Wholesome Potatoes. Potatoes cooked in their skins are much more wholesome and digestible than those cooked without. They may be baked or steamed; in either case u hole should be made in them, that steam may escape in cooking, and thus prevent the skin from bursting. The most nourishing part of the pota to is immediately under the skin, so that when we peel them we remove the Ix-Kf part. ■M; Store Closes at 5:30 P. M.

I If was one of those primitive shows where the stage manager comes befort ttie footlights without a coat and waist coat and with his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows to announce the next number of the programme. | “Miss Bertie Allendale,” remarked the stage manager, appearing in one | of the interludes, “who has entranced two hemispheres with her wonderful | vocal powers, will now render in her I illimitable style that exquisite vocal selection entitled 'Down In the Val ley.' ” A gentleman in u red flannel shirt rose in the midst of the audience and exclaimed in an impressive bass voice: “Oh, thunder! Bertie Allendale can’t sing for green apples!” The manager, who had started to leave the stage, halted and turned. An ugly light flashed from his eye. He came down from the stage, wnlked slowly up to the man in the red shirt and said. “You’ll git out of here.” This invitation being declined, a combat fol lowed, lasting about ten minutes. Chairs were broken, and both combat ants were bruised and battered. Final ly the man In the red shirt was ejected, and the manager walked back to the stage and faced the audience with a bloody face and clothing torn and tat tered. He waited a minute. Dumping j ills traveling carriage was stopped by : a man on horseback, who put his head In at the window and said, “I believe you are Lonl Berkeley." “1 am.” "I believe you have always boasted that you would never surrender to a single , . highwayman.” "I have.” "Well,” pre- j \ seating a pistol, "I am a single high wayman, and 1 say, ‘Tour money or your life.’ ” “You cowurdly dog.” said Lonl Berkeley, "do you.think I can’t see your confederate skulking behind you?” The highwayman, who was really alone, looked hurriedly round, and Lord Berkeley shot him through the beud. I asked Lady Caroline Masse (1803-1880), who was bom a Berkeley, If this story was true. I can never forget my thrill when she re plied: "Yes. and I am proud to say ilint I am that man's daughter!”—Col lections uud liecollectlons. Eugene Field's Breakfast, j Eugene Field, sad of countenance and ready of tongue, strayed into a Denver restaurant and seated himself at astable. To him there came a swift and voluble waiter who said, “Coffee, tea - chocolate- ham -’n’ -eggs-beef-steak mutton - chop - fish- balls-lmsh-'n’-benns,” and much more to the same purpose. Field looked at him loug and solemnly and at last replied: “Oh. friend, 1 want none of these things. All 1 require Is an orange and a few kind words.” Montaigne on Death. I have often considered with myself whence it is that death should appear less dreadful in war than at home in our own houses, f believe in truth that it Is those terrible ceremonies wherewith at home we set it out that more terrify us than the thing Itself— the cries of mothers, wives and chil dren, the visits of astounded and af for breath, and then announced im pressively: “Nevertheless and notwithstanding. Miss Bertie Allendale will now sin* her exquisite vocal selection entitled Down In the Valley.* ’* And she sang it with great applause and an encore. RECESSIONAL. God of o«r fathers, known of old.

J^ord God of Hosts, bo with us yet, Lost we forget—lest we forget! Far called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire. Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not thee In awe— Such boasting as the gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Leih we forget—lest we forget!

