j “Pigs in the
j Blankets”
| By SAIDEE E. BALCOM
(Copyright, 1913 by the Western News
paper Union.)
“Will be with you noon train. Can
stay over one night.—Bach."
This was the telegram that Nelson
i Wright received at his office and in
stantly the dull day was transformed.
He sprang to his feet briskly and
snatched up the telephone receiver,
calling in turn three close mule friends
who were favorite chums.
If there was anybody in the world
whom Nelson particularly liked it was
this electrifying “Bach." Joyfully he
hailed one and each of his chums. “I’ve
told you about Bach. Well, lie'll he
here today, so hold yourself open for
supper."
lie had known Bach for two years
when he was working in the city.
When Nelson returned to his home
town and put out his shingle as a
budding attorney lie had kept up a
regular correspondence with tills prince
of good fellows. He had known that
Bach was off on a jaunt for a month
and was duly delighted to learn that
on his way home lie would stop over
at Springdale.
Bach, as Verne Dayton was famil
iarly designated, was not over twenty
• five hut was an avowed woman hater
end confirmed society hermit. Out
side of that he was the most munifi
cent and Jovial of hosts and enter
tainers.
Chef as well ns host, Bach had be
come an expert in the preparation of
dishes that would appeal to the most
critical of hnn vivants. The little
kitchen of the suite was ids kingdom
half the evening, while he pottered
around with every latest accessory of
cookery to provide a perfect meal.
“Bless the better sex!” he was wont
to observe chivalrously, “but none in
my blasted life. Think of it, fellows;
from ten to sixteen the special victim
of a parsimonious step-mother whose
cooking was sparse as was It sloppy.
I recall mackerel every day drowned
in a greasy gravy that even the flies
wouldn't touch. Evenings, inevitable j
and unvaried yellow corn meal and
molasses. After m.v father’s death I '
was relegated to an aged aunt. Boor
soul ! She did tier best but she had no
more appetite than a bird and forgot
that I had one. I was literally starved
to death. At nineteen I was alone in
the world and thrown upon that deso
late rock of refuge, a cheap hoarding
house. Do you wonder, when I made
a lucky hit In business and had the
means to do as 1 liked I eschewed
cooks and became fastidious as to
cookery? True, there are some meals
to be had for a small fortune, but give
me my own frying pan at my own fire
side and I am content."
Bronzed, clear eyed, bright faced, it
was a little after noon when Verne en- j
tered Nelson's office to receive a hearty
welcome.
“Had the time of my life!" declared |
Verne in his boyish, wholesome way.
“A tent, a campfire, nature, and cook- |
ery to my individual taste.”
“We want some more of it," re- |
turned Nelson fondly. ‘Tight here. In i
this town, and tonight. I've invited 1
three friends who have heard of your ;
wonderful culinary genius. See here, 1
iriy mother mid sister are away in the
next town for a couple of days. I’m
going to give you the key to file house
and I want you to get and prepare the
Ingredients for one of your famous
welsh rarebit treats,”
“Well. I'll do just that!” answered
Verne with animation. “It will seem
good to get back to a real home
kitchen."
At five o'clock that afternoon Lorena
Wright returned home. She paused in i
surprise as she noticed that the i
kitchen window was open and. adorned
with one of tier aprons and fluttering
about table and stove, was the self
constituted cook, lie observed her
and looked startled and then sheepish,
but* the sweet smile on Lorena's faee
as lie revealed who lie was and his
mission, not only restored her com
placency, hut presented the unspoken
opinion that his chum's sister was
worth looking at twice. The Invited
guests arrived, the rarebit was really
a work of art, and Verne was invited
to supper the next evening.
"I have got a new delicacy I wish to
try,” explained Lorena, and Verne
somehow was glad to protract his stay.
When a puzzling new dish was set on
tlie table the next evening he dis
patched Ids share with all the appre
ciation of a delighted connoisseur.
"I never enjoyed such a refection!”
he Insisted enthusiastically. “What Is
It, Miss Wright?"
“Big In blankets they call it,” ex
plained Lorena. “Shall I give you the
recipe? It is somewhat elaborate.
You wash some oysters and roll them
up In thin strips of bacon and skewer
them with a small toothpick, sprinkle
pepper, dip in melted butter, broil on
hot toast, garnish witli lemon and
white celery, and there you are.”
Two weeks later Verne Dayton re
appeared at Springdale. Of course
Nelson invited him up to the house.
“Miss Wright.” said Verne, “no one
cat) follow out that recipe like you. I
simply had to come back to try' an
other feast of those ‘pigs.’ ”
And later out of hearing nf others
as he supposed, Verne remarked to
Nelson: “What I’ve really come for
Is to get better acquainted with a
pretty girl and u perfect cook.”
And Lorena overheard and covered
her fuce with tier hands, blushing—
and was glad.
THE COMRADE.
Are you sleeping, sleeping soundly,
I Comrade over there,
Where the grasses wave above you
In the summer air.
Where we laid you as we found you
With the ravaged land around you
Grim and bare?
Can you hear the bugle blowing
Faint and far away?
Can you hear the loud drums throbbing.
Hear the trumpets bray,
Hear the tribute that we render
To the souls that won the splendor
; Of the day?
'Tis the day we fought and toiled for.
The day for w'hich you died.
Underneath the flag of freedom,
The banner of our pride.
Which today is prouchy flying
O’er the fallen victors lying
Side by side.
O! surely you shall know us
Within your narrow bed.
When battle-worn battalions
Salute the honored dead.
Shall feel the brown earth shaken
And to knowledge shall awaken
At our tread!
—By Touchstone in Tendon Daily Mall.
