covered that the crisp, brown little tubes,

ery. Large, firm stalks were chosen, and
after being cut were dipped In egg and
cracker crumbs, fried in deep fat or sauteed
In butter, and were served with a brown
sauce. In the original Instance this vege
table was served with fowl. It Is also nice
with fish, creamed In the chafing dish with

a politician is acknowledged by his fellow
members of the New York board of alder
men. When a lad on festive occasions
Little Tim knew what o'clock It was. He

cheeked laxsiea of that neighborhood ot
peachy young women.
Little Tim and Colonel Mike had be
tween them exactly tl: no more, no lena.
Supper time came. Before taking the girls
into the supper room Little Tim and
Colonel Mike secretly scanned the bill of
fare and found that oyster stews at
twenty-five cents each would Just fit the
pile. Liltle Tim blandly and Innocently
impressed this conclusion upon the young
girls.
.Anything Little Tim said was accepted
as the top-notch of hospitality. The four
stews were before the little party. One
of the girls liked catsup. While ad
ministering a dose of the condiment the
stopper shot into the stew and with It
spurted half the bottle's contents.
"There, I've spoiled my slew," piped
the beauteous one. "I'll have to have
another."
Little Tim, alive to the size of ths Joint
wad of a dollar, readied for the girl's
ruined stew, plumped It before Colonel
Mike, grabbed Colonel Mike's untasted
and unadorned stew, and, placing it be
fore the girl, soothingly said:
"No, no, girlie; Colonel Mike never eats
any oyster stew without dousing it with
catsup. He likes 'em that way don't you
