THE FARMINGTON TIMES, PARMINOTON, MISSOURI.
SHE WAS ARTISTIC i
By FRANK FILSON.
"Tub, ma'am, we can board you on
the farm if you don't mind eating
wllti HI and me and tbe blred man.
Six dollars a week, that's our price.
You thought it was nine? It used to
be nine, ma'am, bu that was when
I.inborough used to be artistic, and
when folks wants art, they have to
pay for It
"How did wb stop being artlBtlc.'
That's quite a story, ma'am. Our
buiug artistic came on jb quite like
a Hash ma'am. One summer wo was
Just folks, same as we are now, and
the next we was artistic.
"You don't like our furniture? I'm
certainly not surprised to hear you
say that, ma'am. Mrs. Hlgglubotbam
mid Minnie used to have convulsions
whenever they looked at it Mrs.
Higginbotham ran that art colony up
on the bill- the big barn that's falling
to ruin. No. we haven't been artistic
Tor three or four years now, and the
colony hat: moved to Greenlluld.
"Minnie? O, Minnie's our daughter.
Sort of a flue girl, HI uud I thought
her, and that's why we seut her to
college. 8am Ilunn, the plumber, was
sweet on her, and lit and I hoped they
would hitch up together when she
come home, for Sam's a nice, quiet
sort of fellow, and always was sav
ing. Well, eddicated, too, but Of
course, a plumber don't know about
being artistic. It stands to reason,
lor they didn't have plu::iblng lu tbcin
artistic tlniea.
"Well, ma'am, Minnie came home
from college, and III and I noticed
ihe sort of sniffed the llrst eve
ning. "'What's the matter. Mln?' united
her father. 'Have you got a touch
of catarrh?'
" 'No, pa,' answered Minnie. 'I
was Just looking at the furniture.'
" 'Well, you don't need to smell it,
do you?' asked HI, not understand
inn: " 'Father,' said Minnie, 'now thnt I
am home. I am going to improve
things a little."
"Well, that suited HI and me first
rate, for we naturally thought she
means that she was going to help us
old folks out with the chores. There
was u whole heap of cleaning to be
"What's the Matter, Mln?"
done, and it always took my stri ngth
polishing the stove. Hut Minnie didn't
menu that at all. What she meant
was being artistic.
"She'd got to be fait friends with
that Higginbotham woman, and next
day she broke the news to lis that
they'd rented the old Hopps place for
an urt colony and some tO Btudcnts
of both sexes waB coming. Sure
enough, they did come within tbe
week, utout half and half as to the
sexes, although it wusn't nlwuys easy
to tell which was which from the wuy
they looked.
"Tho townspeople was glad, for
things were a hit dull in Llnborough.
The only person who wasn't glad, out
tttde our house, was Sum liuun. Min
nie seemed to have soured on the
plumbing business and 8am soon saw
it wasn't much use hanging ardund.
"The first shock como whon Minnie
had tho house repapercd. HI uud I
always liked bright papers on our
walls roses and lilies and such
things. Hut Minnie had the placo pa
pered In a sort of sickly yellow.
"'Martha.' Bays HI to me, when he
av the finished result, 'this Is more
than I can stand. Mlnnlo'n gono
crazy.'
"I reminded him how Mrs. Higgin
botham was taking all our eggs and
butter, and that sort of reconciled
hlra. The next thing was the fur
nishings. Our furniture, which you
can see, came from Hi's Urandniother.
Bill Minnie and some of the lady stu
dents borrowed our woodshed, nnd tho
first tiling we knew, tho furniture was
up In the garret, and we had some
new chairs and tables all rough
wood, with brass nails sticking out.
