Pleasing the Man
BY CHLOE JAMISON.

YOU have fed him so many vege-
L tables over the Summer that your
Fall selections will need to be pretty
original if they are to intrigue the
mans appetite.
Among the Fall numbers are sweet
potatoes and Hubbard squash-the one
a favorite fruit for mannish tastes; the
other not so popular. And how you shall
prepare them in ways that Will MAKE
the old favorite seem entirely new and
the unwanted squash blessing Is a
question Try these recipes:
Escalloped Sweets With Apples.-1n
boiling salted water cook four sweet
potatoes Cool and skin and slice them
in pieces about one-haf inch thick.
Pare and core four apples and slice in
pieces of the same thickness. Butter a
pretty baking dish, place in 1t alternate
layers of the potatoes and apples, dust
ing each layer with sugar and salt and
adding dots of butter. Add three table
spoonfuls of water and bake in a mod
crate oven until the apples are soft and
the top layer of potatoes takes on rich,
carmelized brown. Serve in the original
dish.
Squash will never taste like its old
bland self if you prepare 1t this way,
with special seasonings:
Baked Hubbard Squash-Cook one
small Hubbard squash. pared and cut
in pieces, cook in boiling salted water
until it is tender. Drain thoroughly and
mash. Soften two tablespoonfuls minced
onion, one tablespoonful minced green
pepper and one of pimento in four
tablespoonfuls of butter. Add to the
mashed squash, season well with more
salt, pepper and dash of sugar. Place
in a buttered baking dish. sprinkle top
with buttered crumbs and little grated
cheese Bake in hot oven for twenty
minutes, or until crumbs are brown.

TINE vogue of handmade floor
coverings is reflected in the new
style of rugs which are being
i found on the market. These
are made to represent old pat
terms, as well as old stitchery. Some
years ago this was started in the re-
production of hooked-rug patterns and
1ooped effects in carpets and rugs. To-
day this has gone farther and rag
carpet effects, or homespun as they
are called, are in favor. In these
there is a soft and beautiful blend of
colors in irregular lines and apparent
disregard for shades and tones as is
found in the well remembered hit
or-miss" weave. Unlike it. however,
there is definite scheme for the in
PRODUCTION of colors as must always
be in textile weaves. They cannot
have the careless use of different hues
permissible in genuine .hit-or-miss." )"
Let it be said, though, that the woven
carpets and rugs lose nothing by the
definite scheme where color harmonies
are well thought out rather than ac-
cidental.
One design is an adaptation of a
carpet in Mount Vernon. This Ger
tainly is the time to bring out such
q design. as here lived George Wash
ington, the Bicentennial of whose birth
is celebrated this year. The design
is a simple one of scattered blossoms
over the background.
The hooked-rug carpets are woven

And I'm glad you are here" replied
the young Grouse.
Did you see what I did" continued
his mother Il got up right between
those hunters so that they couldn t
shoot I have found by long expert
ence that while they are always ready
to shoot us at this time of year they
always take the greatest care never to
shoot each other. That is why when !
took to my wings I did it right between
them. AS soon as you can fly again
you will have to learn the art of tree
dodging"
What is tree dodging?" asked the
young Grouse wonderingly.
Putting a tree between you and a
hunter before he can use his terrible
gum" replied Mrs. Grouse. "Once in a
while tree lodging is useful in escap-
ing from a Hawk, but chiefly it is use
full in escaping from terrible guns. No
one who fails to learn the art of tree
lodging will ever live long where there
are hunters with terrible guns Your
father is one of the best tree dodgers
1 know of, and I am not bad at it my
self, if I do say So"
Were you ever hit?" asked the
young Grouse.
Twice. but it was when was young
and without experience" replied Mrs.
Grouse
Then I guess you know how helpless
feel" sighed the young Grouse.
II know all about it, replied Mrs.
Grouse. II was worse off than you are,
but here I am. The hunters haven't
got me yet. You were lucky in that
you merely lost some feathers from your
wing New ones will take their place
and that wing will be as good as ever.
1t might have been broken. I hope
that by tomorrow you will be able to
travel. The sooner we get back to that
part of the Green Forest from which
Farmer Browns Boy keeps the hunters
away the better for us. Here hunter
is likely to appear at any time"
The next morning the young Grouse
felt so much better that they started
for home, Mrs. Grouse leading the way.
They had not gone far when Mrs.
Grouse told the young Grouse to creep
under little pile of brush that they
chanced to be close to and under no
circumstances to move until she
should call him. Then she stood mo-
ture of alertness. A moment later the

rible gun approaching. 1t was the same
one who had killed his sister and
wounded him and his heart sank. The
hunter had no Dog to help him.
The young Grouse watched his
mother. He guessed that she wouldn't
fly unless she felt that she must.
Nearer came the hunter. Just outside
the little patch of brush he stopped and
picked up q stick. This he threw so
that it landed close to Mrs. Grouse
There was loud whir of wings and up
she shot. Up went the gun of the
hunter, but there was no bang. Mrs
Grouse had lodged behind a tree and
then, as the hunter had jumped to one
side to get a clear shot, she lodged be-
hind the trunk of another tree. That
hunter didn't have chance to shoot.
1t was wonderful to see her dodge in
and out among those trees, all the time
at tremendous speed.
so that is tree dodging," thought
the young Grouse admiringly. Il Won

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN 4. GUM.
Cultured Minds.

