@. Well, this is the most extraordi-
nary statement ever heard!
A. Why, what makes you think that?
@. How could I think otherwise?
Why, look here! Who is this picture
of on the wall? Isn't that brother of
yours?
A. oh, yes, yes, yes! Now you re-
mind me of it, that was a brother of
mine. That's William-Bell we called
him. Poor old Bill!
@. Why? Is he dead, then?
A. Alb! Well, suppose so. We
never could tell. There was a great
mystery about it.
Q. That is sad; very sad. He disap-
peared then?
A.. Well, yes, in sort of general way.
We buried him.
@. Buried him? Buried him without
knowing whether he was dead or not?
A. Oh, no! Not that. He was dead
enough
@. Well, confess that can't under
stand this. If you buried him. you
knew he was dead.
A. No, no! We only thought he was.
@. Oh, see! He came to life again?
A. bet he didn't.
@. Well, never heard anything like
this! Somebody was dead; somebody
was buried. Now, where was the mys-
terry?

bathtub when we were only 2 weeks
old, and one of us was drowned. But

was Bill; some think it was me.
@. Well, that is remarkable! What
do you think?
| A. Goodness knows! I would give
whole worlds to know. This solemn
this awful mystery has cast o gloom
over my whole life. But I will tell you
a secret now that have never revealed
to any creature before. One of us had

back to Aaron Burr, what particular
circumstance made you think him re-

A. A mere trifle Not one man in Sc

James Buchanan entered the White
House a bachelor and remained one
Grover Cleveland was not married when
elected President in 1884, but less than
two years after he took offlce he made
Frances Folsom, daughter of his former
law partner in Buffalo, his bride.
Many years before, a predecessor,
John Tyler, had become the laughing
stock Of America, by marrying girl
80 years his Junior. While some fun
was poked at Mr.. Cleveland for taking
he, the merriment reached nowhere the
proportions of the gale that followed
Tyler's love adventure.
Perhaps the reason lay in the fact
that Tyler was a widower, and the
Cleveland had never been married
The young Mrs. Cleveland's position
was not an easy one. Before Mr..
Cleveland.s first election he had been
the object Of the most slanderous at
tacks. Similar circumstances accom-
panied his next election.
Mr.. Cleveland had been almost a
father to Miss Folsom from that day
in 1875 when her father, Oscar Folsom,
had been killed in a runaway. He had
given her parents her first baby car
riage. He taught her to call him ''Uncle
Cleve," gave her a bull terrier puppy,
administrated Oscar Folsoms estate,
and while he was never officially the
little girls guardian, her mother of
course filling that position, he certainly
was always her close adviser.
The circumstances that attended Mr..
Cleveland's metamorphoSis from mature
friend and counselor to lover probably
will never be known. Miss Folsom
graduated from Wells College in June,
1885. While she was in school, her
room was always decorated with flowers
from Mr.. Cleveland, who was then
mayor Of Buffalo and attaining State
prominence In the political world.
After college she went to Europe with
her mother. The public had no
suspicion of the Presidents romance.
However, he and Miss Folsom had be-
come engaged before she sailed, even
before her graduation.
From Europe the bride-to-be wrote to
an intimate friend revealing her en-
gagement. A few days later there was
a story in a newspaper, but the facts
were garbled. The item had it that

neither did the President. In fact, there

the unknown never held an appointive

and one level tablespoonful of ground
coffee, and-don't breathe this, it is
a cooks secret and it likely to shock
if mentioned in polite society-a tea

must be boiling hard. Pour the boil

cover open and let it boil UP to top Of

stirring down each time. BE careful
it does not boil over. Cover pot and
set aside. The longer it waits the
better it gets. You cannot smell this

sure the cream is in the cups first.

Time to Learn.

For several years in our public
schools, classes Of boys in the elemen-
tary grade have been taught the science
and art of cooking. To my mind this
is course that every boy and girl
should be compelled to take for at
least year in grade school, Here
just recently medical college has es-
tabliShed a chair of cookery for the
purpose of equipping our future physi-
clans with this elementary knowledge,
for the benefit Of their patients. Boy
Scouts have included culinary skill
among their numerous accomplishments
these many years. In short, the young
woman who drifts along to adolescence
ignortant Of the science and art of cook
ing Is no longer joke; she's just a
drab. Indeed, the man who can't cook
at all is back number today. Regular
guys, he-men, are cultivating the
kitchen apron as eagerly as the shop
girls jobSnatcher does golf pants.
The science of cookery fairly belongs
within the province of the health or
hygiene department. The art of COOK

you have to learn by practice. A vast
amount of stuff relating to cookery and
much of it nonsense is offered through
various channels of instruction and I

more or less battering of menus and
recipes.
Mrs. H. w. r.. who says she often
reads this column because she enjoys
its humor, is an experienced house
keeper. She heard a man say, many
years ago, that when he smelled coffee
he knew the cook did not know how
to make 1t. Then Mrs. H. w. r. de-
scribes her own method:

1000 WORKERS

Fair Weather May Cause
Shortage of Threshing
Hands in State

With continued fair weather this
week fully 1000 hands will be re-
quired in North Dakota for thresh-
ing, according to Edward G. Sulli-
van Of the federal employment bur-
eau. This number will be required
in addition to the number now avail
able.
The Dew Lake territory is in inn
mediate need of 800 more men and
approximately the same number Of
threshing hands are needed in the
Grand Forks district, Sullivan said.
Last week there was surplus Of
labor in the state due to excessive
rainfall and wet fields. Until the
weather settled and the fields dried
out, it was Unfair to induce men to
come to North Dakota, the agent
said.
So far the supply Of men has been
adequate to meet all demands.
Wages generally have been lower
last week because Of sufficient
supply.
Shortages are anticipated in GER
tain districts Of this territory. Men
are being directed to these sections
to meet tie anticipated demands.
Crews are we'll filled in Burleigh
county except the northern section.
There is also = slight shortage in

Rules which may we'll be followed

Be sure the location is one in
which you can afford to live, will

pect to continue to live.
Check over the public utility serv-
ices available. such as water, gas,
sewer, and electricity. If all Of these
are ready for use the lot is worth
more.
Find out II it is "filled in" lot;
that is, II it once was q hollow or
swamp and filled in with other ma
terials. II 50, be careful. Heavier
footings are necessary in such cases,
and some architects recommend
against it entirely.
