New Zealand Pageant Lesson.

The pageant has apparently taken
its place in the educational methods
Of New Zealand, judging by the sue
cessful enactment of the battle of
Oraku on the very ground where Rewi
Maniapoto hurled his defiance at the
Pakeha, or white men; IA whaN hal
tonu matoui! eve will fight on for ever
and ever.)
Dressed to represent the Maori
tribesmen, school children from TIE
Awamutu bravely defended the native
Pa, until the white troops, also young
New Zealanders, drove them away in
rout. Before the charging troops
could reach the spot where their fire
had mown down the "Maoris," the
latter introduced an unrehearsed effect
by jumping to their feet and fleeing
after their>comrades... 49,.

Prompt Delivery.

George l.. Loft, son of the candy magnate and former congressman. created sensation on the stock ex- change recently. when he sold suit of clothes off his back for $30 and made spot delivery. The young bro ker breezed onto the floor of the ex- change early in the session, wearing a brand-new Palm Beach suit. It was so conspicuous some of his colleagues roughed him a bit and In the fraeas the coat was torn slightly. Thereupon Loft yelled out for bid for the out At, just as If he were selling 100 shares of Loft Inc. A broker in the crowd snapped back bid of $50 and demanded instantaneous delivery. Loft was game. He peeled off his coat and then shed his trousers and departed for the Luncheon club attired In his B. V. Ds. He was able toresume busi- ness later through the discovery of an old suit of clothes in a locker-New York Tribune.

 Mrs. Bowser went upstairs, laughing to herself all the way, and MT. Bow ser sought the library. He opened a fresh bottle of ink and got down about POO sheets of paper
 At midnight, not having heard from him, Mrs. Bowser softly descended the stairs, and softly opened the library door. Mir. Bowser sat in the chair asleep. He had simply written:

The weather is a singularly unfor- tunate institution. When 1t Is bad 1t is freely abused when if is good 1t becomes an object for profound sus- picion. A wet day is an abomination; a fine one is an incipient drought. Three fine days In succession are enough to bring into blossom little paragraphs announcing that some body's water supply will shortly have to be curtailed. and a week of them sees the farmers of Blankshire elo- guently face to face with approaching ruin.

Mrs. Bowser!"
 It was Mir. Bowser who spoke, and in such deep, bass voice as made the piano tremble on it's legs
 Mrs. Bowser looked up inquiringly.
 "A great mystery hangs over this house. That mystery is also full or deception. l want Ii solved, right away. I want to know what has been going on in my own house."
 "State your case" replied Mrs. Bow ser, but in tones that showed she was somewhat frightened.
 You ran in to see Mrs. Green few minutes last evening. While you were absent | picked up magazine off the piano. l am not much of reader or such things, as you know. because their contents are mostly gush. l Just wanted to look at the pictures to while away the time. On opening a maga- zine found letter. It had been opened. It was addressed to Miss Jean Carew,' at our street and number, and pulling forth the letter. 1 found 1t was from the editor of the magazine. He had accepted story and sent a check for $30 fin payment. Do you know any young lady named Jean Carew?'
 "Why-why, was going to tell you ali about It," said Mrs. Bowser. 'The editor of the magazine said he wanted stories. I thought that I could write one to suit him, and so l sat down and dashed off one I did not wish to send my own name as authoress, and so l took Jean Carew. You see, he &C., cepted my story and sent me check, and was going to ask you to get 1t cashed for me. Is there any great mys- tery about thatf'
 Mrs. Bowser, let us look Into this thing. In the first place, you wrote this story without saying anything to me about it. In the next place, you took another persons name, and there by deceived the editor and the public. Tn the next place, I have read your story, and 1t Is the most nonsensical thing ever read. It is all mush and gush. The editor must have gone crazy to accept such story. You have swindled him out of $50 and you should send the check right back v

Mrs Green and two other ladies read 1t and 1t brought tears to their eyes"
 "Bosh-nonsepse A woman would shed tears over most anything. Your story had hundred faults. There is no plot and no strength. You did as well as you could, but am not going to haee 1t known that the wife of Samuel Bowser Is writing such gush for publication. It shows a weak brain, on your part, and laxity on mine.

Lucky Phitadeiphlan.

