Roast Goose With Annls.

The best goose to select Is a gosIing

water and q soft brush, then rinse with
cold water and dry 1t. After drawing,
wash inside the goose with water in
which one teaspoonful of baking soda
Is dissolved, rinse with clear water and
dry. Excess fat gives a rank flavor, so
remove as much as possible. Sprinkle
inside with salt and pepper, then stuff
1t. Lay the goose on its back and cover
the breast with thin slices of salt pork.
| This makes unnecessary any baStinR
during the first hour of roasting. AT
the end Of that time remove the goose
from the oven, take off the pork, turn
the fat from the pan, dredge the goose
with -four and return to the oven
When the flour in the pan is Drowned
add enough boiling water to cover the
bottom of the pan and use this for
| basting the goose frequently until II
is brown all over and the meat at the
joints is tender. This takes about three
hours. The flavor of roast goose is
best when the bird does not Sizzle In

My neighbors come, we get together,
about the time of eVenSong, and dis
course about the weather, discuss its
weak points and its strong. For many
years of observation have shown me
that this topics safe; it doesn't stir
up Indignation, it makes no fretful
spirit chafe. OF politics some men will
chatter, and some ones sure to rise and
swear, and he is liable to Splatter the
scenery with blood and hair. I've often
seen my friends foregather, a higher
tariff to discuss, and soon they'd all
be in a lather, and kicking up a beastly
fuss. I've heard men talk Of books
they're reading, and say the authors
are sublime; and some one, recognition
pleading, would say such authors are
crime. And soon they would be shout
ing. ranting, and pulling whiSkers in
their ire; then they'd go home ex-
hausted. painting, worn out by all this
martial FIRE. Most any theme will
cause a wrangle, most any argument
will lead to setting human nerves a.
iangle. TO making shapely noses bleed
l fill my briar pipe with heather, when
neighbors come TO rest an hour, and
calmly talk about the weather, and no
ones blood is rendered sour. And no
one rises to dispute me, when l de-
clare it looks like rain. no angry audi
tors will boot me and say / talk like
one insane. Perhaps my talk Is some
what boring, as drone on, while tWi-
light goes, but that is better far than
roaring, and shaking fists meath some
ones nose. I do not hurt some fell
lows feeling, do not anger any Jay,

adopted at the last session, that the
total amount Of money appropriated for

seat of Government here and up to
June IS last, has been $24,715,552, ex-
elusive of the salaries of public off,

OF this amount. as near as can be as
certained, about $4,000, 900 has been for
the Capitol and $14,709 1888 for the
other public buildings, furniture, sta

The assessed value of the Govern
ment reservations, exclusive Of the
reservations formed by the intersection
of streets and avenues, is $13,412,293.
The number of city lots originally held

were sold was $S11 ,642.58.

The esprit du corps of the volunteers

wane at the present time, If one may
Judge from the attendance at the Col
umbian Army on the nights designated
by the colonel in the regimental orders
for drill and instruction. The meet
ing last night was very slim. After
an hour spent in close confab around
the stove, the representatives of the
various corps were dismissed by COM
mon consent.
1t is strongly limited by many of the
volunteers that they will not attend
any more drill meetings under present
conditions. They say they are tired
going to the Armory merely to sit and
| talk. If the drills were conducted
with systematic regularity, they would
doubtless be more largely attended and
would be profitable to the volunteers.
apparently the regiment needs q drill
master upon whom the men may de-
pend.

Col. Shepherd called for volunteers
to go and get the key. Several men
stepped forward. Likely as not 1t
meant death to go, they knew.
Shepherd looked them over appraS-
ingly. Then he felt a pressure on his
army. A woman'S voice said, Let me
| 60"
He looked around. It was Betty
Zane. She said: II know right where
the keg is"
The colonel was thunderstruck. "You
amt big enough, Miss Betty" he SAID.
Besides, we can't let woman go. NO.
no. It can't be done"
Sir" said Betty Zane, ut Is because
am a woman that you must let me
go. II I should be killed, the loss
would not be so great as II one OF the
men should fall. You can't spare
man, sir"
Right or wrong, Betty Zane tri-
umphed. She was orphaned. She had
neither father nor mother. Nor had she
husband or child. Better perhaps that
she should go than any one else.
Sixty feet Is no great distance to
| travel on a warm September afternoon
unless, perchance, 400 redskins are
waiting to shoot at you every inch you
traverse.
BETTY darted across to the cabin so
Unexpectedly and with such speed that
the surprised Indians did not f1re at
her. But when she started back with
the key Of ammunition it was different.
A perfect shower Of bullets and arrows
was aimed at her.
Some kind of fate protected her. I'm
harmed, she few through the open gate
of the fort, which slammed fast behind
her. Hardened fighters and their stoical
mates wept with Joy.
It turned out that Betty's heroic ges-
ture was unnecessary. The next day, a
relieving force under Col. McColloch
arrived from Short Greek.

SUB ROSA
BIZ MIMI.


The Bible says that what is spoken
in secret will be proclaimed from house.
tops. That Is what is being done today
when radio has put its aerials on 50
many roofs. We are telling the world.
when this is a matter of music and
politics, of advertising and health talks,
It doesn't matter much. But there Is
q sense in which the human heart Is
being broadcast, although not by waves
from any one station.
No, it's the publicity given to private
emotions that have in mind when
say that Cupid has been put on the air
and that, the affairs Of the heart are
being broadcast in a big hook-up with
out any pause for station announce
ments.
Real love demands whispers and COO
ings, dim lights and quiet air. When 1t
is broadcast in books, as 1t used to be
In the old love-poens and love-Stor1eS, 1t
was sent out with such lot Of romance
and rhetoric that it didn't do the heart
much harm.
But nowadays we have lectures on the
subject In the guise Of hygiene, stories
and plays and screen courtShipS with
ever so many yards of kissing. There's
nothing private or romantic about TWEEN
tieth century love, is there?
I believe that love should always be
sub rosa no matter how honorable 1t Is.
It isn't secret, for 1t tells its tale In
bushes and signs 1t is private and
personal. 1t is meant to delight two
human hearts, not to make q Aim or
magazine article.
There's so much superpublicity that
romance has been crowded to the wall.
Romance seems like a slow-moving We
hicle that has to keep near the curb
while the traffic whizZes by.
Love, however, is something which can
be inferred better than 1t can be dis
played. 1t can be felt better than 1t can
be expressed. Let your boy friend guess
about the affairs of your heart, and let
him keep guessing.
Cupid has his place, but IL Is not on
the air. Cupid wants a place In the
moonlight. He ought to sign of all this
publicity and go back to silent love.
