Suggestions.

If the boned and boiled ham is pur-
chased, boil or bake it just enough to
heat it through. This saves. both time
and money, since it does not take near
as much ham. Eight pounds will be
enough for so people.
Use two cups ground coffee to every
gallon of water. If the coffee is to be
served during the meal instead of at
the end, allow little more, about
one and onefourth pounds to so people
The whipping cream will more than
double its bulk if beaten with whisk
beater instead of the ordinary egg
beater or the regular cream whip.
In making the cocoa, allow one and
one-half quarts water to eight quarts
Of milk.
The rule for sandwiches allows
enough filling for so medium size sand
wiches.
When making punch always pour
boiling water over the lemon and
orange rinds, allow to stand, pour off
the water and use to dilute the punch
This improves the flavor and makes
the fruit go much further.
When serving, always use a ladle
that is large enough to dip up a whole
serving at one dip. Otherwise. you
will waste both time and food

Walke Abynans With Sword and Knife Settle Fate of Thro

TITO me 1t seemed like a dream. the
| L vision of an animated tapestry Of
Bayeaux, showing the vaior Of a
chivairous nation sweeping by in
every rich and royal color. with a
background of Nile-green hills under
a blue and downy sky.
More impressive still was the sight
| of the prisoners. Like the burghers
OF Calais, gowned in black, with
| chains about their wrists and necks,
! and bearing stones upon their shoui-
derss these illustrious chieftains OF
yesterday passed by humbly on foot
with bowed heads. There were only
| a few, for beyond the Mediterranean
and the Caucasus prisoners are an UNI
necessary nuisance, unless they be
! worthy OF ransom; though must
affirm that on this occasion a striking
leniency had been shown, the bulk OF
the prisoners being sent back to their
homes unmolested.
Last of all came the Negus himself.
The escort spread away before him,
and there in the open space was dis
closed the dread Abou Tekelei,
Father Of Roll-Them-Up," the Negus

white about his nead, and chained
by the wrist to lesser ras of Harrar,
he came forward. limping slightly, to
the very edge of the tent There were

It not for the cold vigilance OF
Baltcha, the power behind the throne.
Approaching the throne. he cast
swift. comprehensive glance from un-

who supported it-kindred. brothers
in arms, rases who had stood with
him at the bedside OF Menelik and
pledged their honor to uphold the old
emperor's choice ;. the wandering
Lidj Yassou. Then he sank on his
knee before the empress. sister Of his
wife. A gesture, a nod, look OF
compassion from her, might have
meant the salvation of his family.
She averted her eyes. Rising slowly
to his feet, the fallen Negus turned
about, glanced absently here and

the torrent Of warriors that poured
westward.
It was almost o'clock. We had

Big Bertha's Range
Doubted by Daudet

for our nerves, the Gotha nightbirds
did not begin. Next day the mys-
FERROUS firing began again-but the
swath was different as If new range
had been taken. And the destruction
and death and manning went on. The
only kindly element of the situation
was when American doughboys
marched out and set up their guns
around the green in front of our
suburb church.
Wen take care Of YOU" they said
, and all the children laughed.
n
a FTER that we had to find out
"A every morning the part OF Paris
where the Big Bertha. as 1t was
soon called, was making her swath
for the day. Then we knew Just how
far we could safely circulate. On
Good Friday she sent a shell on the
Church Of Saint Gervais, bringing
down the stone vault and killing
| more than sixty worshipers, among
! whom were three American ladies,
who had been working in the Ameri-
can ambulance hospital of our suburb,
| and more than zoe were grievously
| wounded. Ever since we have be-
lieyed that the firing was from long
distance big guns.
The French war Office, in answer to
Leon Daudet. now confirms us in our
| belief
There is no mystery about the Big
| Berthas." It says. american officers
xyho
were being made In the Koda works
| in Austria in 1919. These officers gave
US exact details of them, and these
have been verified, for we have in our
hands the German plans Of them. They
] were marine guns which regularly
would have a barrel twenty yards long,
, but this had been heightened to thirty
or forty yards-and their power was
not due to electricity, but to very thick
powder. And we have numerous and i'm
portant fragments of the shells they
fired"
The French have also a German doc
ument showing that they learned their
aim. on Paris was good from the off,

Bearded old warriors with flashing
eyes danced madly before the assem-
bled court, all consciousness Of them
selves lost In a passion of enthusiasm.
Younger men, aspiring. to high
favor, rushed almost to the foot OF
the throne, hoping that the empress
would be impressed by their prowess

then sbrought their mounts back on
their launches, plunging and shy
ing amid q tangle of aacouterments
and trophies.
Standing before the pavilion were
two men in white robes. These were
the guardians OF the steps to the
throne. Armed with thin STATS and
nothing more, they checked the wild
impetuosity OF warriors and kept the
torrent of horsemen within bounds.
Cold and unf1inching, they budged
not hairs breadth in the face Of
charges that might well have broken
a British square. On their face were
stern frowns of concentration; and
S<NSOPk ~ Wy SHARPLY, sup, UT
Pass on" they seldom spoke.
Nothing escaped them. A ras, over
estimating his own dignity and seek
Ing to join the chieftains assembling
within the pavilion, was ordered
away by them as peremptorily as a
presumptuous hostler, while some un-
pretentious old man would be given
a place Of honor. They knew every
body and understood the finest shades
of court precedence; yet there was
an ease, a graceful simplicity in their
manner that disarmed any suspicion
Of arrogance.
Only once did they give way for
any advancing dignitary, and this
was when the Abouna Petrus, the
Coptic pontif elevated by the Negus
Mikael, came before tho throne as a
prisoner.
Pale. weary and anxious. his cream
colored skin and silky white beard
made him conspicuous among the
dusky Abyssinians. He wore a robe
of black, and came on a led mule to
the front of the pavilion, where he
dismounted slowly and heavily and
advanced toward the dais with God
only knows what doubts and mis-
giyings.
The multitude strained forward TO
witness the reception. He was a
great prelate. Would the throne dare
to consider him a traitor? And, IL so,
what fate awaited him? But the
Abouna Petrus. lifting his eyes. saw
that he was looked upon graciously
by the pious and forgiving empress
and the prelates came forward and
embraced him, and escorted him to
a place Of honor opposite the pavilion.

