NOT SO BAD
An old farmer sat on his back steps
hnd moodily regarded the ravages of
the flood. A neighbor pulled up in a
rattling wagon.
“Whoa I” yelled the neighbor. “Say,
Jed, your hogs was all washed down
the creek an’ they’re all dead.”
“How about Flaherty’s hogs?” asked
the farmer.
“They’re gone, too.”
“And Larsen’s?”
“Washed away.”
“Humph!” ejaculated the rustic,
Cheering up. “’Taint as bad as I

pened. Every night found her at the
show. 'Not being overburdened with
the coin of the republic, the girls of
her set went in “bunches,” “Dutch
treat.” Every night Nance made one
of a “bunch,” and every night she saw
her hero in several different roles.
She had' wept when as a cowboy, he
was stretched by his neck from the
limb of a tree, only to gaze at him
with adoring eyes in the next picture,
making ardent love to a charming
woman. She had seen him as a hardy
frontiersman perform deeds of daring'
impossible for any but him to per-
form ; she had suppressed a shriek
when wild Indians tied him to a stake,
piled him about with brush and set
fire to it. As the blaze burst forth,
and was about to envelop the strug-
gling man, the picture went off the
screen. Her bleeding heart, however,
was healed by his appearance in the
next picture, unhurt, skipping gayly
arm in arm with a pretty girl in a
mortar board, he himself being a col-
lege student, full of deviltry and tricks.
Up hill and down dale, through the
mazes of the different pictures, Nance
followed him, now laughing, now cry-
ing, now secretly jealous (for of the
women in the pictures to whom he
made love Nance was furiously jeal-
ous). Her chum Annie poked all man-
ner of fun at her, but Nance was sev-
enteen and susceptible—and so it went.
The man of her admiration was cer-
tainly a fine-looking fellow, in the pic-
tures. His motions were easy and nat-
ural; he did, not scamper about, like
a quail just out of the shell; nor did
he roll his eyes, grin idiotically, and
nod his head rapidly back and forth,
as though it were on hinges; or grasp
his lady-love to his heart, in the spas-
modic, unnatural manner of so many
of the moving pictures. His every mo-
tion was natural and easy; his laugh
was spontaneous—“almost audible,”
Nance said. The oftener she wit-
nessed ail this the deeper grew her
infatuation.
She carefully noted the names and
addresses of the producers of the films
in which her hero appeared, and wrote
them down in a little book for future
reference. A determination had taken
ropt; to blossom into flower In her
mind. No less an idea than to wit-
ness a rehearsal of the actors for the
moving pictures a*nd see in the flesh
.the man she worshiped in pantomime.
She studied over the subject for
some time. In love up to the top of
her silly golden head though she was,
and with all the ardor of her seven-
teen years, she yet shrunk from pre-
senting her pretty face at the door
of these strange people and stating
her errand.
At last a happy thought struck her:
she would disguise herself and ask for
a job as an actress. But after taking
her chum Annie into her confidence,
they decided that both should go to
the gallery. Annie was to apply for
the job and Nance was to be her
mother who accompanied her. No one
would notice a shabby, bespectacled
old woman, huddled in a corner wait-
ing for her daughter.
Accordingly, one night, arrayed in
their “makeup,” they went to one of
the prominent galleries on Nance’s list.
They were gruffly told to be seated
and wait awhile; the “boss” was busy.
This just suited them, and shrinking
as far back as possible out of sight
in the shadow, t£ey kept their ears
and eyes open.
Several men and women got up from
the seats, or strolled from one or more
of the groups standing about, went
through various contortions before the
camera, and retired, and others took
their place. As yet, however, Nance’s
hero had not made his appearance.
From the back of the stage a group,
consisting of a man, woman and three
children, came forward and sat on the
bench in front of the girls. The man
was tall, broad-shouldered, and had
the look of an iron molder, or some
kindred trade. He was rolling a ciga-
rette as he advanced; his face was
unshaven; his hair uncombed, and he
had the air of a striker who had given
up hope. He sank on the seat beside
the big, coarse, flabby woman and
took one of the children on his knee.
“Whatcher goin’ ter be t’night, pop?’’
asked the urchin, gazing admiringly
at the rings of smoke, curling around
“pop’s” head.
“Search me,” replied “pop,” sending
more rings aloft.
“Goin’ ter git kilt?” persisted his
son.
“Can’t say. -May git tied up ter a
peacherino, instead,” he returned, life-
lessly. His wife looked dully at him.
“I’m on fer a apple woman,” she an-
nounced.
“Yell?” indifferently. He curled
more rings.
