In Story and SongMemory-Treasured Moment*
Spent in the Editorial Booms of the Anoka Union.
HE sun was gilding the asphalt at 3 p.m. on
Thursday and throwing a glory like a coat of
yellow paint on the hot side of the office. The
first newsboy was opening up like the frightened
baby at midnight, "All about the bloody murder and
the hatchet steeped in gore." "Copy" was being
torn off "the force" like porous plasters from a/
convalescent relative, when Editor G. S. Pease, suffer
ing from an attack of that emotional insanity which
expresses itself the desire to do something for
others, appeared in Fourth street from Anoka with
a large palpitant automobile and an expansive smile
and pulled the office.
The chauffeur made the eloquent gesture. There
was a little dust to the rearward and tne usual per
fume and lo, Anoka' On the way there were real
cows eating oS the scenery, potato fields so
gorgeous that they took away the power of expression,
"wheat set in the soil as thick as hairs on a dog, gar
den tnick flowers^ _an insane asyluin, blue sky, mos
quitoes, little girls from school, and the rare perfume
of the open fields.
Anoka boasts a state insane asylum that recalls
a Millet canvas complicated by a Hogarth engraving.
You must take care to distinguish carefully between
this-^institution and the Anoka Union office. The
former is located somewhat to the north of the latter.
It is as clean and attractive as a home and as com
modious as a summer resort. A cursory examination
makes a man feel that he doesn't miss much in Minne
sota by going plumb crazy.
The first thing that attracts the eye in the Anoka
Union office is a rare piece of antique mahogany
furniture calculated to give collectors an attack of
the twitters. There it stands in the next room to the
typesetting machine, the cases and the power press.
Uncle kept a close watch on us here.
Then we chuchued thru the city of neatly-kept
homes, set each in its acre or quarter-acre lot, until
we could thoroly understand why the Anoka Union
threatens to lick any ham actor that refers slight-
"With, sugar syrup bottled for use, and
the various fruits which are available
at this season of the year, it is not a
difficult matter to quickly make a
punch or lemonade with variations
which is not both cooling and delicious,
without recourse to liquors or wines.
Syrup, says Good Housekeeping, is es
sential both as a time-saver and as a
preservative of that crude flavor which
necessarily resultB when the fruit
juices and the raw sugar are mixed,j
and not permitted to stand at least
twelve hours. The sugar, whether made
into syrup or ajlowed to stand with the
fruit juices, becomes ehemically
changed, and unless this change is
made, a smooth blend is never secured.
'Four cups of sugar should be used to
four cups of water in making the
syrup, and after boiling for ten min
utes, it may be strained and bottled
for future use. It is well to make
eight cups at a time and to keep in a
cool, dark place, where it Aeed not
spoil. Should a thin growth of mold
appear on the top, heat and strain thru
cheesecloth and bottle as before.
For mint punch, remove from one

Girl of Seventeen.
Dear Miss Lee: 1 am a girl of 17
years of age, 5 feet 5 inches tall bust,
26 waist, 23 hips, 33 am a blonde and
have a clear complexion. How can I
arrange my hair, which is not very
thick or very long, becomingly? How
long should my dresses be worn? I
would be glad for your advice regard
ing how I should have a white linen

Miss J. L.
and half a oup of sugar, until the
sugar is dissolved. Add the mint, pour
over it one tablespoon of pure cider
vinegar or lemon juice. Add one cup
of currant juice or one glass of currant
jelly and water to make one quart. If
currant jelly be used, omit the sugar
wholly or in part.
Delicious fruit punch is made in the
following way: Reserve one cup of
whole berries 'from a box of straw
berries. Crush the remainder, add 1%
cups of sugar and let them stand sev
eral hour,s. Strain and add the juioe
of one orange and four lemons with
more sugar syrup if required. For serv
ing, dilute with three pints of cold
water and add one pint of Apollinaris
with the whole berries.
Currants furnish a nice foundation
for another punch. With a wooden
spoon crush one quart of red currants,
add one pound ox loaf sugar and two
-tablespoonfuls of fresh ground vinegar.
Let this* stand over night. Strain and
add the juice of one lemon and one
quart of cold water.
Another recipe directs that 2* cups
of sugar ayrup, one-half a cup of rasp
berry vinegar be added, two cups of
orange juice and three-fourths cup of
tea infusion. Serve with crushed ice.
linen suit, my advice would be a box
pleated skirt, the pleats stitched well
below the. hips and a Norfolk jacket
pleated back and front and stitched to
a very short yoke cut into tabs on its
outer edge. This yoke should not ex
tend to the bust, but be quite short.
Finish the neck with a flat band of pale
blue linen trimmed with rows of white
soutache braid, and have coat sleeves
ending in cuffs to match the collar. The
belt may be of the blue linen, and while
the model .may not sound particularly
alluring, it really is the most becoming
to you that I can suggest. Your dresses
should reach your shoetops.