Lord! Amen. —Rudyard Kipling. Who la It? Miss Maude Adams has a favorite story about u "Miss Johnsing" amt "Culpeper Pete.” ’Pete became enamored of the dusky maiden nnd, not having the courage to "pop” face to face, called up the house where she worked and asked for her over the telephone. When he got her on the lino he asked: “Is dat Miss Johnsing-:” "Ya-as.” “Well, Miss Johnsing, I's got a most Important question to ask you." “Ya-as.” “Will you marry me?" "Ya-as. Who is It, please?” , Senses on Fortitude. To win without dunger Is to win without glory. Y’ou are a great mail, but how am I to know it if fortuue gives you uo opportunity of showing your virtue? Y’ou can judge of a pilot in a storm, of a soldier In a battle. How can I know with how great a spirit you could endure poverty if you overflow with riches? How can I tell with how great firmness you could bear up against disgrace, dishonor nud public hatred If you grow old to the sound 'of applause, if popular favor men'll menus, me anenuuuce oi paie and blubbering servants, a dark room set round with burning tnpers, our beds environed with doctors and priests, in sum nothing but ghostliuess and horror round about us. We seem dend and burled already. Happy the death that leaves us no leisure to prepare things for all this foppery. | Edison’s “Fake” Cigars. I Mr. Edison once complained to a man ' in the tobacco business that he (tbe.ln 1 ventor) eouiil not account for the rapid ity with which the cigars disappeared from a box that he always kept in his ofllce. The "Wizard" was not inclined to think that he smok 'd them all him self. Finally he Hsked the tobacco man what might be done to remedy the sit uation. The latter suggested that he make up some cigars—“fake" them, in other words—with a well known label on the outside. ••I’ll fill ’em with horsehair and hard rubber,” said be. “Then you’ll find tlmt there will not be so many miss ing.” “All right,” said Mr. Edison, and he forgot nil about the matter. Several weeks later, when the tobac co man was again calling on the In ventor, the latter suddenly said; “l,ook here! I thought you were go ing to fix me up some fake cigars!” “Why, I did!” exclaimed the other in hurt surprise. “When?” “Don’t you remember the flat box with a green label—cigars In bundle form, tied with yellow ribbon?” Edison smiled reflectively. “Do you know,” be Anally said In abashed tones, “I smoked every one of those ci gars myself!”—Saturday Evening Post.

How Prunes Provide Their Own Sweetening—Effective Way to Hang Pictures—Soda and Water Good for Kitchen Floor. Need No Sugar.—How many house wives know that prunes require abso lutely no sweetening; that if they are cooked slowly for “hours and hours’ there is sugar from them that nature provides as a sweetening. In other words "they sweeten themselves,” and if cooked iong enough are covered with a rich syrup, without one grain of sugar being added to them. 1 he flavor Is also improved by this method ot cooking them by the oftentimes despised prune sauce becomes an en joyable addition to the table. Picture Hanging.—Too iittie atten tion is generally given to tbc hanging of pictures. They should be hung as nearly vertical fiat against the wall as possible, and not tipped forward at various angles with the wall. 1 he best effect Is given by using two hooks, so that two vertical lines of wire ap pear instead of the triangular piece resulting when but one hook is used. The effect is more restful in a room where the pictures are lnmg verti cally. Kitchen Floor Cleaner.—So many people find it hard to keep their kitchen floors In good condition that method may help them* Wash with soda and water. After sprinkling about a heaping teaspoonful of soda on any grease spots, pour boiling wa ter over it, then take a mop and wipe up the whole floor. This Is far more satisfactory than scrubbing,vfor it will take out'grease spots without the use of "elbow grease.” This will also keep the floor snowy white ns well as clean. Don’t Use Sdap.—Never use soap when cleaning oilcloth. It fades the colors, and the paint will soon wear off. Ammonia should also ho avoided, because it gives a dull appearance. Take a clean flannel cloth and apply warm water. The oilcloth should then be wiped off with a dry cloth. Skim milk is excellent lo use. and will give, the oilcloth a gloss. If a brushes used it should he a soft one, but It is better not to use any. Care of Rubber Shoes.—To make rubber shoes wear longer, from the tops of old rubber shoes cut pieces the shape of a heel. Smear these pieces on the iiiring side with thick mucilage, or any sticky substance, and place in the heels of rubbers, pressing down firmly. These protectors prevent the rubber from receiving the direct pres sure of the boot heels, and can be renewed when they show the least signs of wear. < Cleaning Furniture. — Furniture needs cleaning as much as other woodwork. It may be washed with warm soapsuds, quickly wiped dry and then rubbed with an oily cloth. A good polish is made hy mixing three parts of linseed oil and one part of spirits of turpentine. Apply with a woolen cloth, and when dry rub well with a dry woolen cloth. This is especially good polish for scratched or marred furniture, and will restore the color and luster to varnish. WHEN YOU CLEAN THE STOVE. Some Simple Observances That Will Lighten Labor. The kitchen sIqvc can be cleaned with newspapers; but when cleaning do it thoroughly. Many tops of stoves receive a dally polish and yet the aides arc covered with dust and grease. Let the oven be i horoughly cleaned with a hi-ush kept for that purpose, then nicely washed, nun your bread and cake will have a purer flavor. Never leave dust or grease remains of former baklngH on your oven doors. A newspaper will remove all of these; a wet cloth will complete the clean ing.
