LCopyright, M07, by C. H. Sutcliffe.
When Mr. Bowser reached home the
other evening ho was carrying a hat
box with numerous holes punched in
the cover, and as ho carefully set it
down in the front hall, with a com
placent smile on his face, Mrs. Bowser
queried:
"A new hat, eh? What style is It?"
"Never mind the style until after din
ner. It's ready, I suppose';"
"Yes, but you have half a dozen hats
around the house already. Why did
you buy a new one?"
For reply he laughed and led the
way down to the dining room. He was
in groat good nature, but he refused to
answer any questions touching the hat.
Mrs. Bowser finally decided In her own
mind that it was a hat he had taken
down to bo pressed and reshaped, and
the meal had been half finished when
something like a scream was heard
from upstairs, and with a "By thun
der!" on his lips Mr. Bowser rose up
and dashed from the room. She fol
lowed him, and what she saw ou reach
ing the front hall was the. hatbox be
ing rolled over and over on the floor by
the cat. while smothered screams came
from the Interior.
"You villain, I'll have your life!"
shouted Mr. Bowser at the cat as he
rushed forward.
"For mercy's sake, what have you
got in that box?"
"None of your business! It's come to
a pretty pass when I can't bring a box
"the noire was the bantm boosteb
CKOW1KG IN HIS BOX.
into my own house 'without a curious
woman and a yaller eyed old cat rais
ing a ;ow about it. By the seven bulls
of Bashan, I'll have that cat's lifo
before he is two days older!"
Heard a Queer Noise.
The box was placed on top of the
bookcase in the sitting room, the cat
was hunted into -the cellar, and the
Bowser family went back to their
meal. Mr. Bowser was mad. and Mrs.
Bowser didn't think it politic to say
anything further, and so there was
very little conversation going. For
twenty-five minutes after going up'
stairs nothing was said about the box
Mrs. Bowser heard a suspicious
scratching from the interior and
thought of pet rabbits, coons and foxss,
but made no inquiries. At length Mr.
Bowser sat down and took the box on
his knee nnd said:
"There is no great mystery after all.
There was a farmer in the office a few
days ao, and bo was telling me about
his bantam chickens. I was Interested,
nnd today he sent me a rooster as a
present. It is here in the box."
"A rooster!" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser.
"Why on earth should, he send you a
rooster?"
"Oh! Then it is the most wonderful
thing that ever happened, is it? If a
fanner wants to present me with a
bantam rooster, I don't see anything so
very paralyzing in the fact."
"But what can you do with It?"
"He said he firmly believed I could
teach it to talk If I would spare a little
time. Parrots talk, and I know of no
reason why roosters shouldn't. If I
could be the one to bring out a talking
rooster. It would le n thing that all
natural historians would sit up and
take notice of."
! "Let's see him."
Li, 'ted Out a Rooster. ,
Mr. Bowser removed the cover from
the box and lifted out a bantam rooster
I about as large as a turnip. The bird
had been sadly ruffled by his roll on
the floor of the hall, but when he had
been smoothed down a little he pluck
ed up courage and uttered a' defiant
crow. It was a smiill rooster, but a
Mg crow. It rang shrilly through the
! room, piercing the ears like the sound
of a saw striking a nail in a board,
and. while It made Mrs. Bowser cringe,
i It brought a smile to Mr. Bowser's
', face.
; "Ever hear a parrot get off anything
i like that?" he asked. "I believe, with
! the farmer, that this bird can be
taught to talk. There was something
like human speech in the last notes of
his crow. I will place him on the chair
, here and give him a first lesson. We
i will begin by giving him a simple
word. We will name bim Dick, and I
will repeat Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick,
Dick, Dick"
"Dick" was Interrupted right there
by the cat. He had sneaked upstairs
to see what, was going on, and the
sight of a cbicken standing on -a chair
and peering about under the rays of
eho gaslight was too much of a tempta
tion. He bounded forward and seized
the bantam In his mouth nnd would
have been off with him had not Mr.
Bowser made a quick kick.