PARIS. May s.
VERYBODY knows, or thinks
* he knows. that long-distance
German guns called big
Berthas," fired on Paris from
eighty to sixty miles away between
the 2sd Of March and 9Th Of August
in 1918, the last year OF the war. We
who were in Paris at the time, under
range of the firing and saw the raw
ages it worked, have never dreamed
of doubling 1t.
Leon Daudet, who may be absurd
| as a royalist agitator. but who Is no
| fool, now comes forward to say:
| You have never found any of the
big cannon nor any mechanism that
could enable them to fire any such
distance. For my part. I believe 1t
| was an electric gun, which had an
| invention by which it could fire with
out noise, and that the Germans
found means to set it up somewhere
near Paris, and from there fired on
the city without being discovered"
BY the way. the mechanism of this
other invention, supposed by Daudet
| to have existed, has also never been
| found-but I remember that 1t was
one Of the explanations surmised on
the first dreadful day OF the unex-
plainable firing. We were already
worn out with night raids Of the
Gotha airplanes, sometimes Ave
nights in one week and even twice in
the same night. Every one had come
UP from the cellar shelters and I was
going for the morning papers in the

o'clock.

all through the day. Parisians, with
their four years experience, of air
bombardment, had never had any

went back to the cellars, and soon
the men, by telephone or cautious
scouting, learned that each thud

very effective and almost solid shell
on some point Of Paris. After time.

Travelling Grabs.

THE edible sea crab, which often
travels long distances, seems to
have well-defned sense OF direc-
ton. According to a report of the
English fisheries commission, nearly
1000 crabs were not long ago marked
and set free at different distances
from the shore along the coasts of
Norfolk and Lincolnshire. Rewards
were offered for finding these crabs,
and at last reports about one-flfth
of them had been returned to the
commission. It was found that one
crab had travelled ninety-eight miles,
several crabs had gone between four
and fifty miles. three hundred had
travelled only three or four miles, and
fifty-two were found within a mile

NIFTY thousand men or more must
i have passed before us. That
number comes within my reckoning.
And all these men were warriors Of
the first class, though they repre-
scented but a small proportion Of the
nations resources; and every one had
fought hand to hand in battle.
Full in the van came Fitaorari Apte
Guirgious, the greatest of the rases.
A quarter of an hour before his con-
drums heralded his approach. There
! were more than thirty of them, with
the drummers mounted on mules, and
it was hard to say when the vibra-
lions first reached the ear for they
grew from a. whisper to a pulsing
roar without any apparent transition.
The sound stirred the blood, and set
the nerves to tingling until 1t was
almost impossible not to leap in the
air and shout
Before the drummers strobe other
musicians, who blew on long horns
that blared like Manchu trumpets.
The uproar seemed to fill the air with
the high tension that comes before

preston there suddenly appeared, a
singing woman, shouting random
snatches of warlike songs and SOL
diers ballads.
The Fitaorari conducted himself
with restraint The solemn dignity
of a very great chief rested upon
him, and he advanced slowly. his ex-
cited horse stepping daintily and
chafing at the bit, as he faced the
pavilion. Instead of the popular
lions name, the minister of war had
over his shoulders cloak of otter
skins, while rising from the chaplet
that bound his head was a soft os-
trich plume, the rare Walio badge of
royalty.
Following the Fitaorari came old
Ras Demissie, looking, with his broad
white beard upon his chest and green
parasol over his head, for all the
world like a distinguished prelate.
His robes were as resplendent as an
archbishop's and instead of indulging
In the fantasia of youths, he merely
bowed with solemn gravity. Yet this
was the man who had supported the
right flank, helped to beat off the
furious onslaught of Ras Omar and
carried the central hill.

young. who had just succeeded to the
honors of his father. Riding his
horse almost into the empress pa
yilion, he cried out:
My men are scattered, and the
strength Of my father is gone; but
as for me. o daughter of MeneIik,
my empress, pledge my arm and my
honor to you"
THUS the rases made obeisance, and
i pledged their loyalty; but they
were merely the leaders of wave after
wave of loyal warriors-warriors on
foot, on mule, on horseback. These
masses of men charged furiously
upon the pavilion, clashing their
arms, shouting, screaming, twirling
| scfmitars about their heads, BRAN
dishing their rifles. In the heat Of
their excitement they pantomimed the
events of the battle and the heroic
tdeeds they performed

unimpressionable to realities such a
spectacle is nothing more than spec
tacle-a circus parade, worth so much
a head. But 1t was infinitely more.
The earnestness, the abandon, the
nervous frenzy which seemed to agi-
tate these warriors as they shouted
of their deeds. then sank in calm
obeisance before their monarch,
seemed to me to hold all the sig
