The Farmers’ State 5ank PRESTON, NEBRASKA Under State Supervision and Control SPOILED BY A COOK CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE IN A WOMENS BOARDING HOUSE. Hov a Famished Tableful Had to Wait for Their Turkey Until the Bel ligerent Female Could Be Coaxed from the Room. “My most unpleasant and yet most comical experience of Christmas keep ing." said the concert singer, “dates bark to the time when I lived for economy's sake in a home for working women. The cook we liar! was a good one. and so. when Christmas day came, we all fell assured that at one o'clock we should have our orthodox turkey arid plum pudding dinner. “Hut one bottle of whisky, smug gled into a Christian kitchen, will up set the expectations of 30 hungry hoarders, .lust how many drinks Hie rook had that morning. I cannot say. lull when dinner time came she was belligerently drunk. The turkey was as well roasted as though she had been sober, but what was that, to the hoarders In general, when she stood over It, carving-knife in hand, declar ing that not a soul in that dining-room should have a mouthful of it hut mamma and myself? "Vainly did the matron threaten and entreat. The determined cook was no! to tie disarmed. Mamma and i were bountifully helped, but the others sat and waited, wondering what would be the outcome of the trouble. Finally, the defeated matron came out of the kitchen, and with tears in her voice, said to me: "'I can do nothing with her. Will you go In and see what you can do?’ "And so I went in, and in my most affable manner invited intoxicated Hridget to sit down and have a friend ly cup of tea with myself. She com plied, though with tm eye still on the turkey. After we had had our tea, by exerting all of my arts and wiles I per suaded her to go up stairs and to bed. It was not until she was safely out of (lie kitchen that dinner was served to tlie other hoarders. “Of course (lie next day there was a bad quarter of an hour for that rook, one that ended with her 'getting her duds together and skipping.' Many, in fact, all of us, were ready to plead for tier, knowing that she could not easily be replaced; but the matron was adamant, protesting that in her experience with the creature she had already forgiven her until seventy times seven, and she wasn't going to forgive her again. And I heard afler ward that it. was really a year or more before the woman was taken back again into that kitchen. "Naturally, it was easier for the other boarders, who, you may be sure, resented that ‘inwasion of their wit ties,’ to forgive tin' cook than to make friends with mamma and me, and from that time on we were the most unpop ular persons in the house. We had been ruined by a cook’s favor. It would not have mattered so much about the boarders, but the defection of her kitchen head was too much for liie matron’s magnanimity, and as she managed the lady managers of that Institution, It was not very long before we too, in our culinary friend's lan guage, had to ’get our duds together and skip.’ ” HOW ST. NICK FOOLED JOHNNY. The Boy's Parent Bought Useful Pres ents When Santa Passed Him By "I'll lay for St. Nicholas,” Johnny said to liis little sister. Sue. “Why?" she asked. "If he wants to leave useful pres ents I'll just stop him!” was his boastful answer. "You'd best not!" Sue said—girls have these premonitions. lie said: “Pshaw, I'm as foxy as St. Nicholas!” and while his little sister lay asleep he watched. Time passed. The clock struck mid night, Then he saw his papa and his mamma entering silently with certain bundles. “What's up?" he called to them. "Where's St. Nicholas? I've been lay ing for him bo's to head him off from leaving clothes and things as he did last year!" "Hash boy!” said his father.’after a moment of reflection. “Your mamma overheard your audacious plan— which almost kept St. Nicholas from the house! I assure you 1 would uot have Intervened but for the sake of your sister.” “How? What?” asked John. "Hush! Yes, St. Nicholas was very angry you should dare to criticise his gifts. He weuld have passed us alto gether had 1 not gone to the roof and said: 'St. Nicholas, don't go off like that. 1 have a little daughter who is innocent. Give me her presents!’” “Did he give them, papa?" asked the boy. “For sure.” “Then what are those store bundles?” "They are your gifts!" answered papa, spreading out the useful ob jects—I think that it was a new hat, overshoes and an umbrella. As St. Nicholas left nothing for you. your mamma and I went out and bought them!" A Perpetual Christmas Present. Mrs. Caller—You surely don't give your husband a necktie every Christ mas?

"Mrs. Skinem.” lie timidly began as the landlady <>f the boarding house came to her floor in answer to his knock, "I—I called to see you just a moment regarding the Christmas din ner." "Well,” she asked with a scowl that made him wish he was a thousand miles away. "You see," he went on, "we—we were talking it over just now, and we derided that it would be best not to have turkey or plum pudding or ice cream on Christmas, as—” "Stop right where you are, sir— stop right where you are!" rut in the landlady, angrily. “Who do you think is running this boarding house, any way?" "Why, you, of course, ma'am.” "Who provides the meals here at great trouble and expense?” "You do, my dear Mrs. Skinem." “Who sees that the people of this house always get what’s best, for them to eat?” "You—you do, Mrs. Skineni.” "Am 1 a woman, do you think, who Is capable of running a first-class hoarding house as one should be run?" she demanded to know as she looked him up and down in a way to make his hair curl with fear. "You—you certainly are," he prompt ly replied. “Well, then," she said, “you may go down and tell the other boarders that, just as long as I am at the head of this place and pay the rent and buy the provisions I propose to do as 1 see fit. and 1 will take no orders, sir, regard ing the meals." And instead of the beef stew and bread pudding that Mrs. Skinem had planned for the Christmas dinner she provided a 20 pound turkey and a mammoth plum pudding and a gallon of ice cream, and she went around nil day with a chip on her shoulder, just wishing that some one would make a complaint about it. But there were no complaints. There were only chuckles and smiles and whispers over the little game that had been played so neatly on Mrs. Skinem. and sometimes a shiver as some of the more timjd thought of what would happen if the husky land lady ever learned of it. LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS. Stockings Hung on Door of Mother Abbess in French Convents. There grew up a custom in Christian countries of giving presents in secret on the Vigil of St. Nicholas. In Italy it was called the Zopasta, which means in Spanish a shoe, be cause the gifts were put into shoes to surprise people when they should put them on in the morning. In many French convents the board ers used to place each her silk stock ing at the door of the room of the Mother Abbess, reeommending them selves at the same time to St. Nicholas And In Germany a boy dressed as a bishop would go round in vestments and mitre and fill the stockings hung up. This solemnity of the boy bishop came to be kept here with much care and ceremony on the feast of St. Nicholas to commemorate his youth and his patronage of children. In Salisbury cathedral there is, or was, a monument to one of these boy bishops who died during his term of office. The same custom was observed in Spain, and In Switzerland until the end of the eighteenth century. At one place in England, the convent of God stowe, In Oxfordshire, public prayers were said by a little girl dressed as an abbess. The custom, stopped here first by Henry VIII. and afterward by Queen Elizabeth, was in a different form carried on by the Dutch in America and became in the end the secularized ceremony we still use here of Santa Claus, a person dressed in Dutch or German winter clothes of the sixteenth century.

Not a remedy that will etraJghten the flistorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. , In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—I found the last ingredient with Which Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now. at last, it uni formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with out help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy (ALL DEALERS) j WINTER JOURNEYS WINTER TOURIST RATES Daily 1 ow excursion rates after November 20th to Southern and Cuban resorts.