After that HI moved into the garret
and spent his evenings there.
s "I don't think he'd haTe Stood for
it much longer, only we put up our
price from six dollars to nine, and
wo got quite a superior class of sum
mer boarders. They used to stand
outside our bouse lb groupB nnd ad
mire It, especially after Minnie had
painted a sign, "The Old Tavern,"
ond hung it from Hi's window. I
didn't like it myself, beta, a temper
ance wo in, but Minnie had painted
It artistically, so that it was dtffl
cuit to read. Hi thought It read "Tbe
pi
1. , aaBajma
old Cuvelu," and he was niCaru'lT
mad till Minnie explained.
Hut I was going to tell you how
Llnborough stopped being artistic. It
was all very well while sumn:cr last
ed and prices were good. Hut it wasn't
till fail that any of tbe girls in our
town would look at the young fellows,
and by the time they had crept back
Into favor again summer was coming
round MM more Mrs. Higginbotham
came back, and the furniture was get
ting ready to go into the attic, and 1
saw Minnie looking at 'The Tavern'
sign, which HI had put away In tho
woodshed. And If Minnie hadn t been
at college all the winter we'd havo
had no peace at homo.
"Now I was telling you abort Barn
Ilunn. He'd ulwuyB admired Minnie,
nnd though she hadn't treated hl:n
well, he still hankered after her, so
he and some other young men como
up to talk It over with HI, und tho
result was a Society for tho Promo
tion of Helm: Artistic. It was beat
ing Mrs. Hlgglnbothum at ber own
gume.
"It began when she found the frost
had hurst her pipes, and sent for Sam.
Sam listened respectfully.
"'I'm sorry, Mrs. Higginbotham.' he
says, when she gets through, 'but I'vo
Joined our new Society for the Promo
tion of Being Artistic, and I can't fix
'em.'
"'Why not?' asks Mrs. Higginboth
am. " 'I'lpeB ain't artistic' anBwerB Sam.
Only wells au old oaken buckets is
artistic. No, ma'am. I can't tlx
'em.'
"Well, Blnce Sam was the only
plumber In town, bbo had to send
over to Greenfield
"Then there was Ed KeggB, tho
butchor. He wanted business, but ho
wanted Mabel Cough more, and Mabel
was artlBtlc. So he had Joined the bo
clety, and he wouldn't sell lamb chops
or ribs.
" Chops ain't artistic, Mrs Higgin
botham.' he explained. 'What is ar
tistic is barbecues. I ll sell you a
wholo ox to roast upon a spit. Spits Is
highly nrtlstlc'
"As for Jim Saunders, tho grocer,
he WOUMnt sell anything but herbs.
He said canned goods wuh vulgar.
And since the roof was leaking, and
there wasn't nobody knew how to
thatch one, Mrs Higginbotham gavo
up the light und left.
"Yes, It did pay us being artistic,
but we don't envy Drerfleld. And, as
Hi says, he don't want to be artistic
unless bis armchair and pipe goes
with It.
"Minnie? O, Bhe's been Mrs. Ilunn
these two yiars pust They've got a
brand new cottage up Nobscott way,
and a pianola and two babies and
Sam's doing well In the plumbing
business. So, as 1 was saying, it's
only six dollars again, but you'll have
to eat with the hired man, ma m."

LITTLE FOR DOCTORS TO DO
Accounts Seem to Show That Disease
Is Soon to Become a Thing of
the Past.
After reading the speeches nnd tho
papers at the Medical congress one
gels the tinpresBlun that the irutlook
for the medical profession Is gloomy
indeed, snys London Truth. One
deadly disease after another has been
tackled and overthrown Discovery
followB dUcovery. each more brilliant
than the last and fraught with great
er benefit to mankind It takes a whole
week of reading and talking to de
scribe the wonderful things that doc
tors have been doing in all parts of
the world merely within the last II
months. Obviously, there must soon
be no moro worlds to conquer. Every
one will have been cured and no moro
doctors will be wanted. It is pathet
ic to sou the crowded rankB of tho
new generutlon of Hob Sawyers, and
to reflect thut in a few years their oc
cupation will be gone.
