Ob day when Mrs. Bell was mak

Chili Con Carne.
From remotest Mexico comes this
recipe for chili con carne. which is
capable of warming whatever cockles
the heart may have and of diffusing
calories to one's works at large: First
conies a fire of logs in the open. Second
comes an olla of generous proportions.
Into the olla put a gallon of water and
plenty of the hot chilis, and in that
region of Mexico they ripen so hot that
not even the rattlesnake will dare take
refuge In their shade. Upon this be
ginning lay as much of a side of beef
In one piece as may be squeesed into
the pot. Set the cover on this olla and
lute tt down with clay. Then put the
pot Into the fire and heap the glowing
coals all over tt. with particular atten
tion to the Dd. so that the luting may
bake Into brick. Keep the fire burning
slowly ail day long. When night has
come scatter the embers, break the
brick seal of the olla, fork out and
throw away whatever of the meat re
mains solid. The remainder is the chili
con carne. No sauce is needed.
The Love Affair of Handel.
Women greatly admired HandeL
who was very handsome, but the
serenity of the composer seems only
to have been ruffled twice by love on
his part II is first attachment was to
a London girl, a member of the aris
tocracy. Her parents believed him
beneath her in social position, but were
good enough to say that if he ab
stained Trom writing any more music
the question of marriage might be en
tertained. It was easier to abstain
from their daughter than from his art.
and he did so. Tears after almost the
same thing occurred. Handel and an
other beautiful pupil of his fell in love
with each other, and proud parents
gave him the choice between giving
up his profession or their daughter.
Music -heavenly maid." was chosen.

Hitting the Doctor.

Fausanias. the Spartan general,
when asked by a physician how it
was that he was never ill. exultingly
answered. -Because 1 never consult
you." .
At another time Fausanias said that
the best physician was the one who
dispatched his patieuts with the least
possible suffering.
Fausanias. strongly disapproving of j
a certain physician and his method !
and berating him in no mild terms,
was asked by a friend how. as he had
never consulted that particular doctor, j
he could be so sure of his statements. '
Fausanias answered. " ell. had 1 con
sulted him would 1 be living today"

A Summer Without Nights.
To the summer visitor iu Sweden
there is nothing more striking than
the almost total absence of night. At
Stockholm, the Swedish capital, the sun
goes down a few minutes before 10
o'clock and rises ajmiu four hours
later during a greater part of the month
of June. But the four hours the sun
lies hidden In the frozen north are not
hours of darkness. The refraction of
his rays as he passes around the north
pole makes midnight as light as a
cloudy midday and enables one to read

FRATERNITIES AXD SORORITIES.
Once more we have the annual argu
ment over the sororities and fraternities.
It rather wearies us. Being somewhat
old-fashioned and rather inclined to look
with disfavor upon a lot of the education
al fads that have been grafted upon our
public school and university systems, we
are opposed to the snob-breeding, trouble-
making things dubbed "sorority" and
"fraternity.'' But we insist that all sta
stisties showing the "frats to be defici
ent in studies will not have the
desired effect. Such a little thing as
deficiency in mental development will
not worry the average fraternity "man"'
or sorority "woman a little bit. The
exact and proper cut of corsage, the ex
act angle of hat, the en regale fullness of
the masculine trousers, or the au fait
hape of the shoe, or the diminutiveness
of the college cap those are the things
that will spread worry through a "Greek
letter' house quicker than hades could
scorch a feather.
We have a cure for the "Greek" evil.
Let Dad doff his worn and patched over
alls and come down to Lincoln unbe
knownst to his son, or his daughter, as
the case may be, and without being seen
study up on this "frat" house business
a bit. We rather opine that after Dad
has seen where his ' hard-earned money
is going to, and what for, there'll be a
sudden deflation in the membership of
a lot of the aforesaid "Greek societies.
If this will not effect a cure the only re
course we can think of is the old-fashioned
and always efficacious waterelm
club properly and forcefully applied at
the physiological moment upon the phy
siological spot.
A SHATTERED PROGRAM.
Stated in language that may be under
stood without acquiring a headache,
President Taft's reciprocity program has
been shot all to h 1. And why not?
It could be defended only as a step to
wards free trade. As advocated by '
President Taft it was illogical, and inde
fensible. Strange, indeed, must have
been the mental gyrations that produced
an advocacy of free trade in what the
farmer must sell and at the same time
produced opposition to free trade in
what the farmer has to buy. And, too,
how strange must be the mental pro
cesses of a man who insists that it is all
right to take the tariff tax off the prod
ucts the farmer must sell without wait
ing for a tariff commission to report, but
insists that the tax on what the farmers
must buy shall remain until a tariff com
mission reports. Such a train of thought
will of necessity find its cowcatcher
jamming into its caboose before it has
gotten well past the switchtargets in the
terminal yards.
The protection afforded the farmer by
the tariff on wheat and hay? We'll take
it off without waiting for the tariff com
mission to report.
The protection afforded the manufac
turer of farm machinery? Avaunt! Touch
it not! Until the tariff commission re
ports it is as sacred as the cow in India
or the cat in Egypt!
What has President Taft accomplished
through his extra session of congress?
Nothing, either for the people". for the
glory of his administration. It will not
do to say that this is due to a democratic
house, for it was only through democratic
votes in house and senate that -he snC
ceeded in getting reciprocity so far as
it was to be secured on this side of the
line.. The only relief the people might
has secured from congressional legisla
tion was vetoed-by the president. If .Pres
ident Taft mixes no more "political medi
cine on his tour of the country than be
mixed with his special session f con
gress, he is not going to have very mucn
household reined v on hand.
