The price of sausages has been advanced by the beef
trust. This is no great loss. The sausage of today is stuffed
with flannel rag and beef gristle and bears about as much
resemblance to the bursting, sizzling sausage of the fathers
as an Indiana novel does to ''Our MutualTriend."
There is a bunch of real estate activity a'long Mount
Curve avenue that makes old residents who have been hold

Just what Rojestvensky's policy is does not yet appear,
but it is likely shortly to become as quarrelsome as a policy

Upper Hennepin avenue residents are again suffering

The Menominee Times man wishes to be called by his
first name. says:
There is something in being called by your
first name that strikes down into the center of
your heart and stirs up a warmth that is good
to feel. "Hello, Jack," or "Hell o, Bill," seem
to carry a spirit of democracy that is good.
There is too much red tape in practice* Mr.
does not appear on our cards.
What has become of the men who, in the early days of
the republic, used to sit around and whittle? Either they
had more time then or life was not so strenuous as at the
present day. The probabilities are that the growth of the
trusts has killed the whittler. If he attempted to carry on
this occupation today some trust would have his pelt nailed
iQ the liarn before sundown. Joplin, Mo., however, is brag
ging about a judge named Pepper who preserves that good
old fashion of slicing a' stick of soft pine as a diversion.
whittles habitually while sitting on the bench conduct of
trials, and by adjournment time the floor of his rostrum is
covered with fragrant shavings.
This shows that the good old customs are not dead but
merely dormant. When Bryan is elected there is likely to be
a sudden outburst of Jacksonian whittling that the
.shavings will make a white trail three times around the
earth.
The Lidgerwood, N D., Broadaxe tells of a Dutchman who
refused to pay 35 cents fare to Hankinson. stated that
before he would pay more than 25 cents he would get off
and walk. The conductor stopped his tram and put him off.
The Dutchman ran ahead of the engine and started to walk.
The engineer began to blow the whistle. The Dutchman
said:
"You can vissle all you vant to, I von't come pack."

EDDING clubs have of late been formed among the
working girls of a number of Pennsylvania manufac
turing towns. One of these girls described a wedding club
jfyesterday.
A wedding club," she said, "is built on the plan of a
watch club. All the members pay in so much a week, and
I each member, when she comes to get married, is entitled
to draw out of the treasury enough to give her a grand
^end-off. She has a fine, magnificent wedding, and at thjs
gjsame time no scrimping is needed, no borrowing, and no
running into debt.
"To belong to a wedding club you only have to be un-
"married and of good character. Your weekly dues run from
5 cents up to 50 centsyou can pay in according to your
meansand of course, when you draw out for your wed
ding, what you get is regulated by what you have put in.
I mean by that that a girl who has been putting in 50 cents
I a week will draw out for her wedding ten times more money
than a girl who has only been putting in 5 cents a week.
That stands to reason, eh
I "Our club'has thirty members. I has been running
*!|two years, and seven girls have gotten married out of it.

AY!" and the Old Settler looked up from the
religious exchange he was slowly perusing,
"That's a good word. What is W'y 'Th
Word in Season's' printed in this paper
Say! D'ever't strike you that the feller't

Well, he is' 'n't's mighty few of them fellers 's thinks they

ever do I mean by the 'word in season'? W'y jest this.
Somepin 's up to ev'rybody to know, 'n' nobody don't

'N'f'hadn't a been fer the writ -word in season, I'd a had

TTRESS CLEANING.How often should a mattress
be cleaned? Can you give me any hints in regard to
the care of a good mattress?Ignorant.
Mattresses should be dusted daily, for dust seems to go
to them and cling to them as if by some curious law of at-
traction. They should be thoroly gone overtaken apart
and cleaned, inside and out^ that isat least once in three
years oftener, if possible. Every good housekeeper cleans
bed, springs and mattress as regularly as any other part
of her house, but comparatively few realize how important
it is to ha^ their mattresses opened and cleaned periodi
cally. ^f

