slowly through the woods, still gaz-
reached the pond where the Wib-
blewobble duck children often
swan.
There, stretched across the water
like strip of silver carpet laid for
the fairies to walk on, the bunny
saw the moon path. This. as you
know, is made of woven moon
beams that lie trembling on the
water rolling softly with each rip
pie. The path looked almost firm
enough to walk on and Uncle Wig
gily was just about to try 1t when
he heard a soft croak beside hiEi.
and, looking down, he saw Bawly

"Singing!" exclaimed Uncle wig
gily, as Bawly started croaking.
"Do you call that singing?"
why, surely. But I'm rather
hoarse tonight, and my voice isn't
as sweet as usual. But what are you
here for?"
II was just going to walk on the
moon path, Bawly."

thing / hoped along when / did"
croaked Bawly. Don't you know
that path is only a shadow reflec-
ton and If you stepped on 1t you'd
get all wet?'

ed the rabbit. II was only joking.

He led the rabbit gentleman

slide back and forth. Then the frog

ION the roof of the shed by means
of ladder. Once there, Bawly
made a loop in one end of the
clothesline and threw it, like a las

EXPIRED HATRED.

Our hatred of the Germans, a
few brief months ago, inspired our
songs and sermons, filled every tale
of woe; but now we all are jump
ing to keep our rolls from slump
ing; we are so busy humping the
hatred has to go. We used to hate
the kaiser, the author of all crime;
but now il we're not wiser, at least
we have less time; we have to WELD
our axes while yet the summer
wakes, to pay our. income taxes,
when comes the winter rime. I'm
glad that angry passion forsakes
the human breast, that we in kind
ly fashion, can let old spectres
rest, that we grow tired of hating
and keeping teeth a-grating; the
rows of beans are waiting for hoes,

SOME COOLING FRUIT DRINKS

"Pshaw!" 1 have heard house,
keepers eXclaim, Il can't waste my
time making fruit drinks. I've got
too many necessary things to do"
1 cannot agree with this view
point. l believe that refreshing,
unfermented beverages help one
to get through the dog days of
summer and are necessary. I
know that after strenuous exer-
ton on a hot day, glass of iced
lemonade always makes me feel
better. And / am sure that all
other housekeepers need this slight
brace between tasks. and cannot
fail to be benefited by keeping
something with a tart fruit tang"
to it, on ice, ready for instant use.
Try one of the following fruit
drinks:
Raspberry Vinegar for Cool
Drinks: Put quarts Of ripe rasp-
berries into large china bowl and
pour over them 2 cups of cider
vinegar; let this stand overnight
in a cool place, and in the morn
ing strain off the liquid and let
this liquid stand again overnight
with another quarts Of raspber-
ries in it (throwing away the rasp-
berries which stood in it before).
On the following morning strain
off the liquid (again throwing the
berries away and put the liquid
in a graniteware or agateware ket-
tie; bring to boil, let continue to
boil for minutes, then add to 1t
6 cups of granulated sugar and
turn into a bottle to stand, corked,
on ice. When you wish to make
cool drink simply put 2 table,
spoonsful of it into a glass of
ordinary water Cor into a glass of
vichy. settler or apollinaris wate)
and add cracked ice. This is an
unfermented drink, yet one with a
splendid brace to it.
Any other berries can be used
in the same way as the raspber-
ries called for in this recipe, ex-
cept that more sugar may be need

VERSE OF TODAY
THE GARDEN.

walk garden where Dense opuent bloom,
League upon league, invites the hayward breeze
To clothe its youth in choicest fragrancies.
Each moment breaking from their flowery gloom
Here every gentlest scent finds happy doom
OF selfhood loss in promiscuities
That blot out trace of hortulan rivalries,
AS they, reborn, sweep from vernal tomb
The song the gadness of unnumbered years
Here blend with equal store Of dirge and tears
In a rose-attar by gray Time expressed
An altar whose rare virtue we'll might give
Immortal perfume both to East and West
Yes, by one drop, make dead worlds burn to live!

ed In the case of those berries
which are not as sweet as rasp-
berries. Fresh, diced pineapple
may also be substituted for the
raspberries (use 1 whole pine
apple in place of the 4 quarts of
raspberries).
Mint Drink: Slice into a mixing
bowl 1-2 peeled cucumber (this
gives delicious flavor when COM

bruised springs of freshly picked
mint, sliced lemons Grind, pulp
and juice) and / cup of strained
juice from raspberries (Which

and l cup of granulated sugar to-
gether for minutes; let this syr-
up cool, and add it to the above
liquid, Dilute to the desired
strength with either clear water