Later in the evening we tore home again in the

ours after this.
Speaking of potatoes, there is a report in Anoka
that the new denaturized alcohol law is likely to
result in a valuable industry. Freezing potatoes de-'
stroys their starch-making ability, but it is said that
it does not interfere with their alcohol-producing
powers. If this proves to be the case, it will be a
valuable card for Anoka, whose soil leakB' potatoes at
every pore.
It is not our place to tell just whose business it
is to keep the roads leading into Minneapolis in shape,
but whoever he is, he must be traveling in Egypt and
the Holy Land at the 4 present time. The A.noka road
is said to be one of the best, but in places it resembles
a cross between a plowed field and a San Francisco
earthquake. Farmers can hardly be blamed for going
around by Shakopee, Glencoe and Faribault and doing
their trading in St. Paul.
Dr. Archibald Church, alienist, who was called
this week by the Voliva faction to testify as to Dr.
Dowie's sanity, was put thru the traces by the cross
examination Of the Dowie lawyers and finally admit
ted that he thought Moses, the ancient Hebrew law
giver, if he claimed to see a burning bush that was
not consumed, was insane. The wiliness of this plan
of attack is, of course, plainly to be seen. If the
jury is at all orthodox, Dx. Church's testimony as to
Dowie is put to the bad.
After the alienist had pronounced Dowie insane,
Attorney Haley, Dowie's counsel, asked a long, hypo
thetical question, describing the life of Voliva, altho
Voliva's name was not mentioned. 9
Dr. Church declared he would regard the mind of
such a man with suspicion and that he would not trust
him with management of a great amount of property.
Attorney Healy then asked a hypothetical question
based upon the vision of Moses and the burning bush.
The court instructed the attorney to eliminate the
name Mioses,'' and the attorney asked the same
question, using the word *'individual'' for the name
Moses.
"Is such a man insane?" the question concluded.
I should suspect his mental integrity," replied'
the alienist.
I reply to another hypothetical question Ir Church
said:
A individual who believes he is under mystic
or divine direction, and who believes that this direc
tion dominates his life, is insane."
Testimony like this would have made grandpa hop
around like a chicken standing on a hot nail and
personally, we are sometimes tempted to believe
that all alienists are insane, their insanity consisting
in a fixed idea that everybody else is a little started
somewhere. A. J. R.
WBONG WAT TO WOBK.
B. WILSON, secretary of the United Mine
Workers, was talking about business success
in Scranton. "Success is largely a matter of intelligence," he
said. "We are all industrious enough to succeed. Tt
is lack of discretion rather than lack of push that
keeps us back.
"So many men work stupidly, like the boy in
the drugstore.
There was a boy clerking in a drugstore to whoni
the druggist said:
'You swee^ and clean well, but you're not as
good a salesman as you should be. Ta be a good
salesman you must push things a bit. Call each pa
tron's attention to some article he ne*eds. Thus you
may often effect an extra sale.
'All right, sir,' said the boy.
"And that afternoon he said to an elderly lady
who had come in after a stamp:
"Anything else, ma'ami Hair dye, cosmetic,'wrin
kle remover, face powder, mole destroyer, skin re
juvenator, flabby
"But with an exclamation of annoyance the el
derly lady hastened out before the alert boy was
nearly thru his catalog of the articles -he thought
Bhe needed."
STOBY OF A STOBY.
ICHABD HAKDING DAVIS' literary success was
sudden and overwhelming. "Gallegher," his
first and most famous story, appeared in one promi
nent magazine in a certain month, and two other maga
zines each printed in the -same month a tale by the
young man. Thus his triumph was threefold.
Mr. Davis' father was the late L. Clarke Davis,
editor of a Philadelphia newspaper.
"Yo ur son has made a great hit," a Philadelphia
journalist said to the editor upon Gallegher's" ap
pearance. 'Gallegher' is a fine story. A remark
able Story for a new man to write. Perhaps, tho, you
had a finger in the pie?"
'Yes, of course,' Mr. Davis agreed. 'That goes
without saying. I, you see, am the author of the
author.'
WHAT WOMEN SHOTJI-D SNOW
To remove stains on blankets and
other white woolen goods, use a mixture
of equal parts of glycerin and yolk of
egg. Spread it on the stain, leave it
for half an hour, then wash the article
as usual.
The upper parts of worn-out boots
make excellent iron holders' The
leather needs only a thin covering so
that it does not soil the hand, which
it will protect from heat far better
than would an iron holder made in
the ordinary way.
To clean alabaster, remove ordinary
dirt by washing with soap and water
but if any part is stained, wash it with
soap and water, cover it with whiting
and leave it for some hours. Then
wash off the whiting and rub the part
where the stains were.
If the moths have gotten into the
carpet it must be taken up, thoroly
shaken and tressed with a flatiron as
hot as it will bear without scorching.
Then liberally sprinkle the floor where
it is to lie with spirits of turpentino,
pouring it into any cracks there may
be between the boards.
To clean a copper kettle, first rub it
with a cut lemon dipped in powdered
bath-brick. When all sjtains are re
moved, wash it in warm, soapy water,
then dry and polish it with powdered
bath-brick and a soft cloth. Pow
dered bath-brick, mixed to a paste with
oil, may be used instead of the lemon.
HOUSEHOLD KNOWLEDGE
Pour a few drops of ammonia into
every greasy roasting pan or greasy
cooking dish after half filling with
warm water. A bottle of ammonia
should always he kept near the sink
for such uses. Never allow the pans to
stand and dry, for it doubles the labor
of washing, but pour-in water and use
ammonia, and the work is half done.

