BOYS NOT POLISHED !

Educators and Parents.
English Ycuths Co Not Know How to

of Their Superiors.
London.—How ts It that some Eng

No less a person than the king hlm

“The foreigners know when to bow.

and friends.
At Victoria station (Brighton line)
it- platforms were crowded from
time to time with homecoming school
boys. who appeared to be very etn
t arra.-sed when they met loving aunts
end other relatives. Some instances
were as follows:
One toy. ag“d about fifteen, was in

deeply and tumbled with his hat. Ap

hand he should use to shake hands.

In the station reFtauraDt two boys
were having lunch with a lady friend
Both were intensely self-conscious
and fumbled with everything. They
rarely passed anything to the lady
and only talked in monosyllables.
On the other hand, French and
American boys appear to be perfectly
self possessed and know the right

Neither could remember having
seen the other and neitner knew un

Both were adopted when babies from
a home here, and their real names
are not given. Miss Veail lived with
a family at Wichita and did not learn
until a year ago that she had a sister.
She came here to visit her supposed
mother's family.
The other day she visited a depart

exact counterpart in appearance.
Both were amazed at their resem

turned to her home much perturbed.
She visited the store again and met
her twin.
Then she started inquiries, which
disclosed that Miss Freeman was her
sister. The girls could not express
their joy at finding each other. They
have not made their plans for the fu

ENJOYS SWIM IN THE RIVER
Horse Breaks Away From Store Wag

—Appeared Much Refreshed.
New York.—Hundreds of persons !
along the North River front in the
vicinity of 45th street watched a
struggle to get a large truck horse .

[ plunged from the dock at the foot of j
that street and enjoyed Itself in the
water for nearly an hour blocks above, j
The horse was attached to a stone i
wagon and broke away and jumped
into the water.
The animal swam around for a few '
minutes and then Joseph O'Neill, of
No. 615 West Forty-ninth street, who
was out in a rowboat, pulled along-1
; side of the horse and cut the harness I
from him. O'Neill placed a halter j
about the animal's neck and after an !
hour got it to the foot of West Forty- i

NEW WHEAT IS PERFECTED
Federal Expert. After Four Years of

Discovery in Chule.
Chico, Cal.—After four years experi- 1
menting at the national introduction ;
gardens near this city a variety of j
wheat known as chule, introduced in
to the United States from Turkestan.
H. E. Blanchard, western cereal ex
pert of the department cf agriculture,
has succeeded in separating a pure
white seed from the mixture which
has contaminated it practically ever
since its introduction. In tests just
completed the new wheat has aver
aged fifteen to twenty bushels more
to the acre than the white Australian
variety, which is accepted as standard
by the farmers of the west Mr.
Blanchard considers the segregation
of the new grain one of the greatest
forward steps in wheat culture In

Effect of Human Voic: Is Sooth
ing, Says Ranchman.
“Chapo” Bedecked Puncher of Olden
Days Has Passed With the “Gun
man," Declares W. H. Gray,
a Texas Veteran.
St. Louis. Mo.—“Singing cattie tc
sleep at a round-up is not an uncom
mon occurrence,” said W. H. Gray
Civil war veteran, real estate dealer
and owner of a cattle ranch seventeen
miles west of Amarillo.^Tex.. to a
group of friends on his return recent
ly from the Lone Star state.
“We have a round-up on my ranch
about twice a year. The cattle do not
see a human being for perhaps
months at a time, and as a result are
pretty wild.” continued Mr. Gray.
“The cowboys form a large circle and
gradually begin to drive the cattle in
\\ hen the different herds are driven
into one large circle the work of
branding begins.
“A round-up. however, sometimes
lasts for two weeks or more, and the
task of keeping the cattle together is
not an easy one. At night they be
come restless and if they are allowed
to move too much a stampede Is
likely.
"The method of keeping the cattle
quiet was discovered in a unique way
several years Sgo. During one of the
round-ups the cattle were more than
ordinarily restless. A large force of
cowboys were kept guarding the cir
cle despite the fact that they had all
helped with the branding during the
day. The next day the work was not
done half so well because of the loss
of sleep from which the men suffered.
"That evening one of the cowboys
who bad been with us only a few
months and who had come from the
east rode out and began to circle the
cattle. The other men were eating
supper, and. being lonesome, the east
erner began singing a melodious tune
After a few minutes a cow drorpel
down on her side to sleep, followed by
her calf. One by one the others pre
pared to rest for the night, and withir
a half hour there was no pcso’bilitt
of a stampede and no need of a heavj
guard. The other jeowboys tin.slici
their supper and. mounting theit
horses, went out to begin the tedious
task of watching the cattie Wher
they arrived they saw that most o’
the cattle were lying down, so thej
withdrew a few yards to watch th<
animals and their partner, who was
still riding around the circle singing
“When told later on of the feat hi
had accomplished the cowboy was an
gry. believing that he was beinj
■joshed,' but soon he was convinced
there was no joke, and now instead o1
throwing a heavy guard around th»
cattle one of the men simply rides
around for about *-alf an hour anf
sings and the cattle go to sleep.
“Friends living in eastern state:
and in England who have never visit
cd a ranch often have asked m abou
the mode of the cowboys' dress. The
fringed 'chaps’ are not worn in Texas
as a usual thing The romantic-look
ing cowboy with the white or blacl
hairy ‘chaps.’ a long, dangerous-look
ing dagger and a large caliber revolv
er stuck In bis belt is a thing of the

