Odd "Pestifution''

There Is on record one. Edward
Hunt, who played a rather dirty trick
on his only son. It seems that the old
gentleman had one time wronged an
other man-had beaten him out of a
large sum Of money and otherwise
worsted him. The fellow had died, but
Hunts conscience still troubled him.
When it came to dying he decided he
would make some kind Of restitution,
so he ordained that his twenty-one-
year-old SON., in order to fall heir to
his fortune, must hunt out and marry
the daughter Of the other man-that
is, if the daughter existed, and if not
a daughter, chen a niece.
The young man did as he was bid
den in his fathers VIII and found the
daughter, but she was ffty-fye years
old. He was a good sport, however,
and, with the woman willing, carried
out his fathers wishes.

Absence Was Absence
to This Tin,ekeepeI

The boss OF a large construction jOt
in western Canada was going over the
accounts on pay day with the new
timekeeper, who had been there only
a week and was anxious to make a
good impression. The pay checks were
regular enough except that one showed
n hour less than the rest.
Look here" said the boss sus-
~piciously, Il thought everybody put
in full time last week"
"All except Abe Martin, the night
Waterman, the t~imekeeper answered.
HE was off duty one hour Wednesday
night"
Man aliver" exclaimed the aston
ished boss. "That was the night Abe
discovered the burglar setting fire to
the commissary building after he had
robbed the storekeeper's till. Why,
didn't you hear about it? Everybody
is calling Abe a hero, and" he wills
pered c~onfidentially, the railroad com
pany is talking about ~rewarding him
handsomely for what he did. If he
hadn't captured the fellow, thousands
of dollars worth Of supplies would
have gone up in smoke"
Eyes, l know" agreed the timekeep-
er. 81 estimated the loss and figured
that it would have run into as much
as this job is worth"
And Abe chased the fellow up into
the hills the boss continued. THE
fellow was desperate and took two or
three shots at Abe. They struggled
desperately before Abe finally over
powered him and forced him back to
camp. It was an hour before he got
him back, too"
Sure" responded the t~imekeeper
triumphantly. 81 locked him for the
he was gone."-Youth's Com

Hom Birds Rothe

The most elaborate d~ressers of the
animal world are the birds, all Of
whom take baths whenever possible
Some of them use earth, sand or dust
When these find a suitable spot they
scratch up the surface and then shuttle
backward, moving legs and wings and
working the grit right through their
feathers.
Most birds, however, are water
bathers. Some, such as the kingfisher.
plunge right in. This bird usually
dives from a branch, entering the wa.
ter with open wings and making q
great splash. In addition TO his morn
ing toilet, the kingisher has a com
plete bath after eating fish that he
catches; so that he often takes q
dozen headers during the day.

OId-Time Oratory

When in the house of commons
Sheridan made his famous speech on
the spoliation Of the Begums Of Dude,
he was offered, within "a hours, f1,0O0
for the copyright. Burke's subsequent
plea for the Impeachment Of Warren
Hastings had even more dramatic eff
feet, as we may read In the pages
Of Macaulay. "Handkerchiefs were
pulled out, smelling bottles were hand
ed round. hysterical sobs and screams
were heard, and Mrs. Sheridan was
carried out in a fit"
That was in 17SS. Orators and their
art-and some other things-have
changed since then.-New York Her

H E WINDS ARE FAIR
By F. Il. WALKER

TN THE summer time of life, wheI
= the winds are fair, very few of u
are disposed to think about anything
except pleasure.
1t is u turn upon the stage.
We are anxious to play our par
with magnificent gusto, though W,
may be as green as a pair of rustic
pumpkins in the art of dancing the
stately minuet.
But the minuet, alas. is too beauti-
full, airy, dainty and graceful for the
present summertime folk.
There is too much exquisite charm
in its movements and not enough
noise. Yet SO it is.
If we would acknowledge 1t, we
might without the slightest blush adj
NIT that this is the age of jazz and
brass, and the two according to our
way of thinking, jangle %ravishingly to-
gether, especially when we furnish
the brass, of which we have large va
rieties.
In spite Of our supposedly higher
education, we are deficient in many
of the finer social arts with which our
%forebears of 20 or 40 years ago were
intimately acquainted.
They were more esthetic than we,
more particular with whom they
formed social alliances; money and
brass, even though they might have
been well introduced, could no in
those days enter the homes of the
best people and get a cordial recep-
ton.
Pedigree and character took the
long count, and around these two es-
sential qualities the clock of propriety
had to tick perfectly accurate seconds.
But in these days the winds seem
be fair for everybody, quite re-
CARELESS of the barometer.
Even young men and young women
attractive of face and form, with moth
ing to ~substantiate their character but
brass and wealth, cannot enter in real
or become intimate with the
cultured people.
And if you will stroll through these
title towns you will become conscious