"By all the horn spoons ever made,
there will be murder done In this
house tonight!" he exclaimed ,ns he
held the rooster up to view.
No harm had been done. The little
fellow was game, nnd he crowed again,
while the cat, realizing that his oppor
tunity had come and gone, fled away
to be seen no more during the evening.
"You shouldn't have brought such a
thing home," said Mrs. Bowser as she
looked from the bird to the feathers
scattered over the floor.
"What! I can't bring a bantam roost
er of any other kind of rooster Into
my own house? Explain that remark,
Mrs. Bowser. I want to know wheth
er I run this bouse or whether you and
that villainous old cat are bossing
things."
"You know that a cat will always go
for a bird." she replied.
"Then there'll bo no cat around here,
I'll break his neck before I sleep to
night." Mrs. Bowser wisely maintained si
lence, and after petting the bantam for
awhile Mr. Bowser got In better tem
per and observed:
"As I said at the beginning, I should
like to make an experiment on this
bird. I see no reason why he shouldn't
learn to talk. He looks ten times as
bright as any parrot I ever saw. If a
dunk headed old parrot can chatter,
this rooster ought to be able to delivei
an oration."
"But has a rooster the same sort of
tongue as a parrot?"
Mrs. Bowser Doubtful.
. "It is to be presumed so. Why should
nature give them different tongues!
An American has the same sort of
tongue as a Chinaman, hasn't he?"
"Well, you can experiment, and 1
wish you luck. I'll see that the cat is
turned outdoors, and you can leave yout
rooster In the box for the night."
Half an hour later the Bowsers went
upstairs to bed. Mr. Bowser had tak
en a deep scientific interest in the
rooster question, and he was repeating
the name Dick, Dick, Dick to himself
when he fell asleep. Two hours later
Mrs. Bowser awoke him with a nudge
and the exclamation:
"For the land's sake, get up! Don't
you hear that queer noise?"
"W-what is It?" he asked as he sat
up.
"It's either that all the water pipes
downstairs have burst or the furnace
is getting ready to blow up."
Three minutes later he was down
stairs, nnd the mystery was solved.
The noise was the bantam rooster
crowing in his box. He crowed as Mr.
Bowser stood and looked at the box,
and he crowed as the cover was taken
off. It was a crow so shrill that It
stopped pedestrians on the street.
"What is it?" called Mrs. Bowser
over the banister. "Don't you know
that people are stopping at the gate?"
"It's this Infernal little rooster!
There he goes again! By John, who
ever heard of a rooster crowing at this
hour of the night?"
"Perhaps he's learning to talk."
"And perhaps you get back into bed
and stay there!"
Crow Awoke Bowser.
There was another long, shrill crow
from the bantam, and then Mr. Bow
ser's fingers grasped his neck, nnd the
crow died away in a gurgle. The bird
was dead before the front door was
reached, and the three or four men at
the gate caught sight of a man on the
front steps as he gave the corpse a
fling Into their midst. Then the door
banged, and they said to each other:
"It's a rooster, and he must have
brought the old man down with his
crowing, but he didn't give the little
feller a fair show."
At the same time, upstairs in the
house, Mr, Bowser was saying to Mrs.
Bowser:
"I understand just how this thing
came about. You sneaked down while
I was asleep and stuck a hatpin into
that poor bird. In the morning, Mrs.
Bowser in the morning we will con
sult our respective lawyers and fix the
amount of alimony." M. QUAD.
SEASONABLE SOUPS.
At the Club.
w "
Tested P.ccipes For Cheap and Easily
Made Soups.
Browu Broth. Put two tablespoon
fnls of butter in a frying pan, add two
tablespoonfuls of chopped onions nnd
two of chopped carrots and cook until
a golden brown. Put these in a kettle
with n quart of boh.'ng water and a
bay leaf nnd simmer fifteen minutes.
Press through a sieve. While the soup
is simmering put about n tablespoon
ful of sugar into an iron saucepan nnd
when it browns and burns udd two
tablespoonfuls of chopped onions, then
two or three tablespoonfuls of water.
