One way to overcome the habit that
is so annoying to others as we'll as
ourselves is to plan to~be ready 70 do
the thing or to 80 to the place at an
earlier hour than actually necessary.
suppose. for example. that the time
was 4:30. Plan to be ready at 4, and
you then stand a good chance of being
prompt. Some persons are habitually
half an hour late; others are 10 min
utes behind time. II is when they
try to overcome the tardy habit they
discover the average number of min
utes they are behind time. This helps.
for il forms a gauge OF the number
OF minutes that should be planned in
the beforehand allowance Of time to
insure promptness.
lmpatience and Tsrdiness.
Tardy persons are apt to he impa-
tient ones. They hate to wait for a
train. but prefer to arrive just in
time to catch it. They consider II a
waste of time to get into their seats
much before the train starts. 1t is
true that a prompt person often does
waste time by being in readiness too
early. But there is tranquility
about this waiting period that is never
known to the tardy person who is al
ways in a rush. However. it is mis-
calculation Of time. only in the other
direction, that makes persons waste
time being too early. Between ex-
tremes is correct calculation of time.
Causes and Effects.
Being in a rush comes from one Of
two things-either a tardy trait or
the attempt to do more than can he
accomplished in a definite time. Both
reasons cause people to he late. but
there is an excuse in the latter in
stance that is entirely lacking in the
former. 1t is poor notion, however,
to excuse ones self when late with
the thought that pressure of work
was at fault. 1t simply means that
the stepping-stones for the habit of
tardine& are being laid. And once
these stones are on sure foundation.
then being late gets to be an almost
unbreakable habit. The tardy per-
son makes his family and friends un-
easy AID himself fun of excuses.

Nutrition Nuggets.

In planning shortening TO he used
in cooking or a spread for bread.
remember that some margarin is fre-
pared entirely from vegetable oils
This fact will take care of any preju-
dices which may exist on the part
of those who prefer not to eat any
animal fat except butter. On the
other hand. there are good brands OF
margarin on the market that do have
beef suet as one important ingredient.
This fat is perfectly wholesome ana
when combined with butter makes
palatable spread"
From the standpoint of satisfactory
food value. fish and poultry are us
ually looked upon as adequate substi.
tutes for meat. They are in the same
class. namely, that Of bodybuilding
material. In fact, some individuals
who are for any reason forbidden
meat NAV often eat Ash or poultry.
Remember that the yolk Of the egg
is really more important from the
standpoint of nutrition than the
white. The alhumen or bodybuilding
material contained In the white may
be obtained from the various sources
-meat. milk. and so on. On the other
hand. the yolk of the egg is so rich
in various mineral salts and in vita
minis that it makes a specially desira-
ble food. 1t is more digestible than
the white and when first making the
addition of eggs to the diet of chill
dren ii is we'll to serve only the yolk.
The effect Of this. as well as of
small quantity Of whole egg. should
he watched and additions made ac
cordingly.
Honey Is composed Of a con1binat ton
of different forms of sugar. The form
of sugar which is present in largest
qua nifty in honey is one that is most
easily digested. Honey is. therefore.
a desirable sweet for making attrac-
tive the dietary of either the child
or the invalid. A word of caution Is
in order. Because Of q certain condi-
ton which prevails while the bees
are ma anufacturing honey, the product
has a trace Of element that is tech
nically poisonous and is sometimes N
irritant. This element Is present in
such minute quantities as to make the
danger very small.

down the river. Two days later, he dis
mounted from his pony at the gate Of

from Fort BufOrd. The appearance at

a real sensation, for it was a fact that not

dared to go forth on that treacherOuS river
trail alone that winter.

His Duel with Two Sioux Warriors
When about 80 miles above Fort Berth
old, Kelly camped with the famous Ari-
kara chief, Bloody Knife, who recievd the
lad Hospitality. All had gone very peace
ably with the boy up to this time. He
stopped at the camp Of Red Mike, fearless
and famous hunter and trapper and had
proceeded from there about five miles when
the very thing that the garrison at the fort
had fOrseen happened. Turning at a point
in the trail, he came face-tO- face with two
mounted Sioux warriors. What ensued is
best described by this intrepid old scout in
his own words:
"On seeing me they at once dismOunt-
ed, and apparently sat down beside a
large cottonwood tree that stood near
the trail. This did not strike me as un~
usual, as Indians often get down to
smoke and chat when meeting friends on
the road. Nevertheless, drew my gun
out Of its case and checked the speed of
my horse. When had approached with
in about twenty or thirty yards they
suddenly rose and fired at me, one with
shotgun and the other armed with
bow and arrow.
cat the same instant I dropped from
my nag and fired quickly at the Indian
who was running to the brush for COW
er. He never got a chance to empty the
remaining barrel of his gun, for as he
ran fired at him without taking sight,

the shot, and the brush concealed him.

with his companion.

at me, my horse plunged, but Twas al
