Tho Reason
I often get a ploco of pie,
Or bread, or even cake,
That's equal to tho very best
That mother used to bake.
And mothor was a famous cook
Known all tho country through
For putting up the best of meals
That hungry children knew.
I used to think that riodern cooks
Had lost tho noble art,
But after long reflection I
Espouse their cause and part.
So when some grouchy man com
plains And calls their art in question,
I know just what tho matter is
It's simply indigestion.

Tilings That Have Disappeared
Ever stop to think, you middle
aged people, of the things that were
so familiar in your early days but
which have practically disappeared?
It will bo interesting to recall some
of them.
For instance, there is the "button
strings" that the girls used to make.
Every girl in the neighborhood had
a button string, and the girl who
could get the greatest variety of
buttons on her string was the en
vied one.
Then there was the "what-not,"
often made of spools, always three
cornered, and always used to hold
tho trinkets of no intrinsic value- but
of incalculable worth from a senti
mental point of view. Usually a
china vase occupied the top shell
and was always in imminent dangw
of falling off when a heavy man or
woman walked across the floor.
Then there was the "hair wreath,"
made of some deceased relative's
hair and wrought around a photo
graph of the original owner. This
was enclosed in a deep glass case.
and hung on the parlor wall.
Remember the old home's kitchen?
To bo sure, and you remember the
cupboard with the tin doors, and the
doors perforated with holes in a
most intricate pattern. The upper
part held the chinaware, and the
lower part usually held a supply of
bread, cookies, etc. That is, it would
hold cookies for a little while. Funny
how rapidly cookies would leak out
through those tiny little holes in the
tin front,
From the kitchen to tho parlor of
something else in place thereof, and
something much moro expensive.
Tho "what not" has given way to
the expensive china closet, the tin
front cunboard has given way to
the patented kitchen cabinet, the
"hair wreath" has given way to
etchings and artist's proofs, and the
dismal old parlor has given way to
the 'sunny front room with its rugs
and hard wood floors and windows
that seldom have the curtains drawn.
The "spare bed room" is now
warmed by the furnace, and "salt
risin' " bread is an almost forgotten
luxury for luxury it would be com
pared with the baker's bread of to
day. After all, it is much more pleas
ant to sit and recall those old times
and old things than it would be to
have to endure them again after ex
perience with more modern things.

"parlor" has practically disappeared.
ir it boasted an ingrain carpet it
wouldn't do to let the sun shine in
for that would fade the carpet. And
ol an tne gloomy, uncomfortable,
appalling places within memory, the
old-time "parlor" is entitled to first
place. The carpet was laid over
straw, and it usually took about six
months for the straw to settle until
tne carpet did not resemble the
waves of the ocean in a storm.

Ridiculous Error
"Your honor, the defendants In
this case are charged with having
violated the injunction issued by
your honor, but we want to plead
extenuating cir "
"There are no extenuating circum
stances," exclaimed the irate judge.
"The orders of this court must be
obeyed. There is a studied, deter
mined, defiant conflict precipitated in
the light of open day, between the
decrees of a tribunal ordained by the
government of th6 federal union and
of the tribunals of another federa
tion, grown up in the land; one or
the other must succumb, for those
who would unlaw the land are pub
lic enemies. The defendant charged
with contsmpt has, as the head of
a great labor "
"But, your honor, the defendant
is the Hon. Skinem Quick, the presi
dent and general manager of one
of our greatest industries in fact
one of our greatest captains of in
dustry and not, as you seem to be
lieve, a mere labor agitator. I
therefore "
"It is hardly proper that the val
uable time of this court be taken up
with such trivial matters," inter
rupted the honorable judge.
"There being business of vast public
import presented here for adjudica
tion, the case against Mr. Quick is
dismissed. The clerk will make
entry on the records that the hon
orable gentleman is purged of con
tempt." A little later the attorney at fault
was given a severe judicial baiting
in private for having led the court
into such a ridiculous error.
