"A good soup is half a dinner."
It is a good dinner that
begins with a good soup.
Soups often lack richness
and delicacy of flavor, a
fault easily remedied by
using a teaspoonful of

MILLIONS OF WORKERS OUT.
One of the greatest labor strikes yoa can pos
sibly imagine Is that which takes place In your
body when you eat improper food. Your body la a
workshop and In it are millions and millions of
workers?tissue builders. In the stomach alone
there are more than five million of these workers,
whose business It is to devise the means to build
the body. If the food y?m eat la of a poor quality
these five million toilers?these five milllous of lit
tle microscopic pepsin makers?strike, and millions
and millions of other tissue builders in other parts
of the body also strike through sympathy. They
may strike for but a short time, but it is long
enough to throw a lot of the delicate aud intricate
machinery In that wonderful workshop of yours out
of repair and cause all manner of trouble.
The way to avoid labor strikes in the body is to
supply that vast horde of artisans which build it
with proper food material, anil for this purpose
there is nothing so good as Shredded Whole Wheat
Biscuit, the only naturally porous food made from
wheat. It Is light, crisp, wholesome and can be
digested with ease. Shredded Wheat makes rjeh,
red blood?blood that makes strong men, women
and children.
"I have used Shredded Wheat Biscuits in hos
pital practice and find the results highly satisfac
tory. They are especially beneficial in cases of in
digestion, complicated with constipation."?Albert
A. Taft, M. I)., Carney Hospital, Boston, Mass.
"As a digestive, and in cases of chronic consti
pation and dyspepsia, Shredded Wheat acts as one
of the very best remedies I have ever prescribed."

As the longboat Peri.' loaded with cord
wood. was on t.er way up the river yester
day afternoon she ran ashore on the flats
near the black buoy ott Fort Foote wharf
and remained hard and fast aground for
several hours, until the rising of the tide
floated her and she was enabled to come
on to this city. No damage was done the
Peri, as the bank on which she lay was
composed of soft mud.
It is now stated that the steam yacht
Erl King, lying at the 10th street ice
wharf, is not the largest yacht that has
ever visited this city. The Waconta, be
longing to J. J. Hill; the May, belonging to
Mrs. Van Benssaler; Howard Gould's Ni
agara and E. C. Liee's Sagamore are all
larger and have been in port here within
the last three or four years.
The warm weather of the past two days
has made the fish market on the wharf very
dull, and while the receipts of fresh flsJi
have been light the demand for them has
been lighter.
The promise of cold weather has prevent
ed any slump in prices.
The oyster market, too, has been very dull
for the past two or three days, although
there are a large number of oyster-ladeii
boats at the wharf. Many of the boat own
ers are holdln'g the stock waiting for a bet
ter market.
Some few ducks are being received by the
dealers, but they are poor in quality and
are selling at low prices.
The dredging machine which last week
completed the digging out of the docks of
the naval battalion boats is now at work
deepening the water on the upper side of
T. K. Riley's wharf. The water on this
side of the wharf has been so shoal that
only small boats could go into the dock.
The steam yacht Valcorer. belonging to
Representative Sibley, left port Saturday
and returned to port Sunday night with
her owner and a party of irlends aboard.
The dredga Dewey of the Sant'ord Brick

Attempted to Hang Himself.
Andrew Johnson, colored, who resides
near the corn?r of 9th street and Grant |

