MORE PICKLE RECIPES.

Tobasco Sauce: -Four dozen red to-
bnsoo or Chile peppers, about ~ cup
Of spiced vinegar and ! Glove Of gar
lie. Boil the finely-chopped garlic
and the peppers until tender, merely
sIicing them through several times,
then rub all through a sieve. To this
paste add enough spiced vinegar to
give IL a creamy consistency. Then
pour into hot sterilized bottles and
seal alright by FIRST corking, then
dipping the neck Of the bottle into hot
melted paraaIne wax. An onion may
be substituted for the garlic ~ pre-
ferred. To spice the vinegar simply
add TO y gallon oft " cup Of grated
horseradish, u tablespoons of celery
seed crushed. 1 cup of granulated
sugar. ~ tablespoons mustard seed.
| tablespoon salt and / tablespoon Gin
namon (cloves, nutmeg and grated
onion may also be added II likedl.
Let this spiced vinegar boil up several
minutes and 1t is then ready to use
as above directed.
Picked Onions: Wash small white
onions and pour hot water over them,
allowing them 20 stand for a minute
or two; then drain. and remove skins.
Now soak them overnight in a brine
made by combining 2 quarts of boil
ing water andf1k cups of salt (put
the onions into IL while IL is hot).
In the morning drain the onions, boil
them In clear, hot water for five
minutes until tender (but do not boil
till too teader), and place them in
fairly dry jars (Which, however, are
hot from having been recently steril-
ized) and pour over them boiling-ho
Yinsgar If spiced vinegar is desired,
boil the following spices a few min
utes with the vinegar; 10 each gallon
Of vinegar allow X ounce each of ALL
spices, pepper-corns. mace, and mus
tard seeds tied securely in a little bag.
But II the whiteness that is so ap-
patizing in picked onions is to be
retained, the spices must be omitted.
sliced red peppers may, however, be
distributed between the onions in the
Jars. before pouring the hot vinegar
over them.
Sweet Picked Watermelon Rind:
Ten pounds watermelon rind, / quart
Of vinegar. 4 cups granulated sugar,
" ounce whole cloves, II ounce stick
cinnamon. Cut the rind in small
pieces, peel and take care to remove
all the red part. Cover these pieces

as this boils away. Then lift out the
pieces, drain them wei, and place
them in q china bowl with a cover
Boil the vinegar for 10 minutes with
fha et1par and epices3 then pour II
also in the bowl, over the watermelon
pieces. For three days repeat this
process Of boiling up the vinegar and

wish to lead you where you will have
to pay for my life with your own, and
that | am trying to gain time; but. at
the same time, there is the chance that
| intend to keep my word, that intend
to present the Sieur dc la Tournoire un-
armed, and q league away from all his
men but one. Is not that chance worth
the risk? Have you not gambled, mon
|sieur?"
From the shrug of De Berquin's s
shoulders, knew that he had gambled,
and also that my argument had moved
him. But another doubt darkened his
face.
sAnd if you do bring an unarmed per
son before me, how shall ] know that
it is La Tournoire?" said he.
''He shall tell YOU so himself"
Excellent proofl'
"What man but La Tournoire would
risk his life by declaring himself TO be
that prescribed gentlemanY"
''One of his followers might do so, il
he thought that he might so throw an
enemy Qff La Tounoire's track"
Then the possibility of my deceiving
YOU on that point is but an additional
risk YOU run, in return for the chance
OF your bagging the real game. Besides,
truly perform all that i promise"
THE word of a lackeyp said De Ber-
quin, derisively.
Have you not yourself described me
as an exceptional lackey?"
well, love to take chances. And
as YOU have given me your word, the
word of an &c ,ptional lackey, | give
YOU my word, tne word of g gentleman,
that if YOU set Ia Totirnoire unarmed
before me, with but one OF his men at
hand, | will give you your life and free
dom. But stayl At what time am | TO
have the pleasure of meeting him?"
when we hear the stroke of eight
from the tower of the church in Clo-
chonne. The wind this evening is from
that direction. 1t is agreed, then2"
Agreed said DE Berquiu. Jacques,
give me your dagger. Now, Master
Lackey, lead the way. Follow, you
rascals, and be ready to knock down any
person to whom / shall direct your
attention"
And turned and led the way to the
road, followed closely by De Berquin,
who held his sword in one hand and the
dagger in the other. heard the others
fall in line, and tramp their way through
the brush behind him. Barbemouche
must have been exceedingly surprised
at his leaders proceedings, for the con-
versatiou between De Berquin and my
self had been conducted In a tone too
low for their ears.
When we reached the road, De Ber-
quin ordered halt. He then com
manded Barbemouche to walk at my
left side, and Francois TO walk at my
right. De Berquin retained his place
behind me, and the other two rascals
followed him. In this order we proceeded
towards the inn.
To be continued.

