She says when she won't CT she will. You kin talk till you're black In the face but the shack
 Will be bossed by the petticoats still. We think we're her lord an her
 master,
 She swears she will love an obey, We think we're the head Of the house, as she said
 We would be when we bore her
 away. But month or so after the weddin', When honeymoon season Is flown, She quits sayin' dear An she gifts on her ear
 An she kicks us plumb off of the
 throne. It's likewise up here in the timber; We think We are runnin' the thing; We're falling the trees An we're maxim 1t freeze
 But all of sudden it's Spring. Then it's mix up a walk fer the
 swampers
 An can the whole mackinaw mob :; No use fer the boss Er the crew CT the hOss- Miss Spring has got back on the job.

JACKSON'S HURLING
 DEFEATS ATKINS 30

Playing alright baseball the Con- way high school team yesterday after noon defeated Atkins high school nine 3 to 0 on Russell field here. Jackson pitching for the local team, was in- vincible, while the Conway boys touch ed the opposing pitcher for several nice hits. Only one Atkins player reached third base in the nine in- nings.
 The fact that the Conway boys de- feated the league leaders, indicates that Coach Moore is developing team that will be near the top when the season closes. The two teams will play again this afternoon. Reynolds prob bly, will be Coach Moore's choice for hurling duties this afternoon.

PHRENOLOGY CALLED A FAKE
Neither Bumps" Nor Features, It fs
 Now Asserted, Can Indicate i Character of Man.

There has recently been a marked revival Of the 'phrenology" humbug, and charlatans are coinlng money by examining peoples bumps" and draw Ing herefrom analytical conclusions in regard to their talents and traits of character, remarks a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Ihe clevereSt fakers in this line spe- cialize in the alleged study of pysl- ognomy as indicative of psychic traits, etc This sort of thing goes" wonder fully well, inasmuch as the average person is much interested in his own race and in what it may be supposed to express
 Physical anthropologists, however, are firm in asserting that there is nothing whatever in the idea. There IS no essential relation between the features of human individual and his character-beyond, of course. the fact that disposition and temperament may ana commonly do so modify the mus cuiar structure, especially about the mouth, as to render the expression in- uicatlve. Thus, for example, sour temper or crafty habit of mind will snow itself in a persons face more ana more as he grows older.
 A prominent chin does not necessar- fly signify frmnesS of character nor when exaggerated. does if mean bru tallty. Story writers nowadays teach us that eyes set "too close together" indicate slyness and meanneSS. There IS no more truth in that idea than in the notion that liz nose suggests generosity.
 Where beauty of feature is con cerned one might say that it depends fundamentally upon the shape of the skull mask. woman's skull is more lightly constructed than that of a man. and even the texture of It's bones is more delicate.

The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XVI.-TENNESSEE ~~ THE history
 $ $ ; ; < < ; Z@MISM ! of Tennes- @A& 6%SM see stretches REHkYc6YETx4E back to the A M H| year 1541 N = Z& when De Soto WSSaascW with his par &1z&A ty of Spanish adventurers probably reached the present site of Memphis on
 the Mississippi. The French
 under La Sale built fort here
 about 1882. The English also
 laid claim to this territory, in.
 cluding it in the grant to North
 Carolina. It was not until ITO
 that the first permanent settle
 ment was made by James Rob-
 ertson and this was soon fol-
 lowed by many other settlers
 from North Carolina. They
 formed what they called the
 Washington district, but this
 was short lived as 1t was
 promptly annexed to North
 Carolina. In 1784 the inhabi-
 tants, indignant over North Car
 olina's attitude toward them,
 declared their independence and
 formed the State of Franklin
 or Frankland. AS this seces-
 sion was not countenanced by
 North Carolina, for a number
 of years a state of confusion
 existed with two sets of officers
 trying to govern. Meanwhile
 the settlement suffered severely
 from hostile Indians and from
 the Spanish, who still held Lou
 isiana, and controlled the Mis-
 sisSippi river. In 1790 North Carolina finally ceded this ter
 ritory to the United States. By 1796 the population had in- creased to over 60,00O, so Ten nessee was admitted as the six teenth state of the Union.
 At the outbreak of the Civil war, Tennessee joined the Con- federacy. In 1866, when the state was readmitted to the Un- ion, there was much disorder during the reconstruction period. This led to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, the influence of which quickly spread through i out the Southern states, This secret organization took into . Its own hands the suppress sion of crime and the admin istration of justice.
 Tennessee contains 42,022 square miles, and is sometimes called the Volunteer state. It . is named after its principal riv- . CT. which is a Cherokee word . meaning Crooked River" or : "bend in the river"