wife Saturday night and was arrested by
Policeman Burllngame. He was lodged in
a cell in the eighth precinct. About 7
o'clock the foHowing morning Policeman
Norrls found the man preparing to hang
himself with his suspenders to the ceil
door. He was accordingly kept under
watch until he was conveyed to the Police
Court. Hearing of the case was postponed
until Thursday.
overhung the bank, some thirty yards
away. But even as she thought it, the j
hand left her hair and closed about her !
wrist.
"No cause for knife-play or leg-play,
either, my hawk," the gruff voice rebuked
her. "To no one are we more anxious to
show friendship than to Canute's ward;
and you act like no true man if you can
not, when occasion requires, leave off your
high-born ways and be a plain comrade
among plain men."
Again a murmur approved Ills words;
"That is well spoken. Frode of Avalcomb
would be the first to thank us for teaching
it to you." ? ? ? "He carried no such
haughty head, young boy. I fought more
than one battle at his heels." ? * ? "Come
on, now!" ? ? ? "Make haste! We want
to get Into place before they come to land!"
This time it was not a shadow, but a
sparkle of sunshine that mocked in Ran
dalln's ear: "You have not dared to be a
woman, so you must dare to be a man."
She acknowledged the pitiless truth with a
sigh of submission.
"Take your bands oft me, and it shall be
as you wish." '
The big Swede released her wrist to catsh
her around the waist and toss her like a
bone upon the platter of his shield, which
four of them promptly raised between
them and bore along, laughing uproariously
at her sprawling efforts for dignity. When
they came to a spot along the bank which
was open enough to give them an unob
structed view of the Island, they permitted
her to scramble down and seat herself upon
the grass, where they ringed themselves
around her, twenty deep.
"Now for it! While they arc waiting for
Edmund to land; before there Is anything
to watch." the Scar-Cheek commanded.
"Tell wl at you told Canute with regard to
the English king which made him so reck
less as to agree to this bargain."
There was nothing for it but obedicnce.
A flower In a thicket of thistles, a lamb In
the midst of wolves, she sat and watched
the tipping of the scales that had her for
tune among their weights.
A shout from the surging mass of English
opposite told when the Ironside had landed;
and as soon as it was seen whom he had
chosen to accompany him as his witness a
buz* of excitement passed along the Danish
line.
"Edric! by all the gods, Edrlc Jarl!"
"Now, for the first time, I believe that
victory will follow Canute's sword!" Brass
Borgar ejaculated. "Since nothing less
than the madness betokening death could
cause Edmund to continue his trust In the
Gainer, it is seen from this that he Is a
death-fated man."
Table and Kitchen.
The Sandwich, Chief Reliance of Cold
Lunches.
Closely following the different lines of
cookery, it Is interesting to note the com
paratively recent rise of the sandwich to Its
present well-established position as an im
portant social as well as commercial fac
tor. in polite society as in the great world
of little leisure and much wprk.
There is no culinary preparation so con
venient for the traveler, the business man
or woman whose noonday lunch must be a
side issue requiring scjnt consideration on
their part, or for serving as a dainty, at
tractive form of light Upjfreshment that may
be eaten while held In"-the hand.
The sandwich, accoijbing to well-authenti
orjlli
cated history, was no# of plebeian and ob
scure origin, as the rfiiroad lunch counter
specimen would lead ?|s to believe. Indeed
no, for was It not th? great Earl of Sand
wich who bethought" Blm of this easy and.
satisfying way of appeasing an appetite?
not over dainty and delicate, we are fur
ther told, that was sharpened with hunger
of long fasting on the then long Journey
with coach and four from his country to his
London residence.
How this portable and substantial meal of
bread and meat came to be the piece de re
sistance of the quick-lunch counter, the
boon companion of the "sinker" ad ubiqui
tous pie. Is uncertain history, although the
result of such a combined diet would seem
almost a dead certainty. Little change or
improvement has been wrought In the lunch
counter variety, but some one quick to see
the dainty and useful possibilities of even
so unpromising a subject, when, were it
placed under the easeful manipulation of
the skilled culinary artist or one combining
K'KKl taste with that fine understanding of
delicate and suitable consortments, started
the original American sandwich on Its
course of evolution, and up from the two
slices of buttered bread or split, doughy
bun, and a slice of meat, it has rapidly
progressed to Its present state of perfection
and deservedly popular place.
The sandwich may be made up of sudh
elements as constitutes a very comfortable
meal for travelers, workers or outing par
ties; or It may be a trine light as air. a
sweet or a dainty morsel, to be enjoyed or
toyed with at some social function where
eating is but a mere pretense at best.
But whatever the occasion or demand,
they must be well and acceptably made and
attractively served.
If for a traveler, they are cut In plain !
shape, square or oblong, the crust removed, j
neatly wrapped in paraffin paper and pack
ed in a pasteboard box. The folding, paraf
fin-lined biscuit and cracker boxes make ]
th6 best and most convenient receptacles for I
sandwiches and should be saved for this
purpose.
Bread for Sandwiches.
This is the first important item. White,
entire wheat. Boston brown bread, or tiny