"Understandest thou what thou read
est?"-Acts, viii.30.
II would trade this factory for the
ability to appreciate that book. The
man speaking was a wealthy manufac-
turer. He was speaking to one of his
stenographers, whom he had seen read
ing the book with evident interest and
understanding. When she had laid the
book down. he had picked it up and
looked at it, but it had nothing for
him He had not the ability to read
appreciation. Why?
The answer Is simple enough. For
m. NY years this man had thought only
in .erns of his factory. II was his
world Outside of that world he was
lost. He had never cultivated taste
for literature and the cultural things
of life. Literature, art, history, phil
osophy. intellectual concepts and spir-
itual ideals had no meaning to him.
The only things that had any meaning
to him were machinery and manufac-
tures
AS between this manufacturer and
his stenographer. the latter was the
richer of the two She was poor as
to material wealth, but rich in the
finer wealth of mind and heart. She
haQ trained ana cultureQ ner nina SO
that she could read and appreciate the
best things in literature. BY reading
and study she had made herself heir
to the priceless inheritance bequeathed
to the world by its great thinkers and
sages.
There is such thing as a poor rich
man. He has the money to buy any
thing he wants, but the poor farm
tenant, If he is blessed with a seeing
eye and a sensitive imagination and
has thereby become rich in the beati-
tudes of the kingdom Of beauty. is the
possessor of more of the actual wealth
of life than the Landowner who has lost
the vision for seeing and appreciating
the beauties Of nature that flame and
glow in the fields and forests of his
estate.
Culture is better than collateral. The
gold of the mind is better than the gold
of the market place. An empty purse
may be embarrassing, but an empty
mind is infinitely more embarrassing.
No matter how great a mans wealth,
he himself is no greater than the COM
pass and orbit of his soul. With all
thy getting. get understanding" II
you must be poor as to gold, make
yourself rich in soul.

It was the dignified, gray-haired
Marylanders idea that the fight should
be kept on high plane always. His
strategy was to attack prohibition on
such issues as infringement Of State
rights, await a possible shift in senti-
ment, and take advantage Of every op-
portunity to impress on the country
the need for a change.
Representing a district opposed to
prohibition, he fought constantly to re-
tain his leadership of the wet bloc.
Three men loom as his possible Sue
cessors-O'Connor Of New York, .
Democrat; Beck Of Pennsylvania. a
Republican, and La Guardia Of New
York, an independent Republican.
O'Connor, however, seems to have
the inside track. In all probability the
ma ajority party will continue to furnish
the leadership. The House, regardless
of the November elections, will remain
Democratic during the rest OF the Sew
enty- Second Congress.
O'Connor, who was author Of q bill
for the legaliZation Of beer before the
last session of the House and who con-
tested with Linthicum at one time for
the leadership of the vets, appears to
be the choice.
Red-haired, broad-shouldered and
stocky, O'Connor would furnish q diff
ferent type Of leadership from that Of
Linthicum. He loves fight on any
question and on prohibition In par
ticular.
He can talk as long and loud Is any
Of them. He Is aggressive and believes
in carrying the fight to the opponents
for . showdown whenever possible.

neighborhoods. acquaintance as well as
friends are notified. usually by a little
card (the baby's) tied to the visiting

they are eggs and not seeds. Once or
twice the walking stick has become very
numerous, the last time in 1898, when
great numbers of them appeared in

WALKING STICK.
Diapheromera femorats.


Diapheromera femorata.
IN ECEPTION Is the watchword Of
the walking stick family. It
takes q true naturalist to find
- the members among the twigs
of trees. So cleverely do they
stretch their long antennae and front
legs before them, and with their colora-
tion to aid them, too, you must know
their ways and wiles to find them.
The mother has little regard for the
welfare Of her children. She literally
lays her eggs in the air and lets them
fall where they will. One hundred eggs
are scattered over the ground. The
mother walking stick is busily engaged
in eating the leaves Of the tree, and she
may be on one side Of 1t when she lays
the first ones and on the other when
the last ones fall on the leaves below.
Even these eggs look like what they are
not. Many have been fooled by them
They resemble the tiny seeds in the pea
family. Highly polished, black as ebony,
compressed sides and even a white stripe
down one Of them, the plump little eggs
go unnoticed by the average person.
Members Of this family are well known
all over the world. and In the tropics
grow to be very large. They have, the
ability to replace lost members. True,
the second limb is rather crooked and
weak, but 1t is serviceable.
All Winter long the little seeds lie
on the ground, and about May the
plump little cases may be seen with a
lidike top opened and young walking
stick stepping out. At first the little
fellow is pale yellowish green and he
stays close to the ground, but Is busily
engaged in filling himself with tender
leaves. During his first six weeks he
molts twice and is ready to climb up
the tree trunk. AS he grows older his
colors become gray and brown and take
on the shade Of the twigs about him.
In spite Of the number of eggs laid
by each mother the family does not be-
come problem. Very likely many of
the eggs are trodden under foot, and

smile:
IT would not mind bit to ride In

a drive. But after he had his ride, he
tried to get out. He had to have his
mate take hold Of his feet and pull
them around to one side Of the car.
