Petition in Bankruptcy.
It. H. King of Whltewright lias filed
a voluntary is'tition lit bankruptcy in
the United States court here.
This iietltfon lias a number of unus-
ual features. Mr. King is a well
known younc man of the eastern part j
of the county. Some years ago lie j
went to Btduiorhcn. Tex., where he I
purchased un interest In the Toy ah j
Valley Bank of Kalmorhcn. loiter lie
sold hts Interest and two years later
he lmd sold his interest the hank sus-
pended. It develo|*‘d that Mr. King
had not notified the stockholders of
the hank that he hud sold his interest
and several judgments were rendered
against him growing out of the failure
of the bank.
In the list of liabilities is given
something like $20.(100, besides several
pages of creditors the amount of whose
claims are not known to the iietltlon-
er.
In a statement accompanying the
jietitlon. Mr. King explains Ills connec
tlon with the hank referred to uml
gives as his reason for lint being able
to better list the claims that lie tank
not lieen connected witli ttie hank for
two years and was not therefore fa-
miliar with Its business affairs.
The iietitloner gives his assets at
$100.
Divorce Grouted.
Judge W. M. Peck today granted a
divorce in the suit of Stella Durham
vs. Cannon Durham.
A divorce was also granted by
Judge Peek in the suit of Gertrude
Phillips vs. VV. A. Phillips
Tomatoes and Cheese.
Select good sized tomatoes, smooth
and round. Plunge them in boiling
water and remove the skins, then chill.
Cut them in thick slices and arrange
these on a dish with lettuce. Cover
the top of each slice with grated Amer-
ican cheese, then add a spoonful of
stiff mayonnaise and top with u stuffed
olive.
Creamed. Fish In Cucumbers.
Flake some cold cooked fish. Make a
cream sauce rather thick and add the
fish with a dash of lemon juice and
reheat. Cut three or four large cu-
cumbers in two lengthwise and scoop
out the iiiside. Drop the shells In very
hot water and leave them until heated
through, then lift out and wipe dry.
Fill these while hot with the fisb aud
serve at once on small heated plutes,
with a little watercress or parsley.
Shepherd Pie.
The leftover meat should he sliced
instead of chapped.for this recipe. But-
ter a baking dish and cover the bot-
tom with hot mashed potatoes, roar
on the gravy and sliced meat, and cov-
er with more mashed potatoes. Pile
the potatoes on lightly and leave tbs
top'uneven. Dot with butler and place
In hot oven for ten minutes.
There are many housewives who al-
ways depend ou the clerk's Judgment
on the quality of material when buy-
ing, says the Farm and Fireside. She
never realizes that there are a few aim.
pie tests which she could make at
home and would prove economical.
Linen is a material which is rather
difficult for some |*>ople to distinguish
from cotton. The linen thread is firm-
ly and smoothly twisted, breaks with
a snap, is stronger than a cotton thread,
hilt does not burn as quickly. These
tests may he made by taking two or
three warp threads (threads running ’
crossways of material) of the mule- ]
rlul which is to be tested.
Cotton threads appear fuzzy. They
are riot as firmly twisted as linen.
When thread is broken the ends are
fuzzy and burn quickly. The oil test
Is a good way to distinguish between
cotton and linen. Place a sample of
the material to be tested on u piece ’
of glass, apply some oil, let It stand i
for five minutes and hold up to the
light. If the sample appears trans-
parent it Is linen: otherwise It Is cot-
ton.
Artificial silk is often snhl for true
silk. The true silk thread Is smooth,
has a high Ulster, is tightly twisted,
much stronger than the artificial and
when burned there Is u small ball of
ash left os n residue. Artificial silk
is nothing hut cotton, it bus a high
luster and resembles true silk, but
when tested it gives the same results
as cotton’does.
Woolen material Is often sold for
pure wool when one-half or more of It
Is cotton. When testing a piece of ma-
terial always test both warp and woof
threads, because the material is apt to
lie wool one way and cotton the other.
Take two threads of material and burn.
If an odor of burning hair is produced
and a small hall of ashes appears ou
the end of the threads it Is wool. Make
the same test with some woof threads.
Cotton thread or fiber is loosely woven
and soft and fuzzy iu appearance.

“Have You Seen My Sheep?"
For this game the players stand in a
circle. One walks around on the out-
side and, touching one of the circle
players on the back, asks. "Have you
seen my sheep?" The one questioned
answers, “How was be dressed?" The
outside player then describes the dress
of some one in the circle, saying, for
instance: “He wears a red necktie. He
is dressed in gray and has low shoes."