rolls, may be used. The bread must not
be too fresh, but somewhat set. at least a
day old, and fine grained. The smaller
loaves cut to best advantage and do not
give so much waste In trimming into shape.
The crust must be removed, and it is ad
visable to do this and cut the loaf into
shape, unless round sandwiches are desired, '
before the slices are cut. Tlien the butter,
which must be fresh, sweet and sofe enough
to spread evenly, may- be spread over the
surface before cutting hft the slice. In this
way no butter is wasted, and there is less
danger of breaking errcrumbling the slice,
and neatness, daintiness 'itnd delicacy must
be the watchword. .Cut the slice an eighth
of aji inch thick. Even .thinner slices are
required if the sandwich Is of the sweet or
der.
Finger and little French rolls q,re suitable
for sandwiches. They must be fresh and
have a very tender crust, as this is not re
moved.
Many prefer to make the bread for sand- I
wiehes, using narroW'. oblbng bread tins, or,
for round slices, baking'-powder boxes an- !
swer nicely, especially for steamed brown
bread; there being' fid hard crust, these
loaves need no trlrmnfrig.
The shape of the sandwich may be ac
cording to fancy, }>ut rhe most common
forms are small Squares, triangles and
small rounds. A large Slice of bread will
cut four squares, three pblong sandwiches,
or four triangles; the Sjnaller loaves gen
erally used cut a large square, two oblong
or two triangles.
The Butter.
Any suitable flavoring or seasoning may
be mixed with the butter before spreading.
Pepper, mustard, onion juice, lemon juice,
horseradish, or any table sauce used for
meat sandwiches and various suitable fla
vorings with sweet sandwiches.
The sandwich butters now so generally
used are by heating butter to a smooth
cream and mixing with mustard, parsley
minced, tarragon vinegar, pate de foie gras,
anchovy, lobster, shrimp, sardine, etc. Or
they may be combined with finely minced
meat or fish and spread over the bread, or
the bread very lightly spread with butter
and tiny, crisp lettuce leaves placed be
tween the bread and the paste. French and
mayonnaise or boiled dressing may be used
in making of salad sandwiches, which are
very popular and delicious.
Cheese, eggs, all kinds of poultry, game
meats, shell fish and fish can be used.
The Sweet Sandwich.
These are classed with esthetic and 5
o'clock tea sandwiches. The bread must be
sliced very thin for these, the sandwiches
very fresh and very dainty, and served on
daintiest china with most delicate napery.
The same kinds of bread are used, but not
rolls. All kinds of jam, jelly, preserved,
canned and candied fruits, some fresh
fruits?not too juicy?and chopped nuts are
used for sweet sandwiches. For the 5
o'clock teas you must observe the English
custom and use butter only, and that fla
vored with perfume of fresh violets, rose
leaves, clover or nasturtiums. Also these
sandwiches must be very, very thin.
The suggestions for making are almost as
limitless as are the combinations and list
of materials. All the inventive hostess re
quires are the few general rules; then her
success and glory lies in creating a new 1
kind of sandwich.
Olive Sandwiches.
Scald and stone large Queen olives, chop
From the others there came a volley of
epithets, so foul a flight that the girl's
knuckles whitened in her struggles to keep
her hands down from her ears. A picture
rose in her mind of Sebert's dream-lady,
passing her waiting-time among soft-voiced
maids, and her heart turned sick within
her.
It was little time that the pack gave her
fop revery, however; now it was Edric Jarl
of whom they wanted to hear.
"While they are talking about the terms
there is nothing to look at; tell us how the
trainer^ pulled the net around King Ed
mund, the rough voices demanded. And
again she was obliged to bend her wits to
their task.
But it came at last, the end that was the
beginning. Suddenly a hand reached
around her neck and shut over her mouth.
I ook!" T'1Sy arft taking their places.
He need not have aMed the last word;
from that moment Cor many thousands of
eyes there was but'?rie object in the world
?the striu of rock-rfbtied earth ajid the
two figures that far-ed each ?ther upon it.
As they fixed thelis gaze on their cham
pion. the English yelled texultantly, and the
Danes bravely rivated rtiem In noise; but
it was more a cry e/ Titge and grief than a
cheer. Now that lh$ ce^al duellists stood
forth together, stripped of cloak and steel
j shirt, and wearing po other helm than the
golden circlet of their rank, the inequality
was even more glaring ftian alarmed fancy
had painted it. Tho crown of Canute's
[ shining locks reaclj^j only to the chin of ?
the mighty Ironside; ajid the width of near- '
ly two palms was needtd on his shoulders.
Borgar turned, wiffi tears in his bleared
eyes, and threw liimfeelf'face downward on
the earth; and the fellow next to him. with
I the mien of a madman, thrust his mantle
! between his teeth and bit and tore at It
like a dog. "It is murder," he snarled,
murder."
Of all the Northmen, the young king
alone appeared serenely undisturbed. When
he had saluted the Ironside with royal
courtesy, he met his sword as though he
were beginning a practising bout with his
foster-brother. Smoothly. evenly, without
haste or fury, the blades began to sing their
wordless song to the listening banks.
After a time Borgar dared to raise his
face from the grass.' "Is he yet alive?" he
whispered.
The men d!<l not seem to hear him.
Humped over the earth, with starting eyes
and necks stretched to their uttermost,
they were like jso many holders. Nor did
Frode a daughter seem to feel that the