Would it not be well If Botnebody
were to get up a congress of pa
tients? It Is Just possible that wo
might then hear another side of these
astonishing scientific achievements. As
a matter of fact, every congress of
medicos that I con remember has
been conducted with the same strain;
but disease has continued to exist,
doctors have continued to multiply,,
and tho one thing that Is perfectly cer
tain as each generation proclaims Its
new knowledge Is that the preceding
generation knew nothing at nil. In
order to get at the real value of all
the nchtevementB that we have heard
about during the past week we must
wait until the next International con
gress is held In London.
Kith and Kin.
A merry' smile fluttered over tho
features of Andrew Carnegie at a re
cent banquet when one of the guustu
referred to hlB family as, kith and kin.
He explained that It recalled an in
cident that happened In a western
town.
At breakfast one morning, so re
lated Mr. Carnegie, u fond father
glanced nt his pretty eighteen-year -old
daughter und began to playfully ques
tion her about the visit of a young
man tbe evening before.
"Hy tbe way, Edith," smilingly quer
ied papa, "what were you and that
young Mr. Cross talking about so In
terestedly in the parlor last night?"
"I forget now," blushfully answorod
tho pretty Edith "Oh. yes! We were
talking about kilh and kin."
"That'H right, pupa," butted In
Edith's little slx-yenr-cld sister Marie,
who lisped, "I heard them."
"You don't really mean it, Marie?"
Jokingly returned papa.
"Yeth. thlr." was the positive re
joinder of Marie "Mtthtah Croth
thayth 'can 1 kith you?' and thlthtob
thayth 'you kin.'
FAVORITE DISH IN ORIENT
Saffron Pilaf, Mainly Composed of
Rice, Considered Great Delicacy
in the Far East.
This Is also called weddiug pllaf,
because it Is Invariably made aud
served dining wedding dinners und
other great occasions In the Orient.
It Is composed of two parts, the llrst
being u pluln plluf, which should bo
mude before the second part Is com
menced. For this first part:
Ingredients; Five cupfuls of stock,
two cupfuls of rice, two tublespoonfuls
butter, salt and pepper.

j slacken the Qro und cover the pllaf
I with u piece of muslin under the Ud
of the vessel In order to prevent tho
water from the steam falling back into
tho vessel. After five or ten minutes
stir the rice lightly with u perforated
spoon and put Into u hot oven till all
moisture bus evaporated und the rlcu
remains almost dry.
Put this uside where It will renialu
.warm and proceed to make tho second
part of the pllaf.

' FRIED HOMINY WITH BACON
; Should Be Made the Staple Dish for
Breakfast, With, of Course, a
Little Fruit.
First fry tho thin slices of bacon in
a frying pan. then cut the cold hominy
, in slices and fry in the fat. II Is well
I to have plenty, so as to avoid tho
Mssl of another meat or hearty dish
for tho meal! Holla or cold bread or
, almost any other little OMMMMlllI
dish will complete the ordinary light
breakfast, with the coffee. Of course,
a little fruit is always in order at any
; meal, whether custom or fashion calls
for It or not. That usually Is more a
matter of convenience and economy
' or luxurious Indulgence thun other
wise, although for breakfast the fruit
Is of especial value us an appetizer
nnd cleurcr of the taste and whole sys
tem than nt any Other time. Wo are
all so apt to have no appetite and also
to bo sluggish in the morning that
fruit In a very desirable addition to tho
first meal of the day at any season.
Brightening Faded Goods.
Hang across a clothesline, mnitiicu
all the very soiled plares, and rub
with soap Then turn the hose on
them. You can turn the hose off while
you rub the soiled plan s a little be
tween your hands. Then turn on the
hose again, drain and dry. They will
then be sweet and ( lean.
Potato water Is excellent for bright
ening shabby carpets. Tbe carp "i
should first of all be shaken well and
beaten, then scrape half u dozen good
sl'cd potutoes as lluely us possible
into a bucket which is half full or
warm water. Strain this, wring a
cloth out of the water, and glvn tho
