He Was in the Clear.
From the Kansas City Journal.
A Salvation army preacher was re
cently holding forth at much length at
a Garden City street corner. His sub
ject was directed at men in general.
He spoke of the cross manner in which
husbands often address their wives,
and then said: "If there is a man here
who has not spoken a cross word to
his wife in the last 30 days I want
him to step forward.”
He paused for a moment, waiting for
his words to sink in. C. E. Dickinson,
a Garden City jeweler, stepped for
ward.
"What?” said the preacher.
"You bet,” replied Dickinson, "my
wife has been visiting out of town
for over a month.”

was running as a fastidious bride would
wish it, and up in the room where the
presents were displayed, alone and un
happy-looking, he came upon a youth,
seemingly ready, like the wedding guest
of the English poet, to "beat his breast.”
He was wandering about, looking at
silver and cut glass without seeing
them, and the Best Man hardly knew
how to approach him.
“Er—have you kissed the bride?” he
asked at last.
And the answer told far more than
Its two meager words might have been

♦ PIES AND CAKES; ♦
+ THREE GOOD RECIPES +
~| | | I tl I H U H U i t ♦tttt'M-TT
Banana Pie.
When baking pies make an extra
crust, bake by placing over the bottom
of a pie tin. Slip an extra tin under
the one on which your crust is placed
to keep the edges from burning. Be
fore wanted slice bananas thin, sweet
en and place in crust. Whip cream,
sweeten a little, flavor with lemon ex
tract, and place on top. The white of
an egg may be used for the top instead
of cream or small fruit instead of ba
nanas. Put small cup of sugar over
Are with a little water as for icing, boil
to a syrup, and pour over the fruit hot;
let cool, and put in crust with either
top preferred. This is a nice way to
sweeten fruit and if tried will be liked.
Keep Layer Cake Together.
To keep the top layer of a cake from
sliding off when frosting, thrust a clean
steel hatpin through both layers. By so
doing one can cover both top and sides
of cake nicely.
Prune Pie.
Soak two cups of prunes In cold
water over night, seed them, add one
half cup of raisins, the grated rind and
a few drops of Juice of a lemon.
Sweeten to taste and cook till tender.
Bake with two cruets. This will make
two pies.
Cookie Baking.
When ready to roll cookies or any
soft dough spread piece of cloth over
kneading board, dredge thickly with
flour and drop your dough upon this
from the spoon. Flour rolling pin, pat
your dough in shape with spoon, dredge
with flour, roll out. By this little trick
your cakes will not stick to the board
and you have not ruffled your temper
or ruined your cookies.

The combs are of pierced shell for

Coral and pearl, Jade and turquoise

Solitude.
The solitude of hills, or of the 6ea,
The solitude of dense far-stretching
woods.
Have naught in them of loneliness for me,
Who love the songs of elemental moods.
But in the city streets, wh'ere myriad feet
Pass here and yon in hurried onward
press,
’Tis there I find a wilderness complete,
And taste the woes of utter loneliness.

X CALIFORNIA ROAST; AN X
* EASILY COOKED DINNER ♦
California Roast.
Select three pounds of round steak,
cut three Inches thick, lay flat on table
and pound thoroughly Into It on each
side one cup of flour, using edge of
dinner plate; salt and pepper to taste.
Place In hot spider and brown both
sides. Remove from spider and place
In well buttered baking pan, keeping
plenty of water In same. Bake for
two hours In hot oven. When done lay
on platter, pour over roast thick brown
gravy and garnish with sliced onions
and parsley. This makes an inexpen
sive and tender roast.
Easily Cooked Dinner.
Take a two gallon butter Jar, one
that Is as wide as It Is high. Wash the
roast, season to taste, place Into the
Jar "dry," with no water whatever.
Have a good cover, weighted heavily,
to keep the steam In. Place the Jar
on an asbestos mat over a Blow coal
Are or gas burner at 9:30 a. m. without
a second thought about your roast un
til noon, and you will And It beautifully
done. The gravy juice Is golden brown
and ready for thickening while the po
tatoes are boiling.
No gravies compare In flavor and
smoothness to this kind. Even the
cheapest cuts of meats become tender
and delicious with this treatment and
the process needs no “watching" or
"basting" at any time.
The estimates for cooking are as fol
lows: Beef, 30 to 40 minutes; pork, 20
to SO; lamb, 20 to 26; chicken, 30 to 35;
tame duck, 40 to $0; wild duck, 30 to 40.
Tender Roasts.
To keep roasts from burning and
make them tender and palatable place
a small pan of vinegar In the oven.
This applies to all roasts. To keep a
flsh compact and solid while baking
pour over a good sized flsh about three
tablespoonfuls of vinegar. It also gives
an excellent taste.
NEW CLOTHES FOR FALL.
It Is rumored that the chevron design
will be the smart thing In all neutral
tones of cloth for autumn wear.
Smoke and elephant gray, several
shades of brown and dark blue have all
been dyed ready for the counters, and
each one of them will be christened
with a fine new name.
Marine Insurance Is the oldest kind of
modern Insurance. Its principles were
first employed In the 14th century by the
merchants of Barcelona, In Spain, when
that city was the capital of the kingdom
of Catalonia, and when Its hardy mariners
were second to none In the world. About
the same time, and also at Barcelona, the
famous code of maritime laws known as
the “consulado del mar," was promul
gated, which Is the toundatlon of the
present shipping laws of every country.