For Sweet Sandwiches.
Chopped English walnuts and raisins
upon was crushing her foot; she did not
even glance toward him as she answered:
"Simpleton! Do you think the king does
not know how to handle his weapon? If
only his strength "
Her sentence was not finished, and the
man next to her drew in his breath with a
great whistling rush. Canute's weapon,
playing with the lightness of a sunbeam,
had evaded a stroke of the great flail and
touched for an instant the shoulder of its
wielder. Had he put a pound more force
into the thrust . A groan crept down the
Danish line when the bright blade rose, as
lightly as it had fallen, and continued Its
butterfly dance. It consoled them a little,
however, that no cheer went up from the
English?only a low buzz that was half of
anger, half of astonishment.
Farther along the eastern bank, where
Thorkel the Tall stood beside I'lf Jarl and
Eric of Norway, there was not even a
groan. The first rift came In the puzzled
clouds of Eric's face. "Here is the first
happening that makes me hope!" he said.
"If he has something more than his fencing
accomplishment to support him. It may be
that an unfavorable outcome need not be
expected."
The Tall One's brows relaxed ever so
little from their snarl of worry. "The boy
has experienced good training, for all that
he has at present the appearance of a great
fool. If Rothgar's warrior skill is in his
arm, yet my caution should be In his head.'"
Certainly there was no Berserk madness
about the young Danlshman; there was
hardly even seriousness. Now his blade
was a fleeing will-o'-the-wisp, keeping Just
out of reach of Edmund's brand with ap
parently no thought but of flight. Now.
when the Ironside's Increasing vehemence
betrayed him Into an Instant's rashness, It
was a humming-bird darting into a flower
cup. But It always rose again as daintily
as It hud alighted.
The Dauisn bank was frantic with ex
citement. "It is the dance of the northern
lights!" they cried. "Thor has sent him
his own sword!"
The lines of English were wild with
anger. "Crush him. the hornet, the wasp!
Crush htm.-Edmund!" they roared.
In his exultation, the Scar-Cheek rolled
himself over and over on the grass, and
wound up by thrusting his shaggy head
into Uie lap of the red-cloaked page. "I
must do something; for Joy," he panted;
"and?except for your hair?you look near
enough like a handsome woman. Do you
bend down and kiss me every time Canute
pricks him."

