*fe. "Stt H$S MAN calling himself Giovanni walked into an Italian restaurant in New York, and, addressing tbe proprietor, Antouio Mancini, asUed for employment us a waiter. Being told tuat the force of waiters 'fcas complete, be said that he would work for uothing until a vacancy occurred. Soon after Giovanni's employment the custom of the establishment drop ped off, and the proprietor, instead of filling waiters' vacancies, began to dis charge those he had. He told Gio vanni that there was no hope for him to secure pay and he was welcome to leave as soon as he liked. To this Giovanni replied that he was making a living from the tips he received and this was far better than nothing. But the attendance at the restaurant continued to decrease. One day he called his few remaining employees to his office and said to them: "I am expecting the sheriff to levy on what remains here. Until recently I was making money. Indeed, I pos sessed $20,000, now I am a beggar. "Go and secure new places. As for xne. I know not what to do." AH expressed sorrow, for their em ployer and went away, except Gio vanni. "You wonder, signor," said the lat ter, "why 1, to whom you have never paid a cent, have stood by you to the last." "I do."

Fried chicken with green peas will be pleasing for the Sunday dinner. An olive salad is a recent culinary treat certain to find favor with those who like olives. Fried Chicken. Cut the chicken in pieces for serv ing, season, roll in flour and brown In hot fat. Then add a small amount of water and cover the frying pan closely, so that the chicken cooks by steam. Cook slowly for forty-five* minutes or an hour, then make a cream gravy, using the fat In tbe frying pan as a basis. Green Peas. Put the desired quantity of young peas in a stewpan with butter, allow ing eight ounces to every quart of peas, a bunch of parsley, a few small onions and a little salt.

A Laundry Hint, if you wish your table linen to look nice do not put it through the wringer, as it makes creases that will not come out even if the cloth be Ironed when very damp. In fact, any clothes that you wish to look very nice when iron ed will be better if they are wrung by hand. Late Trial For Witchcraft. A trial for witchcraft and sorcery occurred in England in 1881. This was the trial of the Fletchers, who were famous clairvoyants, crystal gazers and mesmerists, who gave se ances to which tbe whole fashionable world flocked. They induced a Mrs. Hart Davis to give them jewelry aud lace to the value of £10,000 and when proceedings were taken against them fled to America. Tbe husband man aged to escape arrest, but Mrs. Fletch er was brought back to England, in dicted under the old statute of witch craft and sorcery and sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment with bard labor.—London Spectator.

A customs officer I had been bribing made it his business to see me while smuggling. I was ar rested and Imprisoned." Mancini sat spellbound by the story, every moment growing paler. Gio vanni kept- his eye fixed on him in tently. "While in jail," he resumed, "I was put into a cell with an old smuggler. He was ill, aud 1 nursed him. Dying, he made me his'heir. Where do you suppose his fortune was deposited?" "Go on." "You remember the point formed by the junction of Lakes Como and Lec to "I was born on it" "There, across the lake, one can see Monte Crocione and on a crag near by the little church of San Martino." "I was married there," groaned Mancini. "And not far from San Martino is a hole in the rock. From across the lake it looks only large enough to con tain a big bowlder. It would hold a church." "I have been in it" "The fortune 1 inherited was there. Tbe smuggler had turned all his prof its into diamonds and hidden them in the cave. I brought them to America In the shape of bills of exchange." "And have lost your inheritance?" "No I have every cent of it. And why have I. a rich man. been working here without pay? To ruin the cus toms officer who betrayed me and who married my betrothed. I have caused the falling off of your business by cir culating false stories of what food you have served to your guests." "You—you have done this?" "I have." "You have taken a terrible revenge. But you are rich, and 1 will have dam ages under the law." "On what evidence?" Mancini was silent "But it is not necessary that you should prosecute me. For the sake of the girl of whom you deprived me I shall repair the damage I have done. Here is a check for $10,000. Begin again. There will be no more stories to hinder you. In a few months you will have regained your former posi tion." WHEN SUMMER SUNS BURN. There is really no way, if the summer girl would enjoy sum mer sports, to prevent a certain amount of sunburn and tan if she wishes to be comfortable. Of course, if you wish to cover the skin with cold cream, then with powder, then, with a thick veil and then stay in the shade as much as possible, you may come through the ordeal as white as a lily. If you wish to gain an even dark coat of tan you can do so with comparatively little discom fort if you bathe the burned skin, when it is first burned, with very hot water for ten or fifteen minutes, then nib It with cold cream or sweet cream —nuything to soothe it. When the skin is next exposed to the sun's rays it will burn a little deeper and can be given another hot water and cream treatment. In a few days It will be strong ly tanned and will not feel the successive burnings. This method of treatment keeps the skin from hurting while it is tanning, but it does little to lessen the tan. One of the best things to bleach tan and burn is cucumber cream. The arsenic in the cucumbers is the bleaching agent, if tbe cucum ber cream is irritating follow its use with tbe application of a lit $ tie elder flower water. POINTS OF ETIQUETTE. A very objectionable habit in women is that of crossing their knees. It Is unladylike. It is only a habit that makes a man push past a woman getting on or off a car. He does not save ten seconds by Ids rudeness, but be is so in tbe babit of pushing bis way along that he does it mechanically. No Wonder He Quit.