man. It is against the law in Texas
for any one to have any kind of a re

person, in his belt or in a bolster at

RICE DISHES.
Rice being a starchy food, takes the
place of potatoes, and is much easier
digested, as there is less of the cel
lulose in the rice. It is an ideal food
and in combination with meats, eggs
or milk, forms a balanced ration, a
perfect combination of proteid. fat and
carbohydrates.
In many of the eastern countries
rice is the main article of food, and
if the endurance of the Japanese is
due largely to their food, it proves
to be a valuable one. One of the char
acteristic dishes of our own country
in the south is the Creole Jambalaya.
It is prepared with all kinds of meats,
fish and fowl; the only Invariable in
gredient is the rice, the other things
vary according to the supply on hand.
The following is a recipe right from
the creole cuisine:
Cut a pound of fresh pork into dice
and chop two onions fine. Put a large
tablespoonful of sweet lard into a deep
saucepan, and when hot add the pork
and onions, and let them cook brown;
Chen add a pound of chopped ham and
a quarter of a pound of Vienna sau
sage. Next add a bay leaf, a sprig of
parsley, two cloves and salt and two
quarts of soup stock or water. When
boiling hot add a cup of well-washed
rice. Boil until the rice is tender,
stirring frequently. Serve very hot,
seasoned with cayenne and chili
sauce.
Another favorite combination fa
mous in the south is red beans with
rice, prepared as follows: Soak over
night a pound of red beans, then sim
mer for four hours in two quarts of
water; add a tablespoonful of but
ter. a small onion, minced, half a red
repper (the hot variety), and continue
the simmering process for two hours
longer. Serve with boiled rice. This
is a balanced ration.
Escalloped rice with onions makes
a most appetizing dish. Put a layer of
cocked rice into a buttered dish, add a
layer of parboiled onions or chopped
uncooked onion, bits of butter, a few
dashes of salt and pepper, then more
rice until the dish is full. Bake until
the onions are tender. Turn out on a
platter, surround with sausages and
serve.
Rice with cabbage, rice with tomato,
rice with curry or parsley are a few
of the many combinations which may
be used.
IFE is a voyage. The winds of
life come strong
1 rom every point; yet each will speed thy
course along:
If thou with steady hand when tempests
blow
Canst keep thy course aright and never
once let go.

