TODAY
Today is the most important
day in the history of the world
because it is the latest day—and
the only day ot its kind that
shall ever dawn.
There is no Tomorrow—To
day.
Worry shall have no part in
this day. Disappointment, Fear,
Envy, Bitterness, Regret, Anger,
Selfishness aud their like—They
are of the past a part. They
must have naught of standing or
voice in this day.
Your smile, your courtesies,
your words, your written
thoughts, vour all will count for
more Today than all your map
ped-out plans of twenty years
to come

If we could all only realize
that we have only todav and
live accordingly, the world would
be better.

Old-Time Candy Pulling.
The sugar was boiling in the
kettle, and while it boiled the
boys and girls played "snap" and
"eleven hand" and "thimble"
and "blindfold" aud another old
play which some of our elder peo-
ple will remember: "Oh, Sister
Phoebe, bow merry were we,
when We sat under the juniper
tree—the juniper three—I O."
And when the sugar had boiled
down into cundy tbey emptied it
into greased saucers, or as the
mountain folks called them,
"greased sassers,,' and set it out
to cool; and when it has cooled
each boy and girl took a saucer;
and they pulled the taffy out and
patted it and rolled it until it
hung well together; and then
they pulled it back and pulled it
out; and when it began to look
like gold the sweethearts paired
off and consolidated their taffy
and pulled against each other.
They pulled it out and doubled
it back, and looped it over and
pulled it out; and sometimes a
pearhblow cheek touched a bronz-
ed one; arid sometimes a sweet
little voice spluttered out; "You,
Jack!' and there was a suspi-
cious smack like a cow pulling
her foot out of stiff mud. They
pulled the candy and laughed
and frolicked; the girls got taffy
on their hair—the boys got taffy
on their chiuN; the girls got taffy
on their waists—the boys got)
taffy on their coat sleeves. They
pulled it till it was as bright as
a moonbeam, and then they pat-
ted it and coiled it into fantastic
shapes and set it out) to cool.
Then the courting in earnest be-
gan. They did not court tbed
as the young folks court now.
The young man led his sweet-
heart back into a dark corner
and sat down by her aod held
her band for an hour, and never
said a word, But it resulted
next year in more cabins on the
hillsides and in the hollows; and
in the years that followed the
cabins were full of candy-haired
children who grew up into a race
of the best, the bravest and the
noblest people the sun in heaven
ever shone on.
In the bright hereaftej, when
all the joys of all the ages are
gathered up and condensed into,
globules of transcendent ecstacy
I doubt whether there will Ije any-
thing half so sweet as Were the
candy-smeared ruby lips of the
country maidens to the jeans-
jacketed swains who toasted
them at the candy-pulling in
the happy long ago.
Oh! how sweet, how precious to
us all are the memories of the
happy long ago!—Bob Taylor,
in Gazette.

A Royal Dish
^ A
fHEN a Queen enters a kit-
chen, she is bent upon con-
cocting a kingly dish, and
usually Her Majesty has but a few
minutes to spare.
Fit for Royalty is that popular
delicacy known as Chicken & la
King. There is one way to pre-
pare it that is so simple that even
a Queen might condescend to turn
her hand to it. All that is required
is one green pepper, a can of bone-
less chicken, a small can of mush-
rooms, a small can of pimientos, and
a white saucc.
Here is how Her Majesty makes
Chicken & la King. The next time
that yon feel majestic, try making
it this way.
Chickcn 2l la Ring ,
'
Chicken & la King: Make a white
sauce by creaming over a low flame,
otic-fourth cup butter with two
tablespoons flour. Gradually add
one and one-half cups milk, and
cook slowly, stirring constantly,
until thick. Season with salt and
paprika. Saute one diccd green pep-*
per in a little f?t, and add it to tho
white sauce. Add one diced canned
pimiento and contents one smalt
can mushrooms. Dice tlifc con-
tents of one No. 1 size, enrrof bone-
less chicken, and simmer it for
ten minutes in the sauce. lie sure
th.it the cooking is very slow, as
rapid boiling will make the dish
far less delicate. Serve on toast on
biscuit halves or in pnlfy shells.
Chicken a la King is excellent to
serve at a chafiny dish p*r y. fx'