BARREL-KEG WATER FILTER
Device, With Aid of Sand and Gravel
Will Provide Pure Water
for Home Use.
A satisfactory water filter can be
arranged by using a barrel and a keg
as suggested In the diagram. With an
ordinary 50-gallon barrel, the layers
of filtering material being of the
thickness shown, the free space (S)
at the top will hold about eight gallons
of water. In using the arrangement
the filter barrel is tilled with water,
and a faucet (A) Is opened, permit
ting the liquid to seep through into the
l-———-1
A Home-Made Filter.
water keg. When the water keg Is
filled faucet A can be closed and the
filter burrel again charged. When the
filter works slowly it indicates the
sand is becoming clogged. This condi
tion can be corrected by removing
some of the top layer of the sand, pos- j
sibly to the depth of six Inches, and
replacing It with clean sand. All of j
the sand and gravel in the burrel |
should be thrown away and renewed
at regular intervals.
Llama Still Used as Burden Bearer.
Dogs and Humus were the only ani- ;
mals known to have been used for con- I
veying burdens by the Indians, prior
to the advent of white men in the
western hemisphere.
The use of the dog was restricted
almost entirely to the caribou and bi
son areas, with a sledge in the most
northern part and toboggan in the
forests, or where the snow would not
bear the weight of runners. The tra
vels of the bison area was a primitive
vehicle consisting of two trailing poles
with a platform or net across them
for carrying the load.
From Ecuador north to the Colorado
river there Is no evidence of anything
hut human carriage, hut In Peru the
llama was used. It has little more
carrying capacity than a large dog, hut
Is particularly well adapted for moun
tain travel, and even today has not
wholly been replaced by the mule or
horse.—Detroit News.
Truck for Chambermaids.
Everything needed by a chamber- j
maid In her work can be carried con- j
venlently on a rubber-tired truck de
signed for use In hotels and apartment I
buildings and described with Illustra
tion In the Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. The vehicle Is of all-metal con
struction, and has shelves for clean
bed linen, towels and wash cloths. At
one end Is u large canvas bug for soiled
articles. A carpet sweeper, a broom,
a feather duster and other cleaning
utensils are placed at the opposite end.
Compartments on top bold soap, elec
tric light bulbs, safety pins and other
sundries.
Crab Shell Is Barometer.
The Araucanlnns. of the southern
most province of Chile, use a crab
shell as a barometer. In dry, fair
weather it Is white, but when rain is
approaching red spots appear on It,
and when excessive moisture Is present
in the atmosphere It becomes red all
over.
Excellent Advice.
“Boas, please gimme 6 cents for ear
fure," whined the measly mendicant.
“I want to go out to the Country club
and I ain't got de 6 cents.”
“Ah I” returned old Feat us Pester.
“Then, by all means, do not go. A
man who hasn't 0 cents would feel sad
ly out of place In the exclusive Coun
try club district."—Kansas City Star.
Take Too Much Credit.
“The Blanks are always bragging
about their ancestors.”
“Yes. from the way they talk one
would imagine they had selected them
themselves."—Boston Transcript.
Many a friendless man is his own
worst enemy.
Too often there is a sting bnclc of
honeyed words.
No wise woman trusts a man who
trusts to luck.
Even the unmusical fish denier
knows the scales.
The more some people tell you the
less you remember.
When the widow ceases to weep her
weeds soon dry up.
Truth and a woman's age are not
on speaking terms.
Ennui Is merely old-fashioned lazi
ness putting on lugs.

Eastern "Mad-Stones."
/n enstern countries rabies Is treat
ed by the "tabasheer,” or some other
form of what are indifferently ^called ^
“snake stones,” or “mudstones, an<
which are believed to be a specific for
all forms of poisonous bites or wounds.
"Tabasheer” Is a porous, stony accre
tion found In the stalks of bamboo. It
was used In Persia so long ago us the
tenth century, and Is carefully de
descrlbed by the French traveler Tav
ernier, who vlsllted India in the seven
teenth century.
Grateful Enjoyment.
Suffering Is not necessarily a bless
ing in disguise. Sometimes it is sim
ply an undisguised evil, an evil that
we have no right to he earying about
with us. Self-denial for its own sake
Is only a foolish refusal of pleasures
thnt we might thankfully enjoy. Cour
age and faith when trouble comes are
no more our duty than is grateful en
joyment of our blessings when the
days are bright.
First Aero Mail Service.
The first regular aero mail service
in the world was started by the Unit
ed States government, May 15, 1918.
between New York and Washington.
The actual flying time made was three
hours and twenty minutes, Including
six minutes’ stop for relaying at Phil
adelphia. At thnt time the fastest
railroad train record between the two
cities was five hours. The nlrship time
has since been reduced to two hours
and thirty minutes.
“Cobbler's Dozen."
While in most countries thirteen is
always spoken of as “the baker’s doz
fen,” in Italy It is called “the cobbler’s
dozen.” There is a tradition In Italy
that formerly there was a law com
pelling coolers to put twelve nails , (u
round the edge of a boot heel, and
that when nails were cheap, a thir
teenth nail was driven in the center
for luck.
Sponge Resembles Plant.
Seen alive In its natural surround
ings at the bottom of the sea, the
sponge looks like a small plant.
Sponging is an old Industry In Nassau.
Most of the “harvest of the sea" In
pre-war days was shipped to the great
sponge-markets of Europe—London
ind Paris. New York also came in for
ts share.
Affinity.
“We rend that a lien has adopted a
liter of pigs. A possible explanation
<f this Is the natural intimacy be
ween ham and eggs.”—Charlotte
fews.
