 KaeAeAy eAnay

Raggedy Andy had been warned by MT. Skeezicks that he and the Knight would have to pass right by the Witchs and the Giants houses on their way to the Knights home.
 And the Knight did not care very much about passing the Witch's house. or the Giants cave for that matter. But Raggedy Andy was not even a teeny, weeny bit afraid and said, We will have the magical wooden sword carry us by their places so fast neither the Witch nor the Giant will see usi" So when the magical wooden sword had carried Raggedy Andy and the Knight through the woods until they were almost at the Wtch's house Rag gedy Andy stopped and said to the Knight, Now we must hold on to the wooden sword real hard so that we will not fall off, for it will carry us faster than ever until we pass the Witchs house. And we must not make any noise, or the Witch will hear us coming and will run out and stop us!'
 T will be just as quiet as mouse!" the Knight promised but his teeth ehattered together so hard it sounded just like some one tapping on piano keys with a stick. And when the magical wooden sword came near the Witch's house. the Knights legs shook so hard it made his armor rattle like dishpans and Raggedy Andy was afraid the noise would be heard by the Witch any moment. So Raggedy Andy stopped the magical wooden sword again and said to the Knight, Now, MT. Knight, unless you quit shaking and rattling your armor, I am sure the Witch will hear us, and then she will run out and catch us, sure popl"
 So the Knight promised that he would try to keep his legs from shaking and rattling his armor
 But the closer the magical Wooden sword carried them to the Witch's house the more the Knights legs shook until just as they were pass ing the Witch's front gate, the Knights legs shook so hard and his arms shook so hard he fell with a loud tinny crash. off of the mag ical wooden sword and rolled so hard against the Witch's gate post, he made a large dent in his breast plate.
 Of course Raggedy Andy would not leave the Knight lying there to be captured by the Witch, so he stopped his magic wooden sword and went back and lifted the Knight to his feet.
 And just as Raggedy Andy stood the Knight upon his feet the Witch's front door opened and out came the Witch, lickity split.
 "Ha, Hal He! Her' the Witch chuckled. You thought that you could slip by without me Knowing it! Didn't you?"
 We would have got by" Raggedy Andy told the Witch, If the Knight hadn't shook so hard he fell off the magical wooden swordi"
 And as the Knight shook so hard he could not walk, Raggedy Andy and the Witch had to carry him into the Witch's front room and put him on a couch,
 Now that you have captured us what are you going to do with us, Missus Witch%' Raggedy Andy asked. for he wasn't even speck afraid.
 'Ha! Ha! He! Hei" the Witch chuckled, That is a secret, and it will surprise you, I'll bet"

 (ActOr) EGGS BENEDICT

Take fine English mullins, split and toast them. Keep them hot while you butter around with the rest of this job. It isn't hard but 1t is bit fiddlin' if you know what I mean.
 Have some wonderful ham, quite lean. Slice the ham fairly thin but not too thin and cut it into pieces that just fit over and cover a round muffin. Saute the ham until it is nearing that golden brown perfection found when ham and" are served 100 per cent good. Now poach your eggs. Butter the hot muffin lightly. Work fast. Put into place the piping hot slice of ham that just fits the muffin. Place, with loving care, an egg, just from the poaching vessel, on the piping hot ham. Now cover the entire edifice with Hollandaise sauce-tip the top with one slice of mushroom or truffle (saute) and you have the perfect egg dish-bar none.

JOHN-A-DREAMS
HUsBAND,s MOTHER

I am glad Mrs. Paul c. of B. i has written me about her dreams regarding her husbands mother These are frequent visions, always intimate and often puzzling. I will first quote few sentences from the lady's letter, because it is interesting and indicates the many ramifications of such visions.
 .. I often dream of her, though I have not seen her in years, 1 as she lives in Kansas City (which is immaterial, so far as the interpre- tation goes, and would be the same If the two women met every day). The last lime, seemed to meet her in the street, and soon after my hus- band and I walked up to her house and he rang the bell and she came to meet us and she seemed to look very sad. But the other night I saw her crying. And, shortly before. she tried to hold me in such queer way and we had words, so that 1 became almost frightened
 Your dreams mean, though you may not care to admit it, that your husband has much reason to be vexed at some of your ways and that he has told your mother about these vagaries and sked her advice. He may not even have spoken to you about it-men are strange in such matters and rely more upon a moth CTS reasoning than upon a wife's common sense, always feeling. that Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall,
 A mothers loyal faith outlives them
 Your mother-in-law is worried about your and your husbands happi- ness. and would like to do all in her power to revive it to full bloom. She has shed many tears because of her misgivings. she feels that some thing must be done to keep you from following unworthy impulses, and, it seems, you will resent her good offices as meddlins.
 Obviously, such dreams can con- cern married women only. Very rarely do they involve the dreamer alone. They almost always include in their meaning the husband as well. If you see his mother carress- ling him you may be prepared for strife in your family, for
 A woman's love
 Is mighty, but mothers heart is
 weak,
 And by it's weakness overcomes, and you are likely to lose out in the unequal contest If she scolds him. you will gain the upper hand in the contest. If you have vision of your mother-in-law's death, you will probably receive a valuable gift from her hand. If you see her in illness. she will be separated from you for a long while and if you seem to be walking with her, you will be compelled to ask a favor from her and, unless she walks away from you in the dream picture, your re- quest will find quick response.

SIDELIGHTS ON PUBLISHING
BUSINESS.

Probably the business in every com
munity which comes nearest being IL
natural monopoly is the newspaper
business. That principle, if it is IA
principle, obtains whether there
is one, two or more newspapers.
Compared with the number of stores,
hotels, barber shops, garages IL what
not. the number of newspapers is small.
Yet it is the most difficult business in
the world to operate successfully and
fewer prosper in proportion to their
number than any other line of en-
deavor.
This m from several reasons.
First. because the average owner is not
n good business man. He may be a
literary genius, a politician, a town
''fixer," a jack-at-all trades. but as a
rule he doesn't know the first principle
of single entry bookkeeping.
Then comes the attitude of the COM
munity, an attitude inherited from the
Lord knows where-that the newspa-
per is Il community merry-go-round.
and that ever five cents a ride is too
much. 1t is difficult for many people
to understand that the labor and ma
terial and housing and every other in
cidental of the publishing business
must be paid for in actual cash. just as
other lines of business meet their PIX
penses.
In more recent years a few newspa-
pers have succeeded. but the percent
age is not large. The tendency during
the last decade is a decrease rather
than an increase in the number of pa
pers in any given community.-W. c.
Deming in Wyoming Tribune.
