Elmer Arnold was shopping In Rule Saturday. Matt McMuhon was a Falls City vis itor Saturday. John Kloepfol Jr. was a visitor In Falls City Saturday. n. .1 Schutcl was delivering produce in Rule Saturday. William Rlcgi'r spent Saturday and Sunday In Falls City. J. K. Shelly was transacting business in Falls City Saturday. Uussel Cramer was attending to busi ness In Falls City Saturday. Louis Mlt9ol Is doing a flourishing business In his line this season. A number of our citizens were fishing ' ing last week. They report a good catch. John Kloopfcl Sr. snent several days this week with his son Henry on the old farm. Ernst Zimmerman and Albert Hartman - man spent their leisure hours of Satur day In Rulo. Edward and William Schutel were lu Rule Saturday , where they went to ship their cream. Fred Haofllc , a frequent caller in Falls City , changed his plan and spent Saturday inlRulo. A good doctor would do a flourishing business In our village and in the sur rounding community. Very little corn Is being delivered here now. The farmers are too busy planting their now crop. Two or three merchants are talking of locating here. Wo would bo glad to see them all come this way. The potato crop seems to be doing quite well , but the stand Is poor and I the future of the potato crop can not t yet bo predicted. Our store has not been reopened yet but wo hope that the tlmo is not far distant when we may supply our wants In our own village. Most of the farmers In this vicinity lave finished planting corn , but some must replant owing to the cold weather , which caused some of It to decay. They expect to have the thirst par lor reopened In the near future and the care worn sojourner may lunch and quench his thirst once more In the good old town. Vegetation is growing very fast ; clover and Alfalfa are very rank and If ; the rain continues lu the future ns It , has lu the past we will experience a great deal of difllculty in curing- these crops. lu my correspondence of last week I stated that some of the oat fields were being damaged by rust. I had not ' made a thorough Investigation , but had taken only a casual glance at the oat ' fields in passing by ; upon a thorough examination I found that Instead of r"st ' as I had supposed , the oats were blight ed to some extent. This , too , Is only on a now variety , the seed of which came from northern Illinois. A visitor to the submerged bottoms of the Muddy and the two Nemcuu's may bo able to form some frail Idea of the great damage experienced by the farmer owning or operating farms along these streams. Thousands of acres of the best land in the country are thus rendered nearly useless. To ' see a crop of wheat , which Is nearly matured , destroyed , or to see the wheat floated uway In the raging torrents , Is very discouraging to the faithful ir of the soil , who , year after year , Is on these bottoms , and almost as the wheat Is ready for the thresher or whose corn Is ready for the crib to see these ! crops , upon which we depend for ir sustenance , destroyed lu this way Is discouraging in the extreme. These of you .who are opposed to drainage think of what you are losing every year. One good crop on such land as this would pay your full assessment and give you a good living in the mean time. Drainage works on other streams , why not on these ? It will work here. You opponents of drainage study It and you will convince yourselves that drainage is the only solution. Drain your land properly and your land that can not sell now for $ . " > 0 per aero will bo the best land In the county and will sell readily at from $100 to $150 per acre and you land owners , who are not now deriving benefit any from your land may live In luxury and ease on your yearly rental and you will see nourishing farms and happy farmers where now you see a weary waste sj land and care worn and weary farmer.

Mushrooms Add Greatly to the Flavor of the Meat. Skewer a' largo , fresh beef tongue and simmer four hours. Remove skin and place in a steamer over a kettle of hot water to keep hot while the sauce is being prepared. Take two tablespoonfuls butter and stir In a sauce pan until a bright brown , then stir In two tablespoonfuls flour "and k"eep on stirring until It all bubbles Now if made with stock or strong soup the sauce will ho doubly dell clous. If stock or soup Is not at hand use some of the water In which the tongue was boiled. Add ono pint of the liquid If you use fresh mushrooms two-th'lrds of a pint of the latter will make up for the additional liquor Pour in all the liquid at once and stir till all holls. Put In salt and popper to taste , a teaspoonful Worcester shire sauce , a pinch of sugar , a dash of celery salt and the mushrooms. If the latter are fresh set the saucepan into ouo of boiling water and lot all cool for nt least 20 minutes ; if canned , It will bo sufficient to bring all to the boiling point. Pour over the tongue enough to mask It well and put the rest in a gravy bout Servo on a hot platter garnished with a border of small white celery tips and slices of beet Can bo used for luncheon. Have a sharp carving knifo. RECIPE FOR SOAP JELLY. Economical Way of Using Up the Waste Scraps. . Take as much soap as will bo re quired and cut It down In shreds. Put It Into a saucepan and just cover It with hot or cold water. Allow the soap to melt slowly over the flro until It is quite clear and without lumps. Do not fill the saucepan too full , as soap is much inclined to boll over , The soap may bo put Into a Jar Instead - stead of a saucepan and melted In the oven. Any scraps of soap may be used In this way. It is hotter to mak soap jelly fresh each week , as it loses its strength if kept many days. Remember that the odor and taste of soap will cling very tenaciously to anything with which it comes In con tact , so that the knlfo and board on which it was cut , also the 'saucepan ought to be kept for that purpose only. Delineator. Broiled Chicken. To broil a chicken it should b opened down its back. It is best to remove move the breast bono , or , at