The watching girls behind him could
not help but hear the conversation of
this group, as also the sallies tossed
back and forth among the other groups
about the room. The girls were nearly
all chewing gum; the men were smok-
ing cigarettes; coarse talk and jests
were heard on every hand.
The only time the man in front of
them showed any interest was when
one of the girls stole up behind one
play with this fellow in front of us,”
she ended, making a grimace. Annie
nodded approval of the sentiment.
“If lie doesn’t come pretty soon we’ll
have to go,”' Nance whispered pres-
ently, looking longingly at tlfe door.
Just then a man came out on the
stage and called a name. The man
with the woman and children got up
and went forward. Shedding his coat, I
lie tossed it to the woman, who let it
lie where it fell at her feet. „\Vith the
aid of a brush lie flattened his hair
close to ids head; then he slipped into
a pair of fringed “chaps,” buckled a
belt of cartridges about his waist,
thrust a six-shooter in his belt, drew
a wig over his head, slapped on a
broad-brimmed hat, and Nance, star-
ing with eyes almost popping out of
her head, saw her hero as a cowboy,
before her in the flesh. Too dazed, too
dutnfounded to move, she sat staring
at the realization of her dream. Annie
also stared—then giggled.
As Nance, assisted by Annie, got to
her feet, she had a vague impression
that her hero y as embracing a beau-
tiful woman. She dimly heard him tell
the lady “Get on ter yer curves,” and
the lady’s reply, “Aw, fade away! Go
chase yerself around tlier block and
holler 'Fire’!”
As she staggered rather than-walked
to tiie door, one of the men offered
to assist her.
“Yer fua’s feeble on her pins,” he
remarked, sympathetically.
“She’s very old,” lied Annie, adjust-
ing the veil over Nance’s face, with
tender filial care, and bending her own
head so as to conceal the laughter
that threatened to burst all bounds.
Dragging Nance along, she whisked
her around the first cornet’, and sink-
ing on to the steps of a house in the
alley, gave vent to uncontrollable
laughter. Nance sat huddled beside
her, the shabby old woman’s bonnet
bowed on the outstretched arms, too
wretched to resent her chum’s mirth.
Hearing voices approaching, and
there not being time to escape unseen,
Annie bowed her head on her breast,
and leaned back against the house.
A dozen or more of the actors going
from rehearsal turned into the alley.
As they passed what they supposed
to be two beggars each threw a coin
in Annie’s lap. When the voices had
died away in the distance Annie count-
ed her coins.
laUUU i> U !VI IV11K UlblitS
“One dollar and sixty cents 1 I can
se*e him sixteen times, ‘Dutch treat,’ ”
she cried, grabbing Nance by the arm,
and starting to run. But Nance had
lost all desire to see her Pantomime
Hero—either “Dutch treat,” or other-
wise—nor would she touch a cent of
the “tainted money” her chum had ob-
tained “under false pretensions.”
And now, if you want to make Nance
furious, just ask her to go to a mov*
Ing picture show.
Curious Relics Kept
in English Churches
Some of the parish churches of Eng-
land are veritable museums of quaint
and curious objects, if one knows
where to look for them.
At Frensham, for instance, may be
seen the “Witch’s Cauldron,” a gigan-
tie iron cooking-pot. The story goes
that it was deposited in the church
tower by one “Mother Iudlum,” a fam-
ous local witch, who flew with it
through the air on a broomstick.
In the church of St. Mary Redcliffe,
at Briston, is preserved a rib, said to
be that of the fabled “dun cow,” which
was so big that it was able to furnish
milk for all the inhabitants of the
town. Unbelieving scientific people,
hoyvever, declare the rib to be that of
a whale—possibly a cow^vhale.
Caister parish church sets great
store by its “gad-whip,” thought to
have been used by a certain “holy wo-
man” who used to whip herself with
it. The stock of thb whip is made up
of four pieces of wych-elm of differ-
ent lengths, denoting the four gospels,
and at the end of the thong is a leath-
er purse, probably intended to receive
the alms of the faithful.
At Heckfield church, Hants, is a
huge oaken money client dating from
the time of the Crusades.
j Astonished Old Lady
Whippet races are called "poor
man’s races” in England, miners in
particular being addicted to the sport.
There is a story in dog-running circles
there concerning a dear old lady who
happened to travel by train through
Lancashire in the whippet-racing sea-
son.
Unknown to her, the smoking com-
partment next door was filled with
miners and their dogs.
Leaning out of the window to see
the scenery, the old lady observed a
finely pointed whippet’s head thrust
out of the next window.
Shortly after, when observing the
scenery from the other side of the car-
riage, she was appalled to see a dog’s
tail protruding from the next window.