Iced Gingerade for an Evening
Entertainment: (This "glngerade"
takes the place Of the punch bowl
at party, ana is served in tall
glasses with a straw in each
glass;. Put into large mixing
bowl the juice of lemons, cups
of sugar, 1-2 cup of raspberry
juice which has been extracted as
above described and then boil for
3 minutes with 1 cup Of granu-
lated sugar, and last add thinly-
sliced oranges Grind, pulp and

New York, Aug 9.-After a
modest rise the stock market to-
day eased off on selling of indus
trials, closing heavy, with irregu-
lar changes mostly of small con-
sequences,
Trading showed the lack of con-
viction on the part of speculative
community which has been char
acteristic recently. Although the
feeling in the street as to the gem
eral outlook has undergone dis
tinct Improvement in the last Jew
weeks, immediate prospects still
were regarded too obscure to JUS
tify heavy commitments.
Trading in consequence was
light. In one hour today sales
were limited to approximately 20,-
/ 900 shares. The days transact
tons were 100000 shares.
At the opening there was some
buying of rails which raised spec
ulations in various instances one
to two points. Reports of better
earnings and expectations OF an
agreement without great delay as
to payment of the sum due the
roads for the period of govern
ment control lent temporary
strength to these issues. In the
late trading the rails eased OH
with the remainder Of the list.
Selling on the decline centered IN
the oils. motors and equipments.
Foreign exchange reacted sharp
ly, after yesterdays violent up
turn. Sterling broke cents from
Yesterdays high level. wnlcn
seemed to confirm the assumption
that the rise was due to specula-
tive operations. Other exchange
rates declined In sympathy. Can
money remained at per cent.
The demand for bonds was. az
fected by continuance OF tlrm
money rates. Investment issues
as we'll as those of a speculative
character, lost ground. with selling
lin a wide variety of mortgages.

BARGE IS LOST
IN LAKE STORM
NO TRACE FOUND OF MIZTEc AND
CREW OF SIX MEN AND
ONE WOMAN.
OTHER BOATS NEARLY WRECKED
ZiIlah Barely Able to Make Shelter
at Whitefish Point; Story Of
Storm Told by Witness.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-The Barge
Miztec was lost in the storm which
swept Lake Superior last Saturday
morning. The Steamer Zillah, towing
the Miztec, was almost wreck her
self during the fearful storm.
No trace has yet found of the
Miztec and it is believed that all of
it's crew of six men and one woman
were lost. The name of the crew fol-
low:
Captain X. Peterson, Buffalo, Flor
ence Peterson, a cook; Mate Robert
Campbell, Tonawanda, N. Y; Seamen
Erick Johnson and Louis Florence, of
Bay City; John Drecker, of Titusville,
Pa, and an unknown sailor who ship
ped from Port Huron.
This is a fragment from the eye
witness story of the wreck as told
here by L. e. Harris, government
employee, on the arrival of the steam
er Zillah, of the Blodgett line, with
the Peshtigo in tow. Harris was on
board the Peshtigo. He was given
temporary leave of absence from his
duties at the locks to go to Munising
to scale a cargo Of lumber which the
Peshtigo was to take aboard.
THE Zillah came near being lost
as well as the Miztec," said Harris.
"She was barely able to make shelter
her boiler rooms knee deep in water
and firemen working under great diff
ficulties to keep the fires going.
when we were within less than
an hours run of safety behind White
fish point" said Harris, "the lights of
the Miztec suddenly vanished into the
sea; it appeared that she simply went
to pieces, our line to her was snapped
and we were adrift in the inky dark
ness and with the snow so dense that
there was no knowing our location"
Captain Campbell, whose brother
persisted on the Miztec, rugged up
sail and tried to head into the wind.
Our rudder was smashed, however,
and when it began to get bit light
we discovered breakers less than
quarter mile ahead. We let go two
anchors and rode there for more than
"a hours, just out Of reach of the
coast guards, who worked two boats
in vain efforts to reach us"
Nothing of the wreckage of the
Miztec was seen by the Peshtigo or
the Zillah. Sunday morning the Zillah
went out from behind Whitefish and
picked up the Peshtigo, bringing it
to the 500 for repairs to its rudder.