Add this to the soup, with a teaspoon
ful of salt and a saltspoouful of pep
per. Strain the soup, return it iid
let settle. Add half a pint of blocks of
bread that have beeu stirred up with
beaten eggs, bring to a boil and serve
with grated cheese.
Tomato Bouillon. Use one can of to
matoes, add a pint of water, a slice of
onion, a bay leaf, a little celery seed
and boil rapidly for ten minutes. Press
through a colander as much of the flesh
as possible. Add the well beaten whites
of two eggs, bring quickly to the boil
ing point, boil five minutes and strain
through cheesecloth. The fleshy por
tion of tin tomato that remains in the
cheesecloth may be put aside for fla
voring sauces. Reheat the bouillon,
add a cup of whipped cream and serve
at ouce with strips of toasted bread.
East Indian Soup. Put Into a kettle
a tablespoonful of butter, two table
spoonfuls of fine chopped onions, two
tablespoonfuls of grated carrots nnd
the same of grated turnips. Stir cure
fully for about two minutes, add n
quart of water or stock, a dash of red
pepper, a little black pepper, a table
spoonful of chopped parsley, a sliced
apple and simmer gently for fifteen
minutes. Add a tcaspoonful of curry
and four or five tablespoonfuls of boil
ed rice, which should be boiled while
you are making the soup.
Quick Turkish Soup. Stir a tcaspoon
ful of beef extract into one quart of
boiling water; add a tablespoonful of
grated onion and a saltspoonful of cel

celery tops chopped line. The green
leaves of the celery will answer the
purpose. Cover and boil fifteen min
utes or until the potatoes are soft.
While these are boiling put a pint of
milk in the double boiler, add a ta
blespoonful of butter and one of flour
rubbed together; press the potatoes
through a fine sieve, using the water
in which they were boiled; add this
mixture to the hot milk In the double
boiler. Stir until thoroughly heated
and serve.
Stands For Spools of Cotton.
Women who do a great deal of sew
ing will find a little stand to hold
spools of cotton a great convenience.
The only materials required are a
solid piece of wood perhaps an inch
thick and either round or square for
the base and either a knitting needle
or a round piece of wood some six
inches long for the upright piece. If
the needle Is used it can be forced Into
the wood of the base, but In case the
slender round piece of wood is pre
ferred it can be kept in place with a
screw or long tack. This holder has
place for three or four spools of cot
ton, which revolve freely when yon
take hold of an end of the thread and
begin to draw it off. The point of the
holder makes a convenient resting
place for a thimble. Of course if you
are of a decorative turn of mind you
will sandpaper your wooden base and
then paint or stain it.
How to Walk Upstairs.
A physician, describing how a per
son should walk upstairs, says: "Usu
ally a person treads on the ball of his
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome nnd wearing to the muscles,
as It throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should In walk
ing or climbing upstairs seek for the
most equal distribution of the body's
weight possible. In walking upstairs
your feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately. In this way
there is no strain upon any particular
muscle, but each one is doing its duty
in a natural manner." The doctor
might nave gone a little further in
the same line and protested against
the habit which many persons have of
bending half double when they ascend
a flight of stairs. ; f
MISS LOIS MAY ALDEN.
A Woman to Start Farm School For
City Wcifs.
To reclaim city waifs by transplant
ing them from the vitiating atmos
phere of the city streets into a farm
school is the attractive plan of a young
New York woman, Miss Lois May Al
den. If she is successful, hers will be
the first farm home school in the coun
try. In Warwick, England, such a
home has been started, and it has suc
ceeded remarkably well, drawing its
pupils from the worst sections of Lon
don. In order to become thoroughly con
versant with farming in all its branch
es Miss Alden has enrolled herself as a
member of the State Agricultural
school at New Brunswick, N. J., where
free courses in agriculture have been
recently Instituted. She is registered
both 'for the animal husbandry and the
market gardening and fruit growing
make it carefully,' and the best way to
make it Is the simplest. The following
is perfectly simple and satisfactory:
(Jet i. p'ut measure or larger tin, bcr.t
it' witn boiling water, put in one large
heaped up teaspoonful of ground coffee
to each person. Nearly fill with boil
ing water, place the tin ou the fire and
stir slowly until a creamy froth corner
to the top. Have a warmed jug or cof
feepot ready, into which pour the cof
fee slowly through muslin, even strain
Ing through a thick sediment which re
mains with the grains. Your eoTee Ji
then ready for immediate use and uiaj
be boiled up repeatedly without being
renewed. A very good tip when mak
ing a new brew Is to pour on the grains
the sediment nnd a little of the cold
coffee usually kept In the coffeepot and
thrown out by the maid. Even the
grains should not be wasted, as they
make excellent mold for delicate plants.