ONE KIND O SOCIETY.
RS. GEORGE E HEATON of East Oakland, who was
her husband's co-laborer in the building of the
Heaton airship, said |he other day:
I like to have a multitude of good friends, and I like
to see my friends often. Society, however, as the term is
generally understood, I object to. I object strongly to inter
course with people whom I don't admire, who only try to
outdo each other in extravagance and display, and who only
try to snub each other. I would much rather give my time
to wtfrk.
"Society," continued Mrs. Heaton, "is epitomized in an
incident that occurred the other day.
A millionaire's wife sat in her dressing-room with a
friend when the cards of two other millionaire's wives were
brought to her. She tore the cards in little pieces.
'TeU these ladies,' she said haughtily, 'that I am not
at home.'
"The maid withdrew with the message, and a little later,
on some other errand, returned to the room.
'Jane,' said her mistress, 'di you tell those ladies I
v.as not at home?'
'Yes, mum,' Jane answered.
'What did they say?'
'They said, "JIow fort'nit."
A PRECOCIOUS SPORTSMAN.
*T E Americans are great sportsmen," said Sir Thomas
1 Dewar, in recounting his impressions of America.
"From their earliest years they take a consuming interest in
all sorts of contests and races.
I remember, one cold afternoon in New York, seeing a
poor little ragged lad with his nose glued against the window
of a toy-shop. I stopped beside him and looked down. Bu
he paid no heed to me. Hi clear young eyes were intent on
the window's bright and inviting contents.
"Without a word I slipped a penny into his cold little
hand. looked at the penny, and then he looked at me.
'Well, if this ain't luck,' he said. 'I've been wishin'
for a cent, and here's one dropped right in me fist.'
'What did you want the cent for, my lad?' said I.
"The urchin answered:
I wanted to get a night extry to see wot's won. I'v
got a dollar on Swallow in the third race.'
AN ATTACK ON MEDIEVAL CHIVALRY.
ARK TWAIN dislikes the novels of Walter Scott.
thinks that the spirit of chivalry that these novels
inculcate is a bad thing for modern times.
"It was a silly age, the age of chivalry," said Mr. Clem
ens not long since. "Its thoughts were silly, and its customs
were silly. I like to see it held up to ridicule, not to ad
miration.
I am in sympathy, therefore, with a remark that old
George Carter once made. George was smoking his pipe by
the kitchen stove while his daughter read aloud a historical
novel about Richard Coeur de Lion.
'Then the noble knight threw his glove in the face of
the craven earl," read the young woman.
"George looked up, interested.
'What did he do that for?' he asked.
'T insult him, of course,' said the reafler.
"George chuckled.
'Well,' said he, in a superior tone, I think that there
would have been more sejise in his conduct if he had kept
his- fist in the glove at the time of throwing it.
What the Market Affords.
S
TRAWBERRIES, 17 cents a quart.
Junket tablets, 10 cents a package.
Shelled walnuts, 35 to 40 cents.
Asparagus, 10 cents a bunch.
Fresh mushrooms, 50 cents a pound.
French canned mushrooms, pound cans, 35 cents.
Watercress, 5 cents a buneh.
Butter, creamery, 32 to 35 cents.
Eggs, 18 cents.
Milk, eggs, the lighter cereals, and fruit are the best in-
gredients for spring desserts. Junket is a milk preparation
that is both delicious and wholesome and very easy to pre
pare. I is made by warming new milk slowly until it be
comes lukewarm, sweetening and flavoring. I it is to be
used plain, stir into it one dissolved junket tablet or three
fourths of a tablespoonful of liquid rennet pour at once
into sherbet glasses or the glass dish in which it is to be
served. Set away to cool, being careful not to disturb, as
the milk coagulates quickly, and if shaken the curd and
whey separate and spoil the appearance of the dish. The
cups or dish can be garnished with fruit or whipped cream,
the latter sometimes being tinted. The junket also may be
colored by putting coloring in the milk before adding the
jennet. To make a strawberry junket, let the milk thicken
in a single dish to serve, put alternate spoonfuls of junket
and. of sliced and sweetened strawberries in sherbet glasses.
Heap whipped cream on top and put one fine large berry in
the center.
A delicious wafer to serve with this and other light des
serts is made of walnuts.
Break two eggs into a bowl, add one cup of granulated
sugar and stir well. Mix in thoroly one cup of chopped
English walnuts and three-quarters of a cup of sifted flour.
Drop on buttered pans, allowing plenty of room for them to
spread, and bake in a quick oven until a delicate brown.
THE CABLIST'S FINE JOB.
4 A a cablist," said the well-dressed gentleman in the
1 cafe. I belong to one of the finest callings on
earth. I travel around the world as the spirit moves me I
draw a grand salary, and I don't average more than six
hours' work a day.
"Young as I am, I have worked in Marseilles, Brest, Lon
don, New York, Lisbon, Havre, Alexandria, Aden, India,
South America and the west coast of Africa.
A good cable operator you know, can work anywhere. Hi
company will shift him wherever he wants to go in reason,
or he can give up his job and travel to another cable station
independently, assured of picking up on his arrival another
good place.
"Cabling is hard. You work in black darkness. The
messages are transmitted Jo you in flashes of light. You
read these flashes as a land operator reads his ticks.
"Cabling is difficult because, on account of its expense,
every patron of it uses some sort of cipher. You don't
send messages that say, 'Will be delayed in town over night.
Don't worry, John,' or 'Please send five hundred at once.'
The messages transmitted by cable run 'Bangyhyl 217 akc
125 wz, or 'Corrupt say heave indent there boo.'
"Cablists, in the most outlandish quarters of the globe,
have comfortable homes provided by the companies, with
reading-rooms, tennis, a big library, and sometimes even a
billiard-room. They live, as it were, in a luxurious club, and
all the time they are saving mbney, for, the further from
civilization you travel, the lower your living expenses fall.
"My uncle, a cablist, helped to cable from London to New
"Marconi, I suppose, will some day put the cablist out of
business. That day, tho, won't come in my time."

SOLD OL SAFE WITH
RICHES IN IT FOR $29
New York Sun Speoial Service.
New York, April 26.Karl Praenklo
sold an old safe for $29 on Saturday.
The man who bought the safe and
carted it away made one of the greatest
bargains on record. For inside the safe
was $20,000 worth of stock of the Cen
tral Brewing company, much valuable
jewelry bequeathed to Mr. Fraenkle by
his wife, and a collection of old coins
one a U. & silver dollar of 1794,
worth several hundred dollars. The
forgetful Mr. Fraenkle also forgot to
give the combination of the safe to the
man who bought it. But from the mo
ment the safe left bis possession until
today Fraenkle rushed frantically
around this city yelling, figuratrvely,
"New safes for old. Then by good
luck he found the safe and still locked
in it were his stock, jewels and coins.