AS the lucklest man, honors go to Nicholas Murphy of Philadelphia. Murphy walked Into moving train between Boothwyn and Ogden streets, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The locomotive cylinder tapped him upon the shoulder and Murphy de- scribed loop, alightlng on his feet. Then he sank to the ground. When a foreman of gang of laborers rushed to where he was, Murphy sprang to his feet and ran away, thinking hs would be arrested for trespassing up- on the railroad. He had escaped in jury, and the worst damage done was to the temper of the conductor of the flyer, which was delayed ten minutes.

Cara of Peoniea

If you want big crop of peonies next spring, prepare for 1t right now. These plants are heavy feeders, but they don't like fresh manure. Prob ably the best fertilizer to use. Is bone meal. A handful is none too much for each large plant and should be workel lightly into the soil around the roots. Unless 1t happens to be a wet season, peonies are benefited greatly by mulch of straw or grass clippings, and this mulch should be several inches deep. It will keep the ground cool and moist without the necessity of forking 1t over. Don't try to divide your peonies now. Sep tember is the one month for doing this work.

FISH STEW EXCELLENT DISH
Home Demonstration Agents of ths Department of Agriculture Rec
 ommend 1t Highly,

The 'pine bark fish stew" which is being marketed by the canning clubs Ill the southern states along the At lantic and gulf coasts, should be oi interest to housewives, says the New York Times. The development of combination foods peculiar to certain localities has been particularly fos' tered by extension agents of the Unl- ted States Department of Agricul- ture and the state agricultural col leges which carry on boys and girls club work. Almost every country in the world and practically every dis trict in the United States, has spe- cial "one-piece" dish made of the prod uets in that region. The gumbo of the far South, the New England boiled dinner, the bouillabaisse of Marseilles reproduced in New Orleans. Hun garian goulash. Chinese chop suey, h. dian curry, Irish stew, French ragout, are instances of this tendency to blend fiavors in one dish.
 Pine bark fish stew is character istie dish in South Carolina. Very probably 1t was introduced by settlers from the southern part of France and from Italy. Italians living in south ern California serve similar fish stew. The home demonstration agents, seeking q popular and somewhat novel product which would not be in com- petition with commercial canned goods, decided to have the clubs make a speciality of canning pine bark fish stew.
 Onion, tomatoes, celery, pimento and fish are the ingredients. which are cooked slowly in vegetable oil and poured over southern style" rice. At large out-of-doors gatherings and com- munity lunches this Is served on pieces of pine bark, giving the dish its name. In Florida, Georgia and all the gulf states various local fish are adapted to the combination

 "Why don't I? I am going to write one. in the next two hours, and the check for 1t will be at least 5000. There will be strength and vitality all through it, and It will all be true to human nature.

Instead of open ing department store or going into the ice business, she pays visit to the poorhouse. There she meets an old grandma, whose only son sent her there, to be eff his hands. Your heroine's heart is touched. She takes the old lady out and puts her In the cottage. and tells her that for the rest of her life she need do nothing but sit in rocking chair and eat fried eggs three times day"
 And what is your plot?'
 "Why. a girl, in digging ditch. finds il box of gold. She has heard that the Pawnee tribe Of Indians are without a preacher. They have no Thursday night prayer meetings. They are sim ply sloshing around. She buys a thou sand dollars worth of Bibles and hymn

Doubles shooting Is gaining great popularity among trapshooters of this country. By doubles shooting Is meant the release of two targets at the same time, one to the left and the other to the right The shooter then tries to break both of them before they fall to the ground, firing one load at each target. This is a real test of shooting ability. and for this reason it Is gaining in popularity. No one seeks a real test of his ability more than a trapShot.

books, and she hires a team aud quarters of the Pawnee tribe. The chief of the tribe Is a gentleman named Kicking Horse" He is willing to accept the Bibles and hymn books, but he is also willing to accept the fair hand of our heroine. He makes this known to her. He cannot have her hand. It is promised to a pawn brokers assistant in Boston. and she is girl who never goes back on her word. Old Kicking Horse gets mad, and he gives her an hour to think it over. In the morning, if she does not marry him, he will roast her a beautiful brown at the stake. Isn't that mighty good plot, so far?"
 Its very thrilling" answered Mrs. Bowser, but go on."
 When night comes," continued MT. Bowser, "Old K. H. goes to the maid en's tent and demands that she either roast or marry. If you were writing this story, you would have about barrel of tears at this point. and your poor maiden would faint away and remain unconscious for about three weeks. See how do it. Quicker than lightning she draws two automatics from her pocket and points them at the naked breast of old K. H. and, In tones which cannot be mis- taken for love tones, she says:
