Aunt Emily Saw Things in a Dif-
ferent Light.
Ready to Kill Driver Who Had Almost
Run Her Down, But Had No
Mercy When She Was In
the Auto.
HOST WAS PLAINLY RESTIVE
Football Player Wanted to Show High-
Brow Company What He Could
Do In Scrimmage.
"Henry," remarked Mrs. Twobble,
"I've been thinking over something I
want to say to you."
"Shoot!" said Mr. Twobble, briefly.
"What?"
"Excuse me. Proceed."
"I wish you would try to appear
more at ease when we have company
in the house. You are not afraid of
people, I hope?"
"No," answered Mr. Twobble,
thoughtfully. "It isn't that. The peo-
ple you invite here make me so con-
foundedly uncomfortable with their
high-brow talk that I sometimes wish
they would try to start something, so
I could show them what an old-time
football player can do in a scrim
mage!"
In a street in Richmond stood Aunt
Emily, with her hat askew upon her
woolly old white head, and a large and
vicious-looking cobblestone in one
hand. She had every appearance of a
staid colored mammy of the antebel-
lum strain, who had determined tc
break somebody's jaw and was about
to begin the assault. Amid wagons,
taxicabs, traffic of all sorts dashing
madly at auntie from all sides, she
held her ground valiantly, evidently
determined not to fire that rock until
she saw the whites of her enemies'
eyes.
While thus engaged, and while the
Are shot from her outraged eyes, a gen-
tleman drew up to the curb in a finely-
equipped roadster and called out to
her:
"What in the name of common sense
are you doing there, auntie?"
To which the belligerent one re-
plied:
"Lawsie, Mistah John, one o' these
yer autovillains come 'long jes' now
and lak to knock me down. An' Ah
jes' gwine stay hyeh tell he come back,
I and Ah spects to brek he haid wif dis
yer rock."
j "Look here," said the man, "Miss
j Lou is waiting for you to come home
and get luncheon ready. Step into
ALWAYS AND ANYWHERE.

The Preacher—Tell me what is tha
best foundation for success in busi-
ness?
The Merchant—Rocks.
Surpassed.
"Jinks won't let anybody get the
better of him. No matter what they
brag of he always has something bet-
ter. What do you think he said when
a man in a bunch where he was boast-
ed of the fine ruby he had on his fin-
ger?"
"What did he say?"
"That it was nothing to the car-
buncle he had on his neck."
A Bigger Haul.
"As I was coming home." said the
man who had burst breathlessly
through the door, "footpads set upon
me and took my watch and scarfpin.'
"How lucky," commented his wife,
"that they didn't wait till Saturday
night and catch you when you were
coming home with the market bas-
ket."
Missing No Tricks.
"People are saying that you do not
stand a ghost of a show at the next
election."
"Good idea!" responded Senator
Sorghum. "I have tried to get the in-
fluence of about every other organiza-
tion. Maybe we can do something
with the Society of Psychic Re-
search."
High Art for Lowbrow.
Artist—You see, we moderns strive
for the purgation of the superfluous,
which throws the accent on the inner
urge. Do you follow me?
Friend—No, I'm ahead of you. I
came out of the asylum last week.—•

this car and I'll drive you home."
Auntie pondered for a moment be-
fore replying:
"Ah nevah road in one dose contrap-
tions."
"IH take care of you. Hurry up
now."
So auntie gathered her voluminous
skirts, and with many evident misgiv-
ings took her seat in a racing road
car that could touch ninety miles an
hour and never feel the strain. She
clung to the seat tightly as the car
started off,, and hung on for dear life
as it swung a corner. She grabbed
"Mistah John" by the arm in her friglit
and begged him to let her out as they
threaded neatly through the crowded
Richmond thoroughfares.
She was in utter and abject misery
from fear and the tears rolled down
her cheeks.
But Mistah John took to the straight
road soon and set forth for the sub-
urbs. The way was clear and he let
out a few links in the engine and the
engine hummed like a bee and sailed
down the path like a bird. Auntie
began to feel like she was flying, and
her fear gave way to a sensation of
grand delight, and by the time she
had gone ten miles she was singing
softly to herself and settled back on
the seat like an oldtime racer.