least , t divide it , If the chicken Is small , ante to quarter it If the chicken is of fai ; size , always taking care not to cut o : tear the flesh. .The joints of wings , thighs and legs should bo broken an their tendons clipped , except the bird bo very young , when the Joints can b severed at table. It is customary , If broiled chicken bo of fair sire , to quarter tor it by cutting across It each waj with a knlfo that Is so sharp that th < crisp skin Is not torn. The removal of its bones before broiling a chlcke : does not impair Its appearance , nor i tholr absence noticeable , because the ; are taken from the Inside and only th outside is visible on the platter. I carving scissors are used , they mak' ' a removal of the bones and a soverin ; of the ligaments before cooking need less ; that which is easiest for th carver makes the speediest serving. A FREAK COLLECTOR Ho Had an Eye Gene and Ho Bought Remarkable Substitutes "I've known a lot of freak collectors In my time , " remarked Archer Way of San Francisco , "but the queerest whom I over know of was that which caught Iko Smallcy. Iko and his brother Amzl were earlles at Cripple Crek , although they didn't line up under the family name there. Ike was the elder and fought his brother's bat tles , likewise these of his brothor-ln- Jaw , Barzlllu Tlnton of Now Jersey. One night Ike took up a scrap that fell 0 Barzllla and loat his left eye. "When I met him In San Francisco , o was pretty lean In frame and pock- t , but he managed to got to Alaska , , nd sent for Amzl and his brother-ln- aw after making a stake. lie came > ack three years ago with something ess than a ton of dust , leaving Amzl nd Dorzllla up there to share a half- ntereat In a paying proposition , while 10 held them accountable for the other half. "While up In the wilderness of that old clime Iko was satisfied to go one eye on things. When he got down to San Francisco ho began to think about appearances. Ho got to talking to me about glass eyes , and I took him to an optlst's shop and showed him a tray of jyes In the window. Wo went in and ho eye sharp matched his eye pretty , vell and charged him $20. "It was a dlfllcult job to find any- .hlng to gee with Ike's good eye , for t was a yellowy greeny lamp with a fishy look to It ; but the optlst did his worst and It wasn't his fault that the clay bird had more expression In It .nan the real pigeon. Ike spent an hour looking In the glass and prac- .Islng with It before he left the shop , and on the street he admitted to me that the phony lamp had more charac ter than the real looker. "He wore It a week or two night and day and sorter became absorbed n it. Then he branched out. He'd got the habit and just went in for glass eyes. "He bought light blues , dark blues , browns , hazels , and all kinds of com binations , all of which diverted atten tion from his live eye. He used the artificial eyes like an English duke would his collection of scarf pins , and soon had a different glass eye for every day In the week and two or three for Sunday. "The field on the coast got too nar row for him , and he came east and looked up a Frenchman who makes eyes In Chatham square and got him to make some specialties for him. He had original ideas , and the lamp ex pert was willing to humor him at $50 a throw. "Iko startled me one night with a topaz eye , only an Imitation gem , but mighty fetching. Then he had an ame thyst cyo and a turquoise eye , but really this was only a starter. \ "Ho was looking over the shop windows dews in Maiden lane one day , when ho came across a crystal brooch scarfpiu with a picture of a trout painted in it. Ho wanted something just like that for a glass eye , and made Inquiries about how the work was done. He managed to find out that an old Frenchman In Newark painted such things and chased him to his dugout. "There he made a combination be tween the glass eye maker and the miniature man and sot up a now line of work. He gave the artist a line of subjects to bring out on the blanks made by the Chatham square man and had the colors baked into the glass. "As artistic specimens they wore great , but as facial ornaments they were rather startling. The flrst time 1 saw Ike with one was In the cafe of an uptown hotel. It jumped me when I saw a pretty butterfly staring out of his loft optic. "I met him again that night to go to a theater , and he called my atten tion to the fact that he had changed the ornament for the occasion. The picture this time was a woman's head and bust. "Wo went to Doston on the boat , and on the way to Fall River ho wore an cyo with a picture of a steamboat in it. He said It cost him $200. Next morning he showed up with a locomo tive head-on in his eye-socket "That afternoon ho showed me what he had In his collection. He had a vel vet-lined leather case with 24 eyes In It. There were flsh , game , flies , elks' heads , steamships , yachts in full sail , bulldogs , insects , actresses , an auto mobile , a monogram , and a lot of plain eyes of different colors. "Ike wasn't satisfied. Ho said that the work wasn't fun enough for him and that he was going abroad to see what ho could do In Paris and Geneva. Somebody had told him about a fa mous Swiss miniature painter , and somebody else had put him wise to a firm In Paris that made splendid little photographs on glass. Ho lot on tome mo that ho was going to travel some and have eyes made reproducing all of the famous buildings and art works. "He's got the collecting habit In him bigger than a woodchuck and Lord knows he's got unlimited money to indulge himself in the fad. Ho car ries a pocket magnifying mirror around with him , so that ho can see the results , and he makes three or four changes of eyes a day. Ike Is never so well pleased as when folks notice his artistic eyes and talk to him about them. " Expensive Coffins. Zlno cofflns are largely used in Vienna , but the most expensive ones are mode of copper , and cost as much as ? 2GOO , while a bronze and copper coffin recently made for a Russian archduke cost over 15,000.