t BE ATTRACTIVE IN YOUR HOME. 4
4 ♦
4 If you mtist wave your hair on curlers or kids, do it after your hus- 4
4 band has left the house for the day and not at night. 4
4 Just imagine what a fright you look with your hair, the crowning 4
4 beauty of a woman, done in two tight little braids at the back and six or 4
4 seven horn-like projections in the front. 4
4 And don’t leave your false hair in full sight on the bureau. 4
4 Can you conceive how like a wild animal or a scarecrow you must 4
4 look to him when he views you in the morning light? 4
4 Can you blame him for thinking the smart looking woman he sees 4
4 more fascinating than his wife? 4
4 Remember, he has not seen them in curl papers. 4
4 To arrange the hair for the night, divide it and tie the front part 4
4 loosely on top with a big bow of ribbon, then braid the back in two 4
4 braids and tie the ends with ribbon. This is so much neater and more 4
4 attractive than to do it up on curlers or leave it done up as it has been 4
4 all day. 4
4 A man once said that any woman who wore her hair in kids or 4
4 curlers in the presence of her husband deserved to lose his love. 4
4 Some women do not think it possible for them to do their house- 4
4 work unless attired in an unsightly wrapper. Usually an ugly creation, 4
4 bought ready made, of brown, blue and white’striped calico, seems to be 4
4 the favorite garment. 4
4 The chief advantage is that they do not show the dirt. The dirt is 4
4 there, however. 4
4 Wives who go into kitchen and pantry should provide themselves 4
4 with shirtwaist suits of clean looking material in light shades, which, 4
4 when soiled, would show it, and be sent to the tub. 4
4 For summer have them made with short sleeves and a Dutch neck, 4
4 and at least three inches from the floor. 4
4 These ure no more difficult to get into than a wrapper, and consider 4
4 how much more attractive one looks to husband and children! 4

Rhapsody on a Dog's Intelligence.
Dear dog. that seems to stand and gravely
brood
Upon the broad veranda of our home,
With soulful eyes that gasa Into the
gloam,
With speaking tall that registers thy
mood,
Men say thou hast no ratiocination;
Methlnks there Is a clever Imitation.
Men say again thy kindred have no souls.
And sin Is but an attribute of man;
Say, Is It chance alone that bids theo,
then,
Choose only garden spots for digging
holes?
W'hy dost thou filch some fragment of
the cooking
At times when no one seemeth to bs
looking?
Was there an early Adam of thy race,
And brindled Eve. the mother of thy
house, |
Who shared some purloined chicken
with her spouse,
Thus causing all thy tribe to fall from
grace?
If fleas dwelt In the garden of that
Adam
Perhaps thy sinless parents never had
'em.
This morn thou cam’st a-sllnklng through
the door,
Avoiding eyes, and some dark comer
sought,
And though no accusation filled our
thought,
Thy tall, apologetic, thumped the floor.
Who claims tnou hast no conscience ar
gues vainly,
For I have seen Its symptoms very
plainly.
What leads thee to forsake they board
and bed
On days that are devoted to thy bath?
For, If It Is not reason, yet It hath
Appearance of desire to plan ahead!
The sage who claims thy brain and soul
be wizen
Would do quite well to swap thy head for