he preferred. He gets married. and
the very first thing his wife does Is
to take his latch key away from him.
and to put him through a third de-
gree about where he has been and
what he has done, and whom he has
seen every time he comes home.
She sits in Judgment on his food
and tells him how bad everything he
likes is for his stomach. She turns
his old friends out of the house and
installs new ones. She buys his neck
ties and makes him wear his hair the
way she thinks is becoming, and he
finds that he has just as much liberty
as Fido has when his mistress takes
him out on the end of a leash.
A girl gets married. She, also. has
been free to follow her own inclina-
tions. Perhaps she has been busi-
ness girl. She has had her own pock-
etbook. She has gone TO the places
of amusement she fancied. She has
been esteemed of sufficient intelli-
gence TO join such clubs as appealed
to her, and to generally order her own
life along the lines she desired.
But she finds that husband thinks
that home is a combination harem
and work house. She must beg his
permission TO go TO places. She must
ask for what money she needs. She
can't have any innocent friendships
with other men. She can't even go
to the movies if he augustly disap-
proves.
Is it any wonder that these two
people rebel against the intolerable

Is it strange that they come TO hate

Look at the widows and widowers
about you How often they are almost
ipdecently reconoiled to their loss. II
IS because, for the first time in fifteen
or twenty years, they are enjoying
the privilege of doing a single thing

There ds nothing more curious than
this: That the one boon in life that
each OF us Graves above all other bless
ings is personal liberty. yet the one
thing that we are most loan to ac-
cord TO others is this same personal
liberty that we desire so ardently for
ourselves.
Riches, success, love. they are dust
and ashes in our teeth without free
dom. What is money worth if we can
not spend it as we individually choose
TO crafty our individual whims and
taste? What a mockery the plaudits
of the world if some tyrant behind
the scenes is crushing all the JOY out
of existence for u.s. What sweetness
is there in love that binds US hand
snd foot with a thousand silken fet-
ters?
We all know this. We have all felt
this in a bitterness of soul beyond
speech. We know that no slave, how
ever pampered, Fis happy, and that
when we rob those about us of their
personal liberty that there is no ade-
quate atonement that we can make
TO them for their loss, but our desire

Wasting the lives of even our best be-
loved. We will give them anything
but freedom We will make any sacri-
flee for them except the sacrifice of
letting them do their own way, in
stead of making them do ours.
This is the real fly in the ointment
OF matrimony. This is the secret of
the increase in divorce. This is what S
the matter with domesticity generally
this is the answer TO the conundrum
OF why children leave home, and why
brothers and sisters so often fly to
the uttermost ends OF the earth TO
get as far from each other as pos
s;ble.
When the average man and woman
get married they are in love with each
other, and they go into matrimony in
good faith, intending TO try TO make 9
"go" of il, and establish a happy home
One out of twelve of these marriages
ends in the divorce court, and most
Of the remainder degenerate into an
endurance contest. Very few are
successful from the point of view OF
bringing any well being and content
ment to either husband or wife.
Yet the man and the woman are
fine, upright, honorable, intelli-
gent people. Nobody can explain Why
they couldn't get along together, noI
why their love perished so soon
II is because neither one was will
ing to accord the other any personal
liberty, and Cupid simply turns up his
toes and dies in the air of a Jail
And the prison atmosphere is par
ticularly fatal in these days when the
breath of liberty is the very breath oi

had rather be dead than alive.

NOTEBOOK
THE WIND.
By Lee Pape.

Wind is air going some place. II
is one of the principle parts of the
weather.
Wen air is standing still people jest
breeth il without even thinking about
it. but as soon as it moves erround a
little everybody starts to notice it.
Proving If you stay in one pace people
forget you are there.
A little air is a breeze, good deel
is a gale and the most there is is a
syclone. People who take their hat
off in a breeze and think they're CRATE
are the ferst ones 10 get mad wen a
syclone takes it off. This proves its
hard TO please the same people all the
time.
Wind going in one window, and
out another makes a draft and is
one of the best things 20 catch a
cold in. The ferst thing you do wen
you sneeze is look erround for a draft
and if you don't see one you injoy
your next sneezes mutch more. The
that don't say the last part Of a
sneeze has TO be cold. on account
0. there being more sneezes than
colds.
In summer wen the wind blows in
peoples houses they brag about il,
but in winter wen it blows in they are
ashamed of IT, This proves there is
time for everything.
One OF the funniest things the wind
does is blow off other peoples hats
and one of the werst things il does is
blow off yours. Proving we don't re-
alize we are always somebody elts
to others.
The wind is a CRATE help to bal
loon if its going the same way but on
the contrary if its not.
The 4 cheef winds are north. east
$ outh and west, and this prevents eny
from blowing either strate down or
strate up.
