Bargain" Watches.

The city of Hamilton, Ontario, sent
three technical experts of It's council
to New York to inspect machinery for
hundred thousand dollar project.
These engineers were experts on all
kinds of machinery. While in the big
city" however they succumbed to the
lure of bargain hunting, and. their Job
finished. they each bought beautiful
white gold watch. Very much pleased
with their purchase, they gayly hoped
aboard the train for Hamilton. only TO
discover that none of the timepieces
carried any works. When they reported
to the council the result of their in
vestigations, the controller, who had
heard about their unfortunate pur-
chase, produced one of the bargain
watches and said, The men who
bought these watches offer us expert
advice on engine equipment for the
city and speak TO lis in technical terms"
The council failed to make choice of
the equipment that had been inspected
and recommended by the three expert.
1t is very probable that none of the
technicians will ever hear the last OF
THEN New York trip. 1t could hardly
have been worse If they had been sold
batch of left-handed monkey wrenches
or right-handed hammers. How any
group of men could buy watches which
did not tick is beyond understanding
The city of Hamilton had better keep
these experts at home where they will
stay out of trouble. If they were
sent to Washington some enterprising
stranger might sell them shares in the
Monument.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHmANDER JOHNSON.
What He Missed.

What He Missed.
He had time for the serious duty
He faced 1t with courage each day.
He sighed as he thought of the beauty
In life that was slipping away.
He travelled path that was lonely.
And battled with folly and guile.
He needed the sorrowing only.
And never had time for smile.
He paused mid the piaudits of nations.
Resentful because of delay.
He read through the long adulations.
Which print would so freely display.
We said his rewards we're transcendent
And envied him. Yet. all the while,
He labored mid greetings resplendent--
And never had time for smile

Menus for the Family
BY SISTER MARY

BREAKFAST - Apples, cereal,
cream. spinach with poached eggs
on toast, oven toast, milk, coffee.
LUNCHEON--Tomato bouillon,
toast sticks. lettuce sandwiches,
chocolate souffle, milk, tea.
DINNER-Broiled pork tender
loin, twice baked sweet potatoes,
buttered brussels sprouts. stuffed
kumquat salad, pineapple and rice
pudding, milk, coffee.
Brussels sprouts are an excelIena
vegetable for small children. They
are rich in mineral salts and vita
minis and comparatively easy to
digest. The tinyness of them
makes them attractive to little
folks who will refuse cabbage but
eat the sprouts. Cook in an un-
covered kettle.
The tomato bouillon suggested
in the luncheon menu should be
made with strong beef stock.
Chocolate SOufTle
Two tablespoons butter. 2 table,
spoons -four, cup milk, squares
bitter chocolate, II cup sugar, 2
tablespoons hot water, 3 eggs,
teaspoon vanilla, few grains salt.
Melt butter, stir in flour and
when mixture bubbles, slowly add
milk, stirring constantly. Cook
until boiling point is reached. Melt
chocolate over hot water with hot
water. Add sugar and stir until
smooth. Add chocolate mixture to
first mixture and beat hard. Add.
yolks Of eggs beaten until thick
and lemon colored and let mixture
stand until cool. Beat whites of
eggs until stiff and dry. Beat in
salt and vanilla and fold into first
mixture. Turn into buttered
baking dish and bake thirty to
forty minutes in a moderately slow
oven. Serve at once with whipped
cream. W

Well, it so happens that HudSpeth

WASHINGTON.-P some day
all members of congress will be re-
quired to make a public statement Of
their property holdings and security
holdings, but it won't be soon. Moth
ing like that has happened since the
Mulhall investigation of the early Will
son days.
But it must have been noted some
times how much more passionately q
congressman can speak for measure
which will put money in his own
pocket than for some other measure
which will only put money in another
mans pants. Like many other things
that go on t,re every year, the sub
ject offers a field for academic spec
ulation as to just where to draw the
line between good ethics and bad.
Take, for instance, the plea of Con-
gresham Claude B. HudSpeth OF
Texas, who wants a duty on hides.
Take Hudspeth just because he hap
pens to be handy and not becaues he
is unique or has acted reprehensibly.
