Fooling Johnnie Green. When Mrs. Bobolink saw Johnnie Green, carrying a tin pail, come Walking through th meadow straight towards her house she wa terribly frightened. She was not afraid for herself. Her only thought was of her children, who were still too young to leave the nest. Somehow Mrs. Bobolink felt sure that Johnnie was searching for her nest, for he had his head bent toward the ground, as if he were looking tor something. And that bright tin pail. Mrs. Bobolink viewed it with alarm. She just knew that it was meant to carry off her children! Of course Johnnie Gren was only looking for strawberries. But Mrs. Bobolink didn't know that.. All at once she remembered how she had objected to having her nest in the! very center of the meadow, although her husband had told her that he thought it the safest place. And it came back to her, too, how she had (And then Bobby Bobolink made ! tfreat fus&A said that Johnnie Green would never come into the lower end of the mea dow, near Cedar Swamp, for fear of getting his feet wet. Poor Mrs. Bobolink choked as she thought how foolish she had been. But it was too late to move now. And she didn't see what she was go ing to do. She wished Bobby was at home, though she had no idea how he could have headed off Johnnie Green who was fast drawing nearer. As soon as she could speak she called "Chenk, chenk!" at the top of her voice. She could think of noth ing else to say. Luckily Bobby was not far away. And hearing his wife's alarm call, he turned to hurry home. But seeing Johnnie Green, lie swerved sharply aside and dropped down upon a tuft of grass not too near the nest. An then Bobby Bobolink made a great fuss.- He cried "Chink, chinkl" over and over again, now fluttering into the grass, now bobbing into tight again. Johnnie Green couldn't help noticing him. "There must be a nest there 1' he excalimed under his breath. And he ran quickly to the spot where Bobby was acting so queerly. But when he got there Johnnie found nothing. Bobby Bobolink had fooled him. He never knew how near he came to stumbling upon the nest, before Bobby played that trick on him. Mrs. Bobolink was greatly relieved when Johnnie Green left her end of the meadow. And she told her hus band that she had never supposed Johnnie would come where it was so damp, for fear of getting his feet wet Bobby Bobolink did not tell her that he had known all the time that a little water never troubled Johnnie Green so long as he didn't have to wash his face in it. fepyrtght Orcwol Puntap.

Adv Is a Cake Used at Weddings? Long before the introduction of the wedding ring, some two thou sand years ago, the counterpart of what is now known as the "wed ding cake" or "bride's cake," was an established institution, although, like most customs that date back to the early days, it must be admitted that the precise origin of the "bread cere mony" at primitive weddings is shrouded in mystery. Among ancient writers on the sub ject, Quintus Curtius is probably the most definite and reliable, for he quotes the laws of Romulus, based upon those of the Etruseans and the other races whose advent preceded the foundation of Rome. In those days, it appears to have been cus tomary for the families of the "young couple" to enter into certain pre-nuptial agreements for the fu ture provision of their son and daughter much as "showers" are given to the bride at the present time. These agreements. were rati fied at the marriage festival, and accompanied by a lavish outpouring of corn,'oil and other kinds of food, a ceremony -wnicn pracucauy con stituted the wedding itself. Instead of adopting this elaborate process of joining husband and wife. Romulus devised a simpler method known as confarreatio, whereby the contracting parties simply ate a loaf of barley bread together and solem nized their union at once. This eas way of plunging into matrimony r mained in force for many years among the Romans, but gradually, with the spread of more effete civil ization, the loaf of barley bread was transformed into a cake of a more delicate texture and finally into the elaborately-iced structure which is now a part of every ceremonious wedding.

L. KING. Stirring to the Right. If you want to have your bread or cake come out of the oven light always stitr the dough from left to right that is "clockwise" or "with the sun." Also in freezing ice cream or churning milk with a crank churn, always turn from left to right. If, after turning the crank of a churn for a while "with the sun" you change and turn it the other way you undo all the churning you have done; and in making soap if you stir it after a while from right to left, or against the sun, it will turn back into lye. Any housewife of the old school can tell you that.. I his superstition is a remnant of sun-worship and the movement from left to right " is what is called the. "ceremonial circuit." Not only in stirring cake, but in dealing cards do we preserve the "ceremonial circuit" though it would seem much more natural to deal the other way. But the "ceremonial circuit" is the path in which the sun-god moves and tlie direction in which those processions of priests and people, his votaries moved when celebrating his rites, either' at Heliopolis . of Stonchenge.. Stirring from left to right is merely in unconscious, inherited form of invoking the sun-god to see that your cake, or your game of bridge, comes out in a satisfactory manner.

Manawa Pagk OPENS SATURDAY Real Estate Man Denies Divorce Suit Allegation "I'll have plenty to say when the time comes," declared Otto Nilsson, secretary of the C. B. Stuht company, realtor, yesterday at his office in the City National Bank building. He was named in a suit answer filed in district court Tuesday by John A. Farnberg of the O'Donnell Grain company, to the petition of his wife, Lela, for a divorce. "I know Mrs. Farnberg, of course, but that is all, and I won't be made the goat by any man in his domestic troubles." Of the $40,000 Ed Kline, erstwhil near-beer dispenser and much sued man, only $11 remains, according ta his testimony offered in district court yesterday at the hearing of an alienation suit for $10,000 brought in district court against him by Adelbert McLeran. McLeran claims Kline stole tha af-t fections of his wife, Edith. Klinfl says Edith called him on the teU- phone so often he finally gave in. Soon after Kline inherited thi money from the estate of his father who was a wealthy farmer in Car roll, la., his first wife sued hira for $10,000 for the support of their, twei boys. Kline settled for $450. His second wife had their marriage an- nulled because she learned that auffi.. cient time had not intervened be tween her, former divorce and her subsequent marriage. Then Dis trict Judge Wakeley ordered Klino to. put in trust $1,650 to be paid at the rate of $25 a month for the sup- port of an invalid son,' Lyle. "Of the whole flock, I only have 11 berries left and I don't see how McLeran is going to , get $10,000 from me," Kline said. , Ed is now looking for a job, ready-to take up the white apron again. , Leave stems about one inch long on beets, otherwise the color will cook out.