WAYS OF USING THE ANCHOVY.
This dainty little Mediterranean
herring Is most delicate eating and
adds a zest to any dish to which it is
added. They are immediately pickled
or salted as they are taken from the
water, and come to us in many dif
ferent preparations: The anchovy
paste, which is useful in many ways,
as a flavor to macaroni or salad, es
sence of anchovy also used as a flavor,
anchovy butter, anchovies pickled and
in oil. and simply salted: they are
every one most appetizing. When
serving cod or white fish with a
white sauce, a little anchovy essence
adds greatly to the flavor of the dish.
Added to a plain batter sauce It makes
a decidedly different dish.
Olives stuffed with anchovies are
most dainty and zestful as an accom
paniment to a salad.
Anchovies a la Millionaire.—This
recipe, which the name indicates. Is
not for every day use. but is certainly
one worth having for a state occasion.
Tbi$ may be served as a canape.
Prepare seme neat squares or rounds
of toast, butter them and spread thick
ly with the following paste: Stir in
a double boiler the yolk of an egg.
two tablespoonfuis of butter and two
teaspoonfuls of anchovy paste, a tea
spconful of mushroom catsup, six
olives finely chopped, and half a cup
of cream. Cook together until smooth.
Be careful not to let It boll, then
spread over the toast. Over this heap
a half cup of whipped cream and gar
nish with halves of anchovies boned
and soaked in milk. Lay the strips so
that the ends meet at the top. Either
serve at once or chill and serve cold.
Canapes of Anchovies.—Have some
round pieces of bread cut with a bis
cuit cutter and fried in deep fab Chop
fine some hard-cooked eggs, season
with chervil and chives. (Chervil
looks much like parsley when grow
ing, but has a characteristic flavor.)
Place the chopped eggs and herbs in
a dish and mix with a little mayon
naise. chopped olives, pepper and salb
Spread this mixture on the bread and
lay strips of anchovies lattice work
fashion over them. Garnish with pars
ley and serve.

THE USEFUL TRAY.
The revival of the tray, and its
many uses as a labor saver, would
make a long story. The tray of
greatest importance is the invalid’s
tray, and now one sees such beautiful
ly matched sets of china for the inva
lid’s tray that being served in bed
need be only a pleasure. The tray
may be as rich and expensive as one’s
purse permits. Those of some rare
old embroidery or dainty design in
chintz, framed in mahogany, are very
choice and delightful to possess, as
they may express one’s individuality;
such a tray need not be expensive, wd
will be a joy forever. The little use
ful bedroom tray is common to all.
holding the matches, candle stick,
pitcher and water glass. This may be
of china, with the articles to match.
Those of glass may be kept bright and
shining on a tray of nickel or silver.
The breakfast tray is a great fa
vorite abroad, and is becoming more
and more popular here.
The maid in a small family finds it
especially helpful, as she may carry
the tray with the breakfast steaming
hot. and go back to her work without
a dining table to set and clear away.
On days of extra work an hour in the
morning thus saved is a great help
towards the day's labor.
For a Sunday night supper or for a
midnight lunch there is nothing so
useful as a tray. The arrangement
and placing of all the food and dishes
can be quickly done and a chafing dish
l of a cup of tea or cocoa finishes the
j service, which may be carried to the
living room or library and there
served.
There Is the nursery tray with un
i breakable dishes which may be thrown
on the floor without injury. These are
[ decorated with Mother Goose designs.
Then the soup set with tray is another
I which is well liked.
The bread and milk set has its own
tray. For the little folks this is very
popular.
Napkins to use with a tray should
be small.
A large tray, not too large to be
! cumbersome, is a great step-saver in
| clearing and laying a table. One or
two trips from the kitchen and pantry
will carry much that is used.
Economy should be used in saving
time and strength as well as in saving
money.
We want to get the maximum com
fort from the minimum labor, and we
hai! any device or advice which will
help us to meet that end.

dinner.
SOME RICE DISHES.
Rice is not costly; it is very whole
some and nutritious and may take the ;
place of potatoes most satisfactorily. j
Rice With Tomato.—Prepare rice by
washing and adding a cupful to two
quarts of boiling water. Cook until
tender, then add a cupful of tomato
stewed and seasoned with a little
sugar; add salt, pepper and thicken
with a tcaspoonful of flour cooked
with one of butter. Mix with the rice
lightly, not to break it or make it
mushy, and bake in the oven for
twenty minutes.
Rice With Cheese.—To one cup of
boiled rice add one-half cup of grated
cheese, a little butter, one-half cup of
sweet cream. Season with salt and
pepper and bake in the oven until firm.
Rice served with chocolate sauce is
well liked by many as a dessert. An- I
other sauce is nice rich grape juice.
Rice Custard.—Add a cup of boiled ,
rice to a rich custard made with a |
pint of milk, one-half cup of sugar and
the yolks of two eggs. Cook in a
double boiler, flavor when cool, mix 1
lightly with the rice and mold. Serve I
cold.
Another rice custard is made by I
putting the boiled rice into the eggs
and milk before cooking, and bake the
custard.
Rice and Stuffed Onions.—Cook un
til tender four good-sized onions and
one and a half cups of rice. Remove
the centers from the onions and fill
with buttered crumbs. Bake until
brown. Pile the rice on a dish, place
onions on top. and serve hot.
Rice With Curry.—Boil three-fourths
of a cup of rice in salted water until
tender, then pour into a bowl that has
been rinsed with cold water. Let
stand a minute then invert on a plate.
Sprinkle with curry, dot with bits of
butter and serve.