' :
Macaroon Whip.
Macaroon whip is simply and easily
made. Soak one-quarter of a package
of gelatin In one-quarter of n cupful
of cold water. Grate or crumble one
quarter of a pound of stale, dry maca
roons. Cut very fine one dozen can
dled cherries. Stand the gelatin over
hjt water until dissolved, then add to
it one cupful of very heavy cream with
half a cupful of sifted powdered sugar,
two tablespoonfuls of sherry and a
few drops of almond extract.
Watch closely and as soon as it
nhows signs of thickening whip the
whites of two eggs to a froth, add
them to the cream and whip the mix
ture until It is a solid froth. Lightly
mix in the macaroon crumbs and half
of the cherries.
Turn into a serving dish and sprinkle
the remainder of the cherrias over the
top. Keep very cold until served.
MISS LOIS MAY ALDEN.
courses nnd so far is the only woman
in these classes. For some years there
has been n government experiment sta
tion at this point, but not until now
have the special courses for students
been offered, and when several fine
buildings now under process of con
struction are finished the plant will be
quite complete.
Miss Alden-has bad this idea in her
mind since she was a small child, and
as she grew older it seemed to her the
only practical solution of the pfoblem
of what to do with the children of the
city's streets.
"I have always cherished a passion
for farming and also for helping friend
less and homeless children. To com
bine the two seems the most delightful
thing I could do," she said in speaking
of her plans. "Nature will do more In
a minute for these children than stereo
typed book instruction in a month. In
learning to love nature they will learn
to love one another. It is my plan to
secure a plot of ground somewhere
near a city where produce can he
raised and disposed of easily. There
farming and market gardening will be
taught. This will not only give the
children a home, but it will give them
a vocation. There is money In whole
sale gardening for those who prepare
for the work scientifically.
"There will be, first of all, an attrac
tive home life. Boys and girls will be
equally divided In numbers. They may
enter the home anywhere from twelve
to fifteen yeare old. A regular sched
ule will be carried out. There will be
studios in the morning and afternoon
relating to the agricultural course,
with practical demonstratl&is. They
will make their own gardens and take
care of the dairy, and there will be
instruction in animal husbandry on the
side. There will also be the household
duties, each child doing his or her own
share, in order to give them the idea
of the domestic side of farm life."

How to Keep Furs.
If garments are not cleaned before
they are laid away and there are moth
eggs in them, neither camphor nor any
other preventive will keep them from
developing and eventually destroying
the fur.
If furs are well brushed and freed
from dust, they need not be packed
away in any of the much used moth
preventives.
In packing furs away for the sum
mer they should first be well aired,
ilcaned and sunned or moths' eggs
that are not visible novV may develop
during, the hot weather.
The whipping of the furs should con
tinue until no dust arises. Then the
pieces should be put out in the sun
shine for a day or two and then beaten
ngtiln. ' . : ,.vi
If the lining Is soiled or worn, re
move it before putting the garment
way. :.."''. ' ' ' - '
How to Treat Sunless Rooms.
No one wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with such a room is a prob
lem that has bothered more than one
of us.
Many a woman has foregone inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low all the light possible to come into
the room, but still it looks dreary. It
is not as much the light that we need
ns the sunshine, and when this cannot
be bad we must make it, or, rather, get
the effect of it.