"Ratch-atch-atch atch" went the
raucous horn (Notice they don't say
"honk, honk" any more).
"What you do dat fo' Mistah John?"
asked auntie.
"I wanted to warn the colored boy
to get out of the way."
And then auntie replied.
"Shucks, Mistah John, jes' yo' run
ovah dat fool niggah. What right he
got in de way nohow?"
Which goes to show, as Winfleld Lar-
ner says, that practically everything
depends on the point of view.
Queer. •
"Had a queer thing happen as we
wero out in the auto the other day."
"Accident?"
"No. A fellow in a rig drove out
of a side street two blocks ahead of
us and ma, who was In the rear seat,
never saw him."
Not Talking Much.
"What are you going to say when
you address congress?" asked the
friend.
'I don't know yet," replied Senator
Sorghum "After the opposition I
have met with out home I don't feel
called on to make long speeches. I'm
lucky to be able to say 'Present!'"
Remarkable Dental Work.
A dental achievement of a most re-
markable nature was recently de-
scribed at a lecture in London. It
was stated that during the battle of
Neuve Chapelle a young officer, a
lieutenant in a Highland regiment, had
his face half-turned upward, when a
piece of shell struck the left side of
his face and blew away most of the
lower jaw. Incredible though it may
seem, the doctor put a new floor to
the man's mouth, actually induced two
inches of bone to grow on the lowe*
jaw, fixed complete artificial teeth
and healed the remains of the lips,
with the result that now the man is
as normal as ever, and the only re-
sult of his mishap is a slight scar on
the mouth.
sce-ht. in Copenhagen
IT is impossible now to go from
Christiania to Copenhagen by
boat, writes Mary Ethel McAnley,
from Denmark to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. All lines for passengers
have been stopped on account of the
mines, so one must go through Sweden
by rail and then cross the North sea
at Helsingborg. If you go at night the
trains are taken over on a ferr^, one
carload at a time. As the ride is 16
hours long we stopped all night at
Gothenburg, the great Swedish seaport
town and second largest town in Swe-
den. It is a great, bleak sort of a
place, not interesting, but evidently
progressive, for it is the first place in
Europe where I have ever seen any
extensive building going on, and large
houses were going up everywhere.
This town is where the great Gothen-
burg system of controlling the liquor
traffic first 3prang from. I expected
to see a very model place, but, alas!
we met six drunken men in three
squares. Perhaps they were only
sailors off duty.
The first thing we saw when he
landed in Denmark was the Kronberg
castle where Hamlet lived. It is a
wonderful old place, standing right on
the sea. The people around there say
that on dark and moonless nights the
ghost of Hamlet's father comes out
and stands on the ramparts, and waves
his long white-robed arms.
The ride from Helsingborg to Co-
penhagen takes about an hour and on
the way is Predriksborg castle, where
Queen Alexandra of England stays
when she is in Denmark. Her suite
of rorms is shown to the public when
she is not in Copenhagen. Denmark
is a country of palaces and the Rosen-
borg and Amalienborg are among the
most beautiful.
Copenhagen is absolutely full of vis-
itors, and when we arrived we went
to eight hotels before we could get
a place at any price, and the prices at
The food in Scandinavia is so differ-
ent from that in America that many
Americans become sick when they try
to live on the same things that the
natives do. They don't eat fruit and
vegetables, but live on bread, fish and
meat. The Danes are like the Nor-
wegians, for they adore fish, and even
eat fish sandwiches for breakfast. An
American lady we know here in Copen-
hagen went to a dinner party and she
was served with cold boiled codfish,
and cold fish gravy tough as leather.
She was polite and ate it, but as a re-
sult she was sick all day.
The Copenhagener likes to think
himself very Bohemian, especially in
his cafe life. The women also boast
of being Bohemian, and a great many
of them smoke cigars and drink whis-
ky. One can often see a young wom-
an enter a cafe, hang up her hat, flop
into a chair and order absinthe and a
cigar. The Danes are great drinkers
and the wine they drink takes the
place of the fruit we eat in America.
The Danish women are not nearly
so attractive as the Swedish and Nor-
wegian girls, and the women of Copen-
hagen are not so stylish as the girls
of Christiania. In Christiania one sel-
dom sees a fat man. There the men
are all big and rather angular Here
in Copenhagen tte men are inclined to
be fat, and they are much shorter
than the Norwegians.
Things are not very expensive here
in Denmark, except the things that are
imported from Germany. We paid 50
cents for a small leather strap and the
salesman said that all the leatner
goods sold in Denmark were imported
from Germany* and that the manufac-
turers of Germany were so busy mak-
ing war material that they had no time
to make straps. Fruit is, of course,
very dear. A bunch of grapes costs
a dime. In one window we saw dis-
played "American Cornmeal." It cost
10 cents for a cupful. The people

Judicial Advantages.
"A magistrate has unusual domestic
advantages over other men whose
wives are always giving them a piece
of their minds."
"What advantage has he?"
"When she starts in to give it he
can bind her over to keep the piece."
Perpetual Restraint.
"When I was a boy," said Mr. Outn-
rox, "my father used to reprove me
for reading dime novels."
"It was meant for the best."
"But a person ought to get beyond
that sort of discipline sometime. Now
my daughters reprove me for wanting
to see all the moving pictures."

some of the hotels were as bad as in
America. Ever since we have been
here we have seen taxicabs full of
j strangers frantically driving around
| trying to get a place to sleep.
Copenhagen is a very dirty town.
The city evidently tries to keen things
cleaned up, and everywhere you see
the sign "Spytning formudL" This
does not mean spying forbidden as it
at first seems, but merely spitting for-
bidden. Everybody here rides the bi-
cycle, from the boy of six to the wom-
an of seventy. The bicyclers take up
all the street room and part of the
sidewalk. They are very much like
the taxis in New York city—they don't
care whether they run over you or
not.
Are Partial to Phones.,
Next to bicycle riding the most pop-
ular exercise is telephoning. Every-
body telephones all the time, and the
little bells jingle everywhere. Every
street corner has a telephone booth.
These booths look like a cupboard
standing on a table. When you want
to telephone you step inside the ta-
ble, put your head in the cupboard,
close the doors and none of the out-
side noises can be heard. If you see
a fine building in Scandinavia, it is
not a bank, nor a hotel, nor yet a
palace, but it is a telephone building

don't buy it, and they would not know
what to do with it if they did.
We asked if there were many peo-
ple going to Berlin and the bureau
said that the trains were crowded all
the time, mostly with business men,
who haa been in Copenhagen trading.
The trading that is going on is enor-
mous, and the boats and trains are
loading and unloading all the time.
There is work for everybody, for be-
sides the trade created by the war,
they are turning a big boulevard into
a canal. The people are not so gay
as in other years with so much to do.
The war has sobered them down.
Copenhagen is full of soldiers, offi-
cers, privates and generals, and proud
is the maid that goes swinging along
hanging on to the arm of an officer.
While the officers are not 30 absolute-
ly enchanting as the Viennese officers
some of them look very nice. We
passed the barracks at dinner time
and we raw the privates down in the
cellar of the building eatings If that
is what they get in time ot peace 1
wonder what the poor fellows would
get If Denmark should get into war.
They had the roughest kind of food
which they seemed to be eating with
a relish. Everywhere soldiers are
training, but Denmark does not be-
lieve tnat there is any danger of he'
being dragged into the ws=-.
VEGETABLE VALUABLE IN GIVING
VARIETY TO MENU.
Care Bestowed on Its Preparation Will
Be Well Repaid by the Tastiness
Which Is Its Characteristic
When Well Seasoned.
The eggplant is plentiful and at its
best just now. Well seasoned and
carefully cooked, it may give in many
disguises many varieties to the menu.
Many of the recipes given below are
from southern France, where the egg-
plant is the favorite vegetable. When
choosing an eggplant select one of
medium size and firm, otherwise it
may be too ripe and full of grains in-
side. However great the virtues of
the eggplant may be, remember that
by itself it is quite tasteless; so sea-
son and season well.