Professor Munyon is a living embodi
ment of the cheerful creed he preaches.
Virile, well poised, active and energetic,
i he looks as thoug 1 he would easily at
tain the century age limit which he de
clares Is the norma, one. He said:
"I want the people of the world to
! know my opinions on the subject of
i health, wtdch are the fruit of a life-time
i devoted to healing the sick, people of
America. There isn't a building in this
city big enough to house the people in
this State alone who have found health
through my methods. Before I get
through there won't be a building big
enough to house my cured patients in
this city alone.
*'I want, most of all, to talk to the sick
people—the invalids, the dlscourag-d
ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body
racking diseases and ailments—for these
are the ones to whom the message of
hope which I bear will bring the great
est blessing.
“I want to talk to the rheumatics, the
sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones
afflicted with that noxious disease, ca
tarrh. I want to tell my story to the
women who have become chronic in
valids as a result of nervous troubles. I
want to talk to the men who are ‘all run
down.' whose health has been broken by
overwork, improper diet, late hours and
other causes, and who feel the creeping
clutch of serious, chronic illness.
“To these people I bring a story of
hope. I can give them a promise of bet
ter things. I want to astonish them by
1 showing the record of cures performed
i through my new system of treatment.
"I have taken the best of the ideas
from all schools and embodied them in
a new system of treatments Individually
adapted to each particular case. I have
i no ‘cure alls.' but my present method of
attacking disease Is the very best thought
i of modern science. The success which I
I have had with these treatments in this
city and all over America proves its effi
; cacy. Old methods must give away to
| new medical science moves. I know what
my remedies are doing for humanity
everywhere. I know tvhat they will do
' for the people of this city. Let me prove
my statements—that’s all I ask.”

Clarence is a darby who is as proud
of piloting Mr. Hillside's costly auto
mobile as Mr. Hillside is of owning it.
“Well, Clarence,” said a neighbor, “I
saw you in tbe Taft parade, but you
didn't have the president in your car,
I I noticed.” "Xo. sir,” the chauffeur
j answered. “I didn't have the presi
dent, but I had a reporter, and 1
reckon Mr. Taft might have talked up
there on the hill all night long and no
■ body in town would have knowed
about it next day if it hadn't been for
me and that reporter.”—Exchange.

Twice Convicted.
Another lawyer's story arrives. We
are told that a man was charged with
picking a pocket the other day and
, that when arraigned he pleaded
. “guilty.” The case went to the jury,
however, and the verdict was "not
guilty.” And the court spoke as fol
lows;
“You don't leave this court without
a stain on your character. By your
own confession you are a thief. By
the verdict of the jury, you are a
liar."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Uncle Mose. a plantation negro,
was being asked about his religious
affiliations.
"I'se a preacher, sah,” he said.
“Do you mean.” asked the aston- •
lshed questioner, “that you preach the
Gospel?”
Mose felt himself getting into deep
water.
“No, sah,” he said. “Ah touches
that subject very light”—Success

A LADY LECTURER
Feeds Nerves and Brains Scientifically.
A lady lecturer writes from Philadel
phia concerning the use of right food
and how she is enabled to withstand
the strain and wear and tear of her
arduous occupation. She says:
“Through improper food, imperfect
ly digested, my health was complete
ly wrecked, and I attribute my recov
ery entirely to the regular use of
Grape-Nuts food. It has, I assure you,
proven an inestimable boon to me.
“Almost immediately after beginning
the use of Grape-Nuts I found a grati
fying change in my condition. The ter
rible weakness that formerly' pros
trated me after a few hours of work
was perceptibly lessened and Is now
only a memory—it never returns.
"Ten days after beginning on Grape
Nuts I experienced a wonderful in.
crease in mental vigor and phvsical
energy, and continued use has entire
ly freed me from the miserable in
somnia and nervousness from which
I used to suffer so much.
“I find Grape-Nuts very palatable
and would not be without the crisp
delicious food for even a day on any
consideration. Indeed, I always carry
it with me on my lecture tours.”