“Good heavens!” she gasped. “I
wouldn’t have believed that there was
a dog that size in the world.”
Peas, asparagus, cucumbers, onions,
fresh carrots, tomatoes, strawberries,
cherries, raspber-
ries, currants—
what a wealth we
have to dra
upon in the sum-
mer months. We
are doubly blessed
if we can gather
these fruits and
vegetables fresh from our own gar-
dens.
\Cook green peas In as little wa-
ter as possible, saving the liquor, if
any, and add cream and butter with
a sprinkling of salt and a dash of
white pepper; eaten with bread and
buttter, who could ask for a better
meal?
Pea Soup.—Cook a pint of green
peas until soft, saving the liquor In
which they were cooked. Put the
peas through a puree strainer, add
the liquor. Scald one quart of milk
with a slice of onion, remove the onion
and thicken the milk with two table-
spoonfuls of flour mixed with two of
butter, cooked together until smooth;
add to the milk and bring to the boil-
ing point. Serve with a spoonful of
whipped cream on each cup, sprinkled
with chopped chives, if liked.
Chicken in Aspic.—Wash and put a
four-i«»ound chicken into a kettle with
two quarts of boiling water, one onion
sliced, one-half cupful of diced celery,
one-eighth teaspoonful of celery seed,
a sprig or two of parsley, a bit of bay
leaf, one small carrot diced, two tea-
spoonfuls of salt and one-quarter tea-
spoonful of pepper. Cook slowly until
tender. Set away to cool, remove the
chicken and skim off the fat. Heat
the broth, add the egg and shells to
clarify, one-half teaspoonful of salt
and one-quarter teaspoonful of pap-
rika, one-eighth teaspoonful of nutmeg
and the juice of half a lemon. Add
three tablespoonfuls of gelatin which
has been soaked in three-fourths of a
cupful of cold water; stir until the
gelatin is dissolved and strain through
a double cheesecloth. Mold as for
veal, adding asparagus tips, and
canned pimentoes, or stuffed sliced
olives.
Dishes That Please.
A most tender and delicious cake
may be made with but a few moments
work, as follows:
Gold Cake’.—Take one
and one-third cupfuls of
pastry flour after It is
sifted four times. As
pastry flour packs much
more firmly than bread
flour, this process is nec-
essary. To the flour add
three-fourths of a cupful
of sugar, two teaspoon-
fuls of baking powder,
one-half teaspoonful of salt; stir well,
then add one-third cupful of mazola oil,
one-half cupful of cold water, one-half
teaspoonful each of lemon and vanilla
and the yolks of two eggs unbeaten.
Whip the white until stiff and add to
the flour mixture after it has been
well blended. Fold the whites in
lightly and bake in layers or in a flat
loaf pan. Cover with any desired top-
ping.
Supper Dish.—Spread slices of stale
bread with butter and lay In a baking
dish, using the amount needed to sup-
ply the appetites of the family. To
two eggs lightly beaten add a pint of
milk with a bit of salt: Over the
bread sprinkle a generous quantity of
minced cheese—the rich kind, cover
with the custard and bake in a slow
oven until puffy and the custard Is set
Serve at once. t
Jellied Vegetables.—Soak two table-
spoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful
of cold water. Pour over this one
cupful of boiling water and add a
tablespoonful of sugar, one-half tea-
spoonful of salt, and a few grains of
cayenne. Stir until the gelatin and
sugar are dissolved; then add one
tablespoonful of lemon juice and two
tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar.
Set this liquid over ice, and as It be-
gins to stiffen add to it one cupful of
finely shaved cabbage, one green pep-
per, cut Into tiny dice, and two cooked
beets that have stood in vinegar and
then are cut into dice. Turn Into wet
individual molds, or one large one,
and chill. Unmold and serve with
slices of cob’ tongue or corned beef.
Spanish Meat Dish.—Take any left-
over meat in neat slices or cut Into
serving-sized pieces, place in a well-
greased baking dish, cover with a layer
of thinly sliced uncooked potatoes ; if
time is short parboil them, cover with
a layer of finely sliced onions and top
with a layer of canned tomatoes.1 Cook
in a moderate oven until the potatoes
are done. Serve with a sprinkling of
cooked green peas over the. top.
Concordia Bar !e Due.—Use three-
fourths as much sugar as fruit. Wash
the currants carefully and place in a
saucepan with just enough water to
cover the bottom of the pan. Bring
to a boil and add half of the sugar,
boil ten minutes, then add the rest of
the sugar, then continue boiling for
half an hour. Seal with paraffin.