No. 12Playing Dummy in a No Trumper.
(All Rights Reserved.)
If the adversary opens a suit in which you are
able to win the lead either in the dummy or your own
hand, do not play hastily you should first consider
carefully the following points: Which is the longest
and best suit for you to play for from which hand
you can open that suit to the best advantage so as to
make any necessary finesse and which hand is* the
more likely to need the high card of the adversary's
suit later, as a re-entry with which to make his own
suit.
Should none of these considerations seem important,
it is usually* better to play low in dummy and capture
with your high card whatever cardHhe third hand may
play. You will thus find out how much help third
hand can give his partner, and often will be able to
win the trick with one of your smaller cards, thus
adding to the value of your hand.
Eleven Rule in Playing Dummy.
In'a no trump there are many cases where the rule
of eleven is of value to you when you are playing the
dummy. For example: If an eight is led and the ten
lies in dummy, while you hold king and queen sub
tracting eigltt from eleven leaves three there are but
three cards, outside of the leader's hand, better than
the eight, therefore the ten played from dummy's hand
will win the trick 'and save the king and queen for a
defense against that suit. Or, if the positions are
reversed and the ten lies in your own hand, while
dummy holds the king and queen, it is not necessary
to play either king or queen, as your ten must win
the trick.
When the adversary opens the hand with the nine,
eight or seven, your first thought should be to use the
rle qi eleven and see how many higher cards there
are outside of the leader's hand, and then, if possible,
with your own and dummy's holding, take advantage
of the situation.
Holding Up Aces.
When the adversary opens a suit in which you hold
the ace, but no possibility of ever winning another
trick, you had better not play the ace at once unless
you are ready to take enough tricks to make the game
without interruption. If your long suit is not estab
lished, or, when a finesse must be taken, you should
hold up your ace until the adversary on your right has

