In each case every hearty and ar
tistic eater is aware of the fact, but
no one thinks to discover the reu
son. Among the ignorant, of course,
Rauerkraut is devoured at once
and after its first stewing, but the
present inquiry is not directed to
ward the habits of the ignorant. To
the connoisseur of educated taste,
to the refined amateur of delicates
sen, sauerkraut cooked once is as
unsavory a mess as Philadelphia
pepperpot or Boston beans. The
very thought of it benumbs his
stomach and insults his intelligence.
And yet if that same sauerkraut be
laid away for twenty-four hours,
preferably in a stone jar, with a
brick on top, and be brought to a
simmer in some suitable stewpan
that same connoisseur will walk
twenty miles in the snow to get a
scent of it and a hundred miles on
redhot coals to get a few skeins of
it.
In the Bavarian and Saxon roya1
families the sauerkraut for Sun
day's breakfast is always cooked on
Friday evening. An hour or two of
brisk ebullition is enough. Then
the beautiful strands are dredged
up from the caldron and transfer
red to a large copper or earthen
vessel, which is deposited overnight
in some convenient arsenal. There
the kraut, remains all day Saturday
and Saturday night. At dawn or.
Sunday morning it is withdrawn
from its vault and transferred to an
aluminium stewpan and seasoned.
Then the mixture is heated, and the
result is sauerkraut de luxe. Once
cooked it would be mere food; twice
cooked it is a thing of beauty and a
joy forever.
Hominy has the same habits.
Boil it once and it is food for con
victs and political hangers-on, but
boil it twice or boil it and then fry
it and it is lifted at once to th;
range of a superb and flawless vict
ual. The man who has never taste I
hominy in conjunction with the na
tive wild hog of the Eastern Shon
of Maryland is a man whose right
to be regarded as entirely civilize!
and cultured is yet to be demon
strated. Such viands :and," aln?.
they are tob few! ennoble win);
they warm and educate while the
nourish. In the art of cr.t'-;; :n:r
place is as high as that of !'e ;'.:"
ven's Fifth Symphony in the art of
music.
Hominy, indeed, suggests Beetho
ven in more ways than one. 1'
shows all of his rugged siraplicitv
and honest worth. There is a di
rectness about it which wins tha
heart. It is above all pretense an !
subterfuge. Sauerkraut, on the oth
er hand, is more romantic. It is not
Beethoven, but Wagner. Xo matter
how well one knows it, it is full cf
delicious novelties and surprises.

Shifting the Responsibility.
An Irishman who traded in small
wares kept a donkey cart, with
which he visited the different vi
lages. On one occasion he came to
a bridge where a toll was levied
lie found to his disappointment
he had not enough money to pay it
A bright thought struck him. Ha
unharnessed the donkey and put it
into the cart. Then, getting be
tween the shafts himself, he pulled
the cart with the donkey standing
in it on to the bridge.
In due course he was hailed by
the toll collector.
"Hey, man!" cried the latter.
"Whaur's your toll?"
"Begorra," said the Irishman,
"just ask the droiver."

SOMETHING WRONG.
The balloon. pilot landed In the little
backwoods village und told the loiter
ers the thrilling story of his escape.
"And at one time," he related, with
dramatic force, "I was in a storm and
sweeping ever a vast desert. There
was nothing to do but throw out sand
and prepare for the worst. Gentle
men, at one time I felt as If 1 had lost
".m unu gone plumb crazy.
The oldest Inhabitant kIowIv liirhtec

smile:
"011 must nave ijet,n j,iuniD crazy,

Some slKh for cooks of boyhood dnys,

One roundup cook was best of all 'twos
Willi ihu X-IIar-T,
And when wo heard the jfrub pllo call at

The old Dutch oven never fulled to cook
the things just right.
'Twos covered o'er with red-hot coals, and
when we fetched her out
Tho blHcuits there were nlco and brown,
you never had a doubt.
I ain't to strong for boyhood grub, 'cause,
summer, spring or fall,
The old Dulrh.oven buked the stutt that
tasted bent of all.
PerliBpg 'twas 'cause our appetites were
always mighty sharp
The men who rldo the cattle range ain't
apt to kick or carp;
But anyway I find myself a-dreamlng of
that bread
The old Dutch oven baked for us beneath

They Changed Their Minds.
. Phelps I heard the people in your

Ives They were, but they have
changed their minds; they concluded
It would be cheaper for them to let

Told of Traveling Men.
A traveling man who evidently had
much to square with his wife bought
$50 worth of dntnty waists. Said he
was getting something nice for her
each place he stopped. Another trav
eling man bought his wife a mink
ecarf for $50 and tucked It In his grip
without even a paper covering.
Inconsistency.
A lazy man will go up to the lakes
for the summer and claim that he has
not had time to send even a picture
postcard to dear friends at home, and
yet he will go out, day after day, and
drop a line to fishes who love htm

Story of a Good Idea.
The history of any good cause may
be divided Into four stages. First, the
world Ignores It. Then It ridicules It.
That failing. It tries to crucify It. Dut
when the Idea triumphs over Indiffer
ence and ridicule and opposition the
world builds monuments to it. This Is
tho travail of truth. These are the
labor pnlns In which freedom Is born.