Eggplant Salad.—Put in the oven
one eggplant, five green peppers and
two tomatoes. You will bake the
tomatoes first, then the peppers, and
the eggplant last. Gradually skin,
grain and drain off the above vege-
tables. Use a silver knife. Arrange
in a dish. On a moderate fire in a
half cupful of olive oil fry a small
onion cut into small pieces and half
a cupful of olives stoned and cut into
pieces. When the onion is slightly
brown add everything to the dish. Salt
and pepper to taste and add two table-
spoonfuls of good wine vinegar. To
be eaten cold.
Broiled Eggplant.—Cut the eggplant
in two lengthwise. Put in a mar-
inate composed of two tablespoonfuls
of olive oil, one teaspoonful salt, one-
half teaspoonful of pepper and some
parsley. Leave it to marinate for an
hour or more. Broil and serve with
the marinate.
Fried and Au Gratin.—When you
cut an eggplant into pieces for frying
or other purposes be sure to sprinkle
it with salt and let it stand under a
weight for about two hours. Drain
off the water, dry well and then fry.
For the gratin cover with either to-
mato or white sauce and bake for
from 15 to 20 minutes.
For Fritters.—Soak the pieces two
hours in milk; dry and fry, using the
following recipe for fritter batter: One
cupful flour, two teaspodftifuls of bak-
ing powder, one-fourth teaspoonful
salt, one-fourth cupful milk, two eggs
one tablespoonful lemon j rioe. Sift
the dry ingredients; add the well beat-
en eggs, lemon ji.ice and milk. Beat
well. Prepare a few hours ahead.
Stuffed Eggplant.—Cut the eggplant
lengthwise. Make incisions with a
knife, salt and let stand for an hour.
Drain off the water; cut the pulp
and fry it for a few minutes in oil.
Pound well; add four tablespoonfuls
of pounded bam, a teaspoonful of pars-
ley, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with
crumbs, to which may be added some
parmesan. Put over it a little oil and
bake in an oiled pan for an hour. Of
course you may use butter instead of
oil, but the olive oil blends itself bet-
ter with the eggplant. If instead of
ham you use hashed mutton, cooked
rice and a bit of garlic and pimento
you may call this dish "eggplant a la
Turcque."
Eggplant and Tomatoes.—Peel the
eggplants; cut lengthwise in pieces
one-half inch thick. Salt, let stand
and dry. Put in a pan; cover with a
well seasoned tomato sauce. Cover
the pan and cook on a moderate fire
for an hour.

How to Split a Short Cake.
Almost every housewife knows how
troublesome it is to split either short
cake or a loaf cake without having it
heavy and soggy, and especially is
this so when the cake is hot. I man-
age in this way: As soon as the cake
is taken from the oven I make a slight
incision with sharp knife where 1
want the cake divided. In this I in-
sert a strong thread and by holding
one end in each hand I draw the
thread gently backward and forward
until I have the cake divided to my
satisfaction.
Leg of Lamb.
Get a leg of lamb, put plate in bot-
tom of kettle, place leg of lamb on
top, then dressing pinned up in cloth.
Dip clfith in hot water, flour and place
the dressing in the middle of cloth,
tie or pin up tight. Place on top of
lamb, boil until done, then press lamb
and dressing together and slice when
cold. Take the water lamb was boiled
in, add one carrot, two onions and po-
tatoes. Place one-fourth cupful of rice
on stove to cook, add to stew just be-
fore serving.
Jellied Veal.
Materials.—Cold roast of veal, two
cupfuls; one tablespoonful gelatin,
seasoning.
Utensils.—Breadpan, saucepan, meat
grinder.
Directions.—Stew pieces of roast in
a little water until tender. Grind or
chop meat and season highly. Dis-
solve gelatin in one cupful of water
in which meat was cooked; mix with
meat and mold in breadpan. Chill and
serve in slices.
Creamed Chipped Beef.
Put one tablespoonful butter in tha
frying pan. When melted put in ones-
fourth pound chipped beef and fry un-
til well browned, stirring often to
keep from scorching. Add one pint
milk. When it begins to boil thicken
with one rounding tablespoonful flour
dissolved in a little water. This makes
the gravy a little brown. Try It and
see If the flavor isn't better for frying
the beef.
