Che morning after the 'phone wa stalled Mrs. Admington started t t It to most practical use, that o lering things for dinner from th irket. She was thinking how pleas t it was just to ring a bell and te! ? grocer what to send. !Iia Hnn-n flio ro(<oit-or nnrt Till I to her ear, but was somewhat vexe hear a man's voice and discover tha i line was busy. I'll have to wait, and I'm in such rry," she pouted, but romemberin errand in another part of the hous< e busied herself for a few moments ?r next try at the 'phone found th e still busy. Mrs. Admington wa nptcd for a second to listen, bu In't think that would be quite fai: again she hung up the receiver an t' down to wait till the line shoul disengaged. She fidgeted in a littl lir for a minute that seemed ten an n went to the 'phone again, sayin herself: Those people must be through tali ; by this time." Jut they were not. and as Mrs. Ac Iigton took down tne receiver 10 third time to call up central Rh ird the emphatic declaration of : 7 decided young woman: Well. I.don't care. I'm going t rry him anyway." Irs. Admington knew that she ough drop the receiver, but she couldu' go. It was glued to her ear. And rway. the nest instant she hear voice of the man she had hear ce before, and he had been monopc ng that wire long enough. But how long did you say you hav >wn him?" he was asking the youn why, I've known him only tw pks," was the reply, "but I've see i an awful lot in that time."

I'll be twenty-one in a couple l<* of months." ,? "And liow old are his children?" "The boy is fifteen and the girl only ten." spoke up the young lady, evi)r dently without fear of tackling so l(j tough a job as looking after the youngsters. :e The man was silent for an instant, j trying to think of something else to switch the young woman off the matrimonial track. Mrs. Admington was hoping he would be successful, but he ie wasn't, se he fired a weak parting shot. "Well," he began, hopelessly, "all I if can say to you is that if you marry that d man after having known him only two ie weeks you will be doing a very foolish thing, and in looking after those two children you will certainly have your work cut out for you." "1 don t caro ll 1 CIO, came lue vuac Iof the young woman snappishly. "I've thought it all over and I'm going to marry him anyway." Mfs. Admington wasn't able to contain herself any longer. She had no sooner* heard the young lady's ultimatum than she broke into th? conver" sation with: "Don't you do it. If you do you're n a perfect goose and you ought to know n it." d Mrs. Admington heard gasps of surr prise from the other two, and then the r. voice of the man: d "Well, who in thunder are you?" I- "I'm not in thuuJer anybody," e snapped Mrs. Admington, "but I'm r considerably older than the young lady r at the other end of the wire, and I've e learned a few things she ought to know 1- before she marries a man twice as n old as herself and with two children s as big as she is." * "Pirv vou didn't learn not to listen g to private conversations," snapped the s voice of the young wour.n. "And another pity y/u didn't know n -better than to discr.ss such m:.Iters t over a telephone," retorted Mrs. Admington, spicily. "But I'm glad you d did. for it gives me a chance to tell you 0 you're a little simpleton if you marry n that man. and you'll regret it before r the year is out. He's old enough to be your father, and he wants you to 1. marry him before you've prepr.red II enough clothes to get you decently out u of town. He ought to be ashamed of i. himself, and you ought to be spanked, e Goodby." i- And then Mrs. Admington hung up 1 the receiver with a rap that almost >. broke the hook. "I've given that young woman a piece of my mind, and I hope it will s do her some good. But I don't suppose o it will.

A better plan, and one which is truly economical, is to turn the sour milk into a bowl and set it aside in a ' wai?m room or on the plate-warming ( shelf over the range until it becomes "clabber." Then take a square of cheesecloth or a pudding bag and turn the clab- 1 ber into it to drain. The best way is to suspend it over a bowl. Put in a little salt before turning it into the j bag. It must be left for several hours to drain. Then take down and add a small lump of butter, which may be worked into it. Add more salt if liked and make into ''pats" of cheese.

C1LLED IN A MINE SHAFT 'M alf a Score of Men Dropped Four Hundred Feet ;| onynffham Mine at Wllkesbarre, Pa.? the Scene of the DUaiter? Bodies Recovered. Wilkesbarre, Pa.?Ten miners were illed by the fall of the cage in the . tonyngham Mine of the Delaware and . [udson Company's workings, in the orthern district of the city. The men were being lowered to a ledium vein, when, 350 feet below the urface, the wire rope snapped and the age dropped 400 feet. As the news of the disaster flew irough the sections occupied by min- . L's crowds of women and children, creaming and weeping, ran to the baft opening, where the most disresslng scenes were witnessed. Resue parties finally recovered the terrily mangled bodies. ' ' The accident took- place shortly after o'clock In the morning. Several hunred men had been lowered to the vaious veins, and there were 200 men . *>8 till waiting when the fatal trip began. 'here had been no trouble with the lacbinery, and when the engineer tarted the cage down it went smoothie. He received the signal to stop at [illman vein, 350 feet from the mouth. f the shaft. As he was slowing up for the landing lie rope parted. The safety guide supposed in such ases to hold the carriage did not work nd was ripped out with the guides. nee clear of these the carriage boundd from side to side of the rock-ribbed batt, and when it reached the bottom o terribly bad it been battered that it ras a mass of splintered wood and svisted iron. The victims were doubt's* all killed during the fall. The foot tenders heard they frightful rashing, but could do nothing but wait ) see the whole mass fall into the ump. The shaft was so badly torn bat rock and limber continued falling or some time. The men on the surface were immeiately apprised of the accident by th* ebound, of the wire rope. They at nee formed rescuing parties and Juried into the mine by the emergency; penings. As no one remembered the men who >ad entered the cage, and as several mndred had gone Into the mine, the! ientity of some of the victims waa inknown for some time. Those who ,ad already entered the workings, bejg aware of the disaster, made their ray to the surface by other exits, "hey appeared by twos and threes, and re re immediately surrounded by the rantic women, a few of whom uttered ries of Joy, wiiile the others returned d i?eir watch. Crowds of the merely curious also lurried to the scene, until the sur- > ounding hills were black with people. The torn bodies were finally dug out f a mass of mud, wreckage and deiris and brought to the surface. The mtllatlon, in every case, was extreme. An investigation to fix the responsiility was at once started by Mine Inpector Martin. Whether the rope had; een worn partly through; or whether h?* pnerineer stonnprt sn suddenlv that be strain caused the break, Is not: mown. General Manager Rosa, of the orapany, who took charge of the work f recovering the bodies, said that Vllliam Cunningham, the engineer, ( ras one of the most reliable of the' mployes. Superintendent Foote was inable to account for the accident. Eight of the victims were Poles. Jharles Rochel and Frank Barney are: he English speaking miners who weredlled.