"The ultimate consumer always gets the worst of It" IN THE SEWING ROOM. The following may be of help during this pocketless age by making you feel safe, when traveling, with regard to money and valuables: Take one and one-half yards of heavy black satin ribbon about three Inches wide. On ea'ch end turn up three inches for a pocket: then sew another piece above the opening for the flap (envelope fashion), with a snap catch for a fastener. Place one-half the ribbon on the upper side and one-half on the under side of the underskirt and fasten to the band by a safety pin. Money or valuables can al ways be carried without fear of losing. This can be made fancy by feathevstitching it around the pocket with contrasting colors in silk floss. Bedspreads which are very dainty can be made of organdie muslin. These spreads should be trimmed with bands of flow ered muslin in tbe form of five inch wide panels. Dotted swlss spreads are also nice, and they are usually made with cluster tucks and a flounce, but no other trimming. The tucks are placed so that they run through the center of the spread, both crosswise and lengthwise, thus forming squares. A cluster of the tucks is placed above the hem of the flounce. Large dotted swiss should be used for these spreads.

Pilgrims and Puritans. Tbe pilgrims, or, as they are often called, the "pilgrim fathers." were the seventy-four men and the twenty-eight women, members ol the John Robin son's church, who sailed in the May flower from Leyden to North America and landed at Plymouth rock, where they founded a colony Dec. 25. 1620.

It is very narrow, with close set diamonds around the circte. The stones are set in even with the mount ing, which is made of platinum, with band carved edges. These rings cannot be enlarged, and unless the finger on which it is to be worn is of stock size that ring must be made to order.

Representative Frank Buchanan oMllinois not long ago had a lively tussle with a conductor who attempted forcibly to put him off a street car on which be Insisted he was entitled to ride. Although Representative Thomas Reilly of Connecticut offered his good offices as arbi trator after separating the pair from their death grap ple, tendering tbe conductor the nickel demanded. Mr. Buchanan would have none of it and in the end got off the car and walked tbe balance of the way to his office. Representative Thomas U. Sisson of Mississippi also had a similar dispute with a conductor, which was ended by a woman paying bis fare in the face of Mr. Sisson's pro tests, the gallant Mississippian not caring to involve a woman in the argu ment. And there have been lots of other mlxups of the same character since tbe bot weather began and the trolley companies sought to enforce their arbi trarjTtransfer rule. ft ft No one in the house of representatives dares to trifle with Representative John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, chairman of tbe great committee on appro priations, until the would be trifler is sure of his facts. The reason is that Fitz, as they call him, is possessed of one of tbe most marvelous memories known to the national legislature, lie can remember tbe name, date, page and line of every speech ever made in congress—or, at least, so his friends say—though that statement is probably some slight exaggeration of the facts.

Not long ago the question of "tenure of office for government clerks" arose in the house. The Democrats had a propo sition to make government clerks' employment proceed in terms of six years. Representative Campbell made a most vigorous and fiery speech against it He called it iniquitous be called It tyrannical he called it unfeeling, unsympathetic and smelling of graft and corruption and made great ap plause for himself on the Republican side. While he was talking Representative Fitzgerald called Marcellus Shields, assistant clerk to the house appropria tions committee. "Get me the Record of about April 12, ,1906," Jie said. Shields brought the volume, and Fitzgerald turned to There was the speech of Campbell of Kansas in favor of a tenure of office—exactly in favor of the thing he was now de nouncing. Fitzgerald waited his chance and then read Campbell's seven-year old speech, and Campbell nearly died of embarrassment.

Battle of Dettingen. The last battle in which a British sovereign personally led his troops on the battlefield was in 1742, when George II.. at tbe bead of bis army, defeated tbe French at the battle of Dettingen. iIVE solid reasons why. each farm needs a manure spreader are these, in the words of a farmer who has devoted much time to correct soil feeding:. 1. It saves disagreeable and hard work. 2. It pulverizes and mixes the manure mass. 3. It distributes manure evenly over the field, insuring a good, even stand of grain. 4. It prevents lossof nitrogen through fermentation or leaching in the pile when manure is hauled directly from the stable. 5. Indirectly, the ease with which it can be handled encourages the owner to care for the manure and distribute it on the fields care fully instead of wasting it. I Manure Spreaders will work uncomplainingly for years making profits for the owners. You will find them all styles and sizes, high and low, endless apron or reverse. I manure spreaders are exceedingly durable, strong, correctly built to stand all con ditions and all strains they may meet. Each feature has its purpose. Up hill or down or cutting corners, they spread all kinds of manure evenly, in a light or heavy coat at the will of the driver. The.beater drive is strong and simple, beater teeth are square and chisel pointed to pulverize the manure, and the large diameter of the beater prevents wind ing. The rear axle, carrying a large percent age of the load, insures ample tractive power. But see all these things yourself at your local dealer's. Find your choice in the I line.
