My father also says that love and
liquor make a man see things that

Itnown men who saw pink elephant!,
sitting on the mantelpiece making
faces at them, and men who, when
they were In love, couldn't tell the
difference between a red-hended freckl

a woman and Lillian Russell.
My father says that when a man's
drunk he always wants to confide in
you, and that he takes you by the
buttonhole and holds you until he
tells you the story of Ills life, and that
when he's In love he does Just the
same way, only he tells you how won

when you see a man coming whome
you know, who Is either in liquor or
in love, the only safe thing is to run
the other way as bard as you can.
And my father says that after a
mnn has been drunk he wakes up the
next day with an awful bead and a
dark brown taste in his mouth, and
he wonders why he did it, and my
faiher says that after a man gets
married ho hns about the same sort

Ladies do not get drunk, and when
they fall in love they Just cry on ev

they are engaged, and they spend
their time writing letters to the gen

tbe man leaves a cigar stub on the

It must be awful nice to have some

COOKING RECIPES,
Boiled Salmon.
Housewives sometimes wonder how
It is possible to ship salmon from Its
home in Columbia river half way or
poslbly all the way across the con
tinent and have It reach the table ap
parently so freBh. Refrigerator cars.
It Is well known, are used in trans
porting It, but it may not be general
ly known that in transit to the At
lantic coast it is packed and repacked
in fresh cracked Ice three times, which
accounts for its arriving at Its desti-!
nation in perfect condition. It is said ;
that the salmon is the cleanest of fish,
never staying in a polluted stream. I?
Ihc stream becomes unclean, it leaves
at once.
As this iisli is more solid and dry
then many it is better for steaks and
xoi boiling than for baking and chow
ders. For boiling salmon, sew it in a
white mosquito Siting bag and boil a
quarter of an hour to the pound in
salted water. Unwrap with care and
place on a hot platter. Prepare a cup
ful of drawn butter with lemon juice
and chopped parsley and pour over.
Garnish with thin slices of lemon and
hard-boiled eggs.