A room with a northern aspect should
not, of course, be papered in blue or
some such cold color, but rather in
rich, warm tone3 of olive, green, brown,
red or yellow. If the room gets but
little light and sunshine, yellow should
be our choice. Not only should we
have yellow on the walls, but also on
the ceiling, for the sake of the reflec
tion. A pretty treatment is to have n
light pumpkin yellow on the walls as
far as the picture molding and a light
er shade above this and on the coiling.
Then yellow silk sash curtains, pulled
back, tend to make a room sunny.
I Brass can make a wonderful differ
' ence to a dreary room. A large Jar
diniere with a plant in it placed in u
, dark corner will lighten up most mar-
velously. The andirons, too, will givo
a cheery reflection. Even candlesticks
help and little trays and bowls, be they
ever so small. The importance of
brass in a sunless room cannot be too
; strongly emphasized. Mirrors bright
en up, and so do some pictures, with
well polished glasses and glided frames,
but these little points are too seldom
taken into consideration. -
Do You Know
, That yon can make a faded dresa
perfectly white by washing it in boil
In;? water?
That fait, dissolved in alcohol, will
often remove grease spot3 from cloth
ing? That two potatoes grated in a basi;
of water will give better results than
soap In washing delicate flannel and
woolen goods, ribbous, etc.?
That piano keys can be cleaned, a
can any old ivory, by bein? rubbed
with muslin dipped in alcohol?
That a little thin cold starch rubbed
over windows and mirrors and then
wiped off with a soft cloth is an easy
way of producing most shinlug results'
Thnt hot milk is even' better than
boiiing water to take out fruit stains?
A Clotheshorse Hint.
Where there is very little room the
following suggestion will make a very
good substitute for that domestic ani
mal, the clotheshorse, which is easily
carried out by the home carpenter:
From the carpenter obtain several
dowels or white round sticks. At tht-j
hardware store get some brackets!
Place the brackets In a manner ta
bring the dowels across a corner of thf
kitchen, nnd on them the clothes may
be hung to air. During the week the
dowels may be removed and put away
in a corner or mny lie used to han?
dish towels to dry. This arrangement
does away with the dangling line that
is of great annoyance to the taller
members of the family.
The Dressing Table.
Simple little covers for the dressing
table are made of the mercerized
charibray that comes in such pretty
shades of pink nnd blue, and they
make an agreeable change from the
white ones in such constant use.
The cover is made just the size re
quired, with the additlou of four
inches all round, which is turned up
on the right side and hemmed down
by the means of further stitching done
in heavy white mercerized cotton. The
corners are mitered carefully so as to
be quite flat and are blind stitched
down.
Hair Gschets.
Scent sachets for use in the hair may
be easily made, nnd in this respect it
should be borne in mind that in shape
they should be very narow, not wider
than a finger, to allow them to be pin
ned beneath the coils before the hair is
dressed.- They shouid be covered with
lace net so that the hairpins may go
through them. In the center of each
place a tiny roll of cotton filled witb
the favorite sachet powder.
A Dry Shampoo.
Orris root powder dusted over the
hair is often a substitute for frequent
shampooing. Sprinkle the powder into
the hair and rub it well into the scalp;
then brush it out. Orris is one of the
few powders which may be used for
this purpose, as It will not stop tho
pores. It is cleansing and will give a
faint sweet odor to the hair.
Black kid gloves generally wear out
at the finger tips and then assume a
rusty brown tint, which is anything
but pleasant, although the other part
of the glove may be perfectly good.
When this happens, take a little black
ink, mix it with a small quantity of
olive oil and apply it to the finger tips.
Leave it until dry, and the gloves will
be very much Improved in appearance.
Photographs that have become soiled
or that are mounted on cards the
edges of which are broken may be
soaked off by placing them In water.
This cleans them, but does not injure
them in the least and after drying
thoroughly between blotters they may
be mounted again on new cards.
The Secret of Good Coffee.
The real secret of having good coffw
lies In two thingsbuy the best and
Kerosene rubbed into boots and
shoes which have been hardened by
water will soften them. Rubbing witb
a woolen rag saturated in kerosene
will also brighten tin and granite
ware.