the cheetah stands about thirty inches
high at the shoulder and with his long
forearms and hooks reaching almost
down to the foot he is built exactly as
man has tried to build the greyhound
during hundreds of years.
So far as we know no records exist
to tell the speed of this wonderful
beast, but hunters agree that for a
short distance the cheetah is beyond
comparison the feetest creature that
treads the earth. It is a masterpiece
of nature. To the lion, the tiger and

WARM WEATHER FOODS

GELATIN desserts. frozen dishes
and fruit of all kinds make an es-
pecial appeal to the appetite during
the hot, sultry days of late summer.
a dessert is not a dish to worry
about with ice cream to be bought in
all markets and fresh fruits so avail
able.
Meats in large quantity or at every
meal are not desired by the average
appetite during the warm weather;
eggs, fish, fresh vegetables, fruits and
plenty Of milk will keep the body in
good condition-with very little meat.
Fried eggs should never be given to
anyone who has not a good digestion.
So-called s~Oft-cooked eggs are often
boiled. An egg to be perfectly easy
of digestion should never be cooked at
the boiling point. Simmering tempera-
ture cooks eggs well the yolk will be
mealy, the white tender. If four eggs
In the shell are to be cooked take a
dish holding a little more than four
pints; into four pints of boiling wa
ter drop the four eggs. Cover closely,
set aside and keep covered for 30 min
utes If a w~ell-cooked egg is wanted. If
a soft or coddled egg, remove in ten
minutes.
It Is easy to cook new potatoes in
their jackets and we may feel we are
justified when we know we are saw
ing valuable minerals which are lost
If the potatoes are peeled and boiled.
The following is a good warm-weath-
er dish taking the place of meat:
Rinktumditty of Cheese.
Peel and chop very fine enough
white onions to measure a cupful
they should be chopped as fine as pulp.
Cook them in a pan with enough but
ter to brown a golden color. Add one
and one-half pounds of thinly sliced
rich American cheese, one teaspoon
full of salt, two of dry mustard, two
tablespoonfuls of worcestershire and
one-eighth of a t%easpoonful of cayenne.
Have ready one cupful of sifted toma-
toes, add gradually while stirring until
the cheese IS melted. Add quickly two
beaten eggs; stir these until barely set
and serve on slices of buttered toast
arranged on a large platter. Garnish
with shredded cabbage or lettuce cut
into strips.
Add a little gelatin to ginger ale
and mold for dessert. One may make
any number of delicious combinations
adding bits Of orange or other fruits.
Serve with crea and sugar.

Reflection OF a
Bachelor Girl
By HELEN RowLANp

A BRIDE, at her second wedding.
- does not wear a veil. She wants
TO SEE what she is getting.
A girl doesn't feel that she Hooks
right" nowadays, unless her brother,
her father, or her husband disapproves
of her.
A oma spends most Of her life in
permitting a man to forgive" her for
her indignation at the outrageous
things he does.
1t is every mans divine right to
think that he is fatally dangerous to
women, no matter what his mirror or
his sister tells him.
The caveman may be the modern
girls notion of an ideal lover; but
give ME the shy man, who leaves
something to a woman's Imagination.
He is always such a sweet surprise!
The only way some married people
appear to be able to measure the
strength of each others love is by the
amount of nagging it takes to kill 1t. !

We call the cheetah the hunting leop-

hound. No other animal so oddly com