"If you lay finger on me again," she
whispered, "I will caress you with this!"
and for an instant a knlfeblade glittered
before the bulging eyes. Snorri rolled back
with alacrity and an oath; and after a mo

and hid her face In her hands. If the king
should be slain and she be left adrift In
this foul sea! She might as well have
screamed as moaned, for ail that they
would have noticed.
About this time Canute's blade appeared
to have become in earnest. Ceasing its airy
defense, it took on the aggressive. Instead
of a flitting sunbeam, It became a shaft
from a burning glass: instead of one merry
humming bird, it became a whole swarm of
skimming, swooping, darting swallows,
waging war on a bewildered owl. Before
the sudden fury of the onslaught, Edmund
gave back a pace. And either because his
anger-made him reckless or his great bulk
was against him. he presently was forced
to draw back another step. Wildest cheers
went up from the Northmen. It seemed as
though they would wade In a body across
the river.
only Eric of Norway stamped with
uneasiness; and the overhanging brows
of Thorkel the Tall were as lowering
hoods above his eyes. "Well has he
hoarded his strength," he muttered. "Well
has lie saved it, yet?yet "
At that moment such a roar went up from
northern throats as might well have
startled the wolf's shadow off the face of
the sun; for Edmund Ironside had retreat
ed a third step, and the Dane's point ap
peared to lie at the Englishman's heart.
Then the uproar died somewhere in mid
air, for in what seemed the very act or
thrusting, Canute had leaped backward
and lowered his blade. So deep Wiis the
hush on either side the liver thai the whir
of a bird's wing sounded as loud .us a flight
of arrows. Bending forward, w.th strained
ears and starting eyes, the spectators saw
that the northern king was spe iking,
eagerly, with now and then an impuls.ve
gesture, while the English k ag l;stened
motionless.
"Has he got out of his wits?" the Sear

"Oh. yes. I've opened an office." said the
young lawyer. "You may remember that
you saw me buying an alarm clock the

From the English shore there went up a
Joyful shout of "Peace!" And a deafening
clamor rose in answer from the Danish
hank. But what sentiment predominated
in that. It would be difficult to say. Blend
ed with rejoicing over their k ng > safety,
were cries of bitter disappointment, the
cries of thirsty men who have seen wine
dashed from their lips.
In their retreat, the two northern Jarls
and the young monarch's foster-father
faced each other uncertainly. "Here is mys
tery!" Eric of Norway said at last. "I
should Jje thankful if you would t41I me
whether he though It unwise to kill the
Englishman before the face of his army;
or whether he is In truth struck with love
toward him. as the fools seem to believe?"
"Or whether he had reached the exact
limit of his strength so that he was obliged
to save himself by some trick of words?"
Ulf Jarl suggested.
The Tall One shook his head slowly.
"Now, as always. It is he alone who can
altogether explain his actions. It might
easily l>e that in his mad Impatience he
overvalued his strength, so that lie was
obliged to stop short to keep within bounds.
But I think you will find that there Is still
some trick which is not open to our sight.
His man-wit Is deepening very fast: I will
not be so bold as to say that 1 can always
fathom it."
"Perhaps he thinks a short peace would
be useful to the host." the Norwegian said,
and laughed. "Such a truce Is as comforta
ble as a cloak when the weather is stark,
and as easy to get rid of when the sun
comes out."
By their faces, the others appeared to
agree with him: but before they could ex
press themselves, a swimmer rose like a
dripping seal out of the water at their feet.
"Peace and division again!" he cried
breathlessly. "And it Is the king's will that
you get into a boat and come to him at
once."
The rush of the crowd to the water-side
to question the messenger gave Randabn her
chance for freedom: and she was not slow
in taking it. A moment more, and she w is
in the very top of the willow-tree, clasping
her hands and wringing them in alternate
thankiaglvlng and terror.
"Whatever it bring upon me. I will get
back to my womans clothes." she vowed to
herself over and over. 'Though It become
a hindrance to me. iho.tgh It be the causa
of my death. I will be a woman always.
Odin forgive me that I thought I had cour
age enough to be a man!"