A DOG TAILOB
An English girl with a desire for
pin money and a bump of originality
has taken advantage of the society
woman's fancy for dressing up her dog
and is making a name for herself at
dog tailoring. The pampered dog of
fashion has a complete trousseau, with
all sorts of coats and collars and blan
kets, and this clever young woman has
become quite the monitress of fashion
able dogdom. It is she who conceived
the idea of having the dog's satin bow
to match his mistress' gown, and her
jaunty coats of leather, tweed and fur
are enough to make the neglected
little tramp cur howl with envy. His
tory does not relate whether the ca
nine customers appreciate their tailor
as much as do their mistresses, but as
vanity is no uncommon quality ameng
animals, no doubt they admire their
smart clothes immensely, altho they

i* This holding up of the ace in a no trump applies
equally well when playing against the dummy. The
4- "principle is this: Hold up the ace oi an adversary
i long suit until the other adversary is exhausted, so
that, should the short hand get the lead, he will have
no card of his partner's uit to lead to him.
Suppose dummy hag. a long suit and no sure
re-entry, and you are playing against him. Do not be
in a hurry to play your ace of his long suit. Wait
and see if you cannot block the whole suit by holding
off until the dealer is exhausted.
Or, if dummy has an established suit and his only
possible re-entry is a guarded king or queen, should
the dealer lead a high card in the suit in which dummy
has the possible re-entry, do not play your ace until
dummy's high card falls: then, having no re-entry,
his established suit cannot make.
In a declared trump hand it is dangerous to hold
up aces, as they are likely to be trumped but if all
the trumps are played, you may then play the hand
like a no trumper.
It is seldom wise to refuse to take tricks with
kings or queens, either when you are the dealer or
when playing against him. Hand 11.

one of the most exquisite effects to be

countess always was luxurious in her
tastes, even before she became the
bride of rich Mr. Kennardher third

Trick OneDealer, having but one possible trick
in the heart suit, holds up his ace in order to exhaust
pone.
Trick TwoDealer still holds up. It is impossible
for him to know that pone is out.
Trick ThreeEast, the leader, knows the dealer has
the ace of hearts, but there is nothing to lose by going
on, and to change suits is dangerous, as he may lead
into the dealer's hand.
Trick FourDealer leads clubs, having the sequence
from king to eight keeping the spades as sure re
entries. Pone holds up the ace of clubs until the
dealer is exhausted.
Trick FiveDealer leads the four of clubs, to con
ceal the nine, overtaking the trick in dummy so that
pone may think he has no more and give up the ace.
Pone is not sure the dealer has no more clubshe
may be trying to deceive himso he refuses to play
his ace.
Trick SixTt is useless for dummy to establish a
suit where he has no re entry, so he tries for the spades.
Trick Six'-Pone refuses to cover for fear of mak
ing the ten of spades a re-entry in dummy's hand.
Trick Seven'Pone plays queen to prevent another
finesse, and thereby makes one of his spades good.
Trick NineDealer continues spades in order to
make his last one should he again gain the lead.
Trick TenP/one leads low diamonds, trying to put
his partner in to make his heart. Dealer covers with
the king, it being his only chance to gain the lead
if east has the ace of diamonds he would not be obliged
to play it, as dummy has nothing of any vdrue.

Something New in Civil Service Rules

supported that the United States civil
service commission is no more than
human.
It wants shapely girls in the gov
ernment employ, if girls must be em
ployed. Let a girl be ever so bright
and ever so capable and ever so finely
educated, and yet fail to meet the
physical proportions required by the
commission, and she is marked down
to a point where it will be a long, cold
day before she gets upon the payroll of
your Uncle Samuel.
Now here is the case of Miss Dana
L. May, a resident of Ann Arbor, Mich.,
a graduate of the state normal school
at Ypsilanti and of the Ann Arbor high
school, who has passed the highest
scholastic average ever made by any
one who has taken the civil service
examination, and yet is marked 'way
down into the jungle of mediocrity,
where she will never get a job because
she happens to be too wide for her

is as active as any girl. iJut becaus
she is somewhat ample and not ver

she did not know enough to come in

She stood 100 in nearly everythi
